Balance & Fall Prevention Class

Feeling unsteady on your feet or have a fear of falling?

At i’m FIT, we believe everyone should feel safe and confident in their bodies. That’s why we’re proud to offer a Balance & Fall Prevention Class!
You’ll learn how to regain strength, improve your balance, and reduce the risk of falling through a customized movement program and educational topics on prevention.

Curious about what a balance and fall prevention class entails? 

Our class is specially crafted to introduce you to a variety of exercises aimed at boosting your strength, endurance, balance, and confidence in preventing falls. Studies show that incorporating strength training is a key strategy in fall prevention. During our sessions, we utilize body weight and dumbbells for strength training while also educating you on risk factors that can contribute to falls and how to mitigate them.

Why should you consider joining our balance class? 

Falls are often preventable, yet they remain a significant cause of injury, especially for individuals aged 65 and older in the United States. By participating in our class, you’ll not only enhance your balance and coordination but also reduce your risk of fall-related injuries, such as hip fractures, which can lead to hospitalization.

What can you look forward to when you join our Balance and Fall Prevention Class? 

Our classes, spanning 50-60 minutes, run twice a week for 8 weeks. Our knowledgeable instructors are here to guide you through exercises, offering modifications for those who require additional support. Each session kicks off with a warm-up and ends with a cooldown, incorporating both seated and standing exercises. You’ll engage in strengthening exercises in various positions and balance exercises while standing close to a chair for added support. The classes also include an informative segment focused on understanding the causes of falls, identifying high-risk areas, learning about fall-related risk factors, and exploring strategies to minimize the chances of falling. We encourage active participation during these enlightening discussions.

Wondering who would benefit most from our Balance and Fall Prevention Class? 

This class is ideal for individuals who are worried about their balance when standing or walking, have a fear of falling at home or in the community, desire to enhance their strength and endurance, or simply wish to gain insights into reducing the risk of future falls.

Join us today and take the first step towards a safer and more balanced future!
