Silver Stars Fitness is an 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

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 crowded environment.

You think twice about getting into a bathtub for fear of not being able to get up or losing your 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, robbing us of the confidence to move freely and do the things we love.

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

Facts about Falls

  • 35% of people over the age of 65 will injure or fracture a wrist, shoulder, low back, head, knee, or hip.
  • 40% of people who 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.

The Silver Stars Balance & Fall Prevention Masterclass/Seminar is a one-time exclusive event that is part seminar and part hands-on practice.

Learn from one of the most dynamic, passionate, and high-energy speakers in the fitness industry. This Masterclass will leave you feeling confident, inspired, and fully equipped to take control of your balance & mobility.
