How Get in Shape and Intenza Fitness Transforms Senior Rehab and Wellness Programs

“Get in Shape is a welcoming gym where everyone, from young adults to seniors with health concerns, can achieve their fitness goals. Intenza’s recent equipment upgrade has made our gym even better.”—Thomas, Get In Shape member.

Rehabilitation—focused fitness is gaining ground, especially among senior communities where safe, supportive, and enjoyable exercise is key to improving health and vitality. 
Intenza’s fitness machines stand out in this arena, especially for facilities like GET IN SHAPE, a premium boutique gym in the Netherlands dedicated to helping members of all ages—particularly seniors—achieve their wellness goals.  
We recently caught up with Joep, the gym’s owner, who has been making strides in senior rehabilitation programs with the help of Intenza’s equipment.  
Here’s how Intenza is transforming senior wellness at GET IN SHAPE

A New Standard in Senior Rehab with Intenza Equipment

At Get in Shape, Joep and his team of physiotherapists run a popular Senior Fit program, attracting 120200 seniors who benefit from weekly circuit training sessions focused on strength and cardiovascular health.  
Supported by the Dutch government’s initiative to promote seniors’ wellbeing, these programs help older adults build strength, recover from injuries, and maintain their health with a social component that encourages lasting relationships among members. 
Joep’s choice of Intenza equipment stems from its unique design and advanced rehabilitation features.  
From the smooth, ergonomic movement Intenza’s cardio machines to our minimalist design that complements GET IN SHAPE’s luxury aesthetic, our equipment creates a seamless experience for senior members.  
“Our members love the way Intenza equipment looks and feels,” says Joep. “It’s highquality, sleek, and the technology allows us to create highly effective programs catered to their needs.” 

Supporting Safe, Effective Rehabilitation for All Ages

With Intenza, Joep and his physiotherapy team design workouts that support seniors in rebuilding strength and endurance, which is essential for overall mobility and health.  
Members like Sjaan, who attends Senior Fit three days a week, appreciate not only the positive health impact but also the inclusive community at GET IN SHAPE 
Sjaan shares, “I come here to stay vital and enjoy the social aspect with other athletes.  After an hour of exercise, I love having coffee and chatting with friends.” 
Using Intenza’s cardio machines with builtin interactive touchscreens, Joep can customize rehabilitation circuits that focus on flexibility, cardiovascular health, and strengthbuilding. 
These setups ensure members engage in exercises that are challenging yet appropriate, helping them achieve their goals safely.

Real—World Results from Members Like Sjaan

At GET IN SHAPE, the impact of Intenza’s equipment goes beyond physical health—it fosters a sense of belonging.  Members like Sjaan, who attends the Senior Fit program three days a week, value the positive health benefits as much as the inclusive community. 
Sjaan shares, “I exercise at GET IN SHAPE Ravenstein to stay vital.  I go 3 times a week during special hours reserved for seniors, under the guidance of a sports teacher.  I always look forward to it! After an hour of exercise, I get to enjoy coffee and chat with others. I’m always looking forward to it again.” 
For Joep, fostering this kind of connection among members is key.  Intenza’s equipment not only supports members’ fitness journeys but also creates a space where people of all fitness levels feel welcome and encouraged. 

Long—Term Benefits of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation

Investing in physical therapy and rehabilitation can have profound long—term health benefits, especially for seniors.  Regular participation in tailored rehab programs helps individuals maintain muscle strength, flexibility, and cardiovascular health.  
These benefits contribute to increased mobility and decreased risk of falls and injuries, allowing seniors to enjoy an active and independent lifestyle.  
At GET IN SHAPE, Joep’s clients have reported improvements in balance, stamina, and overall wellbeing, showcasing the importance of rehabilitation for sustained quality of life. 
Beyond the physical advantages, rehabilitation has significant mental health benefits, particularly for seniors. Programs like Senior Fit provide an opportunity for social interaction and mental engagement, both of which are essential for cognitive health.  
The sense of community and purpose that arises from consistent exercise routines, supported by Intenza’s equipment, helps participants feel motivated, connected, and empowered to reach their fitness goals. 
When combined, physical therapy and rehabilitation programs have the power to transform lives, offering longevity, vitality, and improved quality of life.  
They offer a wide range of longterm benefits, particularly for seniors seeking to maintain their strength and mobility.  Here’s how rehabilitation can enhance the quality of life for seniors: 
Improved Mobility and Strength 
Rehabilitation programs focus on rebuilding muscle strength and improving flexibility, which are crucial for maintaining mobility.  
For seniors, this translates to a lower risk of falls, enhanced balance, and the ability to perform daily tasks with greater ease.  Using Intenza’s advanced cardio equipment, like the Escalate, which features an incline for varying resistance levels, participants can safely work on regaining strength in a controlled, lowimpact environment. 
Mental Health and Social Engagement
Beyond the physical benefits, rehabilitation offers profound mental health advantages.  Programs like Senior Fit not only help seniors stay active but also provide valuable social interactions.  Regular exercise can boost mood, reduce stress, and combat feelings of isolation.  
The social aspect at GET IN SHAPE, where seniors can enjoy coffee and conversation after workouts, enhances the overall experience, making it enjoyable and mentally stimulating. 
INCREASED LONGEVITY AND VITALITY 
With regular participation in rehabilitation programs, seniors can look forward to improved longterm health outcomes.  
Studies show that maintaining physical activity later in life helps extend life expectancy and contributes to a more vibrant, independent lifestyle.  
Intenza’s fitness equipment, with its smooth, jointfriendly movements, ensures that seniors can continue their fitness journey without the strain or risk of injury, promoting longevity.
