Osteofitness with Beverley Ikier and Kerri Powers - Osteofitness Spring Hybrid

Osteofitness™: Evidence-Based Strength for Your Bones, Balance, and IndependenceOsteofitness™ isn't just another exercise class — it's a research-backed, holistic program designed specifically to prevent and treat osteoporosis. Built on decades of data, including the groundbreaking work of Dr. Miriam Nelson ("Strong Women Stay Young") , Osteofitness™ follows the proven formula: strength training at least twice per week is essential to increase bone mineral density and reduce fracture risk. Anything less simply doesn't produce the physiological changes your bones need. Why It Works: Strength training twice weekly has been shown in clinical studies to significantly improve bone density, especially in vulnerable sites like the hips, spine, and wrists — the most common locations for osteoporotic fractures. Regular drills improve balance and coordination, key to fall prevention, which is critical since one fracture can lead to long-term loss of independence or even increase mortality risk. Guided by certified trainers with expertise in aging and bone health, participants build strength safely with joint-friendly movements adapted for all fitness levels. What You'll Get: Progressive exercises tailored to stimulate bone growth and improve muscle strength, balance, and posture Integrated education on nutrition for bone building Stress management techniques, essential for lowering cortisol (a hormone that can actively inhibit bone formation) Personalized support, including: A free 20-minute consultation to review your bone scan Email coaching throughout the session Bone-healthy monthly recipes and educational newsletters Access to exclusive instructional videos and bonus materials Led by: Beverley Ikier, CPT, BCTMB — developer of the Osteofitness™ method with over 20 years of experience, trained under Dr. Miriam Nelson Kerri Powers, owner of Fitness Together Lexington, bringing deep knowledge and hands-on coaching to every session Program Format:Osteofitness™ is only available as a 12-week program, 24 classes, with an addition of two videos.
