Key Benefits

Preserved and Improved Strength

Progressive resistance training helps maintain and build the strength used for stairs, carrying bags, rising from a chair, and other daily tasks.

Balance and Fall-Risk Training

Trevor Cassidy programs balance, lower-body strength, controlled single-leg work, and lateral movement based on the client's current ability and support needs.

Stronger Bones Through Progressive Resistance

Weight-bearing and resistance exercise can support bone health when appropriate for the individual. Trevor Cassidy follows restrictions provided by the client's physician or physical therapist.

Greater Independence and Confidence

Strength and balance work targets the physical tasks involved in shopping, cooking, traveling, and participating in family activities.

A Program Built for Recovery

Training volume, rest periods, and weekly frequency are adjusted for the client's recovery, health history, and response to previous sessions.

Who This Is For

Adults aged 60 and older seeking to maintain independence
Seniors recovering from falls or looking to prevent them
Older adults managing chronic conditions like arthritis or diabetes

Frequently Asked Questions

Is personal training safe for seniors with health conditions?

It may be appropriate with medical clearance and a program that follows your healthcare provider's restrictions. Trevor Cassidy reviews relevant guidance and adapts exercise selection, range of motion, load, and recovery. Personal training does not replace medical treatment or physical therapy.

How does personal training help prevent falls in seniors?

Fall-risk training may include balance and functional exercises, lower-body strength, and practice with everyday movement patterns. An abridged Cochrane review found that exercise reduced the rate of falls among community-dwelling older adults by 23% (Sherrington et al., 2020).

What equipment is needed for senior personal training?

Senior training sessions use a mix of bodyweight movements, resistance bands, light dumbbells, stability balls, and balance tools. Equipment is selected based on your current abilities and gradually progressed as you get stronger. No heavy barbells or complex machines are required — the focus is on functional movements that translate directly to daily life.
