We will test you on key longevity markers such as mobility, grip strength, cardiovascular health, and identify the right program for your success. Then, you will do a session with us, and experience the exact method of training we would do with you on that program for your desired outcome.
the main line's premier functional longevity system....DO what fits
Discover a proven, evidence-based programmed approach designed to help people of any age overcome various chronic conditions. We are the only outcome-based fitness center in the Tri-State that specializes in helping seniors overcome Age-Related Muscle Loss (Sarcopenia). Many of our clients see us as their insurance policy to continuing, to move without pain and limitations, as they meet the endless opportunities in the years that await them.
Two Ways of Healing the Body
There are two (2) approaches to healing:
THE INSURANCE APPROACH: Focus on what's NOT working well and address it with pills or scalpels, with maybe some PT mixed in and hope for the best.
THE MIND-BODY-SPIRIT APPROACH: Find what's working well and fortify them. Since it's one body, the strong help the weak and the body's regenerative capacity kicks in.
At Main Line Total Fitness, we take the latter approach. Here, we use our own Do What Fits System, specialized equipment and nutrition with fitness to put the body in a pattern of pain-free movement that opens up a pathway to better fitness, better health & wellness. The result is feeling decades younger and adding years of quality life, regardless of physical condition.
Located in Haverford, PA, right next to The Haverford School, Main Line Total Fitness is a small, boutique fitness center designed for adults, regardless of fitness background, with any of a variety of chronic conditions and seniors want to regain control of their health. We are NOT a "gym" and once a body is over 50, NO PAIN, NO GAIN doesn't work. We teach people how to Listen to the Body instead and when they DO, the body's incredible power to regenerate itself kick-in. And for those who like discretion, the Club you'll train in a private, premium facility that is capped at fewer than 10 members on site at any given time.
The Main Line Longevity protocol: start with your own private longevity assessment
During the Assessment, we will:

HOW TO GET STARTED
Step 1: Fill out the form. You'll get a NO COST consult with our certified Fitness Specialist.
Step 2: Based on the call, an invitation for your own Initial Longevity Assessment (ILA) may be made.
NOTE: Unlike a "gym" which takes anyone's money, we only take clients we think we can help. Our phone conversation can only give us a "hunch" on that and the ILA is used to confirm it.
Step 3: During ILA, we may find we can't help you and won't take your money. But you will know a lot more about your situation so you can be successful, even if not with us. Assuming the positive, we use your own evidence-based data to recommend a program guaranteed to be successful. Then, you'll start training one‑on‑one with a dedicated trainer who REALLY CARES about your success.
