Build Strength for Life with Propelled Longevity: Burlington's 8-Week Bodyweight Strength & Mobility Program

Why Strength & Mobility Training for Longevity?

Benefits of Joining the Propelled Longevity Program

As we age, maintaining strength and mobility is essential for independence and quality of life. Adults can lose up to 50% of their muscle mass by age 80, with decline starting as early as the 40s. This muscle loss affects everyday activities—standing from a chair, climbing stairs, carrying groceries, and maintaining balance.



Bodyweight strength training and resistance band exercises provide the perfect solution. Unlike heavy weight lifting, this approach builds lean muscle tone while staying gentle on your joints, helping you develop functional strength that translates directly to real-world movements and lasting independence.

Strong Muscles, Healthy Joints, Better Balance

  • Build strength and flexibility simultaneously through unique "strength in length" training
  • Enhance joint mobility with continuous, flowing movements—no jumping, kneeling, or wrist loading
  • Improve balance and coordination to reduce fall risk and move with confidence

Bone Health & Long-Term Independence

  • Support bone density through weight-bearing bodyweight exercises
  • Develop functional strength for daily activities like stairs, lifting, and floor-to-standing movements
  • Maintain the physical capacity to stay active and independent for decades

Energized & Sustainable

  • Feel refreshed and strong after sessions—not depleted or exhausted
  • Small group environment (max 10 participants) with personalized attention from certified trainer Peri-Lynn Harris
  • Healthcare-integrated program at Burlington's Propel Active Health & Lifestyle

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is the Cost of the Propelled Longevity Program?

    The Propelled Runner Strength & Conditioning Program is an 8-week program. The cost for the full 8-weeks is $120+HST, which works out to be $15/class. If a spot is available, we do allow "drop-ins" at $25/class. 

  • Can Sessions Be Billed Through My Insurance?

    This program is classified as a "fitness" service. It therefore cannot be billed as a "healthcare" service. However, as a client of Propel Active Health & Lifestyle, you have access to our full range of healthcare/rehabilitation services if additional support is needed. One-on-one rehabilitation sessions are covered through (chiropractic/physiotherapy) insurance

  • What Equipment Do I Need?

    Nothing! All resistance bands are provided during class. Simply wear comfortable workout clothing and athletic shoes. We recommend bringing a water bottle. The program uses bodyweight exercises and resistance bands only—no heavy weights or complicated equipment.

  • Is This Program Right for My Fitness Level?

    Absolutely! This program is designed for active adults of all fitness levels. Every exercise includes modifications using standing, floor, or chair options. Whether you're returning to fitness or maintaining an active lifestyle, Peri-Lynn will guide you to the appropriate level of challenge. The program specifically avoids jumping, kneeling, and wrist loading, making it accessible and joint-friendly.

  • How Long is Each Session?

    Each class is 60 minutes long, providing ample time for a warm-up, full-body strength and mobility work, and proper cool-down.

  • What Makes This Different from Weight Lifting or Gym Classes?

    Propelled Longevity focuses on functional, longevity-focused training using your own bodyweight and resistance bands. Unlike traditional weight lifting, this approach builds lean muscle tone without joint stress. The emphasis is on sustainable strength, mobility, and movements that directly support independence and everyday activities. There's no jumping, kneeling, or wrist loading, and you'll leave feeling energized rather than exhausted.

  • Do We Offer One-On-One Fitness (Personal Training)?

    YES! If you prefer individualized attention, Peri-Lynn Harris offers personal training sessions. We offer 1-on-1 and 2-on-1 options.
