Maureen Position

At age 89 years, this program has improved by leg strength, balance and memory. More important is to see the strength and determination of the others in the class. I am proud to be with them.

Dennis Position

Lisa’s class is so much fun that it makes you forget your difficulties. Her creativity makes you want to move.

Jeri Position

Empowered by Movement gave me confidence and joy. I went from a two-second balance to 55 seconds, haven’t fallen in over a year, and my memory now tests in the top 90% for my age group. Your work truly matters.

Sandy Position

This program makes movement with Parkinson’s fun and uplifting. The support and inspiration here are truly special.

Charlie Position

This class keeps my brain and muscles working together in a fun, supportive group. With such a great instructor, I’m doing things I never thought I would.

Diane Position

This class meets me where I am. It lets me honor my limits, keep moving, and feel real progress. The impact has been remarkable, and I’m so grateful.

Sandy Position

This is an amazing class. People show up every week even when they are struggling. There is no negativity, we show up even when our bodies are tired. The smiles are contagious.
