Pursue whole-person wellness.

True whole-person wellness includes every part of who you are — mind, body and spirit — and your environment plays a key role. That’s why we offer myriad ways to move and strengthen your body, improve balance and flexibility, and practice meditation and mindfulness. Challenge your mind and sharpen your skills with lifelong learning programs, art classes, clubs and interest groups, volunteer opportunities, and so much more. Plus, while you’re busy exercising, learning and volunteering, you’ll make new friends and engage in stimulating conversations — all of which add to the rich, fulfilling life you’ll create at The Baldwin.

Fitness Center

Build strength, balance, and flexibility.

The Baldwin offers a well-equipped Fitness Center with a wellness specialist who will work with you to develop an individualized workout program using specialized cardio and strength-training equipment. You’ll also find a varied selection of group exercise classes to help you build strength and cardio fitness and maintain flexibility and balance. If you prefer exercising outdoors, you’ll appreciate the paved walking trails around our campus and our community’s walkable location.

AQUATIC CENTER

Fitness never felt so refreshing.

It’s always a balmy 85 degrees in The Baldwin’s Aquatic Center, where you can take a refreshing dip in the pool, swim laps, or join in an aqua-exercise class. And after a workout or other physical activity — or if you just want to relax — the whirlpool is the perfect way to soothe tired muscles.

MINDFULNESS

Nourish your mind and spirit.

Mindfulness is a practice of paying attention to what is happening in and around you while maintaining an attitude of curiosity, kindness, and compassion. And science is showing significant benefits for both physical and mental health — from improved immune function and decreased pain to increased happiness and life satisfaction. Each week, The Baldwin offers a variety of group classes that incorporate mindfulness practices including yoga, tai chi, and meditation. You’ll also find spiritual programs, interfaith services, and prayer groups like the popular Care, Share & Prayer group that welcomes residents of all faiths.
