At The MOB, we’re thinking ahead:
we’re focused on preparing you for daily life’s requirements now AND the next 20+ years.

Our comprehensive and supportive online physical therapy and strength training program helps you maintain your quality of life as you age.

Within the fitness industry, the 50 and over population is under-served, under-estimated, and under-educated. Mainstream fitness targets either a younger and uninhibited crowd or a “senior” chair yoga crowd. There’s a massively under-served population in between that’s looking for guidance, ways to regain and maintain strength and mobility without fear of injury in a fast paced class but still capable of being challenged. The fitness industry, along with our medical system and the media frequently and unnecessarily coddle anyone with a gray hair which robs this population of their agency and reduces their autonomy. Additionally, society has failed to push the legitimate and heavily supported science forward for this population — that strength, mobility, and agility are first line treatment options for managing osteoarthritis, osteoperosis, menopause, falls prevention, and chronic pain.

OUR THREE PILLARS

Longevity Training

Strength, mobility, and agility — key components to living longer, better, and enjoying the process.

What does this really mean? It means being able to play with your grandkids and then your great grandkids: picking them up, chasing them down, and being on the ground with them. It means carrying heavy groceries up the stairs. It means lifting your carry-on up into the overhead compartment. It means catching yourself when you trip on the sidewalk. You can already do these things? Great, let’s work to make sure you can do them in 20 years also.

Relationship

One-on-one support to meet your individual needs while being part of a larger community.

How is this possible? Because the classes are limited to 6 students per class; the teachers are professional and experienced movement coaches and physical therapists attentively watching your movements during class; and you’ll have an assigned membership coach to support you through your membership experience.

Education

A learning environment for life long confidence in how to manage physical activity in every day life.

What education will we offer? Experienced coaches who love to educate during class so you’ll be empowered with skills for daily life, not just exercise form. Workshops that focus on why and how to stay active when managing with things like menopause, falls prevention, arthritis, or chronic pain, and more. A stream of resources via our app, monthly newsletter, and website to keep you engaged with up to date info about moving and aging well.

Our Ethos

Our coaches, with extensive backgrounds in movement, physical therapy, and aging, have varied styles and approaches. We are interdisciplinary and don't adhere to a single methodology; instead, our classes follow a set of ethos around movement health, aging, and pain. rooted in anti-fragility, variability, applicability, non ageism, and autonomy through progressive strength training. In addition to regular classes, we offer workshops on physical training with menopause, chronic pain, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, and more.

  • The Bio-Psycho-Social model of pain: pain is an output of the system influenced by biological, psychological, and sociological factors in one’s life. Tissue damage and pain are not always correlated and there are many psychological and social factors available to help someone out of their pain experience.

  • R&R Narrative: The body is Resilient and Robust, otherwise know as an anti-fragility narrative. Our bodies are inherently strong, smart, and capable of adaption at any age. We are designed to move in a variety of ways and there is no such thing as a “wrong” movement. Often what seems like age related decline is more a factor of how we use (or don’t use) our bodies. We are here to promote robust and resilient aging via our Longevity Training program.

  • Age Equality: otherwise known as anti-ageism, we believe that every member is assessed and coached based on their capabilities—actual and potential— not on their age. Time is one of many factors that influence feelings of stiffness, weakness, and loss of balance.

  • Progressive Overload: Strength training is a non negotiable for moving well as we age. Choosing a load or variation during exercises that challenges your body’s current status quo is a requirement for your body to adapt. Slowly and on a case by case basis, we encourage our members to choose more and more challenging variations and weights to continue their strength adaption process toward an upward trajectory.

  • Movement Variability: Exposure to and conditioning a variety of whole body movements, joint angles, and loads is essential to movement health at any age. The more options our brain has to move our body, the better off we are at mitigating injury as we move through daily life.

  • Curiosity: Curiosity is a prerequisite to awareness, and awareness is the foundation from which so many movement possibilities are born. With awareness, we can change our movement patterns as needed, mitigate injury during training, and engage with chronic pain in a way that keeps us empowered. Curiosity also encourages a departure from the idea that there is “correct” and “incorrect” form.
