Unfortunately my client Maryanne passed in 2021. I worked with her for 10 years.  She was 101. 

I was not able to get a testimonial from her but she taught me a lot.  She is a big reason why I like working with older clients. She made me understand more and more that EVERYONE needs fitness. and to be active.  She was dedicated to good posture and exercising so she could maintain her independence as well as the ability to walk almost daily in Central Park, and go out to dinners and events with her friends. 

When I first started working with her she walked with no assistance though she had a bone on bone hip without any cushioning in that joint.  It was inevitable that it would progress yet she knew it was still important to exercise that joint. 

Through no assistance, to a cane, then to a walker, she consistently trained twice a week up until her death. 

I will always have a special place in my heart for her,  the years I worked with her, and the special bond we created.
