What inspired your company to produce age-friendly products or services?

We believe you’re never too old to start exercising. In fact, the older-adult population receives great benefits from physical activity, as they are at the highest risk of sedentary-based illness.

What inspired your founder(s) to form your company?

Our founder was inspired by her father, who, after a heart attack, regained his strength and independence through regular exercise. She became dedicated to spreading the benefits of physical activity to older adults.
