About Functional Fitness for ADLs
Functional Fitness for ADLs (Activities of Daily Living) is designed to help adults 50+ move comfortably and confidently through the tasks that make up everyday life. From standing up out of a chair to climbing stairs, reaching overhead, lifting objects, or getting in and out of the car — this program focuses on strengthening the exact movements you rely on daily.
Every exercise is practical, gentle, and tailored to your abilities, ensuring you gain strength and stability where you need it most. The goal isn’t athletic performance — it’s maximizing comfort, safety, and independence in real-life situations.
What to Expect
Each session includes guided movements that simulate the patterns you use throughout your day. You’ll practice safe lifting, balanced stepping, controlled bending, and core-supported transitions. Exercises are adjusted to your comfort level and physical needs, making this a safe and empowering program for beginners or those returning to activity.

"I’ve had the privilege of knowing and working with Gina for several years. She is truly exceptional in her field. I’ve done private sessions with her and hope to continue those soon. I’ve also participated in her group classes, where I’m the oldest member — at 101 years old — and I’m still able to keep up with the group! I hope Gina is able to secure more sponsors so her classes can be offered at least weekly. She is a gem in the world of physical exercise."

“I’ve worked with many trainers over the years, but none compare to Gina. She understands the challenges that come with aging and always makes me feel supported, never judged. I look forward to every session and always leave feeling better than when I arrived.”

“When my husband passed, I struggled with both balance and motivation. Gina didn’t just help me physically — she lifted my spirits. She has a special way of making exercise feel safe, manageable, and even fun. I’m grateful for her kindness and expertise.”

“Gina helped me regain strength after shoulder surgery. I was nervous to move at first, but she guided me through every exercise with patience and encouragement. I’ve made more progress in six months with her than I did in years of physical therapy.”

“Working with Gina has been a blessing. I had trouble with balance and felt unsteady walking around my own home. Gina’s exercises were gentle but effective, and she always made sure I felt safe. I can move with much more confidence now, and my family notices the difference. She truly has a gift.”
