Our Approach
As we age, muscle loss, known as sarcopenia, becomes a serious concern, leading to decreased strength and mobility. At EMS Fitness, we combat sarcopenia through evidence-based strength training exercises designed to preserve and build muscle mass. Strength training is not just important—it’s essential for older adults to maintain their independence, protect their joints, and prevent frailty. We incorporate resistance exercises, balance work, and functional movements that support everyday activities, making sure each session is customised to the individual’s abilities and medical background.

Senior Fitness Facts
- As we age, one of the most significant changes the body undergoes is the gradual loss of muscle mass, a condition known as sarcopenia. Without intervention, sarcopenia can lead to decreased strength, reduced mobility, and a higher risk of falls and injuries. Strength training is crucial for older adults to combat this muscle loss, as it stimulates muscle growth, improves bone density, and enhances overall physical function. By incorporating resistance exercises into your routine, you can slow down or even reverse the effects of sarcopenia, helping you maintain independence and stay active well into later years.
- Falls are one of the leading causes of injury among older adults, often resulting in a loss of independence. Functional strength and balance training are essential in reducing this risk. Exercises that enhance coordination, stability, and core strength improve your ability to maintain balance in everyday movements, such as walking or climbing stairs. Regularly practising these exercises not only reduces the likelihood of falls but also increases confidence in performing daily activities, helping seniors lead a safer and more active lifestyle.
- Cardiovascular fitness plays a vital role in sustaining energy levels and overall well-being as we age. Low-impact aerobic exercises help improve heart health, increase stamina, and support efficient circulation. By maintaining cardiovascular fitness, older adults can experience improved endurance and a reduced risk of chronic conditions like heart disease and hypertension. Keeping the heart and lungs strong not only extends longevity but also improves the quality of life, allowing seniors to remain active and engaged in their favourite activities.
