Revolutionary Fitness, the semi-private strength and longevity studio at 215 N. Payne St. in Old Town, wraps up its Fall Into Fitness program on Friday, October 31.
The 21-day program was built for adults over 50 who wanted to get stronger but weren’t sure where to start. Many hadn’t trained seriously in 10 or 20 years, and walking into a gym felt like starting over. Others had cycled through classes, apps, and programs that never stuck.
Most adults over 50 know the numbers their doctor checks every year: blood pressure, cholesterol, weight.
Almost none of them know how hard they can squeeze.
