The steps you take are important. They get you places, connect you with people, and keep you independent.

The fear of falling can be common as we get older. Even if you have never had a fall, the fact that more than 1 in 4 people age 65 or older falls each year, and that every second an older adult in the US has a fall, puts the real risk of falling in your mind.

The fear of falling can lead to a more sedentary life, avoiding activities such as walking, shopping, or taking part in social activities with friends and family. Even moving through your home may present a worry.

The good news is that there are simple ways to prevent falls.

This workshop will focus on promoting and maintaining better balance, coordination, and posture through a series of simple brain and muscle exercises. The goal of ongoing balance training is to teach your brain how to quickly activate the right muscles in your body at the right time to help you keep your balance; to reduce and even prevent falls, and most importantly to relieve the fear and worry of moving around.

Offered at NO COST due to underwriting from St. David’s Foundation AGING WELL Program.

Masks will be worn during class.

For years there have been major health concerns around heart disease and cancer, as well as other serious physical ailments. Today the number one fear around health is losing brain function as we age.

Physical exercise is not only important for your body’s health- it also helps your brain stay sharp!

Research by leading neuroscientists shows that the primary purpose of the brain is to control the movement of the body – and the best exercise for the brain is PHYSICAL exercise. In older adults, regular physical activity helps slow the usual loss of brain volume, which may help to prevent age-related memory loss and possibly lower the risk of dementia. There are clear differences in brain health in older adults who get regular exercise, compared with those who are more sedentary. These differences have consequences for thinking and reasoning as well as for memory.

This 4-week workshop includes simple movement exercises that will challenge both your body and your brain and make you smile…even laugh while doing it!

A great workshop whether you are an elite athlete or a couch potato! Everyone benefits from a body & brain boost!

Instructor: Vicki Parsons, Ballet Austin’s Butler Center for Dance & Fitness Director and Certified Brain Health Trainer and member of the Functional Aging Institute.

This is an opportunity for the Austin Fitness Professionals Community to come together and support one another as we navigate out of the chaos of the Pandemic. The economic devastation was real. The loss of members and clients equally difficult. So how do we support one another as we recover?

Come hangout with your people. This is a focus group & Meet-up for Austin Fitness Professionals and business owners to explore how to re-open, energize, engage, and acquire more clients.Our goal with this Meetup is to focus, collaborate and support one another, now and into the future.   

We will kick off with a networking opportunity over light snacks. Then discuss your concerns, challenges and issues. Alex Dzierbicki, owner of Woodward CrossFit and business advisor at Cultivate Advisors will offer actionable marketing solutions to your most pressing concerns. Followed by Ahmed AbouElezz, CEO of FITT Finder, who will briefly discuss trends within the industry and how it impacts your business going forward.

This is NOT a sales event. We want to create a community of Austin professionals that support one another, discover and implement solutions and become stronger together. Our hope is that this becomes a regular event.
