Fit for Life Jenkintown

Fit for Life has had a positive impact on my mental, emotional and physical state. As a Tai Chi instructor Elizabeth is patient and works with each student at their own level. As a health coach, Elizabeth is insightful, caring and most important - non judgmental. It is a blessing to have someone like Elizabeth guiding and encouraging me.

I arrived 15 minutes early for a 6am class as instructed then waited outside in the chilly air. The instructor finally showed up at 6:07 without apology. The class was a mix of boring and awkward. We started in child’s pose for three full minutes while the instructor texted on her phone and continued to do so throughout class. We did a standard vinyasa flow and sun salutations then randomly stopped the practice to do some inverted crunches and other core work before returning to the flow. We stayed in several poses for much too long and had several awkward transitions between. I usually sweat easily and never broke a sweat this entire class. Afterwards, I checked my fitness watch and saw I only burned half the calories that I normally do in yoga. This place is definitely not for me between the lack of professionalism and lack of rigor.

Elizabeth’s Tai Chi class is amazing. I have taken other classes and hers far surpasses all the others I have attended. In addition, she is very knowledgeable, caring and she really listens to your health needs & will cater exercises to fit your personal needs. FFL offers many types of classes, I highly recommend her studio.

For me, Fit for Life’s tai chi classes have offered an antidote to the stress of daily life, as gentle yet challenging tai chi practice has become an integral part of my weekly routine. Elizabeth teaches movements and forms that reduce tension and promote a tranquil state of mind. I appreciate that she explains both physical and meditative attributes of various forms. Although I attend classes virtually, through Silver Sneakers online, Elizabeth’s tai chi classes are held in-studio, and are open to all. I highly recommend them!

At a challenging time in my life, so much about me felt stagnant. This began to take a toll on my mind and my body. I was introduced to Tai Chi through Fit for Life Jenkintown, and it has become such an important part of my health regimen. The classes have helped me with anxiety, balance, and conditioning. I feel healthier and calmer. I have a more positive outlook on life, and I am more in harmony with what is going on within my body. In my profession, I encounter stressful situations daily, but how I handle those issues when they arise is vastly different now than it was in the past. I have a positive outlook and look for clarity instead of panicking when I face difficulties. I look forward to Elizabeth sharing her many areas of expertise. I now have tools that help me navigate my health journey. I believe Tai Chi has helped improve my quality of life.
