Fitness Program
Feel good, stay health, enjoy life!...is exactly what our residents can expect
from the Forever Fit program. Looking beyond diet and exercise, Forever Fit
focuses on healthy choices for body, mind and soul. In addition to encouraging
regular physical activity, good nutrition, the program helps stimulate mental
function and build social relationships.
Waltonwood is dedicated to providing residents with fulfilling lifestyle
choices. At our luxury senior communities, we consider health and fitness a
major focus in our residents' daily lives. We understand that as individuals
age, muscular and cardiovascular performance declines due to decreased physical
activity.
Our fitness center's offer state-of-the-art European-designed exercise equipment
created especially for seniors. The HUR system offers safe and comfortable
methods of exercise formulated to promote an individual's sense of good health
and well being. Waltonwood's Forever Fit staff offers a fitness coordinator and
exercise physiologist who will evaluate each resident's specific abilities
through a proper medical screening; creating a health and fitness program
specifically designed to enhance their individual needs safely and effectively.
HUR machines provide safe speed exercise to specifically address the muscle
fibers that may be related to the increased risk of falling and resulting
injuries; because maintaining balance often requires quick responses.
