Senior Fitness and Wellness

When was the last time you took an exercise class or a long group hike and people cheered when it was finished? No, not because it was over, but because it was so much fun!

At Newbury Court, fitness and senior wellness go beyond treadmills and eating right. It’s an integral part of our active community life where people come together to strengthen the human spirit. 

It’s having the right opportunities to pursue your highest potential by enhancing and maintaining your physical strength and well-being. It’s what keeps us young and feeling great.

Highly experienced certified personal trainers and health and fitness instructors offer one-on-one sessions, whether you’re looking for personalized attention a few times a week, an occasional check-in for adjustments to your routine, or the opportunity to continue physical therapy and rehabilitation.

They also lead invigorating group classes and programs suitable for all levels of abilities. Each trainer and instructor empowers residents to pursue their highest potential, and they make it fun, social and easy, too!

Ever try Tai chi? Perhaps now’s the time. It’s extremely therapeutic.

Walking groups are also extremely popular. Whether it’s a morning stroll up Buttercup Trail through the adjacent conservation land or an outing to Punkatasset, October Farm or Battle Road, there’s no shortage of steps taken to get out and go
