Active adult communities have well-equipped exercise rooms and fitness centers that often host a range of fitness activities from Zumba classes, Pilates, Yoga, water aerobics and low-impact aerobics among other things. Fitness classes and exercise rooms help people living in these communities stay healthy.
Sports
Age-restricted communities usually have a number of lower-impact sporting activities that help people living there stay as healthy and as fit as possible. Sporting activities like basketball, tennis, table tennis and softball, bocce ball, pickleball as well as bowling and croquet are often available.
Arts and Hobbies
Many active adult communities have designated art studios. The communities ensure that creating exciting new objects is an integral part of adults living there. They also make sure people with hobbies that require constant tinkering, dedication, and a place to work on their hobbies are all made available for them.
Special Interest Groups and Clubs
Active adult communities bring like-minded people together and offer them a variety of groups and clubs geared toward individual interests and socializing. Social groups and special interest groups give residents a chance to meet regularly, discuss topics that interest them, socialize and plan events that will benefit them.
Cards and Games
Almost all active adult communities have specific amenity locations used for games like Scrabble, bunko, dominoes or chess. A game like bingo is perfect for residents of these communities, especially when there is a large group included. Other activities like trivia nights or group video games are also great to exercise the mind and body.
