Geri-Fit® has been around since 1992. We were the first fitness company to launch an older adult exercise program that used dumbbell weights to strengthen and tone the body. In developing our strength training exercise dvd's and fitness programs for older adults, we sought the help of a geriatrician, a team of physical therapists, exercise physiologists and other healthcare professionals. Our two most popular osteoporosis dvds for senior strength training, Geri-Fit and 15 Exercises That Help to Prevent Osteoporosis, were part of published studies conducted by the Cleveland Clinic Foundation, and MetroHealth General Hospital in Cleveland, Ohio during the mid-1990’s. Some of our original licensed locations in North Olmsted, Streetsboro and Kirtland, Ohio still offer the program to this day.
New statistics show that 10,000 people turn 65 years of age every single day making the older adult, baby boomer health and fitness market one of the fastest-growing segments in the United States. These "baby boomers" are the 77 million Americans that were born from 1946 through 1964.
As more of this age group realizes that exercising with weights is a way to help prevent osteoporosis, increase bone density, increase muscle mass, minimize arthritic conditions, and improve overall health, they're trying to find places that offer older adult strength training exercise programs.
Our Geri-Fit workout program and fitness dvds are suitable for retirement centers, assisted living centers, universities, hospitals and senior centers looking to incorporate older adult fitness programming. Licensing the Geri-Fit program affords you ability to offer a tried and proven strength training exercise program. This turnkey approach provides you with a step-by-step workout format and takes all the guesswork out of creating a program from scratch.
After your instructor goes through the Geri-Fit® weekend certification program, she or he will be ready to teach and have the credentials of Senior Strength Training Specialist (SSTS). The Certification is conducted by the International Weightlifting Association, a state-approved Continuing Education Provider, and certification is offered twice a year at various locations throughout the United States.
If you don't have the staff or a certified exercise instructor to lead a 65 and over exercise program at your senior center, but you'd like to play the Geri-Fit exercise dvd so that your seniors will be able to follow along and do the exercises, you will need to purchase a Public Performance License (PPL). Since the dvd's that we sell are for private in-home use only, your center must be appropriately licensed in order to display the video for public broadcast. By paying the nominal $150 one-time License fee, you will be in full compliance with State and Federal trademark and copyright laws. This PPL License will allow the Geri-Fit® exercise program DVD to be played in a public setting.
