PQB Athletic is an 8-week limited-registration strength event for adults 80+ who want to discover what they can achieve with properly programmed training.

Each participant completes 16 private 30-minute in-home sessions, twice weekly, with controlled, progressive, age-appropriate strength work built around individual ability. Everyone trains separately, but takes part in the same eight-week event, creating the group rate while keeping the training individualized.

Designed to support senior independence and aging in place, PQB Athletic offers families a proactive step toward longer independent living in Parksville and Qualicum Beach before increased home care or a retirement residence becomes necessary.

What To Expect

De-conditioned adults aged over 80 can improve roughly 22–26% strength in just eight weeks of progressive resistance training.

Twice-weekly training produces early neural gains in weeks 1–2 . Substantial strength gains, with improvements in standing, stairs, balance and confidence often appear within the first few weeks.

Frail adults around age 90 increased strength by an average of 174% after eight weeks of properly designed resistance training.

Reduce Fall Risk

We’ll work on your balance to keep you sturdy as you navigate obstacles on the floor, and step up stairs. Strength and balance training can support fall prevention by improving lower-body strength, coordination, stability and movement confidence.

We will work on the practical abilities involved in navigating obstacles, changing direction, stepping securely and using stairs.

When appropriate, we can also practise controlled floor transitions and techniques for getting up from the floor using positioning and leverage rather than relying on strength.
