“A body in Motion stays in Motion”
– Sir Isaac Newton
Tribute Senior Living strives to offer residents a wide range of equipment, classes, and physical activities to improve their life, wellness, and happiness. And most of all our team makes it fun!
We offer many physical wellness amenities, including:
Customized Fitness Plans and Equipment: We design a customized fitness program for each resident to maximize individual results and encourage regular exercise. We also offer different strength training and wellness solutions from HUR and the Biodex Balance System.
Exercise Classes: We have many fitness classes available throughout the week. Some of our most popular classes include chair yoga, tai chi, chair boxing, and various rhythm exercise programs.
Outpatient Therapy: We have an onsite therapy department that offers occupational, physical, and speech therapy through our partnership with Ageility Physical Therapy Solutions. Our fitness and therapy programs are intertwined so that our residents receive cohesive support for their unique needs.
Tribute Fit Program: We incorporate various programs for our residents including those with dementia, such as our newest walking program. While walking is a great way to exercise, it also positively impacts brain health such as mood and cognitive functions.
After researching many types of fitness equipment, our founders found the highly sought after HUR strength training and wellness solutions. HUR is the leader in fitness equipment for seniors and targeted for the fitness intervention that we specialize in. Our fitness center offers HUR smart touch technology that adjusts resistance and positioning to each residents’ personalized training program. Our fitness director and outpatient rehab center utilize this equipment to help build strength and reserve muscle tone.
Physical activity recommendations for senior fitness can be tailored to meet the needs of every individual, regardless of age or ability. Research shows adults who do any amount of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity gain some health benefits. At least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity activity per week results in substantial health benefits. It is suggested to exercise at least three days per week. Multicomponent physical activities such as balance training, aerobics, and strengthening activities can reduce injury from falls and improve physical function.
Tribute provides a full time Fitness Director that will custom design a program for each resident and encourage them to exercise regularly. And we offer daily exercise classes, including Tai Chi, yoga, stretching and more.
Our Fitness Director incorporates a hybrid cross-training combining brain training and fitness, part of our “neurobics” program.
Falls are the greatest fear for most seniors, and with good reason – they can be devastating. We aim to prevent them.
The Biodex Balance System SD is a sophisticated and easy-to-operate piece of equipment that’s designed to improve balance, increase agility, and develop muscle tone. It is the only system of its kind that provides a fast, accurate Fall Risk Screening and a Conditioning Program to help prevent falls. We also participate in state regulated, Matter of Balance programs, designed to help residents reduce their fall risk.
