Instructor: Isolde Spies – AgeWise Exercise
Vitality and Aging (MSc) BA HMSc (Hons Sport Science), Aging and Gerontology, PWR Certified
Isolde has worked as an Exercise Physiologist and Group fitness instructor in South Africa, The United Kingdom, Australia and Canada for 25 years. Over the past decade her professional focus has evolved from studying and teaching those who are learning early in their lives to those who are learning later in life.
Consequently, she developed a passion for working with the elderly and assisting those with chronic disease. By sharing her clients’ and patients’ life experiences as well as being a cancer survivor herself, she has been provided with an earlier than expected understanding of what aging looks and feels like. Not only dealing with physical constraints like managing chronic fatigue, pain, decreasing mobility and inflammation, but also dealing with mental and emotional stability around everyday life issues, as well as coping with the thought of mortality, she has witnessed how exercise can help manage and improve all of these struggles. Isolde believes in promoting and incorporating active living and exercise in order to age well through movement.
This unique exercise program lead by Isolde will focus on multi-component exercises and PWR Moves.
