This class is designed to help you:
-
Build and maintain muscle
-
Support bone density
-
Improve balance and mobility
-
Increase strength safely with expert coaching

Preserve your independence and quality of life

The goal of strength training after 65 extends beyond building muscle. It's to stay independent, capable, and active for years to come.
Why Bend Adults Over 65 Need Strength Training

Bachelor, walking the Deschutes River Trail, gardening, pickleball, or simply keeping up with your grandchildren, your body needs the strength to support the life you want to live.
As we age, it's natural to lose muscle, bone density, balance, and power. These changes can make everyday activities, as well as the outdoor adventures you love, feel more difficult and increase your risk of injury or falls.
Without intentional strength training, you may notice that:
Hiking leaves you more fatigued.
Skiing feels harder on your knees.
Getting up after gardening takes more effort.
Uneven trails feel less stable.
Recovery takes longer than it used to.
