AGING STRONG
Build strength, mobility, and fitness for the life you want to live
Program Overview
Aging Strong is a small group training program specifically designed to help you stay strong, improve mobility, and enhance overall fitness through safe and effective training methodologies.
Our program follows a framework that provides structure for each workout, while our Doctors of Chiropractic offer personalized modifications and adaptations to match your unique goals, circumstances, and physical needs. Whether you're managing a condition, recovering from injury, or simply want to stay active and capable in daily life, we meet you where you are.
Our sessions are relaxed and dynamic—not your typical group exercise class. You'll work at your own pace in a supportive, community-oriented environment where personal connections matter. We're not a large-scale gym or generic fitness center; we focus on individualized attention, proper technique, and fostering an atmosphere where everyone feels welcome and valued.
Led by highly educated professionals with extensive experience in exercise rehabilitation and aging populations, our team creates strength training programs that address the specific needs of your body while helping you build confidence, reduce injury risk, and thrive in a positive, encouraging environment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What conditions can your program address?
Our experts have extensive experience in working with a diverse array of medical conditions, such as pain management, osteoporosis, Parkinson's Disease, various types of cancer, musculoskeletal injuries, Type I & Type II diabetes, cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, musculoskeletal diseases and conditions, and more. Our team is proficient in effectively addressing a wide range of conditions through tailored exercise programs.
What makes your trainers different from typical fitness instructors?
A typical Personal Training certification involves independent study and completing a test or attending a weekend certification seminar. Our team members each hold at least a Master's degree in Kinesiology or Health. Our goal is to offer an exceptionally high level of proficiency in the fitness industry through our academic background and extensive experience working with more than 1,000 individuals.
What if I haven't exercised in years?
Our program is specifically designed for individuals who may have been inactive or are new to structured exercise. We start with appropriate assessments and begin at a level that's comfortable for you, focusing on proper form and building confidence before progressing. Many of our most successful members hadn't exercised regularly in decades before joining us.
