Empowering Seniors to Move, Feel, and Live Better

​

At Burns Gym, our Age with Vitality™ Program specializes in delivering live, fun, and engaging armchair-based online group exercise classes for nursing homes, assisted living, independent living and adult day services across the US, Scotland, England, and Wales — while also providing a personalised fitness program through our online platform.

Age with Vitality™ goes beyond just exercise: it’s a complete, person-centred system designed to support the health, strength, independence, and wellbeing of seniors through safe, enjoyable fitness.

​

About the Age with Vitality™ Program

​

Delivered live to hundreds of nursing homes and assisted living facilities across the USA & UK, the Age with Vitality™ Program combines two powerful components:

• Interactive, armchair-based group workouts delivered live via Zoom.

• Personalized online support with tailored fitness tracks and evidence-based functional testing for residents.

​

Each live session is led by brothers Joe and Tony Burns — three-time Scottish Personal Trainers of the Year — proudly wearing our signature kilts, bringing energy, tradition, and a personal touch to every class. Our live classes require no special equipment — residents simply need a sturdy chair. Where appropriate, light resistance is added using colourful water bottles to enhance visibility and make sessions more dementia-friendly. We focus on building physical health, boosting mental wellbeing, and strengthening social connections — helping residents stay active, engaged, and connected, whether living independently or in a nursing home or assisted living facility.

​

What Makes Burns Gym Different

​

At Burns Gym, we don’t just deliver workouts — we provide personalized, meaningful health solutions designed specifically for seniors.

Our Age with Vitality™ program is built around a holistic, evidence-based approach that prioritises:

​

• Strength and Balance Improvement

• Fall Prevention Support

• Cognitive Stimulation

• Social Connection

• Mental and Emotional Wellbeing

​

Every movement we deliver is carefully selected, tested, and refined in our private studio to ensure maximum safety, effectiveness, and enjoyment.

​
