Brief summary: The goal of this clinical trial is provide a scientific evaluation on the impact of the Jockey Club Get Fitness Campaign to improve the physical capacity and health condition of the community-dwelling older adults after the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants will take part in any of the four care models:

* a box of exercise equipment
* a box of exercise equipment with verbal briefing
* a box of exercise equipment and engage in the 8-week group-based exercise training
* receive the wonderful box of exercise equipment and engage in the 8-week group-based exercise training together with the 6-week behavioral modification

Participants with greater physical dependency, greater chronic disease burden or lower motivation for social engagement will take part in any of the three care models:

* a box of exercise equipment with verbal briefing
* a box of exercise equipment and engage in the 4-session home-based exercise training, together with the 6-week behavioral modification

Detailed description: This clinical trial is a mixed-method study which uses multi-level design to compare the effects of different program care models on behavioral and health-related outcomes among two different cohort of community-dwelling older adults. Exercise level and self-efficacy, physical capacity, social connectivity, geriatric symptoms, and health status are measured. A total of 1300 participants will be recruited. Outcome evaluation 8 weeks after intervention and 3 months after intervention will be included to allow the detection of immediate and long-term program benefits. In-depth individual and focus-group interviews will be conducted to solicit the participants' experience and perceived benefits of the program.
