We help seniors feel alive, fit & free -
at any age.

Alive, Fit & Free was founded by Vickie Aigner, who brings over 45 years of experience in senior health, fitness, and mental wellness. Through joyful, science-backed movement, upbeat music, and intentional mindfulness, AFF programs help people live fully - at any age.

We are not a generic fitness company that adapts adult programming for older adults. Every class we teach is purpose-built for the senior body and mind — taught by instructors who are certified, rigorously tested, and passionate about senior wellness.

Our two signature proprietary programs — neuro.up and energy.up — represent a category of senior fitness programming that does not exist anywhere else, and our full library of 30+ class types means every member of your community is served.

Our programs are powered by the
4 Pillars of Health that drive real, lasting wellness for seniors.
‍

Mental

Cognitive stimulation, memory exercises, cross-lateral movements, and dual-task brain challenges that build new neural pathways and enhance memory, focus, and executive function.

Emotional

Social connection, music, laughter, and shared joy that release serotonin, oxytocin, and dopamine — reducing anxiety, lifting mood, and building resilience.

Physical

Safe, research-informed movement patterns — balance, strength, coordination, cardiovascular health, and flexibility — to boost everyday independence and reduce injury risk.

Energetic

Breathwork, rhythmic shaking, meridian tapping, and energy-activating techniques that shift the nervous system from fight-or-flight to rest-and-restore.

The movement program that builds new brain connections.

neuro.up is a proprietary, evidence-based Alive, Fit & Free program designed to improve brain health, mental health, and physical health for those with Dementia, Alzheimer's Disease, and Parkinson's Disease - or those who want to proactively improve their brain health.

neuro.up integrates cross-lateral neuroplasticity training, Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation (RAS), laughter, breathwork, and multi-domain cognitive-physical challenges. Each session fires the brain's reward circuitry and creates new neural pathways — session after session.

‍• Three specialized tracks: Proactive Brain Health, Dementia & Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's
• Backed by the FINGER Study, Harvard, MGH research, and neuroplasticity science
• Builds neural pathways that improve mood, engagement, and cognitive function
• Improves balance, stability, and posture to reduce falls and support independence
• Generates measurable outcomes across cognitive, mental, and physical health that families and staff can see working in real time

Not a philosophy. A neurological fact.

Every class we teach is grounded in the science of how the brain and body respond to movement. AFF moves seniors in ways that build something real — new neural pathways, restored dopamine pathways, stronger motor circuits, and measurable cognitive and physical gains.

FINGER Study

Multi-domain lifestyle intervention slows cognitive decline by 31%.

Harvard/MGH

Exercise reduces stress hormones that shrink the hippocampus.

Neuroplasticity Research

Movement builds new neural pathways, even in aging brains.

Dopamine Science

Rhythmic movement stimulates dopamine production in the brain.
