Calumet Park, IL

linktr.ee/bodypartsfitness

    • Mission

    BSF aims to inspire senior citizens to become physically active! By engaging in safe and enjoyable exercise on a regular basis, older people can slow down or even reverse many of the declines typically associated with the aging process. BSF Objective: The goal is to offer our services to as many seniors as possible at minimal or no cost!

    About Us

    In 1991 Robert Brantley and Dr. Cecilia

    Brantley, Certified Fitness Professional/

    Aging Specialists with business backgrounds,

    started BodyParts Fitness LTD to

    provide a wide range of health & fitness

    programs for children and adults-

    including senior citizens-throughout Chicago's

    underrepresented neighborhoods. The Brantleys

    developed specially targeted, safe

    exercise programs for their older

    clients, including those with disabilities.

    Over the years, the Brantleys gained a

    citywide reputation as outstanding

    motivators of older people and received

    numerous contracts-from the Chicago

    Department of Aging, United Charities,

    Lifelink Corporation & others-to

    administer exercise programs oriented

    toward the elderly at senior centers,

    retirement residences, churches,

    hospitals, and other venues.

    Because the demand for their senior

    fitness classes were so great, in 2000

    the Brantleys established BodyParts

    Senior Fitness Foundation (BSF), in

    order to expand their outreach and

    offer their popular classes too many

    more seniors at little or no cost.
