Fit For Life is a Preventive Health and Fitness
company for seniors, their families and
providers. It was founded by Carol (Hollenbeck)
Glasscock, a physical therapist.
Carol has her master's degree in physical therapy
from the University of Colorado. She has been
practicing P.T. for 12 years with the last 11
years specializing in geriatrics. Besides a
career in physical therapy, Carol also has been
involved in the fitness industry for over 15
years. Carol is a certified fitness instructor
from the Senior Fitness Association and a member
of several professional aging and fitness
organizations (refer to the links page for the specific
organizations).
It was while a home health P.T. that Carol got
the idea for Fit For Life. She noticed that her
patients who led active lives or exercised
regularly recovered completely and quicker from
their injury, surgery or illness. The patients
who led sedentary lifestyles usually did not
recover completely, if at all. Thus, she decided
to get the word out to the general public, that prevention
is the key and fitness really does make
a difference in your overall health and
well-being! Carol also noticed the large
influx of folks over 50 into the fitness
industry. This is good news! The bad news is too
many people do not know how to exercise correctly
and can end up hurting themselves or quitting
because they become frustrated. We at Fit For
Life aim to help the older adult exercise safely
and properly so that they gain maximum benefit
from their exercise program and stick with it. We
carefully review every product and those that
make it have been chosen for their safe design
with the special needs of the older adult in
mind.
Our mission is
to help you, our customer, say with confidence: "I
am fit for life".
Our motto at Fit
For Life is: "Keep Active and Have
Fun!"
