Strength & Mobility Class Burlington
8-WEEK SMALL GROUP FITNESS PROGRAM FOR HEALTHY AGING
Welcome to Propelled Longevity, an 8-week strength and mobility program designed for active adults who want to move confidently, maintain their independence, and age with vitality. Offered at Propel Active Health & Lifestyle in Burlington, Ontario, this small group fitness class uses bodyweight exercises and resistance bands to build lean muscle, improve joint mobility, and support long-term bone health—without the impact of jumping, stress of kneeling, or strain of heavy weight lifting.
Led by certified trainer Peri-Lynn Harris, this healthcare-integrated program is perfect for fitness enthusiasts and active adults of all levels who are ready to invest in their longevity and feel energized, strong, and liberated in their bodies.
Benefits of Joining the Propelled Longevity Program
As we age, maintaining strength and mobility is essential for independence and quality of life. Adults can lose up to 50% of their muscle mass by age 80, with decline starting as early as the 40s. This muscle loss affects everyday activities—standing from a chair, climbing stairs, carrying groceries, and maintaining balance.
Bodyweight strength training and resistance band exercises provide the perfect solution. Unlike heavy weight lifting, this approach builds lean muscle tone while staying gentle on your joints, helping you develop functional strength that translates directly to real-world movements and lasting independence.
