Who We Are
Why Longevity Matters
The world is living longer, but not necessarily healthier. Millions of older adults spend their later years managing preventable declines in strength, mobility, and independence.
At Anew Fitness, we believe longevity is not simply living longer; it's maintaining the physical ability to enjoy life longer.
Through structured movement, strength training, balance work, and mobility exercises, we help seniors increase their healthspan: the years spent living independently and actively.
Why Movement Matters
Movement Is One of the Most Powerful Longevity Tools
Regular physical activity can reduce the risk of chronic disease and disability.
Falls remain one of the leading causes of injury among adults 65+.
Muscle loss accelerates with age, impacting independence and quality of life.
Strength and balance training help older adults maintain functional mobility and confidence.

Our Story
A Loss Gave Us a Purpose
Anew Fitness was born from a deeply personal experience in 2018. Frederick Griffith, our founder, watched his mother face an unimaginable struggle. What started as a minor toe injury quickly escalated to a life-alternating amputation due to financial constrictions and limited long-term care. At that moment of grief, Frederick found his purpose: to help seniors stay vibrant and connected.
What started as a personal mission has grown into a movement. And now, we help seniors embrace their bodies, challenge their limits, and step into a future filled with energy and independence.
Our Vision
A Future Where Every Senior Has the Opportunity to Live Longer, Stronger, and More Independently
A future where every older adult has access to programs that extend healthspan, preserve independence, and improve quality of life through movement.
Our Mission
Building a Preventive Fitness Ecosystem That Supports Healthier, Happier Senior Communities
To improve healthspan and independence through accessible, evidence-based fitness programs that help older adults move better, stay stronger, and age with confidence.
Vision for a healthier and brighter tomorrow

Online Class
Turn Up Thursday: Free Weekly Virtual Fitness for Seniors
AARP and Anew Fitness have partnered to launch "Turn Up Thursday," a free weekly online fitness class designed for seniors. Led by Anew Fitness Founder and CEO Frederick Griffith every Thursday at 10:30 AM CST, the virtual sessions focus on improving strength, balance, and mobility to help older adults nationwide stay active and independent from home.
Since partnering with Anew Fitness at Kinship, we have seen an increase in membership, mobility, and balance among our seniors. Partnering with Anew Fitness has been the best decision we've ever made.

Before joining Anew Fitness, getting out of bed was a struggle due to my arthritis. After a few weeks of chair yoga and strength training, I feel revitalized! My mobility has improved, and I can enjoy walks in my neighborhood again. The instructors are kind, and the classes are fun. I'm truly grateful for Anew Fitness.

Frederick Griffith was absolutely phenomenal! His strength, leadership, and encouragement made the class feel amazing. He explained everything thoroughly, meeting us at our fitness levels with patience and expertise. I wish I had a copy of his workout—he was that good! My body thanks him.
