AGING STRONG
Stay strong, fit, and active with expert-guided strength training
Program Overview
Aging Strong is a small group training program specifically designed to help keep you strong, improve mobility, and enhance quality of life through safe and appropriate strength training.
Our program follows a solid framework that acts as the foundation for each workout, while our Doctors of Chiropractic offer personalized modifications, assistance, and adaptations to ensure your unique goals and circumstances are taken into account.
Our sessions are not your typical group exercise classes. They are relaxed and dynamic, allowing you to work out at your own speed. We are not a large-scale class or generic fitness center. Our emphasis is on cultivating personal connections, tailoring workouts, and fostering a supportive and community-oriented environment where everyone feels welcome and valued.
Led by professionals with extensive education and experience, our team focuses on creating strength training programs that address the specific needs of aging bodies while creating a positive, encouraging atmosphere where you can thrive.

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.
