Aging is inevitable for all of us, but losing our strength, balance and mobility doesn’t have to be. However, traditional personal training is often not enough for maturing adults to reach their health goals and to live independently.
That’s where Graceful Aging can help.
Founder Sarah Brumfield and her staff of skilled trainers at Graceful Aging help many adults stay active and independent using in-home functional fitness training.
“Our training goes beyond traditional fitness programs that focus on gym workouts using machines for strength training only through isolated muscle movements,” says Sarah, a Certified Functional Aging Specialist and Certified Personal Trainer.
“We focus on strategic functional movement training that improves the way your body performs during real-life activities. Imagine climbing stairs without holding the railing, carrying groceries with confidence, getting up from the floor without assistance, and continuing to enjoy the activities you love. We train your body to move efficiently and safely through these activities, reducing the risk of injuries and falls.”
Sarah relates a story about a Graceful Aging client who told her during their initial consultation that she had gone to a personal trainer twice weekly for years. The client demonstrated “great isolated muscle strength,” Sarah says. “However, during our first session, our functional training style exposed many weakness-es she didn’t realize she had.”
“I’ve been doing it all wrong,” the client told Sarah. “I should’ve been doing functional fitness training rather than personal training.”
“I reassured her that she had not been doing anything wrong,” Sarah says. “But as we age, it’s imperative to train through functional movements that improve our strength and stability and prepare our bodies for safe, functional movements in everyday life.”
Functional fitness also boosts your flexibility and coordination, enhances your posture and gives you greater confidence in daily life.
Graceful Aging makes it easy to get started with flexible training options, including private in-home and small-group sessions and even virtual or Zoom sessions. “Every year we wait, strength and balance naturally decline. So, be proactive and invest in your health now,” Sarah says.
At Graceful Aging, growing older isn’t just about adding years to life—it’s about adding life to your years.
