How do you help your clients achieve their fitness goals?
Young at Heart Fitness (YAHF) meets the need for reliable, trustworthy, and credible fitness specialists that focus on the senior population. We help our clients become more active and motivated to get moving, whether they are deconditioned, recently discharged from physical therapy, occupational therapy or a hospital setting, or are experiencing a decline in strength, balance or mobility. Our trainers provide the personal care and accountability that seniors need to continue their home exercise programs.
What’s the secret to getting the body of your dreams?
We are focused on helping our clients stay fit and independent to improve their quality of life.
What do you love most about your job?
Getting to see clients improve their function so they can enjoy their families, grandchildren, and stay independent. Our hope is that we can educate clients, share our love of fitness, and empower them to achieve their fitness goals. We truly believe it is never too late to start exercising or reach your fitness potential. With the lifespan of the adult population increasing, it is YAHF’s mission to see these years lived to their full potential to maximize quality of life.
What inspired you to start your own business?
After working as a physical therapist for 25 years with the senior adult population in the home health industry I saw a huge need to provide a home service for those needing ongoing exercise guidance and assistance after being discharged from therapy. As a physical therapist there were many times families/patients would ask me to continue working (private pay) with their loved one after discharge because they knew they would not continue exercising on their own. I would have to decline, but I always wished I had someone I could refer them to that I could trust to do a safe and effective job. This is why I started YAHF!
Why should our clients choose you?
Our personal trainers all have medical backgrounds as physical therapists and have worked extensively with the mature adult population. Each of us has a passion and heart for helping people stay active, fit and independent.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
No, we do not offer online or remote services because we cannot provide the visual, verbal or occasional hands on touch to provide a safe and effective workout without being in the immediate presence of the client.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
We follow all CDC guidelines and safety precautions. We disinfect all equipment/supplies brought to the client's home before and after it is used.
AFIT- Adult functional independence test
All clients will receive an initial physical assessment using the Adult Functional Independence Test (AFIT) to determine strengths, weaknesses, and fall risk. AFIT is a thorough evaluation of the 5 components of fitness: posture, flexibility, strength, balance, and endurance. Based on the results and goals of the client, the personal trainer will determine the recommended number of visits. This first visit typically runs 75 to 90 minutes in length.
