Love all the positive writers! I joined Good Life Fitness about 2 weeks ago. The variety of choices there has been great, and so I have attended 9 group classes. I am hoping my balance, strength, and energy will improve. So far, the classes are mixed age groups, and they have been kind about my slower time at getting the rhythm. We laugh together, not at anyone. For example, we had to hold a yoga pose for the count of ten. We had just started, but after being interrupted the Trainer asked what number we were on? Almost in unison, the class yelled 10! We all broke out in laughter!
On another topic, does anyone know of a senior group that brainstorming is done for marketing departments, of companies? Almost every week I am irritated by products or services that are not senior friendly. I am in Oakville, Ontario, if location matters. I am wanting to vent, and compare ideas. So many companies are missing out on a huge target market! Thanks in advance!

Brenda, It sound as though you’re “retiired,” whatever that means! How about forming a group of your new and old acquaintances (the exercisers sound like a great bunch) and brainstorming about your marketing insights together. You might then present yourselves as an advisory panel to companies for whom you could provide valuable advice. Think of a catchy name for the group. (Sorry, “Elder Chicks is already taken!) BTW I’m serious about this idea.
