Join Michaela Smith, yoga instructor and personal trainer and Dr. Sarah Avery, physical therapist and yoga instructor for a unique program geared to address osteoporosis through improved bone density, balance and posture all in a supportive, small group setting.
The program meets twice weekly and includes both weight lifting and yoga in each class. The groups are intentionally kept small to offer more one-on-one attention. Strength training techniques are carefully chosen and proven to be effective at building bone density, addressing posture and improving balance for a well rounded program. On top of that you receive resources and tools to use at home to stay consistent and to maximize your progress.
The program is 12 weeks total, broken into three phases of four weeks each. Research shows that training twice a week for 12 weeks is the time needed to show improvement in strength. Each phase slowly progresses you to feeling more confident and independent while still having plenty of guidance and support.
The Cost:
Total investment is $1,350 broken into 3 payments at the start of each phase. Each phase includes 2x weekly classes, 75 minutes each of weight lift & yoga.
Phase 1: $600
Includes:
• 20-minute phone consultation
• Instructional videos
• One on one instruction in class
• Weight vest
• Resistance band
• Follow up videos
Phase 2: $450
Includes:
• One on one guidance during classes
• Guidebook for healthy lifestyle tips for osteoporosis
Phase 3: $350
• Phase 3 becomes more focused on the fine tuning of strength training as we will work with various tempos. Because your skills and strength will be more developed, you will gain more independence with the movements. You will require less cues from the therapist and trainer, but you are still under their supervision and planning of each session.
• If you like after you complete phase 3, you can continue on a monthly basis to maintain consistency and community!

“This is a great class! Forty years of competitive swim training did not protect my bones, and in 2012 I was diagnosed with osteoporosis during hip replacement surgery. I underwent 2 years of treatment with Forteo injections but 2 years later my bone density had decreased to osteopenia. I then had a couple of infusions of Reclast but still had osteopenia according to my DEXA scan 2 years ago. I started Sarah & Michaela's program in September and just got another DEXA scan this month (December). Although I still have osteopenia, my spinal bone density has increased 8.5%! My posture and strength have improved. I can now shovel snow without my back telling me to stop after a few minutes. The support and encouragement of Sarah, Michaela and the other women in the class have helped each of us extend our weightlifting goals. Thank you all!”
“Osteopenia generated my initial interest in In Motion’s Osteoporosis Program. I was a bit nervous that I wouldn't be able to do the exercises because of hip and knee injuries. Sarah and Michaela are so encouraging and able to modify exercises that I was soon very comfortable in class and excited to make progress. I am happy with my improvements so far. I am stronger, my balance is getting better, as is my flexibility. I am scheduled for a hip replacement surgery and am confident that I will be able to recover more quickly as a result of class work. Both Sarah and Michaela are so knowledgeable in their field that I feel very protected from injury in class and in the instruction videos we receive. The combination of the weight training and yoga elements in our classes really suits me. I always feel better after class and I am grateful for it!”
“Thank you so much for listening to me when I came to you about my Osteoporosis and for caring so much about Women's Health. My improved DEXA Scan would not have been possible without your program.”
