Older Adult Health and Fitness Centers
JFS operates two fitness centers that assist older adults in remaining active and healthy. Our Fitness Centers use special ergonomically supportive exercise equipment designed for older adults. Our trained professional staff is dedicated to providing opportunities for older adults to live a healthier, more active life. In conjunction with our exercise classes, the fitness centers help participants to:
- improve balance
- increase endurance
- avoid falls
- maintain/improve range of motion and flexibility
- improve their overall health and wellbeing
Our fitness centers provide individual assessment and detailed exercise regimes for each participant using evidence-based practices and ongoing monitoring of their fitness profiles. In addition, we offer group fitness classes in strength, balance and flexibility training.
Adapted from the Cal State Fullerton and University of Southern California Fall Prevention Centers of Excellence, these programs are an outstanding way to strengthen the body, reduce stress and improve general well being.
