Kind Words from Our Clients
“I have been going to Body Form Fitness for almost 10 years. Somewhere in there I became a senior, and there is no doubt that Body Form Fitness is keeping me strong, healthy and mobile. The studio is beautiful, bright and spotlessly clean, with high-quality equipment that is well-maintained. The trainers are very knowledgeable and know how to guide you to exercise effectively without hurting yourself. I highly recommend Body Form Fitness.”
Louise O.
“Highly recommended. My program was tailored to my specific condition (broken hip) and Nick was a very careful and attentive trainer. After 10 short sessions I am able to walk again.”
John, 88 year old from Scarborough
“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 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.
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.
