“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
At Get in Shape, Joep and his team of physiotherapists run a popular Senior Fit program, attracting 120—200 seniors who benefit from weekly circuit training sessions focused on strength and cardiovascular health.
Supported by the Dutch government’s initiative to promote seniors’ well—being, 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 high—quality, sleek, and the technology allows us to create highly effective programs catered to their needs.”
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 built—in interactive touchscreens, Joep can customize rehabilitation circuits that focus on flexibility, cardiovascular health, and strength—building.
These setups ensure members engage in exercises that are challenging yet appropriate, helping them achieve their goals safely.
Joep, a luxury travel influencer and fitness model, has high standards for the fitness equipment in his gym. With a passion for providing a premium experience, he was drawn to Intenza’s timeless design and user—friendly technology.
Intenza’s machines—including the Escalate Stairclimber, one of the only incline-capable stair climbers—provide a high—quality, luxurious look and feel.
As Joep describes it, “Intenza’s equipment enhances the atmosphere of our gym and motivates our members to keep coming back.”
Our solutions are built with longevity in mind, a critical factor in GET IN SHAPE’s mission to create an effective environment for rehabilitation and overall fitness. With Intenza, Joep offers a full range of accessible workouts for clients of all fitness levels, allowing everyone to progress safely.
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.
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 well—being, 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 long—term benefits, particularly for seniors seeking to maintain their strength and mobility. Here’s how rehabilitation can enhance the quality of life for seniors:
