SilverSneakers® fitness membership

“My name is Cecilia Gomez, and I am ninety three years old. I belong to SilverSneakers for thirty four or thirty five years.

My secret is to be active every day. It's the first thing that I do is run to the gym.”

“She has earned her dues in this world, and she is an inspiration to everybody, even the grandkids that come into class to watch their grandmother dance.”

Results vary. Not all participants will achieve these results.

“When you move in the gym, you get so much in the gym. I go there sometimes tired. I need to start working. When I come here, I come in jumping and singing and whatever has to be done.”

“So my mother's faced a lot of obstacles in her life. She doesn't let anything get her down, which is amazing. She's had plenty of illnesses. SilverSneakers is her life.”

Pat Schneider

Cecilia’s daughter

“She needs a social aspect of it. Everyone here is so loving at the gym.

Everything about her is due to exercise. Everything she is is from exercise. Just an amazing woman. My family calls her Wonder Woman. She just doesn't stop.”

“When I move, the SilverSneakers can make me, it gives me life.
Very happy. I move very easy. So I feel very good. I feel very good.”
