Finishing a program is no small feat — so congratulations if you have! Don’t worry, the fun doesn’t stop there. After you complete a program, you have a few options:
Continue taking classes from the Explore page. Using the search functionality, you will be able to take classes in a one-off fashion based on your preferences. Preferences include: length of class, type of class and instructor. This is the choose-your-own-adventure option!
Start a new program. Once you complete a program, we can recommend another personalized program for you. Each subsequent program will increase in difficulty, helping you both maintain and challenge your current fitness level.

Bold is for older adults looking for safe and effective workouts designed just for them. If you’re 60+ and looking to restore your balance, strength or flexibility, Bold is for you. We offer programs customized for your age, strength and fitness abilities.
Our Bold trainers are experts in active aging and fall prevention, with diverse experience in personal training, yoga, Tai Chi, group fitness and exercise science. You can meet our trainers here.
Bold was founded to help older adults live vibrant lives full of the activities they love. Whether you’re keeping up with grandkids or hitting the road for that trip you’ve been dreaming of, Bold helps you get — and stay — stronger and more confident.
We’ve designed a unique fitness program rooted in the science of fall prevention, based on recommendations from the Center for Disease Control’s STEADI initiative, the National Council on Aging, USC’s Fall Prevention Center of Excellence, and more. 1 in 4 older adults fall every year, resulting in 3 million annual trips to emergency departments for treatment of fall-related injuries — but studies show that regular exercise and balance training, like Tai Chi, can reduce your risk of falls by up to 43%.
At Bold, we’ve built a team of trainers who are experts in active aging. We’ve created workouts that bring the best of personal training, group fitness, yoga, and Tai Chi together in at-home workouts designed to help you improve strength, flexibility, and balance, so you can live Bold and age gracefully.

All about balance, strength, and healthy aging
You can reach us via email at hello@agebold.com. Prefer to chat over the phone or text message? We’re available from 8:30 am–4:30 pm Pacific Time at 1-833-701-1545.
As we get older, falls become more likely. According to the CDC, “more than one out of four people 65 and older falls each year, and over 3 million are treated in emergency departments annually for fall injuries.” (via CDC) We always recommend chatting with your doctor about your risk factors, but certain things can make you more likely to fall, including having fallen once before, being on certain medications that make you dizzy, and not exercising.
Falls are tough to talk about, but the good news is that fitness and balance training can help significantly reduce your risk of falling. If you’re looking to increase your balance, strength, and mobility because you’ve got falls on your mind, you’re in the right place.
Check out a Bold Assessment today to see how you’re doing, and talk with a doctor about your personal health history.
The World Health Organization recommends about 150 minutes of physical activity each week for most adults, and the AARP has found that exercising 3+ hours each week can lead to a 39% reduction in falls — however, we recommend chatting with your doctor for a personal recommendation based on your age, health, overall fitness levels, and more.
Bold programs offer a customized set of classes each week. These classes focus on strength, flexibility, and balance. You’ll also have unlimited access to the Bold video library, so you can take your favorite classes whenever you’d like. Activities like walking or biking are a great complement to your Bold classes!
If you’ve fallen and can’t get up, please call 911 immediately. After any fall, always talk with your doctor.

Fitness helps older adults stay strong, active, and healthy so they can continue living the life they want, at any age.
While any consistent exercise routine can be beneficial for overall health, Bold focuses on exercises that help you improve strength, flexibility, and balance. Investing in strength and flexibility helps ensure that you can keep doing the things you love for longer, while balance training is a key element of fall prevention. Millions of older adults fall each year, but studies show that balance training — like Tai Chi — can reduce your risk of falls by up to 43%.
