Gymn with Equipment

Full workouts at any level.

Two complete Fitness Centers, with the support to stay active and help you meet your targets.

A great way to kickstart your La Vida Llena day is a morning or afternoon workout at one of our two fitness centers. With a certified trainer and state-of-the-art equipment, our fitness centers provide a dynamic and supportive environment for working out on your own or with friends. Each resident can have a personalized fitness program designed at no additional cost. 

Classes such as aerobics and Tai Chi are designed to provide maximum benefit while being very gentle on the joints. We offer fitness classes led by professional instructors Monday – Saturday, with multiple options on weekdays.

Residents Reading in the Library

The Libraries

There are three libraries at La Vida Llena, one in each building (Main Campus, Alta Vista, Nueva Vista.) Each library is run on the honor system, each resident self-checks out books, videos, magazines and newspapers. The libraries are also a great place to sit and read. Resident volunteer librarians periodically go through the inventory and donate books and items that are no longer being read, and process new donations into circulation.

There is also a dedicated Art Studio that serves as a gallery and has rotating fine arts displays. 

The workshop is dedicated to woodworking and repairs. Some activities in the past have included: Instrument repair, creating toys for kids, whittling, creating signs, etc.
