Testimonials

“I have been attending the senior fitness for last 15 months. When I joined this program, I had frozen shoulder. This program gave me flexibility in my shoulders and mobility in my whole body. I also improved my breathing. Over the period of more than a year, Faryal and Amina helped seniors to have a better quality of life. Thanks!”

I had the privilege to attend seniors fitness sessions through ISNA. Being a senior, I found these programs quite beneficial for myself. After attending these programs, I feel quite relaxed, energetic and have more flexibility. I had a shoulder injury and am suffering from knee arthritis. With these exercises felt a great relief in pains and aches. I hope that these programs are continued for our benefit and health.”

“Amina is a great instructor for improving physical mobility. She was showing us modified exercises keeping in mind all the ailments of seniors which helped each and every one of us. I still can’t believe that she got us to do planks! And amazingly after strengthening the rest of the muscles of our bodies, most of us could actually hold ourselves in that position. Thank you, Amina!”

“Thank you Faryal... seeing improvements in me!”

“Thank you for the wonderful exercise programs. I particularly like Faryal’s sessions as her step by step clear instructions and pace of exercises suit my particular needs (I have some physical limitations). All the other programs are great too.”

“Thank you very much for your active leadership, Brother Shaukat, to organize and manage the Seniors Fitness Program. In this context I wish to say the following: Both my wife and I have greatly benefited from the program and were very happy when ISNA sponsored this program and provided their gym facility for the exercises. I want to point out that without the ISNA gym facility, it would have been difficult for our ladies to participate in fitness programs. When Covid-19 hit to close the mosque and other facilities, it was a setback, but with the leadership of Shaukat Rizvi and the cooperation of ISNA, we were able to continue the program online. The cooperation of ISNA is invaluable in many ways. Kindly extend our thanks to them.”

“Thank you very much for organizing the Seniors Fitness Program. My job requires working long hours at the desk. My shoulders and thighs used to hurt and I felt run-down with no energy at the end of day; something that is history now as my energy level does not desert me early. This program has made a big difference. I am no longer out of breath when I tie my shoelaces, I can pray on the floor once again, lift objects more easily, sit with a straight back, and climb stairs with ease. Driving has also improved, as I can also look over my shoulder when changing lanes or turning right and my attention seems to be better than before. I would also like to thank the fitness instructors for their expert guidance. Their routine helps muscle tone and also joint flexibility. Greatly appreciated and recommended. I feel like kicking myself for not starting it earlier. Well, every day is the first day of the rest of my life and I am enjoying it more.”
