Men's Health

St. Anthony Hospital knows that good health comes from many different factors.  That's the reason Health Passport was created.  This free membership program offers lifelong learning, travel, health education and other special services for the Denver metro community.

National Men's Health Week is June 11-17.  With Father's Day just around the corner, why not give dad a gift from the heart--and one that's good for his heart?

Health Passport offers Yoga Just for Men every Tuesday and Thursday from 4-5 pm.  According to instructor Karen Kirby, the class can be taken by men of all ages and fitness abilites.  "I'm a runner and I really look forward to this class," say Neil Montague.  "It gives me a runner's high."

"The class has a lot of good humor and afterwards, I float home," adds classmate Colby Hatfield.  Both men have been in the class since it began in September 2011.  New participants are welcome to drop in and experiece a free class.

Health Passport offers men a variety of activities including fitness classes(strength training, Qi Gong, Tai Chi, Zumba and the new rage, piloxing) as well as walking groups, free health screenings and health education classes.

All fitness classes are offered at the Belmar location at 463 S. Vance Street in Lakewood.  Cost for Health Passport members: $7/class, or buy a punch card($25 for 5 classes or $50 for 12 classes).  Cost for non-members: $10/class, or buy a punch card ($30 for 5 classes or $60 for 12 classes).

Other activites and classes are held at various locations in metro Denver.  Check for Health Passport catalog online at http://www.healthpassport.org/ or call 720-321-8940 for information.
