We're still having fun today with an earnest commitment to our members to provide exceptional education and exceptional personal attention. You don't have to be Fifty at Physical Therapy by Fifty 'n Fit! We want to be sure to point out that we treat all ages in our physical therapy practice; we love our young athletes and we love our older patients (and everyone in between)!

Our focus at Fifty 'n Fit is safe and appropriate exercise for a 50-year-old and above population. Every exercise program is designed for the individual. We all have different needs, weaknesses, areas of tightness, medical and orthopedic issues to work on, and personal goals that certainly should be pursued.
We're still having fun today with an earnest commitment to our members to provide exceptional education and exceptional personal attention. Our gym members are at least 50 years old! That creates a very different environment from the big, bustling multi-generational fitness centers. Fifty 'n Fit is owned and operated by physical therapists.
Individuals may join in the calendar year that they will turn 50; spouses may join if one member of the couple is 50. Can older adults, including those with medical issues, really exercise enough to make a difference? There are very important exercises that the person with bone loss really would be wise to do; and there are exercises that are truly dangerous and the person with osteoporosis should never do.
Please join us for our "Balance Training and Fall Prevention" Classes. Just call (505) 271-9616 for answers to your questions or to let us know you'd like to attend. Each series consists of four progressive sessions. Cost: $20 per session, or $70 if you sign up for the series of 4 (recommended). Please join us for "Osteoporosis: What You Need To Know About Safe Exercise and Body Mechanics".

Third round of PT (first 2 times with a different provider) and going to Fifty 'n Fit finally worked!!! I was with my physical therapist the entire time so she made sure I was doing my exercises correctly because she was right there the whole time and not trying to manage 2 other patients. She had visuals and helped me figure out how to incorporate what I was learning into my regular movements. BTW, it isn't for just people over 50 ( I was concerned).

My husband went to physical therapy, not the gym. Fifty 'n Fit is across town from us, and worth the trip. Pat, the physical therapist, is knowledgeable, considerate, friendly, and professional. She pushed him when he needed, but not so hard it was too painful. We're still doing the stretches and exercises she gave him. If you need physical therapy and are at a certain stage of life, Fifty 'n Fit is an excellent choice.
