I wonder if the over 70 market is a growing market for fitness clubs? I was surprised and inspired to see the number of 70+ people working out when I accompanied my Mom to her gym the last few days. The gym, Personally Fit, in Rancho Bernardo also provides physical therapy. They have lots of bicycles, treadmills and weight machines and most of them were in use by older people when I was there.
I wish I had taken my camera so I could show you a picture of my Mom (I won’t reveal her age but she is over 70) working out on the weight machines. Exactly a year ago Mom had a small stroke. After she got home she had balance problems and had real difficulties being up and around. Her neighbor recommended the trainer at her gum and Mom started going. The change is amazing. Mom has gone out for a walk every day we have been here and at Shannon’s recent graduation she maneuvered steps and sat in the bleachers. The improvement in her mobility is inspiring.
Claudia, Mom’s personal trainer is great. She has her doing cardio vascular, strength, and balance training. Mom says that Claudia has several clients over 90.

Hi Marion,
I’m sorry to hear about your Mom’s stroke. My Dad had one a few years ago. He started working out and it helped him immensely. He also bought a pool table in an attempt to regain his fine motor skills. I hope all is well.
All the best,
Joe
P.S. Have a great summer!
