Description
Jennifer Pettis shares a participant's account of an online strength program for older adults, in work from 2024. The program, called Vivo, runs live classes by video with a trainer. Her story shows what the format feels like from inside, not just what scores it moves.
She reports clear gains in muscle strength and daily energy. Tasks of daily life grew easier, and confidence rose with them. Workouts adapted to varied fitness levels while keeping form safe. Live sessions also built friendships across distance, which fed her drive to keep going. The account argues that social glue is part of why the program works, not a side bonus.
