Redefining Fitness for Seniors
Have you heard of SilverSneakers? It’s not your average gym membership; it’s a fitness revolution tailored specifically for adults 65 and older.
Imagine a program where every routine and move is designed to meet the unique needs of seniors, from strength training and balance work to stamina and flexibility exercises. That’s the magic of SilverSneakers!
Why Physical Activity Matters for Seniors
As we age, staying active becomes even more critical. Regular physical activity can significantly reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke in seniors, bringing it down to levels similar to active younger individuals. It also slows the decline in body function, helping seniors maintain their independence and quality of life.
But the benefits don’t stop there. Studies have shown that seniors in the best physical condition often enjoy better mental health as well. It’s no wonder SilverSneakers is such a beloved program among older adults!
Six Reasons SilverSneakers Stands Out
Live Fitness Classes in Gyms
Professional instructors lead engaging classes, answer questions, and offer corrections to ensure your safety and maximize your workout. Regular physical activity keeps your brain, heart, bones, muscles, and joints healthy at any age. Even if you have a chronic condition like arthritis, diabetes, or osteoporosis, safe exercise can make a world of difference.
Access to Live Classes Online and On-Demand Videos
Getting to a gym can be challenging for some seniors. That’s where SilverSneakers shines! Enjoy the convenience of working out from home with live online classes or choose from their extensive catalog of on-demand videos. Click, play, and move from anywhere, anytime!
Entry to Thousands of Gyms Nationwide
SilverSneakers is accepted at a vast network of gyms across the country, including all YouFit Gyms. This means you’ll have access to a wide variety of equipment and specialized group classes designed specifically for seniors. These classes often incorporate hand-held weights, elastic tubing, and balls for resistance training, making your workout fun and social.

Meet YouFit’s SilverSneakers members:
Nena S. | YouFit Gyms & SilverSneakers Member
Nena started coming to SilverSneakers in a wheelchair and her doctor said she wouldn’t be able to walk again. With SilverSneakers Nena got stronger and stronger. She went from a wheelchair, to a walker, to using a cane, and now she can walk on her own!
Deborah H. | YouFit Gyms & SilverSneakers Member
Deborah and her husband both joined when YouFit opened at Boynton participating in a variety of classes, like SilverSneakers and Zumba. Even with her husband’s health declining (he has dementia), they were religiously at the gym and always matching each other and dressing for every holiday. After Covid, her husband’s health continued to worsen and he was not able to come back. Deborah remained consistent and continued her workouts. In addition to SilverSneakers, Deborah began taking cycle classes and has become a regular. Deborah says the main thing for her is the gym is her stress reliever and she looks forward to her classes.
Beverly A. | YouFit Gyms & SilverSneakers Member
After Beverly’s knee replacement, she couldn’t walk well but still came to class and tried her best. She built up her endurance and strength, she can walk and has lost weight.
