National Associationn of Seniors Fitness is proud to offer a valuable free service for older adults and for senior fitness specialists.
All across North America millions of older adults are seeking to regain or maintain physical health, vitality and independence. And, they are actively seeking qualified professionals to help them achieve these goals. In recent months numerous articles extolling the benefits of exercise programs for older adults have appeared in major publications nationwide including the New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times and many more. All have one question: “Where can I find responsible, safe senior exercise programs operated by qualified fitness professionals in my area?” To enable us to respond to these requests faster and more completely our Association of Seniors Fitness is initiating the Mature Fitness Network.
What is the Senior Fitness Network?
For older adults it’s a one stop source to find quality senior exercise programs. The list will include fitness programs available from health clubs, retirement facilities, social service and civic organizations, individual practitioners working on a contract basis and more. This information will be categorized by region and posted on the internet. When seniors who don’t have internet access call seeking a local exercise program, we will mail them a listing for their area.
For older adult fitness specialists it’s an excellent way to announce your exercise services to the public. Senior Fitness Network serves as a cost-free referral service for you by informing potential new clients about your exercise program.
