I started working out at NWPT when they were at the Princeton Health Club and I made the move with them to their new and present location. In the beginning I would work with a trainer along with group classes every morning at 5:30AM! I currently come to group classes every day. Some of the original group members still come to classes and we all are on a first name basis. Starting my day with exercise just seems to make the day go better. The secret for me has been to find a time that works for me and my schedule and sticking with it. Another motivator that gets me to class has been that “I’m paying for it so I’d better use it.” When I started, I thought I’d stay with it until I turned 75, and now that I am 75 Well, I’m just going to keep at it until the staff or my body says it’s time to quit. I know a healthy diet and exercise have helped me survive breast cancer. The group classes are really fun…a new challenge is always just around the corner… yoga, indoor rowing, kettle bells, body bars. The trainers come with such knowledge and expertise, and are always going to classes to improve their techniques and learn new ways to raise the bar on improving our strength and fitness. Jean
