Perfect form is overrated. Fun, consistency, and variation are what really help you stay strong, mobile, and independent. Here’s why—and how Jim’s Gym can help.

Jim’s Gym was created for people over 55 who want to move more, feel more capable, and keep doing the things they enjoy. The Fitness MOT exists to bridge the gap between knowing activity matters and knowing how to get started in a way that feels realistic and sustainable.

Staying active after 55 isn’t just about exercise—it’s about connection. Research from the NHS, WHO, and Harvard’s 85-year happiness study shows that strong social ties improve long-term health, mobility, and motivation.

Ever been told that “bad posture” or a “weak core” is the main cause of back pain? Modern research paints a more nuanced picture. While sitting up straight and working on your abs can be helpful, they’re not the magic cure we’ve been led to believe. In fact, factors like movement variety, stress levels, and daily habits often play a much bigger role in whether your back feels stiff or pain-free. Discover why a broader approach—beyond perfect posture and crunches—may be the real key to relief.

Exercise doesn’t have to feel like a chore. Discover how Jim’s Gym makes movement enjoyable, accessible, and impactful for anyone, no matter where you’re starting from.
