Although not required, it is suggested that you have a staff member or volunteer be present at the time the video is played so that they can monitor the group and occasionally provide recommendations for improvement or exercise correction when needed.

Our DVD workout videos and online workouts accommodate all fitness levels and modifications of the exercises will be demonstrated so that everyone will be able to participate. Self-pacing is encouraged at all times. Participants should bring their own weights and stretch band to class (usually in a tote bag that they keep in their car), so your facility does not have to purchase any equipment or store any equipment. If stretch bands are needed, we sell them individually or in sets of
10 or
20 at wholesale pricing. The only other requirement are sturdy chairs like banquet style or folding chairs, but without any arms. We recommend that the class size be kept at under 25 participants.
The Public Performance License includes a Geri-Fit License Kit consisting of attractive marketing materials, press releases to help to successfully launch your Geri-Fit virtual classes, educational materials (handouts) for fall prevention and flexibility training, surveys, the Geri-Fit logo, photos for marketing literature, a License Certificate (suitable for framing), instructions for implementing your DVD-led or online classes, a sample waiver, and ongoing customer service support. We even provide you with a free flyer announcing that Geri-Fit classes are available at your facility.

Let's Move in Libraries to learn about program outcomes of our 2019
national study where Geri-Fit founder Francesca Fisher teamed up with Dr. Noah Lenstra of the University of North Carolina Greensboro where 535 Geri-Fitters across the U.S. participated in a 12 week DVD-led Geri-Fit resistance training program. To view the actual results of that study,

final copy of what was submitted. Special thanks to Dr. Noah Lenstra for his help in this project, the students, the directors at the 49 libraries that helped make it possible, and most of all, the 535 patrons who faithfully came to class each week to exercise with Geri-Fit.
New Geri-Fit Online! Now older adults can exercise at home from any computer, cell phone, TV or tablet!
Here are a few comments from people that have participated in virtual Geri-Fit classes at their library, senior center, and from their home:
I have been attending the Geri-Fit classes at the Gilford New Hampshire library twice a week for over a year and they have remarkably improved my strength and balance. - Victoria E. (age 78)
I have enjoyed your videos for over a year now and felt their benefit -- especially when shoveling snow this winter!
I really like Geri-Fit. It has helped me stay active. I am 75 and I also walk every day, but my doctor says to stay active and this has helped lots. - Kathy T.
I've hiked for years. Decades actually. Gyms have never been my thing and I've known that I should be stretching and using weights but it hasn't happened. When my library offered Geri-Fit, a friend mentioned the same thing I have - they haven't "connected" with gyms, how much they like the group at the library, and how much Geri-Fit has helped them. We range in age from late 60s to almost 90 and certainly a wide range of abilities. - Betty age 74
I am a 79 year old lady with lots of medical issues and have been doing Geri-Fit for a little over a year now and it has helped me so much in my movement and the socializing with the other ladies. Thank you so much for your helping me. I hope I can continue this for a while yet. - Liz C.
I cannot tell you how much I appreciate being able to do this during this pandemic!
