EXPERIENCE
MPR Med Exercise is more than just a fitness programβ€”it is a movement for older adult empowerment. We stand apart by offering medically informed, easy-to-access digital fitness solutions designed to help older adults overcome both physical limitations and the societal barriers of ageism.

Our Story

The Beginning

In 2013, Mike's father, a 63-year-old US veteran, underwent ankle replacement surgery, requiring lengthy recovery and rehabilitation. After physical therapy, he was unsure about engaging in physical activities, so Mike devised a fitness program to help his father regain confidence and mobility.

The Evolution

The program successfully boosted his father's confidence, enabling him to enjoy hobbies like attending sporting events and golfing. This initiative inspired the creation of the MPR Senior Med Exercise Program, which also aided his father's knee replacement recovery in 2018.

Our Core Values

At MPR Med Exercise, our values guide everything we do. Through Empowerment, we give older adults the tools to take charge of their health, reclaim their independence, and thrive in all aspects of life. Our commitment to Independence shapes our programs, designed to maintain autonomy and encourage both physical and emotional self-sufficiency. We uphold Dignity by preserving and promoting the value and contributions of older adults to society. Our approach to Health & Wellness is holistic, combining physical fitness with mental and emotional well-being. We build Community by fostering a supportive environment where older adults share experiences, build connections, and find strength in their journey. Through Advocacy, we actively stand against ageism and champion the respect and inclusion of older adults in all facets of life.
