30 minutes or less. Five days a week. One program your residents will look forward to.
One structured program covering everything your residents need to stay strong, mobile, and mentally engaged — designed for real senior living settings.
Falls are the #1 cause of injury-related death among older adults. Better5's Balance pillar directly addresses the underlying causes: weak stabilizer muscles, poor proprioception, and lack of postural confidence.
Sessions are structured, progressive, and safe — always chair-supported or standing with support available. Every resident can participate.
Functional strength — the kind that helps your residents get up from a chair, carry groceries, open doors — declines with age but is highly trainable at any age. Better5 Strength sessions focus on exactly that.
No weights required. Resistance bands, bodyweight, and everyday movement patterns are all we need.
Stiff joints, tight muscles, and reduced range of motion make everyday tasks harder — and increase injury risk. Better5 Mobility sessions use gentle, guided stretching and movement to ease restriction and restore comfort.
Many residents notice reduced joint pain and stiffness within the first few weeks.
Cardiovascular health and stamina are directly linked to quality of life in older adults — and low-impact endurance training is one of the most evidence-supported interventions available. Better5 makes it accessible to every resident, including those with limited mobility.
Cognitive engagement, mood, and social connection aren't "soft" outcomes — they're central to healthy aging. Better5's Mind pillar weaves mental engagement into movement, and creates the group energy that keeps residents coming back.
This is often the pillar that families notice first: "Dad seems happier. He's talking about the class."
Better5 is designed to run in common rooms, activity spaces, and small-group settings — no gym required. Residents follow along on screen while a staff member facilitates. Here's what that looks like.
Staff don't need to be fitness instructors. The on-screen instructor leads every session — staff are there to encourage, assist, and make sure everyone feels included.
A short facilitation guide for each class means any aide, recreation worker, or care staff member can run a great session from day one.
All sessions are 30 minutes or less — designed to fit the energy and focus of your residents without overextending them. Staff prep takes about 5 minutes. Here's a typical week in a Better5 facility.
| Day | Session | Pillar | Duration | Format |
|---|---|---|---|---|

"I didn't think I could do exercise anymore. But Better5 always has something I can manage, even on my hard days. I've surprised myself."
"It's the highlight of my week now. I come for the exercise but I stay for the other people. We all cheer each other on."
"My balance has improved so much my daughter noticed. She doesn't worry as much now. That means everything to me."
