Bingocize®

Bingocize® is a 10-week, evidence-based health promotion program approved through The National Council on Aging (NCOA). Bingocize® combines exercise and health information with the familiar game of Bingo, which is a great and fun way to get seniors and those with disabilities moving and socializing.  It’s meant to be played twice a week on nonconsecutive days. Each session usually lasts 45-60 minutes. We have various “curriculum” workshops such as Exercise Only, Falls Prevention, and Nutrition. Class are low impact, and accommodations can be made depending on the physical and cognitive ability levels of your particular group of Bingocizers.

The overall goals of Bingocize® are to help older adults and those with disabilities:

  • Improve and/or maintain mobility and independence
  • Learn and use health information focused on falls reduction, improved nutrition, and other health-related behaviors
  • Engage in social settings
