Stay Active, Stay Independent with the Arthritis Foundation Exercise Program!

Are you or a loved one living with arthritis or joint pain? The Arthritis Foundation Exercise Program (AFEP) offers a safe and supportive way to stay active, improve flexibility, and reduce pain. Taught by certified instructors, these gentle exercises are designed to help older adults increase strength, balance, and overall wellness—no matter your fitness level!

We are proud to offer this life-enhancing program throughout Southwest Florida and are actively looking for dedicated volunteers who are passionate about improving the lives of older adults in our community.

We serve the following 7 counties:
Charlotte, Collier, DeSoto, Glades, Hendry, Lee, and Sarasota.

If you are interested in volunteering or would like to learn more about joining an AFEP class near you, please contact the Elder Helpline at 866-413-5337.

Together, we can help our older adults move better and feel better—one step at a time.
