More than one in two older people in Spain lives with joint diseases
The énergie Fitness Iberia gym franchise chain has created a free exercise program for people over 70 years of age. Silver Warriors is a program created to improve the quality of life of adults over 70 in Spain.
The program seeks to demonstrate that fitness and physical activity are for all people, regardless of age, level or physical condition. “The fitness industry for a long time has primarily focused on young people between the ages of 18 and 35 who want to stay in shape. At énergie Fitness we love our young members, but the benefits for seniors are enormous and we don’t have people over 70 in our gyms, so we decided to create “Silver Warrior” a strength training for 70+ “, Rod Hill , President of énergie Fitness Iberia.*
Silver Warrior has been designed by experts from énergie Fitness Iberia to help people over 70 to get stronger in a safe, controlled and fun environment. Initially, the program will take place at the Volpelleres club in Sant Cugat and will gradually expand to the other gyms in the chain in Madrid, Barcelona and Tarragona.*
Strength training is much more important than cardio for people over 70 because it maintains muscle and joints and helps older adults stay independent, healthy, and strong . Strength training helps maintain balance, resulting in fewer falls and hip fractures and helps relieve pain from stiff joints and arthritis.
Diseases such as osteoarthritis, arthritis or rheumatic problems are very common among the elderly in Spain. The presence of general pain in people older than 75 years amounts to 43% of the population. Similarly, it is estimated that approximately 40% of European spending on medical care is occupied by the elderly.
How will Silver Warriors work?
*At the beginning of the “Silver Warriors” program, the énergie Fitness Iberia team will do a strength test of all the main muscle groups. Quadriceps, glutes, lower back, among other muscle groups. This will allow understanding the possibilities that each participant has to have a personalized exercise program for her physical abilities.
Initially, the first Silver Warriors will be able to train at énergie Fitness Sant Cugat where the trainers of the gym franchise brand will be in charge of training them for 6 weeks to achieve the expected results: Increase in physical strength, independence, vitality and quality of life in those over 70 years of age.
Who will be able to participate in Silver Warriors?
*Anyone over the age of 70 who wants to gain strength, independence, vitality and quality of life. To enroll in the program, all you have to do is leave your information on the website https://energiefitness.es/silver-warriors/ so that the énergie Fitness Iberia gym franchise team can contact the candidates for the first group of Silver Warriors from Spain.
