LifeTrail helps older adults maintain their
maximum level of wellness - and independence.
Comprised of a series of ten outdoor Wellness Stations, LifeTrail provides enjoyable strengthening, flexibility and balance activities that address the major components of a well-rounded fitness program for active older adults. LifeTrail Wellness Stations can be installed along existing walking paths or in other outdoor settings to provide a variety of exercise options prior to, during, or after a normal walking routine. Each station features a sophisticated, appealing design and is constructed from highly durable, weatherproof materials that are virtually maintenance free.
Each station contains 3 sides -- two of which are activity panels. The third side can be customized to suit your needs -- either one of our standard informational panels or, for an additional cost, a wheelchair/ADA accessible activity, or create your own custom panel.
Researched and Designed by Experts
Extensive research went into the planning and design of LifeTrail. Each one of the ten Wellness Stations was conceptualized and designed in collaboration with gerontology, kinesiology and recreation experts from Penn State University. LifeTrail was rigorously field-tested through observation, individual interviews and focus groups of older adult participants.
Outstanding Warranty
You can buy LifeTrail with confidence. The galvanized steel posts and stainless steel hardware are backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty. The grab bars, steel activity equipment and plastic components have a Limited 10 Year Warranty. All moving parts are guaranteed with a Limited 5 Year Warranty.

Reaching Older Adults
According to the population reference bureau, by the year 2030, approximately four out of ten Americans will be age 50 or older. As people age, they are more susceptible to health challenges. But adults who remain active are able to keep their heart muscles strong, lower their blood pressure and enjoy better mental and emotional well-being.
"Since the trail was installed, I have noticed a lot of people using the stations. I asked one of the park patrons (Ted), what he thought of the LifeTrail. He said, 'We should have done this a long time ago.' By the way, Ted is in his eighties."
