Personal Training for Adults 50+ in Upper Arlington, Ohio
Upper Arlington is an established residential city known for tree-lined streets, excellent amenities, and an engaged senior community. FitFam Personal Training is proud to serve Upper Arlington and the surrounding areas of Dublin, Hilliard, Worthington, and Grandview Heights with specialized fitness programs designed exclusively for adults 50 and older.
Upper Arlington’s mature neighborhoods are home to many adults who have lived active lives and want to maintain that quality of life as they age. Our training programs specifically target the five key factors of fitness for older adults — strength, balance, flexibility, coordination, and reaction time. Whether you’re recovering from a joint replacement, managing arthritis, or simply want to feel stronger, we meet you exactly where you are.
Active Living in Upper Arlington
Upper Arlington’s tree-lined streets and established neighborhoods make it one of the most walkable communities in Central Ohio. Residents enjoy Sunny 95 Park for outdoor recreation, the shops and restaurants along Tremont Road, and a proud connection to Ohio State through the Golden Bear tradition. The city’s senior population is engaged, social, and determined to stay that way. But when a bad knee turns the walk to Tremont into a painful ordeal, or when getting down on the floor to play with grandchildren feels impossible, quality of life suffers. FitFam helps Upper Arlington adults close that gap between the life they want and the body they are working with right now.

Why Upper Arlington Residents Choose FitFam Personal Training
Upper Arlington is a community that values longevity — in its homes, its traditions, and its residents’ commitment to staying active. FitFam shares that long-term perspective. We do not offer quick fixes or trendy workout fads. We deliver structured, progressive training built on the science of how bodies over 50 actually respond to exercise.
Dave Lewis combines his ACE Older Adult Specialist certification with credentials in Alzheimer’s Disease Fitness (MedFit) and the Biomechanics Method for corrective exercise. This means he can work confidently with Upper Arlington clients managing everything from chronic back pain to early cognitive changes — designing programs that address multiple health priorities simultaneously.
What Upper Arlington clients appreciate most is the accountability. With in-home training, there are no excuses to skip. Dave shows up at your door with a plan tailored to how your body is responding that week, adjusts in real time, and tracks your progress with measurable benchmarks.

What if I have chronic back pain or sciatica?
Chronic pain is one of the most common reasons Upper Arlington clients seek out FitFam. Dave’s Corrective Exercise Specialist certification (Biomechanics Method) focuses specifically on identifying and resolving the muscle imbalances and movement dysfunctions that cause persistent pain. Many clients report significant pain reduction within weeks of starting their program.
How is FitFam different from personal trainers at local gyms?
Most personal trainers hold general fitness certifications and work with clients of all ages. Dave works exclusively with adults 50 and older and holds five specialized certifications in senior fitness, corrective exercise, brain health, and Alzheimer’s fitness. His programs are designed from the ground up for aging bodies — not adapted from routines meant for younger clients.
What happens at the free senior fitness assessment?
The assessment includes three components: a Senior Fit Test that measures your functional strength and endurance, a balance evaluation to screen for fall risk, and a posture assessment to identify alignment issues. The entire session is educational and conversational — you will understand exactly where you stand and what improvement looks like.
