Keiser - equipment of choice for older adults

Although most people tend to think of athletes when they think of the Keiser name, Keiser is also known as "the equipment of choice for older adults". Some of the Keiser Performance Equipment is, in fact, designed with the needs of the older adult in mind.

On their over ten year commitment to improve the quality of life for those adults over age 40 they say: "Our commitment began in 1994 after six years of research at major universities using Keiser's Pneumatic Technology showed astonishing results."

And on their website they say (bold added by me):

"When we created the Infinity Series, our version of the cable machine, we wanted to make a piece of equipment that could do anything and everything. Now one of our best selling pieces of equipment, everyone from the rehabilitator, older adult, and performance sports training facility swear by the Infinity Series."

They are very proud of their reputation as being the choice of equipment for older adults and their unique line of pneumatic based strength equipment is perfect for the home gym. In fact, Keiser is so committed to this that they have created what they call the "S.T.E.P. in the Right Direction" program, with a step by step manual for the creation, design and operation of an older adult exercise facility, and The Keiser Institute on Aging that has the stated mission of:

"Our mission is to integrate the efforts of researchers, practitioners and healthcare professionals to provide awareness and access to education, resources, programs and services that will empower older adults to achieve optimum health in the six dimensions of wellness."

Family caregivers and their care recipients should look into Keiser when they are considering the move to creating a home gym, or if you will be joining a public gym ask if they have Keiser equipment and follow the Keiser S.T.E.P. program for older adults.
