Fitness training for seniors, under a physical therapy plan of care. Your therapist is a licensed physical therapist, so the training is built on an evaluation and adjusted as you progress — not a fixed program handed to you.

If something hurts, or you are recovering from surgery or a fall you have not had looked at, start with in-home physical therapy — that is where a new problem gets evaluated. This is for carrying the plan of care forward once you are past that point.

Who Senior Personal Training Helps

This may be a good fit

If any of these sound like your week

  • Getting out of a low chair has started taking a push off the arms
  • You hold the rail now on stairs you used to take without thinking
  • A fall, or a near miss, has made you more careful than you want to be
  • You finished physical therapy and do not want to lose what you gained
  • You have never trained in your life and have no intention of joining a gym
  • Someone in your family has started worrying about your balance

This is probably not the place to start

Some things need physical therapy first

  • Something currently hurts and nobody has assessed it
  • You are still inside a post-surgical protocol
  • You have had a fall and have not been checked over
  • What you need is rehabilitation rather than conditioning

What Gets Measured First

Most training for older adults is built on how somebody looks on the day. The first session replaces that with numbers you can check again in six weeks.

  • Getting out of a chairHow many times you can stand from a seated position in thirty seconds, without using your arms. It is the single most useful number for independence at home.
  • Walking speedHow fast you cover a set distance. It tracks closely with how far you can go in a day before it costs you something.
  • Standing on one legHow long you can hold it, each side. This is the balance measure that changes first, and it responds to training.
  • Grip strengthQuick to measure, and a reasonable proxy for how much strength you are carrying overall.
  • StairsYour actual stairs, with their actual rail, in the house you live in — not a step in a clinic.

You get the numbers, what they mean, and a plan built from them. Re-testing later is what tells you whether it is working.

What This Is, and What It Is Not

What it is

Strength and balance coaching from someone with clinical training. Dr. Said Haschemi is a licensed physical therapist and a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, so the person writing your plan understands how older bodies tolerate load — not just how to program a workout.

It happens in your home, using your furniture, your floor and your stairs.

What it is not

It is not a one-off assessment. The plan is re-tested and adjusted as you go, so it carries through rather than stopping part-way.

It is not a gym program in your living room. The measurement is the point. Anyone can write exercises; knowing what you will tolerate first is the part that matters at seventy.

Four Steps, Starting With a Phone Call

  • 1 · CallTell us what you want to be able to do, and what your recovery has looked like so far.
  • 2 · The first sessionThe measures above, in your home, and a conversation about what you want back.
  • 3 · Train the planBuilt around your house and your week. Nothing you need to buy to begin.
  • 4 · Re-testThe same measures again, so progress is something you can see rather than something you are told.
