8 AM to 6 PM
And your first workout
Marbles is more than a cutting-edge brain gym. It is a complete brain health ecosystem, and Searcy is where it was built.
Personalised brain and body workouts for adults aged 55 and over, addressing physical and cognitive ability together rather than one at a time.
Simultaneous cognitive and motor training. Thinking while moving is harder than either alone, and that is exactly why it works.
Advanced training technology in the room, and a coach beside you the whole time. Neither one on its own is the method.
Every program at Marbles is built on peer-reviewed research and proven methodology. Real science, real results.
Dual-task exercises that target brain and body health at once, drawn from published neuroscience and longevity research.
Advanced exergaming systems that make a hard cognitive workout feel like a game rather than a test.
Training the whole person, mind and body together, to protect cognitive ability rather than react to its loss.
Most members recognise themselves in one of these before they recognise a program.
Staying sharp and strong on purpose, rather than waiting to lose either.
Names that will not come, a room entered for a forgotten reason, a mind that tires early.
Physical therapy has ended, but going straight back to an ordinary gym feels like too big a step.
Parkinson’s, MCI, post-stroke recovery and similar, trained for with care rather than avoided.
Members rarely describe the results as fitness. They describe them as ordinary life getting easier.
Balance and coordination that hold up on stairs, on kerbs, and on uneven ground.
Names, lists and directions coming back faster and staying longer.
Getting up from the floor, carrying shopping, lifting a grandchild without thinking about it.
Reacting sooner, in conversation and in traffic.
Doing the things that had quietly been dropped because they felt risky.
Staying in charge of your own days, which is what all of the above is really for.
Every one of them works the brain and the body together. Which one suits you is settled on your first visit, not before it.
The signature session, and the one almost everybody starts with. An hour that shows you what dual-task training actually feels like and which program fits.
Exercises that challenge the mind while the body is working. Harder than either on its own, which is the entire point.
For the gap after physical therapy ends. Somewhere to keep the progress going that is not an ordinary gym.
Targeted work for recall and mental clarity, for the days when names will not come and the mind tires early.
Supercharge your brain, think faster and better, and reduce your risk of cognitive decline while improving strength, balance and endurance.
It is the programme almost everybody begins with. A short, guided introduction to dual-task training that shows you what the method feels like before you commit to anything longer.
Reaction walls, cognitive screens and open floor space, laid out so a coach can see everybody at once. No mirrors, no queues for machines, and never anybody here you have to keep up with.
The first session is a workout, not a sales meeting. It is complimentary, it takes about an hour, and it ends with a clear answer about which program suits you.

Searcy is the headquarters of Marbles Brain + Body Fitness. If you are looking at opening a brain gym rather than joining one, this is the door.
Brain-body fitness combines cognitive exercises with physical movement to improve both mental sharpness and physical strength simultaneously. Our dual-task training challenges your brain while strengthening your body, leading to better balance, coordination, memory and overall quality of life.
We work with members who have various health conditions including Parkinson’s, MCI, dementia, post-stroke recovery and more. During your first workout we identify any considerations, and we can coordinate with your healthcare providers to ensure safe, effective training.
Three programmes run here, from small group sessions through to one to one coaching, and there are class passes if a membership is not what you want. The tour and the first workout are complimentary, so none of it applies until you have tried the method. Full pricing is on the programmes page.
Taken from the outcomes described in the studio’s published press feature, rather than written by us.
The tour and the first workout are complimentary. Nothing to bring, nothing to pay, and no commitment afterwards.
