The Comunidade365 team went to see the Senior Fit Club, an innovative initiative created by young entrepreneur Stivan Almeida, a native of São Nicolau. The club, located in Achada de Santo António, in the city of Praia, has been operating since 2022 and has already gained a solid base of around 20 regular practitioners.

Sénior Fit Club is mainly dedicated to functional training, focussing on injury prevention and physical rehabilitation for the elderly. This project, which started out as the winner of Startup Weekend 2023, arose from the entrepreneurial vision of Stivan Almeida, who identified a gap in the local market regarding specialised support for senior citizens. In addition, the club also offers complementary massage services, contributing to the general well-being of its members.

During the visit, Community365 was able to directly observe the positive impact of the project on the lives of its participants, realising that the activities promoted by the club not only improve the physical condition of the elderly, but also contribute significantly to their quality of life and social integration.

Stivan Almeida emphasised during the meeting that the main objective of the Senior Fit Club is "to provide active and healthy ageing, combating sedentary lifestyles and promoting the autonomy of its practitioners."

Comunidade365 presented its programme, which is in line with the objectives of the Senior Fit Club, especially in terms of encouraging healthy practices and social inclusion.
