Gao, that depends upon whether there is a need in your area.

I am Silver Sneakers certified, own a fitness studio, however, there is no need in my area. It's unfortunate because the only way to provide the service is to work for another gym

I feel a bit disappointed about this, however, Healthways calls the shots.

Perhaps there will be a need in your area soon.

Best.

Thanks Joanne for responding to all of my questions! I believe there is a great demand for it here, unfortunately no one offers it anymore. A local gym here, before it shut down, used to offer it and a lot of people participated and loved it! There's just not a lot of people supporting it because it's such a small town :(

Crazy how the seniors loved it, but not a lot of the younger adults support it or care about it. Most are into bodybuilding and leave the older population hanging.

Thank you Gao. Wish you the best. Onwards and and upwards.
