If you live in Evanston, chances are you know super trainer Mary Cox of MPower Fitness. If you DON'T know her, here's your chance! Mary works with many senior clients to help them maintain and better their strength and mobility. 

Considering this current CoronaClimate, Mary has created a series of at-home workouts geared specifically for seniors (though anyone can do them) to help manage stress, to help people continue to move and stay healthy. 

​We'll be posting Mary's videos as they come out so for now, enjoy Part 1!

Here are a few reasons I LOVE this movement:

• If feels good. It just does.
• You get to light up a lot of nerve endings as your roll your body on the floor, similar to what you get out of a hug!
• It's fun! Babies roll on the floor because it's their job but adults are expected to just sit in front of a computer all day? No thanks.
• By practicing leading your movements with your eyes FIRST, you get to give your neck a break. Quality head control (and posture) starts with the eyes! Master this and your neck discomfort will be a thing of the past.
• Your spine gets super gentle rotation which it needs to stay healthy.

​Practice this rad move for a few minutes per day and let me know how you feel in the comments below!

​Stay safe, stay healthy and keep moving!

Dear TruFit community,

Like you, we have been preoccupied with the ever-changing and evolving information about COVID-19. I have been monitoring the guidelines outlined from the WHO and CDC as well as our local Evanston government officials. Our priority is providing the TruFit community with a comfortable and safe environment. We want you to get healthy here at the studio and stay healthy outside of it.

With that in mind, we want you to be aware of how we are working to reduce the risk of communicable disease at TruFit:

• TruFit already gets a deep clean weekly; trainers are paying close attention to all surfaces (doorknobs, light switches, faucets, etc) and equipment, wiping them down with disinfectant spray and/or wipes after use.
• Our towels come from a service that also services hospitals (so are super clean).
• We have stocked the studio with plenty of hand sanitizer, soap, paper towels and spray bottles with Lysol solution.​​

We would also ask for your help. Please:

• Wash your hands BEFORE your session with your trainer (and before you leave because why not?).
• Wipe down all of your equipment after use.
• If you use a disposable cup, dispose of it when you are done.
• If you use a towel, please place it in the hamper in the closet when you are done.
• If you have to cough or sneeze, please do it in the crook of your elbow.
• If you are sick, do not come to the gym.

​
This situation remains fluid, with constantly changing information. Our promise to you is to be as transparent as possible as we make the best decisions that we can to keep our studio a safe place for all of us.

With warm regards and clean hands,
