Health with personality.

There are lots of wellness programs out there—what makes ours so special? Well, we believe a good workout is just the beginning of your wellness journey, and that a people-focused, holistic approach to health can do wonders for the body. We provide plenty of opportunities for you to improve along all six dimensions of wellness (physical, intellectual, emotional, vocational, spiritual, and social) without even having to leave campus. Plus, as your physical needs change over time, we’ll be right here to support and care for you in every step of your journey.

Social wellness: Our active events calendar and frequent community events will help you effortlessly maintain a robust social life.
Physical wellness: Our first-rate Fitness and Aquatic Center, featuring a variety of exercise classes such as aqua aerobics and tai chi as well as spa-style amenities, assists in keeping you physically well and feeling relaxed and pampered—spa day, anyone?
Vocational and intellectual wellness: Our vast array of hobby and discussion groups put you on the fast track to finding good friends.
Spiritual and emotional wellness: Although everyone’s journeys are different, we do our best to provide a calm, grounding environment. Whether you prefer meditation classes, a mindful walk through the picturesque Elizabeth Caruthers Park, or a peaceful stroll next to the Willamette River, there are plenty of ways to unwind and find some peace of mind.

Fitness fanatics, dedicated mall walkers, barely awake people who got dragged to a morning workout class by their friends, and everyone in between: our Fitness Center is for you. We offer state-of-the-art equipment, a plethora of exercise classes for all ability levels, and an indoor pool for a variety of activities. Some ways our residents love to stay moving include:

• Personal training and exercise plans designed to perfectly suit your needs
• Strength training equipment specially designed for older adults
• Stationary exercise bicycles
• Treadmills
• Seated elliptical trainers
• Handheld free weights
• Stability balls and other balance enhancers

At Mirabella Portland, the question you’ll be asking isn’t how to fill your time, but where to find time to rest before your next event! You could start your morning with a workout class, then engross yourself in a seminar about a topic you find fascinating. Afterwards, you might head to book club to catch up with friends and find yourself at happy hour for an evening of lively banter.

Ready to jump in? Taking a class at our Fitness Center can be a great place to start. Some fun and engaging options we offer include:

Aqua Aerobics: This water exercise program is popular with just about all of our residents for a reason. Not only is it a gentle yet dynamic workout, but it’s also a great way to recover from certain injuries and surgeries.
Tai Chi: A traditional form of exercise that helps the mind and body work in concert. It’s also excellent for improving balance.
Stretch and Tone: A gentle, fun workout meant to increase flexibility, mobility, and strength.
Core Strength: Feel the burn with this abdomen-strengthening workout.
Circuit Training: Enjoy a full-body workout with this guided course through our specially designed weights circuit.

If one-on-one learning is more your speed, you’ll love our personalized fitness instruction, with exercise plans created just for you that can accommodate a wide range of abilities. We also offer more social groups, such as water volleyball tournaments. (Yes, it still counts as a workout even if you’re having so much fun you forget you’re exercising!)

And for the go-getters out there who are looking for even more options: many of our residents are also members of the local Multnomah Athletic Club, which opens up even more opportunities for fitness fun.
