I’m 74 and not enthusiastic about exercising, but know it’s for my own good.  Can you make it fun?  Would you recommend exercising on machines or taking exercise classes?

You’re not alone!!  Many people aren’t enthusiastic about exercising, but one thing we all know is that exercise is good for us, both physically and mentally.  Exercise isn’t a luxury, it’s a NECESSITY and all the research points to it.  In fact, exercise is at the top of the list for the prevention of many diseases including heart disease, osteoporosis and certain types of cancer.  It relieves stress and makes you feel good about you!!

At Fit for Life, we not only make exercise fun, we assess your current fitness level and design an individual program to meet all your needs.  In addition, we offer 4 classes each week that are designed specifically for seniors as part of our SilverSneakers Program.  The classes are fun and rewarding!!

I recommend doing both machines and classes. Changing things up as much as possible helps prevent injury and works your muscles in many different planes of movement.

Call today to set up a time to tour our facility … you’ll be glad you did.

I feel better and healthier when I have a work-out regimen, but I go to the gym for 3 months and then stop.

Do you have tips to keep me motivated?

It’s important to remember that we are all responsible for finding the key to keeping ourselves motivated to exercise. What works for one may not work for another.

A gym can only provide the tools to help you. At Fit for Life we offer a Get Started Program - we assess your current fitness level and your fitness goals and design a program that meets all your needs. We offer one-on-one personal training for those who need even more motivation - the personal trainer encourages you to come out of your comfort zone and do things you would not imagine you can do. And, we also offer group classes as another avenue to keep you interested.

Our team will work with you to find the best solution to keeping you motivated to fulfill your promise to yourself.
