Stay Strong, Stay Independent
Georgia College & State University Continuing & Professional Education is pleased to partner with Vivo to offer members of the GCSU Learning in Retirement community a special opportunity to support strength, balance, and long-term independence.
Why Strength Training Matters
As we age, maintaining muscle strength becomes one of the most important factors in staying active and independent. Research shows that strength training supports mobility, balance, energy, and even cognitive health.
The good news? It’s never too late to start - and small, consistent steps can make a meaningful difference.
A Program Designed for You
Through this partnership, members have access to Vivo’s live, online strength and balance classes designed specifically for older adults.
Each session is led by a certified trainer and built around everyday movements- like standing, lifting, and reaching - helping you build strength in ways that directly support daily life.
Classes are designed to be approachable and adaptable. Participants may use bodyweight, light dumbbells, resistance bands, or simple household items.
Equipment: You'll need a sturdy chair. Exercise bands will be mailed to all new participants. No additional exercise equipment is required.
Device: A computer or mobile device with a camera is required, and participants should expect to have their camera and microphone on during workouts.
