Today our trainer, Felisha Bannen, and owner, Michael Thomas Merren, were certified as Matter of Balance Coaches.

A Matter of Balance (MOB) is an evidence-based, award-winning falls prevention program designed for older adults who are concerned about falling. Through 8 two-hour sessions led by trained coaches, participants learn to view falls as controllable, increase their physical activity levels, identify fall hazards in their homes, and perform exercises to improve balance and strength. The goal is to empower older adults to reduce their fear of falling, gain confidence, and improve their overall physical well-being.
