“I've had so many things happen to me, health-wise, in my life before 60 that I'm in better shape now at 72 than I was at 50.”

“I say that if you can exercise and keep yourself mentally involved, and enjoy your family and the beautiful world around you, you are not going to think you’re aging. I don’t feel old.”

Allison D.
Group Fitness Supervisor

“I can't tell you how happy it makes me seeing Gerri in all the classes. The great thing about SilverSneakers is that you don't only have to go to the SilverSneakers classes, you can go to any class that's offered.”

“I love to be able to push myself. I take group groove. I take group fight. I take group core when I can. I take synergy. I take ride. I take R-30.”

Amanda
Gerri’s Daughter

“And she's in there with people who are literally half her age, and she's right there with them. And she would never have done that before having SilverSneakers in her life.”

Allison D.
Group Fitness Supervisor

“Seeing her dancing in our dance class, in our groove class, it's beautiful. It's a beautiful thing.”

“I switched to Aetna for SilverSneakers. I think I was with something that they dropped the SilverSneakers and I said, uh-uh, I'm switching. And I looked until I found a plan that had my doctors and SilverSneakers. It was Aetna.”

“So, one of the reasons why my mom decided to become an instructor with SilverSneakers was in order to help motivate my dad to keep going.”

“When I'm teaching a class and I see my husband smiling, having fun, interacting with his fellow classmates I just have such joy.”

Peter Y.
Gerri’s Husband

“I think it's extremely important. I look at SilverSneakers as a wonderful tool to get seniors, or anybody for that matter, up and moving again. That's critical. You gotta do it.”

Patty
SilverSneakers Member

“The exercises that she teaches us with the band, using the ball, and also using the weights. She's very good at it. I just enjoy everything about Gerri and her husband, Peter.”

Ann

“And I like the fact that we can do these exercises at our own level.”

Gerri’s Daughter

“And they do ice cream socials. They do walks around the complex. They do a number of other social activities, and they look forward to those activities. And it's really brought my dad out of his shell too.”

Ann
SilverSneakers Member

“It's very nice that we all gather together, and we talk, and we get to know each other, and we feel like we're among friends.”

“You need goals as you age. You can't give up. I really like doing this. This is important. And I think when seniors see that someone is a senior and can do that, it motivates them further.”
