GARDEN GROVE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nifty After Fifty, a fitness and wellness center that caters to mature adults, has received approval from the State of California Department of Corporations to offer and sell franchises.

Founded in 2006, Nifty After Fifty currently operates four centers in southern California, two in Los Angeles County and two in Orange County. The operation is based in Garden Grove, California.

"Ours is a business model that is changing the way mature adults are exercising and improving their overall health and wellbeing," said Dr. Sheldon Zinberg, a retired physician who is the founder of Nifty After Fifty. "Among niche gyms, the growth potential for senior fitness facilities is unparalleled. The demographic trends and lifestyle demands of an aging population are perfectly aligned to support a new model of fitness and wellness facilities. We have found that older adults simply want to work out with other older adults in a safe setting."

Nifty After Fifty offers members a comprehensive fitness facility designed exclusively for the mature adult. All fitness equipment, developed by Keiser, is air compressed to provide smooth workouts. All members receive personalized fitness instruction under clinical supervision.

Another element of Nifty After Fifty is the "Rewinding Your Minding" program, which provides a selected series of computer and non-computer based mental exercises designed to rejuvenate the ability to remember and to enhance problem solving.

One of the most popular features for older adults is the "Reviving Your Driving" program, which offers a state of the art driving simulator. Members are able to rekindle their driving reflexes in a safe environment using a computer based driving simulator called the Virtual Driver. It provides numerous practice sessions that include coaching in almost every kind of traffic hazard and weather condition.

Other services offered at the centers include physical therapy and rehabilitation and social networking (acquainting and dating services, dance nights, makeover nights, health care lectures, movie nights, book club nights, etc), a med-spa for non-surgical facial rejuvenation and body contouring and a nutritional guidance and weight control program.
