Mapp, 49, has a track and field back-
ground — she helped officiate the
women’s javelin throw at the recent Penn
Relays — and coaches the Friends’ Central
indoor and outdoor cross-country teams,
in addition to her duties as assistant
fitness director. Under her tutelage the last
couple years, the class has morphed from
one originally designed for aging basket-
ball players — that would be me — to a
program for anyone from 50 to 70 looking
to improve their overall fitness.

“This relieves tension, keeps me fit,
keeps me flexible and I’m hoping that it
counters the effects of aging,” said
importer Simon Saionz, 66, of
Wynnewood, who regularly attends
the classes with his wife, Lynne, and
has the usual privilege of occupying the
space next to me. “It’s challenging, and
I generally don’t do these types of exer-
cises on my own.”
Other participants offered similar
sentiments, then noted that something
else may be even more important.
