Client Highlight of the Month: Kathy Downs

This month, we're shining a spotlight on Kathy Downs, an inspiring member of the 4UrLife Movement community. When asked how she first heard about us, Kathy shared, "On Facebook! I think it was on the Roslindale Message Board. I saw a post that was promoting a free class, and I was interested." It's amazing how a simple social media post can lead to life-changing decisions.

Kathy's journey with physical exercise has had its ups and downs. "I was athletic when I was younger," she recalls, "but when I had kids, I completely stopped all forms of exercise. I came up during a time where a lot of people didn’t go to the gym." It wasn't until she turned 65 and noticed how daily tasks were becoming challenging that she realized it was time for a change.

In December 2022, Kathy decided to give personal training with us a try after discovering group classes weren't her thing. "I knew that what I really needed was personal training," she explains. And that's exactly what she's found at 4UrLife Movement—a personalized approach that fits her needs.

When asked what sets us apart from other fitness options, Kathy didn't hesitate: "The community, the intimate space, the staff and Jade! I've never been into big box gyms where you see certain guys puff up their chest to show off how big they look." She appreciates our dedicated staff who ensure her sessions are always booked and cared for—whether she's in town or even in Colorado!

Today at 67, Kathy proudly shares that she's stronger than ever before: "I'm stronger, have better balance and can-do things better now than two years ago. It feels good to use my muscles." Her story is proof that it's never too late to start taking care of yourself—and sometimes all it takes is finding the right place and people to support you on your journey.
