Live classes right from home

All Vivo classes are taught live by certified trainers and take place over Zoom™, so you can join from the comfort of your home or while traveling. Classes follow a regular weekly schedule, typically 1–3 sessions per week, to help you build a consistent routine, stay accountable, and connect with your group over time.

Personalized fitness in a supportive small group

Vivo’s small-group, interactive sessions give you real-time, personalized instruction from a live trainer who gets to know you, watches your form, adapts exercises for any injuries or physical limitations, and supports your progress every step of the way.

Fitness that meets you where you are

Vivo meets you at your level, whether you're just starting out or already active. Each exercise is offered at 4 levels – whether you exercise seated from a chair or do the most challenging version of that movement, you can choose what’s right for you. All you need to participate are a few simple items like resistance bands or light dumbbells, making it easy to work out from home.

Vivo isn't just for the body, it's also for the brain

Research shows that strength training is one of the most effective ways to support brain function and memory as we age. That is why every Vivo workout is designed to strengthen both your body and your cognitive health.

I also had my last physical therapy session last week and passed the "final exam" with flying colors. They both mentioned that my quick and uneventful recovery was due mainly to my good physical condition prior to surgery, which I credit in good measure to the Vivo program."

Why I started Vivo

Why I started Vivo

Vivo

/ ˈviːvəʊ /; adjective

definition: Italian for “lively”, a musical term that means to play music with life and vigor

Vivo began with my parents. As I watched them age, I saw firsthand how the loss of strength and mobility impacted their independence and quality of life. It was heartbreaking to see them struggle with everyday tasks, and I knew I had to help.​

I discovered that while muscle loss is inevitable as we age, it doesn’t have to define us. Strength training can reverse this decline, improving balance, mobility, and overall health. Inspired by my parents’ journey, I left a 25-year career in corporate America to create Vivo – a program designed to help them, and others stay strong, confident, and independent.​

Now, Vivo has become a family affair. My parents, my children, and I take Vivo classes together every week, even though we live in different states. It’s a way to stay connected, have fun, and prioritize our health as a family. ​

At Vivo, we’re not just about exercise – we’re about empowering people to live better, healthier lives.​

How can strength training build healthier bodies as we age?

Published June 2022: www.nia.nih.gov

Article Summary

Strength training is one of the most effective ways to stay healthy and independent as we age. Researchers have found that it can preserve muscle mass, increase strength, and improve balance and mobility – all critical for reducing the risk of falls, injuries, and loss of independence. It can also play a major role in maintaining bone density and fighting the natural muscle loss that occurs over time.

In addition to its physical benefits, strength training supports metabolic health by improving insulin sensitivity and helping manage conditions like type 2 diabetes. Experts recommend starting slowly, using bodyweight exercises or light resistance bands, and gradually increasing difficulty. Even training just two or three times per week can make a measurable difference in overall health, energy levels, and quality of life. It’s never too late to start, and the results can be life-changing…
