Are you trying to figure out how to avoid the downhill slide of aging? Is your goal to stay healthy and active as long as possible? Do you want to continue to stay independent and doing the things you want to do? If so, then you're in the right place. Though many people believe they will eventually become weak and dependent on others, you're looking for a way to avoid that path. You want a way to take control of your aging journey and make better choices to maintain your health and fitness.
Maybe you've already seen this scenario play out with a parent or other family member. You've watched someone who was once vibrant and full of life begin to slow down as they got older. Now you're determined not to let age slow you down. If this is you, you're not alone. We hear these types of things all the time. In fact, our Specialty Fitness Options are growing rapidly at HouseFit as more and more aging adults want to take an active role in their aging process.
And when it comes to aging, everyone we see wants to know...
"What Can I Do To Stay Independent?"
Most people know that exercise is a way to help them stay active and independent, but they still don't take action. It might be because they don't know what steps to take to improve their strength and maintain their independence OR they don't truly believe they have any control over their aging journey. Maybe they've had a negative experience at a traditional gym because they were treated "old". Fortunately, there are several options to help place you on the path towards long-term independence.

Annual Check-Up
Preventative care is on the rise as the cost for healthcare soars. This shift helps people avoid hospital stays and surgeries by identifying problem areas early on and managing them right away.
Prevention is a much better choice than the alternative, which is to notice a problem (ex: poor balance) and ignore it or assume there is nothing you can do about it and let it continue to worsen with time. With this mindset, the issue will continue to grow bigger until it becomes a major problem (ex: hip fracture from a fall). Once you’ve traveled down this path, it will take more time, effort and energy to recover and manage the issue effectively.
Being proactive about managing your health is even more important as you age. According to the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA), you should schedule a visit to see a Physical Therapist every year. This is all because as you age, you are at a higher risk for experiencing declines in your overall health and in your ability to move around. That’s where we come in.

Fall Simulation Training
To supplement your treatment plan, you may qualify for sessions with our ActiveStep Balance Trainer. This type of balance training helps older adults stay steady on their feet. It’s called Reactive Step Training and it’s based on the principle of intentionally pushing someone off balance so they can practice catching themselves. Our ActiveStep Balance Trainer replicates real "slips" and "trips" in a safe and controlled environment. With practice, your reflexes get stronger and your balance improves. Users can reduce their fall risk by 50% after using this cutting edge technology.

Pat - 78
from Arnold, MO |
"After my husband passed a year ago, I knew I needed to make the decision to get more active to be able to maintain my house, work in my yard and stay independent. I had fallen several times and began to have a real fear of falling again. I found that I was intimidated by the gym scene and wanted to find something suited for my age and physical ability.
I am a results oriented person and have noticed my strength and balance improving. I've lost the fear of falling - it's not something I even think about now. When I first started classes, I needed to sit often, but not anymore. I recently took my grand daughters downtown and we couldn't find a close parking spot so we ended up walking 5 city blocks on cobblestone! I was so pumped I was able to do that!" |
