DrumFIT

If you swing by Pavillon LeBlanc at Faubourg du Mascaret on a weekday afternoon, you might be surprised to find the sounds of drumsticks tapping rhythmically on fitness balls, laughter echoing down the halls, and a line of residents eagerly waiting, sometimes an hour early, to snag their favourite spot in the room. What’s the buzz all about? It’s DrumFIT, one of the most popular programs offered in our community. 

DrumFIT is not your average exercise class. It’s a high-energy cardio drumming program designed for people of all ages and abilities, with a focus on fun, fitness, and flexibility. This class adapts to meeting residents where they are. 

Just ask Linda Lee, one of the program’s most enthusiastic participants. At 90 years young, Linda knows a thing or two about staying active. She likes to sit up front so I can see everything! 

For Linda, DrumFIT is more than just exercise, it’s a way to keep her body moving and her spirits high. The freedom to set her own pace means she can enjoy the class comfortably while still feeling energized and challenged. 

Raymonde, the Wellness Coach at Faubourg du Mascaret mentioned how much residents love this program, some of them start lining up an hour before class! DrumFIT has become a joyful part of daily life at Pavillon LeBlanc, offering a heart-pumping routine that’s as beneficial for wellness as it is for morale.
