So You're Over 70 and Want to Train?

 

Hi, my name is Jennifer; I am a co-founder of aneufit. I graduated with a degree in mechanical engineering from UVM. I worked as an engineer for several years, working on everything from heavy movable structures such as bridges to desalination systems and consumer products. 

​

My passion has always been in innovating. In the background of all my work, I spent a lot of time with my grandparents. They were my best friends, and they raised me. When they hit their 90s, I started to see a rapid decline. It made me sad and scared because they were my only family. Talking to doctors and clinicians made it feel like everyone wrote us off because they were "old." Both of my grandparents passed away from what I now know were preventable falls. This experience sparked an interest in figuring out what was behind the decline and dependence with age. 

​

Over the last ten years, I uncovered what we have baked into aneufit. The missing link came through discovering one of the most significant research in MSK health. I started mentoring under his framework, which draws upon information from The Prague School of Rehabilitation and the McKenzie Institute, combined with field knowledge of working with clients. Understanding the fundamental problem behind why we decline allows me to help people individually.

​

Everything we do is high-touch and based on the most up-to-date research. That means you get the best program for your goals and body. We start with motivational interviewing to understand where harmful belief patterns may lie (these play a massive role in how you age, experience pain, recover, and reactivate). On top of that, we can use musculoskeletal guidance and evidence-based research to help guide exercises and trainable menus for each individual based on their story. Our goal at aneufit is to provide the highest quality service available to humans so they can age confidently.
