#4…HUR: Strength Training Solution for Older Adults.
70 is the new 50! There is no doubt about it – scientific evidence concludes that physical activity offers one of the greatest opportunities to extend years of active and independent life, reduce disability and improve the quality of life for older adults. While TeamPAR was showcasing our services at the Leading Age NJ yearly conference, we were introduced to another vendor that services senior living and active adult environments and saw value in their offerings. HUR equipment offers strength training solutions for active aging, senior living and rehabilitation.
HUR’s air resistance strength training equipment is specifically designed for older adults. It is safe, easy to use and effective at both low and high movement speeds. Older adults can start off with zero resistance and increase resistance by 1/4-pound increments. The lack of inertia makes the machines ideally suitable for people undergoing rehabilitation, as well as for those who are training for strength maintenance and strength building purposes. They can train harder with HUR with lower risk of injury.
Senior Living Physical Therapy & Wellness Program Benefits

- HUR lets therapists spend less time with set-up (and more time with actual rehab).
- HUR offers easier tracking, management, client evaluation and outcomes reporting with SmartTouch technology.
- HUR’s SmartTouch automation empowers older adults to gain and maintain independence.
Personal Wellness Benefits
- Older adults can build the muscle to stand, move, dance, work, play, think and be independent as long as possible.
- Older adults will increase stamina to pursue passions, maintain relationships, grow interests, build character and live life on one’s own terms and have an avenue back to wellness when an injury or illness occurs.
