More Seniors Turn to The Silver&Fit Program During Medicare Open Enrollment for Broader Choices of Virtual Home Exercise and Fitness Solutions


SAN DIEGO, Nov. 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- With many gyms still closed, older adults across the nation are seeking solutions to help them stay fit at home through exercise and healthy living options. The Silver&Fit® program, available through participating Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement plans, offers eligible seniors exciting choices.

Older adults are seeking senior exercise and fitness options to help them stay healthy during COVID-19 and beyond.

"With nearly 10,000 Baby Boomers turning 65 every day in 2020, they are aging into Medicare during one of the worst pandemics in the nation's modern history," said George DeVries, chairman and CEO of American Specialty Health Incorporated (ASH), which launched the Silver&Fit program in 2007. "It's vital that Medicare programs offer diverse fitness solutions that not only help older adults stay fit at home, but help them stay socially engaged, optimistic and healthy. While the Silver&Fit program's traditional in-person gym access is still popular for those who feel comfortable going back to the gym, we have received an outpouring of positive feedback on our virtual home-based fitness alternatives. We're proud to be able to provide safe at-home options, and to hear from our members that we're hitting the mark."

The Silver&Fit program's virtual, online home-based options and gym-based options are designed to accommodate all levels of fitness and workout preferences. Features include:
