Premier Retro Fitness Locations in Brooklyn are Now Participating in the Silver&Fit National Network of Fitness Facilities
BROOKLYN, NY (PRWEB) March 06, 2017 -- Retro Fitness is pleased to announce that it is now participating in the Silver&Fit® program’s network of fitness facilities, providing Silver&Fit to our members with no-cost access to two fitness centers in Brooklyn.
Retro Fitness of Church Avenue located at 2244 Church Avenue and Retro Fitness of Williamsburg located at 203 Berry Street are now proudly accepting Silver&Fit members.
The Silver&Fit program is one of the nation’s leading exercise and healthy aging programs for Medicare Advantage members. The program contracts with top-name national fitness chains, as well as smaller, local exercise centers, offering members a broad choice of fitness options. Silver&Fit's national network includes more than 12,000 fitness centers nationwide.
“Silver&Fit is one of the fastest-growing fitness programs serving the Medicare market,” said ASH Fitness Vice President Brett Hanson, MBA, MBF, DFSS, NASM-SFS. “We’re pleased to be able to provide our members with access to Retro Fitness in the Brooklyn area. Through the Silver&Fit program, Retro Fitness can better encourage maturing members to maintain a regular schedule of exercise to improve their overall quality of life.”
Silver&Fit members have access to all of the standard fitness facility amenities, including weight training and cardiovascular equipment, classes, pools, saunas and whirlpools*, where available. Select fitness facilities also offer exercise classes especially tailored for older adults.
The Silver&Fit Connected!TM Program provides members with the ability to track activity and exercise on one of 150+ wearable fitness devices, mobile apps and exercise equipment. Members can then view their activity results on SilverandFit.com. Activity tracking enables members to earn points and rewards for exercising routinely. Using these tracking tools, members can challenge themselves or engage in competitive challenges with other members who are tracking their exercise. Social networking, text/email motivational reminders and fun health tips make challenges more exciting.
“We are thrilled to become part of the Silver&Fit national fitness center network,” said Benjamin Peker, Senior General Manager of the two Brooklyn Retro Fitness clubs. “At Retro Fitness, we’re dedicated to helping people of all ages and health levels improve their fitness. By offering a truly affordable program like the Silver&Fit program, we can attract a larger number of older adults and help them maintain a regular schedule of exercise. We invite our senior community to join us and experience fitness, disease prevention, social opportunities and fun at our Retro Fitness locations.”
