The older we get, the more important it is to stay fit and healthy. That, however, can be easier said than done because as we get older, our bodies may have a harder time doing very physical activities. Despite this reality, this shouldn’t dissuade anyone from trying fitness activities, even in old age.
From Pilates and Tai Chi to ultrasound-assisted core and pelvic floor rehab, these three senior-friendly fitness spots make exercising enjoyable, rewarding, and even relaxing.
Lulou Beauty and Wellness
Lulou Beauty and Wellness was born out of the concern of two daughters for their mother. Rehabilitation medicine doctor and Lulou founder Kelsey Tan and her twin sister saw their once-energetic mom gradually become slower and more forgetful.
“As a rehabilitation medicine doctor, I knew that the key to reversing these declines was a combination of exercise, cognitive stimulation, and social engagement,” says Tan. “That understanding—and our desire to help our own mother—became the foundation of Lulou Wellness.”
Lulou Beauty and Wellness offers classes that encourage participants to try and explore, including Tai Chi and several forms of dance. This fitness spot also offers services that address osteoporosis and maintenance of muscle mass.
These activities are all beginner-friendly and are open not just to seniors, but also to young adults. Most of these activities can also be done on a chair, making it highly accessible for those with balance or mobility issues.
Lulou Beauty and Wellness is located at 3F Santolan Town Plaza, Col Bonny Serrano, San Juan. You can reach them by calling or texting 0917 110 8242 and by visiting https://lulouwellness.com/ or instagram.com/lulou_beautyandwellness/
Next+ Wellness
Next+ Wellness is another senior-friendly fitness spot whose beginnings are rooted in the love for a parent. CEO Angela Solquillo was inspired to launch Next+ Wellness after watching her 84-year-old father strive to stay active despite the limited options for physical activities.
“I realized that the Philippine wellness industry wasn’t serving the full spectrum of needs,” Solquillo points out. “We have studios for general fitness, we have clinics for athletes, but a significant gap exists for those who need healing innovation most: older adults and people managing chronic pain. This led us to our integrated approach.”
Built on accessibility and safety for all ages, Next+ Wellness offers different levels of Pilates (beginner, intermediate, and advanced) classes, as well as regenerative treatments such as Regenerative Cell Therapy. Aside from these, Next+ Wellness also has Stem Cell Activation Suite and Advanced Physiotherapeutic machines and treatments that can further aid in maintaining health and wellness.
NEXT+ Wellness is located at 4F CKB Centre, Tomas Morato, Quezon City. You can reach them by calling or texting 0927 883 7090 or by visiting instagram.com/nextwellnessph
Onelife Studio
Onelife Studio differentiates itself by being women-centric, aiming to become a “space where women can move intentionally, recover safely, and feel seen in every stage of womanhood,” according to founder Tanya Aguila.
“As our community grew, we began supporting more aging women who were seeking movement that felt safe, gentle, and purposeful. We met women navigating perimenopause and menopause, managing balance issues, joint pain, pelvic floor changes, and shifts in mood and energy,” she says. “Their needs called for deeper expertise, compassion, and specialized programming. Our team is committed to studying, training, and developing services that truly support them through these transitions.”
Recognizing the needs of both young and aging women, Onelife Studio offers Physiopilates, its signature Pilates program that is fully customizable and improves core strength, posture, balance, movement quality, and overall health. Other services include physio-led stretching, ultrasound-assisted core and pelvic floor rehab, and even theracupping, which boosts circulation and eases chronic tension.
Onelife Studio has locations in Alabang, BGC, Makati, Ortigas, San Juan, and Shangri-La Plaza Mall. The contact information of each branch is available on https://www.theonelifestudio.com/ and instagram.com/onelifestudio
Making health and wellness a priority
What these fitness spots have in common is the rejection of the idea that growing old equates to declining health and wellness.
“We believe [seniors] deserve the chance to continue living fully—to stay strong, sharp, and independent,” says Tan. “Investing time, effort, and resources into their health and well-being gives them that opportunity.”
“For me, investing in wellness for our seniors isn’t just about physical health,” adds Solquillo. “It’s the ultimate strategic investment in autonomy and dignity.”
As these three senior-friendly spots show, there are now more options for seniors who want to remain fit even in old age. However, Aguila wants to emphasize that active aging “is more than staying fit.”
“It is choosing a life where movement feels empowering, the body is supported, and every season is embraced with vitality and grace.”
