Join us for our 

Ageless Athlete Program

4 Week Program starting on February 4th!

Aging isn’t about slowing down—it’s about staying strong and energetic. As we age, our bodies do change, but we are not powerless. We do have control over how fast or slow we age. Your chronological age does not have to dictate your lifestyle, activity level and sense of independence.

Structured group fitness training offers a powerful, scientifically validated path to maintaining strength, balance and power. You will boost your confidence, and can challenge outdated ideas about getting older.  

Ultimately, a group strength, balance and power training program promotes longevity and quality of life. It keeps you physically resilient, fosters independence, and ensures you can continue to enjoy an active lifestyle for years to come.  

By training together, supporting each other, and staying active, you can rewrite the story of aging—one workout at a time.

 

STRENGTH: A Critical Piece fo the Aging Puzzle

After age 40, we lose about 1% of our strength per year, unless we actively pursue maintaining (and even gaining) strength.

Building and maintaining strength as you age helps you to stay self-sufficient by improving your ability to perform everyday tasks such as lifting groceries, climbing stairs, or getting in and out of your car. It also reduces the risk of falls and injuries by enhancing muscle stability and balance, which are crucial for preventing accidents.

Strength training is critical for bone health. It stimulates bone density, which helps combat osteoporosis and reduces the likelihood of fractures. Additionally, it plays a key role in managing or preventing chronic conditions like type 2 diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, and obesity by improving metabolism, insulin sensitivity, and overall body composition.

Beyond physical health, maintaining strength also supports mental and emotional well-being. Regular resistance exercises have been shown to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety while improving cognitive function by increasing blood flow to the brain. These benefits contribute to better mood, sharper thinking, and greater confidence in daily life.

The Hidden Benefit of Training Balance

One of the obvious benefits of training balance is to reduce fall risk. It is well documented that balance training improves stability, coordination, and reaction time. This results in a decrease in anxiety about fall risk and improves mental health. 

Balance also enhances mobility, posture and core strength, which allows a person to move about more confidently and freely. Walking speed and leg strength are also improved. 

The hidden benefit of training balance is how it improves brain health. The attention, spatial awareness (where your body is in space) and the motor coordination required for balance training contribute to improved cognitive function of the brain.

The Missing Key to Staying Independent As We Age: POWER

WHAT is power? Power is the ability to generate force quickly. 

WHY is power important, I thought it was all about strength? 

Power is HOW we use our strength, for example, getting up from a chair, or catching yourself during a fall or toss a ball for your dog or grandkids. 

As we age, we actually lose power at a faster rate than we lose strength. It is key component in remaining independent as we age. 

Training that has a focus on power improves our ability for everyday activities like climbing stairs, reduces fall risk, improves mobility and overall resilience
