Kind Words from Our Clients
“I thought weight training would exhaust me as a senior… but it has in fact energized me to ensure I keep active with exercise. My plan is to keep on improving in my muscle strength and stamina. I want to thank Body Form for their support and in making the shift to personal training a great experience that will likely add to my longevity and positive physical and mental health.”
Robert G.
“I am a 55 year old woman who has always been active. My health degraded because of inactivity (diabetes). The quality of my life was really poor. Just doing my job at work exhausted me and I had no energy left to do anything I enjoy. I am now entering my second year with Body Form and I look forward to even more gains in strength and endurance over the coming year. Thanks to Body Form, my world has expanded quite a bit, my quality of life is greatly increased and my health is vastly improved.”
Michelle G.
“I began seeing Body Form approximately 2 years ago and have had a very positive transformation. They tailored an exercise program geared to the equipment I could use and improving my overall strength. I got the blood sugar control I was looking for and the improved posture and pain reduction related to my arthritis. I also have improved range of motion. This has, along with all the physical benefits, lead to further improvements in my overall quality of life and even in my career than I could not have anticipated. My only regret is that I didn’t start sooner.”
Jeff S.
“At age 48, I found myself losing even more weight, and my lack of muscle and muscle-tone meant an ever-more-frequent series of nagging injuries; injuries that just would not clear up by themselves. After four months at Body Form, I am more fit now than I have ever been in my life. I have gained cardio endurance, strength in the extremities, stability in the core, and yes, even muscle size and definition. And we (and I do mean “we” — Body Form and I) have done this in a quiet, private, supportive atmosphere.”
Larry S.
“The customized fitness programs, convenient location and hours, reasonable price and a welcoming atmosphere have all added up to a huge difference in my ability to do physical things and enjoy life. The little aches and pains that I thought were just a normal part of getting older are gone. Body Form Fitness has worked for me like nothing else!”
Louise O.
“I’ve always known that the men in my family have been afflicted with a variety of health issues as they’ve aged, so I had good reason to be concerned as I aged passed 35. I first starting feeling pain in my right knee on long, hard bike rides or after a particularly demanding game of squash. My chiropractor was helping with the problem and introduced me to Body Form as part of the overall regiment to address these issues. Thanks to Body Form, I’m now in the best shape of my life. I look forward to aging gracefully and enjoying all that the coming years has to offer – to the fullest.”

Longevity is one of the greatest achievements of our modern era
“By the year 2030, the number of Americans over the age of 65 will grow to over 63 million. This group now constitutes the fastest growing segment of our population. For the first time in history, residents of high, middle, and low-income countries are likely to live to 60 years of age and beyond. Longevity is one of the greatest achievements of our modern era — the United Nations calls it one of the most significant social transformations of the 21st century.
Improving quality of life and functional ability among older people must be geared toward helping them effectively manage chronic diseases and complex coexisting conditions. By their very nature, these conditions — heart disease, diabetes, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, to name a few — place a burden on individuals, their families, and health systems.”1
Exercise and aging: Good for mind and body
“If you’re an able-bodied senior citizen and can’t remember the last time you exercised, Dr. Jon LaPook says it may be time to jog your memory. A new medical study indicates that cardiovascular exercise for the elderly is beneficial for the brain as well as the heart.” 2 Learn more >
The global success story of longer lives is a worthless prize if the quality of those lives is compromised because of poor health and a loss of autonomy.
