CHICAGO, IL - July 6, 2026
ElderFIT, a platform connecting older adults and their families with qualified personal trainers, announced the expansion of its in-home senior fitness services across Chicago.
Through ElderFIT, older adults and their families can find personal trainers who travel directly to the client's home for individualized fitness sessions. Training can focus on strength, balance, mobility, functional movement and maintaining the physical abilities that support an active and independent lifestyle.
"Chicago has a significant and growing population of older adults who want to remain active and independent," said Dave Manzer, Co-Founder of ElderFIT. "By bringing qualified personal trainers directly into the home, we can make personalized fitness more accessible while removing some of the transportation and mobility barriers that can make regular exercise difficult."
Supporting Chicago's Growing Senior Population
Chicago is currently home to just under 375,000 older adults, and the city's senior population is expected to double by 2040.
As that population grows, so does the need for services that help older adults maintain the strength, mobility and balance needed to continue living active and independent lives.
ElderFIT's in-home approach gives older adults the opportunity to work one-on-one with a personal trainer without having to regularly travel to a gym. This can be particularly valuable for people who have mobility limitations, no longer drive or simply feel more comfortable exercising at home.
Personalized Fitness at Home
Rather than using a standardized workout program, ElderFIT trainers personalize sessions around each client's current abilities, fitness level and individual goals.
Depending on the client, sessions may focus on building strength, improving balance and mobility, increasing endurance or maintaining the functional movement needed for everyday activities such as climbing stairs, completing errands and moving comfortably around the home.
ElderFIT's Chicago network includes trainers with professional fitness certifications and experience working with older adults. Their backgrounds include strength training, balance and mobility, flexibility, conditioning and functional fitness.
Helping Families Support Aging Parents
ElderFIT also gives adult children and caregivers a way to find fitness support for an aging parent, including when family members do not live nearby.
Families can search for trainers based on the older adult's ZIP code, review individual trainer profiles, experience and qualifications, and request an in-home session through the ElderFIT platform.
The Chicago launch is part of ElderFIT's continued expansion into communities across the United States, with a focus on making personalized fitness more accessible to older adults who want to stay strong, active and independent.
