"It is wonderful that I've been able to attend the free Live 2 B Healthy® class at Parkplace for the last few years. I live very close by and I've made many friends there. It will be the first place I speak to when I decide I don't want to live alone anymore. I can't overstate how much the Live 2 B Healthy® class has done for me, I think it saved my life since it was so close and I need to exercise to stay strong and flexible!"

"Hi , just wanted to drop you a note to thank you for our exercise classes. They have changed my life. When I moved to Applewood, I could barely walk and every thing I did was painful. Now I am pain free and pretty strong. I’ve noticed how strong our whole class is getting, thanks to Sandy. I bet if you did those tests you used to, you’d be amazed @ the difference. Ann was fun but Sandy loves being” our drill instructor”. We love it too. Her entertainment is nutrition education🥰👍 Blessings,"

“At my age (83) your attention span becomes erratic. Most of these exercises were recommended by a therapist for home exercises. But after 5-6 minutes, other things seem to be more enjoyable, so the structured routine and companionship of this type of class really helps, both physically and mentally. I think the class provides a chance to challenge myself and constantly improve my physical condition. I have noticed a great improvement in my muscle tone. Over all I feel these sessions have been a great help for me.” 

“Exercise is very important to everyone and it is a great opportunity that we have a well-organized, fun exercise class with a trained professional teaching our L2BH class. Sul, our trainer is very knowledgeable and helps us understand the value of the motions we are doing. Being confident in my trainer gives me confidence that what I’m doing is worthwhile. Overall, I think and feel better, plus I move stronger!”

"During the seclusion of the Covid-19 pandemic Jena has truly been a lifesaver! In addition to the circumstances of the shutdown, I have been hobbling around in a therapy boot due to a broken ankle. Jena has been able to tailor the content of the online class to build on my strengths as well as give me specific suggestions of how I can address the areas of my body that have been affected by the injury. Her bright, optimistic attitude has encouraged me enormously during this recovery period, and I know that my body is healing more efficiently with her guidance. Thank you, Jena! And thank you, Live 2 B Healthy® for setting up the live classes during this stressful time for so many. "

Hi Kara! I am so excited to be able to participate in the Evergreen-Richardson exercise program offered by Live 2 B Healthy® which is now offered via "Streaming" technology. In the past, I have not been able to participate in your program; but currently, I am grateful to be getting a great workout in my own apartment! Socializing of any kind is great for mental health...just "seeing" and / or communicating with someone / others can be quite uplifting My hope is that Live 2 B Healthy® will be able to continue the "Streaming" opportunity when the social-distancing period in our nation is lifted. (You may use my picture which was taken this year just a few days after my 80th birthday.)

“I had contemplated for about 2 months if we should make a move to Westridge. Then I decided to attend the exercise class to see what it was about. I did and it was explained it was a Live 2 B Healthy® SilverSneakers class offering and I went from the class and signed the lease. That was my deciding factor.”

Marnie testifies: “It is important to exercise – I have a lot more stamina since I began doing it.” And at 103, we know Marnie must be doing something right!

“I am so happy Live 2 B Healthy® has come to the Tropics Mobile Home Park in Union City. Senior fitness is an important part of a happy and healthy lifestyle. It will be a great benefit to all our residents. We love our trainers. They are experts in guiding our seniors through the exercises. They are so patient and helpful. Thanks again for becoming part of our Tropics family. You are doing a terrific job!”

“This is the best class I have ever been in and it is due to our instructor, as well as the excellent exercise program itself. She explains everything… ways to do it, why we're doing it, what it does for us, and what muscles are worked. We can feel we are stretching and working parts of our bodies in a safe and healthy way. I went through PT last fall for weakened legs due to chemotherapy the year before, and I think what I've done in this class has made a greater improvement in my leg strength in 3-1/2 weeks, than my 6 or so sessions of physical therapy. “

"My goals are increased strength, flexibility and stamina and I'm confident about the outcome in a couple of months’ time. I like having the ability to control the intensity of each exercise so it is customized for me."

“Since I’ve been working out with Live 2 B Healthy®, my doctor has reduced my dosage on one medication, and taken me off of another. I have less pain, more energy, and am physically stronger. I feel much better about myself."

"The class has increased my shoulder strength and has made it easier to get up and move around on my own. I also enjoy the social aspect of the class. I get to interact with residents I otherwise wouldn’t. I look forward to the class."

I have attended every session of this program since it began at the Ecumen Oaks and Pines in Hutchinson. After a little more than two months I have improved strength, balance, flexibility, and coordination. My ability to rise from a chair has changed from being a struggle with several attempts to a single effort. Christa leads our group with clear directions and demonstrations as she exercises along with us. The entire hour is paced within our abilities and with her reminders that our individual performances are our program. Each of us is welcomed by name as we come and late arrivals smoothly assisted to join. We are praised and encouraged while we progress through each activity and individually thanked and given a high-five at the end. She also tells us she loves coming here and meeting with us and her radiant smile just beams. From my observations we work diligently throughout the session but at the same time we are enjoying ourselves a lot. I am amazed at the very marked progress each of have made with the three times a week sessions each lasting an hour. Our exercise periods always begin and end on time, something we and our families can count on. I offer this testimonial with gratitude and joy and have not been compensated in any way."

"I come to exercise class because I know that exercise is good for me. With my arthritis, if I don’t exercise at all, I do get more stiff, but with all my bone surgeries, I do need to be careful at which exercises I do and the personal trainer knows that. The exercise program is more fun to do as a group. I’ve enjoyed being an active part of this group.

"Increased flexibility. Helping to rebuild and keep muscle strength – particularly in back and arms. Social interaction with others we would not see if not for the exercise program. Our instructor makes it fun, and always a chance for a good laugh! Our doctors recommend we continue!"
