utes of strength exercise, eight to
10 minutes of stretching, and conclude
with a daily health tip from
the group leader. West Fargo Park
District offers SAIL three mornings
per week to people ages 55 and older
and has adapted SAIL to meet all
physical abilities with participants
working at their own pace, either
seated in a chair or standing.
Growing Interest
Since its first SAIL class in 2018,
West Fargo's program has grown
from 21 participants to more than
100 attending each class session in
2024. Currently, SAIL is held on the
30,000-square-foot indoor field turf
at the Rustad Recreation Center.
New participants can join anytime,
free of charge.
Through SAIL, the park district
has hosted informational speakers
addressing topics relating to health,
wellness, assessments and life enrichment
classes hosted by community
partners and resources, which
are free to participants after the class
sessions. " This program has been
around for a few years now and has
been such a great program for our
community, which I hear every day
from our SAIL participants, " Hauschild
says. " Not only does SAIL offer
a wide range of exercises three
times a week, but it also builds
friendships among class attendees. "
Belisle comments, " When we
started the SAIL program in the
fall of 2018, we had no idea how it
would be received or better yet what
it would turn into.... You know you

did something right when participants
come up to you stating how
important this class is to them and
how it has changed their daily lives.
SAIL is more than an exercise class;
it has spawned new friendships, social
opportunities and even a wedding.
When you hear us say we're
not saving lives here, well maybe
not, but we are sure making it better
for a lot of people. "
