for the Most Views in a Dance Fitness class on Facebook Live.
SilverSneakers was founded in 1992 as a fitness program designed
specifically for older adults to support mobility, cardiovascular
health, balance and more. It quickly became an outlet for social
interaction with a community of members, instructors, health plans
and fitness locations that have helped SilverSneakers grow to more
than 18 million eligible members nationwide. Over the past several
months, Tivity Health has hosted a series of activities and special
programs to celebrate SilverSneakers' rich history with its
members, clients, partners and colleagues.
"For 30 years, SilverSneakers has proven itself to be the
premiere place for senior fitness and social connection, and we're
constantly evolving to support healthier lifestyles for those 65
and older," said Richard Ashworth,
president and CEO of Tivity Health. "As we look ahead to the next
30 years, we will continue to find new ways to serve members and
achieve our vision of happier, healthier, more connected
lives. Our colleagues pursue this with a relentless passion,
and I appreciate their dedication to our mission, as well as our
clients, instructors and partners who support SilverSneakers."
On August 31, SilverSneakers
invited members, colleagues, clients, partners, and friends to
celebrate the brand's longevity and evolution by attempting a
Guinness World Record for the "most viewers of a dance fitness
lesson live stream on Facebook." To break the record, at least
1,500 viewers were needed to participate at one time in the
30-minute class. A testament to the tremendous dedication of
SilverSneakers members, Tivity Health set the new world record
within minutes of the class starting, and the final count for the
record was 3,075 concurrent viewers.
Earlier this year, the program asked its members to share their
favorite SilverSneakers memories, stories and experiences as
"Love Letters to SilverSneakers."
Nearly 400 people wrote letters sharing how the program transformed
their lives. Many of their stories, along with additional
information about the history of SilverSneakers and its
30th anniversary, can be found on
SilverSneakers30.com.
Today, SilverSneakers is offered through more than 70 Medicare
Advantage, Medicare Supplemental and group retiree plans at no
additional cost to the member. To check eligibility for
