SilverSneakers is a health and fitness program designed for adults 65+ that is included with qualifying Medicare health plans (Blue Cross Medicare Advantage, Platinum Blue, Senior Gold and other Medicare Supplement and SecureBlue plans).

It provides access to thousands of fitness locations1 across the county. From weights and machines to group classes2 led by trained instructors, there are options for all fitness levels. In addition, SilverSneakers provides mental enrichment opportunities where members can learn new skills and continue lifelong learning.

These programs help our members improve their health, stay independent, and continue to do the things they like to do.

Visiting the gym is a great place to stay active and find community. Unfortunately, most gym membership programs are geared toward younger individuals and don’t consider seniors’ specific needs. Senior gym membership programs focus on exercise classes tailored to people 65 years+. Such as balance training and adaptive exercises, including workouts completed sitting down. These classes vary but include Zumba, water aerobics, general exercise, and more. The fitness program also features facilities with suitable equipment for senior citizens. The exercise instructors and personal trainers often either have experience working with an older demographic or are seniors themselves. If you're interested in discovering more, click here - SilverSneakers list of gyms
