Wellness Center


For many Kendal at Lexington residents, the Fitness & Wellness Center offers opportunities to take classes, swim laps and workout on state-of-the-art equipment.

Pathways for Wellness


The Fitness and Wellness Center also aims to have a positive effect on residents’ health and wellness. A primary goal for the department is to provide opportunities for residents to live actively and independently for as long as possible.

To achieve this goal, the department provides well-rounded programs designed around six components:

  • Aerobic fitness
  • Strength training
  • Balance training
  • Flexibility and mobility
  • Mind and body
  • Overall wellness

Fitness Center and Pool


The Fitness Center has an exercise classroom; a fitness room with exercise machines and an array of equipment; massage studio; and changing rooms, lockers, showers, and restrooms. Large windows allow in natural light and views of the beautiful campus, which enhances the health benefits.

The indoor pool (50-by-25 feet in size) has a depth-sloping ramp to ease entry. Whether to swim laps, exercise in place or simply relax with a float, the heated water restores body and soul.

In addition to top-flight facilities, fitness staff provide the extra push to help residents maintain a fitness routine. Through more than 30 classes a week, personal training and friendly encouragement, Kendal’s fitness professionals share residents’ goals to promote well-being.
