Benefits With Friends

With the joy that sparks from being together,  we can make each other happier and healthier. And it may even help us live longer. Social moments power our well-being and protect us from isolation and loneliness. This is why Grouper exists. 

We bring you together with people who share your passions-people who love bunko, bridge, bowling, line dancing, pickleball, and Zumba-just as much as you do. From the pool to the pool hall, the potential for feeling great is all around us. We can belong anywhere with anyone doing anything, and get the same life-enriching benefits*.

Like a pharmacy for social activity, we fill your prescriptions for friendship and fun, and make sure your health plan picks up the bill. There’s no catch. No side effects. You play, we pay. 

*Benefits may include improved mobility, cognition, mood, energy, memory and confidence {in your trumphing, cha-cha-ing and drinking skills-to name a few}.

Welcome to the Social Fitness Movement

Grouper is the leader (and instigator) of the social fitness movement. We believe in the benefits of having fun and staying active with friends so much, that we’re willing to pay people to do it.

Social Fitness is:

PHYSICAL

Physical inactivity has been identified as the fourth leading risk factor for global mortality. 

MENTAL

The more mental stimulation we get, the more likely we are to hold on to better brain-functioning, even as we age.

SOCIAL

Studies have shown, social connections are closely related to well-being and personal happiness. 

“I’ve made a number of friends just by being a member of these organizations. It’s impacted my overall life by giving me a purpose… I have something to look forward to every day.”
