Fitness Program

Feel good, stay health, enjoy life!...is exactly what our residents can expect from the Forever Fit program. Looking beyond diet and exercise, Forever Fit focuses on healthy choices for body, mind and soul. In addition to encouraging regular physical activity, good nutrition, the program helps stimulate mental function and build social relationships.

Waltonwood is dedicated to providing residents with fulfilling lifestyle choices. At our luxury senior communities, we consider health and fitness a major focus in our residents' daily lives. We understand that as individuals age, muscular and cardiovascular performance declines due to decreased physical activity.

Our fitness center's offer state-of-the-art European-designed exercise equipment created especially for seniors. The HUR system offers safe and comfortable methods of exercise formulated to promote an individual's sense of good health and well being. Waltonwood's Forever Fit staff offers a fitness coordinator and exercise physiologist who will evaluate each resident's specific abilities through a proper medical screening; creating a health and fitness program specifically designed to enhance their individual needs safely and effectively. HUR machines provide safe speed exercise to specifically address the muscle fibers that may be related to the increased risk of falling and resulting injuries; because maintaining balance often requires quick responses.

Resident Testimonial
“I like all the amenities here at Waltonwood at Twelve Oaks. I can get my mail without even going outside in the cold.”
“My husband and I chose Waltonwood because we were still independent and we could get around for ourselves but it also had the services available if we needed them. People don’t realize that Waltonwood is the answer to their prayers.”


Family Testimonial
“After visiting several different types of living options for my parents it became clear to me assisted living was what I was looking for.” “The minute I walked into the building I knew I had found what I was looking for. . . vibrant, clean, and smiling staff/residents.”
