“I am a SilverSneakers instructor because I LOVE IT. They love and appreciate me, but truly they are the gift. ”
Karen D.
SilverSneakers Instructor (since 2003)
“The FLEX program is aptly named – for the flexibility it provides both for my students and for me as a small business owner.
I am able to teach the classes MY students want to take,and I am able to teach those classes on a schedule that works for ME.”
Ti B.
SilverSneakers Instructor
Teaching SilverSneakers is a life-changing and rewarding experience. Class members feel more like family members. There is something for everyone. We get to share and learn on this journey of fitness, wellness and laughter together. I often admit to my students that they teach me more than I could ever teach them. They truly light up my life. Teaching these classes is a highlight of my day!
We give you the support you need to be successful.
