SAIL is a 12-week, evidence-based falls-prevention program for older adults that is designed to prevent falls through exercise and education. The SAIL program is a fitness class that includes aerobics, balance exercises, strength training with wrist and ankle weights, and stretching exercises to prevent falls. Additionally, participants receive information on home safety, safe footwear, medication, and vision health. |

Become a SAIL Leader
If you are interested in becoming a certified SAIL Leader so you can help provide more SAIL classes in the area please let us know.
The Montana Falls Prevention Program holds leader training throughout the state and we'd love to send some new trainers. The program itself will cover the cost of the training and travel. All you need is time, a willingness to learn, and enjoy working with seniors.
