No, we do not. SilverSneakers covers only up to $30 a month, which may be suitable for basic gym access or large group classes—not individual professional coaching.
With 50 years of exercise experience, including 15 years working with older adults, we offer one-on-one and semi-private coaching focused on balance, mobility, joint recovery, and safe functional movement.
Instead of a crowded gym or overfilled class where no one is watching your form, you get customized coaching designed to keep you strong, pain-free, and independent.
Many members are new to fitness. Our program helps beginners and those unfamiliar with gyms achieve results in a supportive community. Coaches provide ongoing guidance, adjust challenges as you progress, and modify workouts for injuries. Let your coach know of any injuries when you arrive. We also offer tailored training for neurological conditions like Parkinson's or post-surgery recovery.
Each session opens with an optional warm-up, which most members do, then moves into your assigned routine, guided by one of our coaches. We finish with a cool-down, where we often work on something specific — balance, stability, or whatever you need extra attention on. We'll also check in on how you're eating, your daily activity, and anything you've noticed in your body that we should address.
Yes! As a Certified Fitness Nutritionist, we offer personalized nutrition advice and meal plans tailored to your fitness goals. In addition, we provide recovery strategies to help you rest and recharge, ensuring you make steady progress while preventing burnout or injury.
For optimal results, we recommend training at least 3 times a week. Depending on your goals, your trainer will work with you to determine the best training frequency and intensity to help you reach your desired outcomes. We will also recommend what to do on days off.
At Body By Wally, we specialize in helping individuals with injuries or neurological conditions like strokes, Parkinson's, CMT, and fibromyalgia regain their strength and mobility. We start at your current level and build progress gradually, ensuring every session is safe and effective.
