Health and Wellness
Sometimes, it’s the little things that can get you to take a step towards fitness – an interesting class, the motivation of exercising with a friend, the feeling of support when you go to the gym. At Manorhouse, we provide an array of options to help get anyone motivated, whether it’s one-on-one training, participating in a class, or just taking a moment of mindfulness. Working toward wellness is a huge step in developing the lifestyle you’re hoping to live – Manorhouse can help with this.
Manorhouse residents have access to many health and wellness services onsite:
- Wellness Center with high-tech exercise equipment where you can work out with your friends.
- Chair Yoga and Meditation classes
