As we age, it’s natural to lose muscle and strength. The good news? Science shows that strength training can rebuild muscle at any age or fitness level, helping you regain strength, improve mobility, and maintain the quality of life you deserve.
The challenge is knowing how to do it safely and effectively. That’s where Vivo comes in. Our program is built on the Science of Strength Training, designed specifically for older adults to help you stay strong, confident, and independent.
Each of our instructors is specifically trained in the Vivo program and has experience working with older adults. They recognize the injuries and limitations that can come with age and they understand how to make the workouts safe and effective, rather than just focusing on how many repetitions you did.
Our trainers are also real people from a variety of backgrounds. Many of them have a few gray hairs of their own. But the one common thread is that they have a passion for helping out folks like you get stronger and enjoy life more.
When you join Vivo, you’re never on your own. The Care Team is your dedicated support squad, here to make your experience smooth and stress-free.

There’s an old saying that goes “If you don’t measure it, you can’t improve it.” We live by these words and have built regular progress assessments into the Vivo program.
When you start Vivo, you’ll meet one-on-one with a Vivo expert who will measure your fitness on various scales such as Strength, Balance, Mobility, and Agility. Then, every 2-3 months, we regularly track you on those same metrics so you can see your progress and identify any areas needing extra attention.
These regular assessment reports will help keep you on track to reach your goals of living a happier and more active life.
"Exercise is by far the most potent longevity 'drug.' No other intervention does nearly as much to prolong our lifespan and preserve our cognitive and physical function."
Sign up for a trial and our Care Team will contact you to get started, explain how Vivo’s program is built for older adults, and answer any questions.
Take a private Zoom™ assessment to check strength, balance, agility, and discuss any injuries or health concerns so we can build a safe, effective plan.
Join regularly scheduled live Zoom™ classes from home, guided by your trainer and encouraged by classmates as you grow stronger and more active.

Strength training is one of the most effective ways to stay healthy and independent as we age. Researchers have found that it can preserve muscle mass, increase strength, and improve balance and mobility – all critical for reducing the risk of falls, injuries, and loss of independence. It can also play a major role in maintaining bone density and fighting the natural muscle loss that occurs over time.
In addition to its physical benefits, strength training supports metabolic health by improving insulin sensitivity and helping manage conditions like type 2 diabetes. Experts recommend starting slowly, using bodyweight exercises or light resistance bands, and gradually increasing difficulty. Even training just two or three times per week can make a measurable difference in overall health, energy levels, and quality of life. It’s never too late to start, and the results can be life-changing…
