Under the expert guidance of our full-time Directors of Fitness, this innovative technology bridges cognitive training with physical movement. Discover how our residents utilize SMARTfit™ to sharpen executive function, improve balance, and maintain the vibrant independence they deserve.
At Grand Living, we deliver an extraordinary environment where your physical, mental, and social well-being are nurtured with the utmost care. This dedication is exactly why every Grand Living community features SMARTfit™ gamified dual-task training. If you haven’t yet integrated this incredible resource into your wellness routine, it is the perfect time to discover how it can elevate your vitality and healthspan.
In recent years, neuroscience has proven that it is entirely possible to grow both your cognitive competence and your physical strength as you age. Science also demonstrates that training your brain and body together produces faster, more sustainable results when it comes to staying steady on your feet, reducing fall risk, and remaining deeply engaged in the hobbies and passions you enjoy most.
Driven by Expert, Personalized Care
What truly sets the Grand Living health and wellness experience apart is the exceptional, personalized attention behind it. You never have to navigate your fitness journey alone.
Our SMARTfit™ programs are led under the expert, direct supervision of our full-time Directors of Fitness. This highly personalized approach to movement ensures that every program is customized to your unique pace and baseline abilities. Whether you are looking to maintain your physical edge, recovering from a setback, or proactively managing a cognitive-motor condition, our full-time fitness teams scale the programming so it is safe, highly effective, and deeply empowering.
Why Dual-Task Training Benefits Mind and Body
Traditional exercise often separates mental exercise from physical movement. SMARTfit™ changes the game by requiring your brain to think, plan, and react while your body is actively moving—an engaging and rewarding achievement that creates FIRST CLASS HAPPINESS® for our residents.
-
Sharper Cognitive & Memory Skills: Drills stimulate your neural pathways to boost executive functioning—improving your attention span, working memory, processing speed, and daily problem-solving skills.
-
Enhanced Balance & Motor Skills: By challenging your vestibular control and hand-foot-eye coordination simultaneously, dual-tasking transfers directly to real-life performance. This rapid improvement in motor coordination is one of our most effective tools for real-world fall prevention.
-
Proven Support for Parkinson’s Disease: This specific dual-task approach is highly beneficial for individuals navigating Parkinson’s disease. Clinical studies show remarkable improvements in physical mobility and functional independence, with participants frequently noting that the “mental fog” has lifted.
Maximizing Long-Term Healthspan & Independence
Beyond immediate improvements in balance and memory, regular engagement with SMARTfit™ dual-task training serves as a foundational pillar for extending your overall healthspan—the period of life spent in good health and free from chronic disease. By consistently challenging the brain and body to communicate under pressure, residents build what neuroscientists call cognitive reserve. This structural resilience allows the brain to better cope with age-related changes, effectively delaying decline and keeping you sharp, agile, and self-reliant for years to come.
Furthermore, the physical adaptations gained from these interactive sessions directly translate to greater daily stamina and effortless functional movement. Whether your goal is navigating a flight of stairs with absolute confidence, carrying your own packages, or enjoying a brisk walk without fatigue, this dual-training system bridges the gap between traditional gym workouts and real-world physical performance. It provides a proactive, science-backed safety net that gives our residents the ultimate freedom: the ability to live life entirely on their own terms.
“If we can delay the onset of dementia by just four years, it is predicted that we will cut the number of cases in the United States in half.” — Dr. Rob Winningham, PhD, Neuroscientist & Brain Health Expert
