What exercises help to increase muscle tone as we age?

Like you, I have not been back to the health club, nor do I think it will happen soon. I will be looking for a facility that operates classes in a wide-open gymnasium type place with high ceilings, plenty of room for spacing & good air flow. Unfortunately, with the high value of real estate here, those places have been replaced by smaller clubs, with tiny low-ceiling "studios" for classes.

Same here Sue.🤗
I do Silver Sneakers via Zoom (Humana Ins.) and they help.

I belong to a Planet Fitness where I work out (it's open 24 hrs four days/week and til 9PM the other three days). I work out on my own though there are trainers for a fee (initial session is free). Come to think of it, I think there are classes too.
Cost: $10/month plus a once a year fee of $39. If I were to describe its physical layout, it would be what you wrote verbatim.
On that account, I've continued to work out through COVID except for a period during which they were obliged to close.
I'm 76 and without this gym, I would definitely have lost tone and gained weight.
There are MANY branches throughout the country.
