Silver Stars Fitness is a NYC fitness company/studio that helps men & women over 60 get stronger, move, feel & look better WITHOUT having to be in a typical “GYM” environment.

At Silver Stars, a big part of our program is to help our clients/members improve their balance and decrease risk for a fall.

You might have noticed once you turned sixty that your balance is not as good as it was a decade before. You might not feel as confident going up/ down steps or navigating obstacles or being in a crowed environment.

You think twice about getting in to a bath tub with the fear of not being able to get up or lose balance while trying to get up, or maybe you’re not comfortable with going down and getting up from the floor or playing  with your grandkids, especially when on the floor.

You go on vacation and sometimes you’re unable to participate in an activity because of the fear of falling.

Lack of balance affects our quality of life, as it robs us of our confidence to move freely and do the things we love to do.

Unfortunately, if you feel like you’re balance is declining, you’re not alone.

Facts about Falls

  • 35% of people over the age of 65 that full will injure or fracture a wrist, shoulder, low back, head, knee or hip.
  • 40% of people that suffer a hip fracture will die within one year.
  • Every 18 seconds a person over the age of 65 will fall.

The good news is you can improve your balance and decrease risk for a fall by performing the right balance exercises for you and of course, engage in a regular strength training program that addresses the muscles of your foot, ankles, hips, thighs, buttock and abdominals.

If you feel you need to improve your balance and want to decrease risk for a fall, we can help.
