“I really enjoyed the program and liked meeting new people.  The exercises were sometimes a little difficult, but I got through them. It increased my exercise tolerance. I will now continue to exercise at home at least three days a week. The lectures were in depth. I learnt some new information. Anila and Meena were great. They were not too tough but enough to make sure that we were still working out. They were careful about my oxygen levels when I was walking or weight training and made sure that I was ok.”

“It’s a very positive program, It gave me motivation to get up and get around. It was fun meeting and chatting with others who have similar issues. I found the instruction for various exercises very helpful. The information on diet and medications was very useful. The other lectures covered useful information as well. . Encouragement by the RTs was very beneficial and motivated me to do more. I’m doing 4-5 times more exercise than when I started this program. Both Meena and Anila were supportive, accommodating and patient. I would love to come back do it again when it is offered next.”

 “I really enjoyed the program though1 pm seems too early and the snow doesn’t help. I don’t like exercising, but I force myself to do it, even at home. I really enjoyed the strength training, at home I used soup cans as weights, and they worked well. The cardio was more challenging. The lectures were interesting.  Both Anila and Meena were experienced, helpful and supportive. All in all, a great experience.”
