This time, the celebrations will take place in Oceanside from 11:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., at the brand new NIFTYafterFIFTY® located at 3861 Mission Ave., Suite B25; Telephone: 855-BE-NIFTY (855-236-4389).

NIFTYafterFIFTY® fitness centers and programs have been designed specifically for individuals who are 50 and older. Designed, developed, and directed by Sheldon S. Zinberg, M.D., the NIFTYafterFIFTY® team of physical therapists, fitness coaches, and clinicians tailor each person’s program according to the individual’s physical, mental, and medical condition. The goal is to improve muscle strength and power, reaction time, balance, endurance, and mental skills or program participants.

Dr. Zinberg points out that “medical research shows that starting at age 40 our strength decreases by as much as 1% every year. From age 35, every year we lose almost 1% of our ability to remember. And by age 50, this progressive loss of physical and mental fitness can threaten our future independence. NIFTYafterFIFTY® can help individuals delay, prevent and even reverse many of these changes.”

NIFTYafterFIFTY® facilities also feature Power-Plate®, a revolutionary machine that improves muscle strength, bone density, and flexibility with whole body vibration. Program participants receive an individually pre-programmed key that tells each machine exactly what workout program to use. Because equilibrium and fall prevention are so critical to senior health and longevity, NIFTYafterFIFTY® also provides a variety of special classes to further enhance balance, flexibility, and mobility for seniors.
“We are always seeking innovative programs and new approaches that promote a sense of ownership between Tri-City Healthcare District, Tri-City Medical Center and the community,” said Casey Fatch, interim CEO at Tri-City Medical Center, adding that “we’re truly excited to introduce a clinically-supervised full-body training program for mature adults, created by physicians, to our North County community.”
Fatch also noted that the NIFTYafterFIFTY® affiliation demonstrates the medical center and healthcare district’s ongoing commitment to improving the health and well-being of the citizens it serves.
