Healthy LIFEstyle

An important component of the LIFE community is the fitness and wellness program.

We believe that a healthy lifestyle leads to a greater sense of well-being as well as a happier life. Each community has a fitness center with state-of-the-art equipment, large-screen TVs, and sound systems to enhance workouts.

LIFE employs a full-time certified fitness staff to facilitate a wide variety of recreational activities and fitness challenges.

Individuals are invited to participate in sports and games focusing on fitness, mindfulness, and group recreational activities. Many enjoy walking on local beaches, biking, rollerblading, basketball, and golf. We have a lot of fun while getting (and staying) in shape!

LIFE’s Supported Independent Living (SIL) programs also offer nutrition and cooking classes to encourage healthy diets. Individuals frequently gather in the recreation centers to socialize and prepare meals together.

LIFE offers the largest and most successful Special Olympics program in the state.

With year-round training, LIFE competes in the Special Olympics Massachusetts soccer, track, tennis, swimming, golf, and bowling programs. All LIFE individuals are welcome to join this program led by LIFE’s Fitness Coaches in Hyannis, Mashpee, and Plymouth.

Recently the LIFE Force soccer team advanced to the national Special Olympics USA Games and won a bronze medal for Team Massachusetts after a series of playoffs in Florida, against other Special Olympics state teams.
