Fitness Programs for Seniors

Salt-Water Pool

Make a splash in the salt-water pool. Our uniquely designed, aqua-size pool is always warm and inviting. It’s designed to use less harsh chemicals to keep the pool nice and clean. Fitness classes like Aqua Fit, led by Origin staff offer a fun, low impact exercise program that uses the water’s resistance to get you in shape.

Training Studio

Our Strength & Conditioning Training Studio boasts award-winning Kaiser senior’s fitness equipment. Regular strength or resistance training can help prevent the natural loss of lean muscle mass that comes with aging, as well as those with reduced mobility. Our training studio is designed to meet the needs of seniors with reduced mobility, so even those in wheelchairs can experience the health benefits of exercise and an active lifestyle.

Movement Studio

The Movement Studio at Origin is a bright and beautiful open space to get active. You can “Swing into Motion™” by participating in a dance class or stretch it out in a yoga class. Our fitness coaches lead you in all types of group fitness in this studio like Tai Chi, Chair Fitness, or Pilates, there’s something for everyone to enjoy here. Origin’s trademarked “Balance for Life™” class is everyone’s favourite. This is a physically therapeutic activity to restore and assist in fall prevention. In this class, we strengthen muscles and adapt focus to keep you balanced.
