Proper form and awareness of working muscles is stressed. Please note, this class will include work on your backs, sides, face down and hands and knees. Class will be taught in person and zoom by Carolyn Gregoire.No class 10/12

Osteofitness with Beverley Ikier and Kerri Powers - Osteofitness Summer Hybrid
Osteofitness™: Evidence-Based Strength for Your Bones, Balance, and IndependenceOsteofitness™ isn't just another exercise class — it's a research-backed, holistic program designed specifically to prevent and treat osteoporosis. Built on decades of data, including the groundbreaking work of Dr. Miriam Nelson ("Strong Women Stay Young"), Osteofitness™ follows the proven formula: strength training at least twice per week is essential to increase bone mineral density and reduce fracture risk. Anything less simply doesn't produce the physiological changes your bones need.Why It Works:
Strength training twice weekly has been shown in clinical studies to significantly improve bone density, especially in vulnerable sites like the hips, spine, and wrists — the most common locations for osteoporotic fractures.
Regular drills improve balance and coordination, key to fall prevention, which is critical since one fracture can lead to long-term loss of independence or even increase mortality risk.
Guided by certified trainers with expertise in aging and bone health, participants build strength safely with joint-friendly movements adapted for all fitness levels.
What You'll Get:
Progressive exercises tailored to stimulate bone growth and improve muscle strength, balance, and posture
Integrated education on nutrition for bone building
Stress management techniques, essential for lowering cortisol (a hormone that can actively inhibit bone formation)
Personalized support, including:
A free 20-minute consultation to review your bone scan
Email coaching throughout the session
Bone-healthy monthly recipes and educational newsletters
Access to exclusive instructional videos and bonus materials
Led by:
Beverley Ikier, CPT, BCTMB — developer of the Osteofitness™ method with over 20 years of experience, trained under Dr. Miriam Nelson
Kerri Powers, owner of Fitness Together Lexington, bringing deep knowledge and hands-on coaching to every session
Program Format:Osteofitness™ is only available as a 12-week program, 24 classes, with an addition of two videos. This structure reflects our commitment to your long-term health and outcomes because meaningful change requires consistency.

The Forever Fit Program will teach you how to develop strength, increase flexibility, improve balance and agility, build up endurance and reduce stress. There are three components to this program: individual assessments with the instructor, group instruction 2 times a week, and when necessary, personal training sessions offered by our fitness expert, Carolyn Gregoire.Interested in learning more?

Osteofitness with Beverley Ikier and Kerri Powers - Osteofitness Fall Hybrid
Osteofitness™: Evidence-Based Strength for Your Bones, Balance, and IndependenceOsteofitness™ isn't just another exercise class — it's a research-backed, holistic program designed specifically to prevent and treat osteoporosis. Built on decades of data, including the groundbreaking work of Dr. Miriam Nelson ("Strong Women Stay Young"), Osteofitness™ follows the proven formula: strength training at least twice per week is essential to increase bone mineral density and reduce fracture risk. Anything less simply doesn't produce the physiological changes your bones need.Why It Works:
Strength training twice weekly has been shown in clinical studies to significantly improve bone density, especially in vulnerable sites like the hips, spine, and wrists — the most common locations for osteoporotic fractures.
Regular drills improve balance and coordination, key to fall prevention, which is critical since one fracture can lead to long-term loss of independence or even increase mortality risk.
Guided by certified trainers with expertise in aging and bone health, participants build strength safely with joint-friendly movements adapted for all fitness levels.
What You'll Get:
Progressive exercises tailored to stimulate bone growth and improve muscle strength, balance, and posture
Integrated education on nutrition for bone building
Stress management techniques, essential for lowering cortisol (a hormone that can actively inhibit bone formation)
Personalized support, including:
A free 20-minute consultation to review your bone scan
Email coaching throughout the session
Bone-healthy monthly recipes and educational newsletters
Access to exclusive instructional videos and bonus materials
Led by:
Beverley Ikier, CPT, BCTMB — developer of the Osteofitness™ method with over 20 years of experience, trained under Dr. Miriam Nelson
Kerri Powers, owner of Fitness Together Lexington, bringing deep knowledge and hands-on coaching to every session
Program Format:Osteofitness™ is only available as a 12-week program, 24 classes, with an addition of two videos. This structure reflects our commitment to your long-term health and outcomes because meaningful change requires consistency.

Osteofitness with Beverley Ikier and Kerri Powers - Osteofitness Fall Hybrid
Osteofitness™: Evidence-Based Strength for Your Bones, Balance, and IndependenceOsteofitness™ isn't just another exercise class — it's a research-backed, holistic program designed specifically to prevent and treat osteoporosis. Built on decades of data, including the groundbreaking work of Dr. Miriam Nelson ("Strong Women Stay Young"), Osteofitness™ follows the proven formula: strength training at least twice per week is essential to increase bone mineral density and reduce fracture risk. Anything less simply doesn't produce the physiological changes your bones need.Why It Works:
Strength training twice weekly has been shown in clinical studies to significantly improve bone density, especially in vulnerable sites like the hips, spine, and wrists — the most common locations for osteoporotic fractures.
Regular drills improve balance and coordination, key to fall prevention, which is critical since one fracture can lead to long-term loss of independence or even increase mortality risk.
Guided by certified trainers with expertise in aging and bone health, participants build strength safely with joint-friendly movements adapted for all fitness levels.
What You'll Get:
Progressive exercises tailored to stimulate bone growth and improve muscle strength, balance, and posture
Integrated education on nutrition for bone building
Stress management techniques, essential for lowering cortisol (a hormone that can actively inhibit bone formation)
Personalized support, including:
A free 20-minute consultation to review your bone scan
Email coaching throughout the session
Bone-healthy monthly recipes and educational newsletters
Access to exclusive instructional videos and bonus materials
Led by:
Beverley Ikier, CPT, BCTMB — developer of the Osteofitness™ method with over 20 years of experience, trained under Dr. Miriam Nelson
Kerri Powers, owner of Fitness Together Lexington, bringing deep knowledge and hands-on coaching to every session
Program Format:Osteofitness™ is only available as a 12-week program, 24 classes, with an addition of two videos. This structure reflects our commitment to your long-term health and outcomes because meaningful change requires consistency.
