What our participants are saying
Osteofit participants from all across BC are benefiting from our innovative and scientifically designed program. Here are just a few comments from people who have made the program part of their lives.
"The instructor inspires me to do my best. She knows a lot about anatomy so we learn why we're doing the exercises, not just how to do them, and I like that."
Margaret Upton, Brock House Society, Vancouver
"Osteofit helps me manage my back pain. For men, it's all about doing what we have to do to enable us to do what we want to do. Osteofit makes dragon boating possible for me."
Baird McLean, False Creek Community Centre, Vancouver
"Before I started Osteofit, I could barely walk. Now I walk every day. Our instructor keeps the class light and fun and looks at our individual needs. I won't miss it unless something very urgent comes up."
Colleen Williamson, Sandpointe Adult Community, Kelowna
"My confidence level has increased and my overall well-being has improved. To continue was a no-brainer and the quality of the instruction just made the decision easy."
Jean Henderson, Ladner Leisure Centre, Delta
"I started Osteofit because I thought I could do the exercises. Our instructor modifies the exercises to accommodate individual problems. I've noticed the improvement in my flexibility and I have less stiffness. I look forward to going to class."
Diane Mahy, Douglas Community Centre, Vancouver
"I was diagnosed with osteoporosis when I was 59. I was very upset at the time and became quite frightened of exercise and fear that I would break something. I enquired about the class and was assured that I could drop out if I didn't like it. I'm still coming 4 years later!"
Jean Wightman, Winskill Aquatic and Fitness Centre, Delta
"Osteofit suits me because the instructor adapts the program for each person. The exercises don't do any damage and we learn about falls prevention and how to bend properly. We feel like we're plugged into a network so that we receive information about new treatments and developments more quickly than other people."
Barbara Swiebs, Douglas Community Centre, Vancouver
