During the six months I have been attending Osteofitness sessions with Beverley Ikier at the Ikier Center , my strength and endurance has greatly improved. I began attending these sessions due to chronic leg pain and decreased ability to participate in activities with friends and family without the fear that I would not be able to keep up the pace.
And, too often, just did not want to expend that much energy. I saw my reflection one day bent forward … I had the dreaded sense I was “getting old” and as a baby-boomer felt there was more to life. So, with the advice of a friend about a dynamic leader of an exercise program, I began to attend. Beverley is dynamic, full of energy and the classes are done to the rhythm of exciting music and laughter. I now see that I am standing straight, my energy level is amazing and often when I participate in an activity, I say quietly … “thanks Beverley” because I am healthier and stronger for having known you and being in your class.
Warmly expressed, Gail Gauthier
“I went to see my doctor, who commented on my posture, and how good it was. Some medical students were observing, and my doctor used me as an example of good posture. I told her about the class I attended which was based on the Tufts research on balance and strengthening, and she was familiar with the study. She explained to her students about the study, and how it had been proven to have good results for 90 year olds.” Sherry L.
“I was on Osteopenia medication for two years with no change in bone density. After attending Osteofitness classes at the Ikier Center for several years, I no longer take medication and my bone density has increased so much that I am out of Osteopenia.” Susan R.
