yoga The Goodman-Rotary 50+ Fitness program began in 1994 with a generous donation from Irwin and Robert Goodman. The philanthropists formed a partnership with the Downtown Rotary Club of Madison, which manages the endowment fund, and MSCR, which runs the program. Here are some interesting facts about our thriving 50+ Fitness Program:

The program now serves more than 4,000 older adults in 224 classes including aqua exercise, kayaking, strength training, low-impact fitness, yoga, Tai Chi, golf, walking clubs and many more at affordable prices.
Since 1994, 25,557 seniors have participated in the Goodman-Rotary program!
The program has received awards from the Wisconsin Parks & Recreation Association and the National Park and Recreation Association Regional Award Great Lakes Regional Council.
