“I’ve forged amazing connections with clients over the past year as a volunteer.”

I’ve forged amazing connections with clients over the past year as a volunteer. While every shift gives me an opportunity to apply concepts learned through my Kinesiology degree, I’m fascinated by the ability to put a face to the science of healthy aging. I’m simply inspired by the MacSeniors and MacCardiac clients. While I may help them through their exercise programs, I’m learning so much on what it means to keep my body and mind as top priority.

“The MacWheelers program has been life-changing.”

When I was discharged from my Outpatient Physio program I worried that I might lose some of what I had recovered without ongoing physiotherapy. MacWheelers had been strongly recommended to me by the Outpatient team, but I was skeptical that going to a ‘gym’ could replace the specialized program that had helped my recovery so much. Once I experienced MacWheelers it was clear that it was far more than a membership at a gym!
I was assessed and a personalized workout regimen was created for me. Eventually, I came for extra sessions to practice my walking and I have experienced significant improvements. The MacWheelers program has been life-changing. The staff and volunteers provide exceptional expertise, support and encouragement. I am certain that I would not have the quality of life I currently enjoy without MacWheelers. Thank you for all you do!
