Cathy, a retired Vermonter from Barnet, first heard about GetSetUp through the Vermont Association of Area Agencies on Aging. As a volunteer at a local senior meal site, she learned that the council had purchased access to GetSetUp for all Vermont seniors. At the time, she was too busy to take advantage of it, but after the passing of her partner earlier this year, Cathy began exploring the platform and discovering its benefits.
“I try to have an exercise routine that combines aerobics and stretches,” Cathy shared. “I was looking for fitness classes like dance or strength-based ones, and GetSetUp has been great for that.”
She’s enjoyed Marathon runner, Ellen Jaffe-Jones' classes, salsa dancing, and other fun fitness options.
“GetSetUp’s fitness classes force me to commit at a certain time, and that’s good for my health and wellness,” she said, noting how important it is to stay active.
The Benefits of Flexibility
One feature Cathy particularly appreciates is the flexibility to revisit classes.
“The recorded sessions are great because you can start over again and redo them,” she explained.
She’s even found a way to save her favorite classes for future reference, making it easy to incorporate them into her busy schedule. Although Cathy prefers live classes when possible, she finds the recorded sessions helpful for her needs.
“Now that I know the difference between recorded and live sessions, it’s just a matter of looking for classes I want to learn more about,” she said.
Creative Exploration
Beyond fitness, Cathy is exploring her creative side.
“I took an art class with Deana, and it was good, but I didn’t have time to pursue more art classes,” she said.
Now, with more time on her hands, she’s excited to explore watercolor, colored pencils, and other art classes more deeply.
“I want to illustrate poems I’ve written and maybe learn how to publish them. I’m not very artistic, but I need some encouragement to be creative.”
Cathy has also found inspiration in GetSetUp’s travel and educational offerings. While one travel class wasn’t exactly what she hoped for, she’s still enthusiastic about exploring more classes.
“I like travel classes that focus on customs and culture—it’s more interesting than just monuments,” she noted.
Building Connections
In addition to learning new skills, Cathy is working on expanding her social network.
“I’ve made quite a lot of friends in the next town over, and I’m maintaining those connections through coffee meetups and gatherings,” she said.
While she’s focused on fostering live interactions right now, she sees GetSetUp as a valuable resource for broadening her horizons and staying connected online.
Gratitude for GetSetUp
Cathy is grateful for the opportunity to access GetSetUp through the Vermont Association of Area Agencies on Aging.
“It’s a great service with so much to do,” she said. “The instructors are enthusiastic, chatty, and supportive, and they explain why the exercises are important for your health.”
Looking ahead, Cathy plans to explore more of GetSetUp’s offerings after the holidays.
“There’s so much variety—it’s like a one-stop shopping for learning and activities,” she said.
Whether learning pickleball in person or discovering new creative outlets online, Cathy is committed to staying engaged and inspired. With GetSetUp, Cathy has found not just a way to stay active and creative but also a source of encouragement during a challenging time.
“GetSetUp is doing a great service,” she concluded.”I like that there is such a variety, and I haven’t taken full advantage of it yet, but I plan to do more.”
For Cathy, the variety of online classes all in one place on GetSetUp, all free to her thanks to the Vermont Association of Area Agencies on Aging, is a reminder that it’s never too late to learn, grow, and connect.
