As we age, maintaining physical fitness is one of the most powerful ways to support health, independence, and quality of life. At Broadway Cityview Senior Living in Ft. Worth, Texas, we understand that wellness is not one-size-fits-all. That’s why we provide a variety of fitness opportunities designed to keep seniors strong, balanced, and energized—whether they call our Independent Living residences home, or benefit from the support of Assisted Living.
From a fully equipped fitness center to an inviting indoor pool and a robust calendar of group classes, Broadway Cityview makes it easy—and fun—for active adults to stay moving.
Why Physical Fitness Matters for Seniors
Physical activity supports every dimension of wellness. For older adults, exercise:
- Builds and preserves muscle mass to maintain independence
- Strengthens bones and joints, reducing the risk of osteoporosis and falls
- Improves balance and coordination, which supports safety and mobility
- Increases flexibility and range of motion for everyday comfort
- Boosts cardiovascular health and stamina
- Supports brain health and mental clarity
- Reduces stress, improves mood, and fosters social connection
At Broadway Cityview, our wellness philosophy centers around these proven benefits. By offering programs that focus on strength, core stability, balance, and coordination, we ensure every resident has access to the tools and training they need to thrive.
The Fitness Center: A Space Designed for Seniors
Our modern fitness center is equipped with safe, senior-friendly equipment that makes it easy to work on strength training, cardiovascular fitness, and flexibility. Unlike crowded gyms, Broadway Cityview’s fitness spaces are welcoming & calm so residents feel confident and comfortable.
- Strength machines designed for ease of use and safe range of motion
- Free weights and resistance bands for customized workouts
- Cardio equipment like treadmills and recumbent bikes that allow for joint-friendly endurance training
Here, residents can work one-on-one or in small groups, ensuring workouts are accessible and tailored to their needs.
The Indoor Pool: A Low-Impact, High-Benefit Resource
Our sparkling indoor pool is another favorite fitness amenity. Aquatic fitness is one of the most effective—and enjoyable—forms of exercise for seniors. The water’s buoyancy supports the body, making movement easier on the joints, while the natural resistance strengthens muscles and improves cardiovascular health.
At Broadway Cityview, our pool is home to Water Aerobics, a refreshing class where residents can enjoy both fitness and fun. This class helps build stamina, increase mobility, and support balance in a safe, low-impact environment.
Classes for Every Fitness Level
Our diverse schedule of fitness classes ensures that every resident can find an activity that fits their abilities, interests, and goals. Classes are also a great way to connect socially while building healthier habits.
Strength Training
- Fitness Grove: A lighthearted approach to building muscle strength and endurance. Using light weights, resistance bands, and functional movement patterns, this class helps residents improve mobility and independence in daily life.
- Fun, Functional Fitness: This class focuses on movements that mimic real-life activities, like bending, reaching, or lifting—making it especially useful for maintaining independence.
Core Strengthening
- Yoga & Tai Chi: Gentle yet powerful, these classes build flexibility, core strength, and mindfulness. Residents also benefit from improved posture and reduced stress. Tai Chi, in particular, has been shown to reduce fall risk by supporting balance and body awareness.
- Balance Bootcamp: A dynamic class designed to target stability, strength, and confidence. This program reduces the risk of falls, one of the most common concerns for seniors.
Coordination and Social Fitness
- Chair Volleyball: A resident favorite, this game combines movement, laughter, and friendly competition. It’s an excellent way to improve hand-eye coordination while building camaraderie.
- Dancing with Ginger: More than just a workout, this dance class keeps residents moving to music in a way that’s joyful, social, and fantastic for coordination.
These classes are designed with inclusivity in mind—ensuring everyone, from those new to exercise to long-time fitness enthusiasts, can participate safely and effectively.
Fitness for Independent Living Residents
Residents in our Independent Living residences enjoy full access to all our fitness amenities and classes. Many embrace this opportunity to keep routines consistent, stay social, and focus on health as a top priority. For these active adults, fitness isn’t about “slowing down”—it’s about staying strong enough to enjoy everything Ft. Worth has to offer, from local cultural events to time with grandchildren.
Fitness for Assisted Living Residents
For residents in our Assisted Living neighborhood, fitness continues to play a vital role in well-being. Classes and activities can be modified based on ability, and supportive staff help ensure safe participation. Fitness not only improves physical health but also boosts confidence, independence, and emotional well-being for those needing a little extra care.
Social Connection Through Fitness
Beyond the physical benefits, our fitness programs are also social events. Group classes and activities allow residents to bond, laugh, and motivate one another. Whether it’s sharing jokes during Chair Volleyball or encouraging a neighbor through Balance Bootcamp, exercise becomes a pathway to friendship and community.
This social aspect of wellness is especially important in senior living. At Broadway Cityview, we believe fitness and friendship go hand-in-hand.
