Why Generic Gyms Don’t Work for Delaware Seniors
Delaware has gyms. What it doesn’t have enough of is fitness options designed specifically for adults over 50.
Most local gyms cater to younger crowds. The equipment assumes healthy joints and good balance. Group fitness classes move at a pace that doesn’t accommodate arthritis, back pain, or post-surgical limitations. And the personal trainers on staff? They’re often certified for general fitness—not the specialized needs of aging bodies.
This isn’t a knock against those facilities. They serve their purpose. But if you’re 55, 65, or 75 and dealing with real physical challenges, a generic gym membership probably isn’t the answer.
What Delaware seniors actually need looks different:
Assessment-based training that identifies your specific weaknesses, imbalances, and limitations before creating a program. Functional movement focus that prepares you for real life—getting off the floor, carrying groceries, climbing stairs—not bodybuilding poses. Balance and fall prevention, which remains the number one concern for adults over 50. Pain management through proper exercise, not pushing through discomfort until something breaks. And above all, patience and understanding of how aging bodies respond to training.
FitFam delivers all of this. Every program starts with a comprehensive assessment. Dave holds ACE Senior Fitness Specialist certification, corrective exercise expertise, and brain health training credentials. This isn’t general fitness knowledge—it’s specialized skill developed specifically for the population he serves.
