When I started my business, I was all about group fitness however started to recognize that the forgotten group were those who did not fit that mold. Seems like everyone wants to work with the hard core, the elite and athletes and the average person gets lost in dust. These folks were hurting and did not feel like moving, which is exactly what they needed. Many felt “too old….to hurt….to heavy….to uncoordinated, etc…” and felt like they were in fishbowl with everyone watching and not feel welcomed while working out. So many group setting facilities do not adapt to the needs of this population. Even my friends over 50, I noticed were starting to “slow down” and becoming more sedentary. My motto is: “movement is medicine” and “do not let age or condition dictate what you can or cannot do.”
