About Moxie Movez

At Moxie Movez, we're on a mission to help seniors reclaim their vitality and zest for life through fitness, brain games, and supportive community. Founded by Mica Saunders, a passionate advocate for senior health and well-being, our program is dedicated to empowering older adults and individuals with special needs to live life to the fullest.

Our Journey

Moxie Movez began over two decades ago as a low-impact fitness program designed to bring joy and movement to seniors and individuals with disabilities. What started as a simple desire to help seniors maintain their physical and cognitive health has blossomed into a multifaceted program offering a range of services and resources to support our aging population.

Our Programs

  • Chair Aerobics Certification: Our signature certification program equips caregivers and activity directors with the skills to lead engaging fitness sessions for seniors, whether in-person or virtually.

  • Gentle Stretch Sessions Certification: Unlock the power of flexibility and relaxation with our Gentle Stretch Sessions Certification. Specifically designed to meet the unique needs of seniors, these sessions foster mobility, improve flexibility, and promote overall well-being. Led by experienced instructors, our certification program ensures that caregivers are equipped to deliver personalized stretch sessions suitable for individuals of all fitness levels and abilities.

  • Pole Fitness for Seniors Certification: Challenge perceptions and empower seniors with our Pole Fitness Certification program. Breaking stereotypes, this innovative program combines fun and fitness to build strength, enhance coordination, and boost confidence among older adults. Our certification equips caregivers with the tools and techniques to lead safe and effective pole fitness sessions tailored specifically for seniors, fostering a sense of empowerment and vitality.

  • Caregiver Support Program: We understand the challenges caregivers face, which is why we offer a program designed to prevent injuries and provide support for those lifting and assisting clients or loved ones.

Our Impact

Research shows that regular exercise not only improves physical health but also reduces the risk of various conditions, including Alzheimer’s, dementia, heart disease, diabetes, and obesity. Our brain exercises help keep seniors' minds active, lowering the risk of cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease.
