Jody is experienced, motivated, and trained to understand the
fitness needs of adults 55+. Her nursing degree,
CPR-certification, and sincere caring attitude make her an
excellent senior fitness leader and motivator...whether leading
a group event, or working one-on-one as a seniors personal
trainer.
Jody says: "One of my favorite activities is working with 55+ people--the Baby
Boomers. I thoroughly enjoy my experiences with seniors who,
whether because of an illness, a handicap, or just normal changes
that aging brings on, are interested in making an effort to
maximize and improve their strength, balance, and mobility.
My experience with training seniors
began when I started the SilverSneakers classes at an Elkhart
gym. Later upon request I began including once or
twice-a-week in-home visits to seniors with different needs; and
more and more, this aspect of personal training is becoming my
favorite. It's such a pleasure to work with clients who
appreciate every moment of our time together!
