Rimbey Community Library

The Rimbey Community Library provided Pilates and Yoga classes in their facility from January to May 2025. The program’s goal was to make fitness classes available and accessible for everyone., providing the opportunity for all to participate, regardless of fitness level. The organizers worked to remove barriers, including financial barriers and also provide a safe and cost free way for moms with young children to attend a class without having to make childcare arrangements. There were 35 attendees throughout the program and the pilates class was the preferred fitness option of the attendees. 

The Community Library is the perfect venue for hosting these types of classes. The facility has a large doorway connecting the program room to the library, and this allowed children to move back and forth between being in the class with their moms, and being in the library. By having the program take place during the hour prior to library opening, the children had a safe and open area to engage in play, reading, and pilates.
