Enough was enough.

Angela was tired of having to scooch her Cuisinart food processor to the edge of the top shelf and catch it every time she needed it because it was too heavy for her to safely lift down.

It became her turning point.

After attending the Newton YMCA Upper Lift classes with Amanda and consistently building her strength, she’s noticed real change in her everyday life. What once felt risky or difficult is now something she can manage with confidence and control.

She discovered the real power of strength training: 

  • Improved ability to handle everyday tasks safely 
  • Increased strength for lifting, carrying, and reaching 
  • Better balance and stability 
  • Stronger bones and joints 
  • Reduced risk of injury 
  • Greater confidence and independence 

And for the food processor that was once her nemisis … its days of being “scooched” are over!
