Class Testimonials
Ann Y.
"I enjoy Erin's online exercise classes! I was a little doubtful at first but now I look forward to each class. She is always cheerful and encouraging, trying to make us smile as we concentrate on our movements. I also find that my older-age morning stiffness has lessened AND I am happy to say that my balance has improved!"

“Erin is knowledgeable, organized and methodical in her approach, with her sessions covering some warm up aerobic exercises, strength exercises with and without resistance bands, weights, balance and dexterity exercises. She incorporates short breaks in transitions between types of exercise, including a few jokes. She also offers at least three variations on each type of exercise to allow participants to choose the level of challenge they wish to undertake. All in all, with her sunny personality, Erin ensures each of us gets a full body workout while having fun with exercise.”

"The exercises are carefully thought out so every major joint is limbered up and strengthened. Gain without pain. Erin demonstrates each exercise clearly before leading her class through it, often showing the exercise from both front and side views so we know exactly what we are doing.
When leading the exercise, she keeps reminding us what to focus on, so we do them properly for maximum benefit. Erin makes good eye contact and smiles a lot, creating a friendly and cheerful atmosphere. I almost feel I’m in the room with her. She displays endless patience and is extremely generous with her time, answering questions, helping with problems and never making us feel “rushed". I have taken quite a few group exercise classes, both live and online, and this is one of the best. I have recommended it to friends."

"I have the pleasure of having Erin O'Brien as a fitness instructor in three classes weekly at the Kingston Seniors Centre. Her classes are well-organized and provide the opportunity to stretch/strengthen the important muscles and joints of the body. Erin varies the specific exercises from class to class while continuing to give them the same thorough explanation and attention to detail. When demonstrating an exercise, Erin explains the purpose of it and the muscles and joints involved. As well, she suggests a number of different levels so that the class is adaptable to each person's abilities.
I know that Erin is wholly committed to providing exercise programs for seniors, and in spite of her youth, she works very well with older people because of her pleasant and engaging personality, her wide knowledge of fitness and health, and her ability to perceive the particular needs of the people with whom she works."

"I am very happy to let everyone know that doing my exercise class with Erin is fantastic! I'm not a happy exerciser at the best of times, but somehow, Erin even has me smiling during the class! It may be the pandemic that gave us Exercising with Erin over Zoom, but it will be my permanent preferred way, in my own home! And not having to go out on a cold blustery winter day is a bonus!"

"I have been totally impressed with Erin’s virtual classes because she consistently guides us through head-to-toe exercises offering various levels of difficulty which meet the specific needs of her students. Erin’s meticulous attention to detail, coupled with her engaging, fun approach to exercising, make the Zoom classes truly joyful. I always find the hour classes go by quickly - a great program for Seniors. Thank you, Erin!"

"Uplifting. Effective. That describes my experience as a zoom participant in Erin O'Brien's
series for older arthritics. As a ninety-year-old former athlete with past injuries, my aching body and balance were declining and life was becoming discouraging. When my wife heard about young and cheerful Erin's zoom program we signed up. It works well and and I recommend it."

I recently took an exercise for osteoporosis class with Erin O’Brien. Although I didn’t love the exercise (because it’s exercise!)...I loved Erin. She’s cheerful, upbeat, and supportive. She encouraged us to modify the movements to suit our individual levels of comfort and ability. Erin does not promote the “no pain, no gain” theory followed by fitness instructors I’ve worked with in the past. Hallelujah! Instead, Erin wants folks to enjoy exercise, to have fun. She tried to create a happy atmosphere in the class, praising us for showing up, for participating, for taking care of our bodies.
My seasonal job starts soon, preventing me from registering for the next session of Erin’s class. I’m disappointed about that because the exercises
were working; I felt stronger, and my posture improved.
I wholeheartedly recommend Erin. If you’re thinking of taking a class but are worried that it will be too hard, that you’ll be the worst one there, that the instructor will tell you to move faster...stop worrying, and sign up with Erin. She’ll take good care of you.
