We recently spoke with one of our regular Be Strong class members, Don Berry, about his experience with the classes and the positive impact exercise has had on his overall wellbeing. We asked Don a few questions about what got him into strength training, what he enjoys about the sessions, and the advice he’d give to others thinking about getting started.
We often think of exercise as something we should do for our physical health — to get fitter, stronger, healthier, or more energetic. But movement can do something just as important:
A proper warm-up is essential before any run. It gradually raises your heart rate, increases blood flow to the muscles, and prepares the body for the demands of exercise. This helps improve performance, making movement feel more efficient and controlled from the start. Try this warm up routine before your next run.

Working out with someone else is one of the best ways to stay motivated — especially as we get older. Having a partner means you encourage each other, keep each other accountable, and make sure you actually show up.
Most people begin their fitness journey full of enthusiasm. New trainers. Fresh playlists. Big goals. But a few weeks later, life gets busy. Energy dips. Workouts get skipped. The difference between those who stop and those who continue often comes down to one powerful factor: they do not train alone.
