Celebrating National B-Fit Day at Brookdale Senior Living

In an inspiring show of community engagement, Brookdale Senior Living is celebrating National Senior Health and Fitness Day with its inaugural National B-Fit Day. This nationwide event, taking place on May 28, 2025, at 10 a.m., is a unique opportunity for residents, families, and staff across Brookdale’s 647 communities to come together for a lively group exercise experience.

B-Fit, Brookdale's signature well-being program, is designed to promote enjoyable and accessible physical activities tailored to enhance overall health and foster connections among participants. Grounded in gerontological research, this initiative aims to elevate the quality of life for seniors by providing them with engaging opportunities to move and socialize.

The Importance of Movement for Seniors

As noted by Brookdale Gerontologist Christy Phillips, “Movement is medicine—especially when it's shared.” This philosophy underscores the essence of National B-Fit Day as a time for residents to celebrate their resilience and strength as a communal force. By highlighting the joy of movement and camaraderie, Brookdale aims to instill a sense of empowerment and well-being in its residents.

Through activities that emphasize fun and connectivity, Brookdale is dedicated to fostering a culture where physical wellness is not just a goal but a shared experience. Senior Vice-President of Resident and Family Engagement, Sara Terry, echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the multifaceted benefits of staying active. “We know that remaining physically engaged not only supports physical health but also has profound impacts on emotional and cognitive well-being.”
