Take the Journey to 30 Challenge With SilverSneakers
What’s a 30th Anniversary without a party game? Play along to stay active, connect with others, and have fun!
Who said you can’t get fit (or keep your strength up) in your 60s, 70s, and beyond? Not us! At SilverSneakers, we’ve been pushing the boundaries of what people think aging looks like since 1992.
And we’ve grown quite a bit over the past 30 years. At the beginning, we just had one signature class: SilverSneakers Classic. It started as a chair-based program that was only available in 15 locations in Phoenix and Tucson, Arizona.
Today, we offer hundreds of live classes each week — and many more through our Community partners and participating fitness locations. And there’s quite the array — from dance-style cardio to fall prevention moves to muscle-building workouts.
All in all, we’re here to prove that life (and SilverSneakers) gets better with age.
To celebrate our 30th anniversary, we’ve put together the Journey to 30 Challenge! It’s four weeks of summer-fun activities to help you stay active, connect with the SilverSneakers community, and have a total blast doing it.
Get and stay fit with SilverSneakers! Choose from dozens of different Community classes, visit a participating fitness location, or view the current schedule of SilverSneakers LIVE online classes.
