The idea of having a personal trainer for seniors in College Park and Atlanta at large may not at first glance add up. After all, when someone hits their late 60s and up, society tends to assume they are ready to slow down and hang out at home.
Here’s the thing, though: that idea is as Old School as Mr. T and his gold chains or playing Frogger or PacMan in the Mall arcade.
Did you know that in the state of Georgia, seniors already play an important role in their local communities? They are staying more active and taking steps to improve their health as they age like never before. This will soon be even more the case, however, as over 20% of the state population will be over 60 by 2030. In the Atlanta area specifically, the amount of people over 60 is expected to double by 2050.
Inevitably, this growing population of seniors will be looking for ways to stay active and independent during their golden years. As a result, the need for personal trainers for seniors in College Park and Atlanta is quite clear.
Luckily, ElderFIT trainer Kristen has been working with seniors since 2016, giving College Park an experienced personal trainer that seniors can trust.
