Your trainer knows your name, your goals and your limits, and adapts each exercise for you.
Social and fun
Training alongside friends keeps you coming back. Some of our groups have even trained for the Senior Games together.
Body, brain and balance
Every class mixes strength, balance and brain-body games, adapted for all fitness levels.
Inside a small group class
Every class is different, but here’s the usual flow.
Warm up together
As everyone arrives and catches up
Easy movement to get everyone loose, and a few minutes to say hello.
Work at your own level
In the strength circuit
Stations for legs, hips, core and upper body. Your trainer shows an easier and a harder version of each and helps you pick.
Steady on your feet
With balance practice
Partner and group balance drills, with a wall or chair close by for anyone who wants it.
Move, think and laugh
With a brain game
Games that mix movement with memory, rhythm or quick decisions.
Stretch and set a goal
As you cool down
A gentle stretch and one thing to practice before you see the group again.
Why training in a group works
The research on group exercise is encouraging, and it matches what we see in our classes.
Staying with it
People keep showing up
In long-running community group exercise programs for older adults, members attended about 70% of sessions on average, and feeling connected to the group was a big reason why.1
Results
As effective as one-on-one
A 2026 review of 71 studies found group and individual exercise work about equally well, with a small edge for groups on strength and flexibility.2
Connection
Friendship is good for your health
In a large review, social isolation was linked to a 29% higher risk of early death. A regular class is a regular chance to connect.3
Small group training is a good fit if you
- Enjoy exercising with other people
- Want expert coaching at a lower cost than one-on-one training
- Like having a regular class on your calendar
- Want to train with a spouse, friend or neighbor
