Mary, 69, first discovered GetSetUp in August 2020 after being laid off from her job as a psychiatric nurse practitioner. Seeking ways to stay active and engaged, she learned about the platform through the Wyoming Department of Health.

"I thought it was an interesting concept, and I started looking around to do exercising, and it just kind of blossomed from there."

Since discovering GetSetUp two years later, Mary has had a fantastic experience with the platform.

"I like the variety that is offered. With classes available at various times of day, it's easy to find something that fits your schedule. I think that's helpful for people because some of us are early morning people, and some of us have evolved into being more of a 'sleep in' type."

Mary particularly enjoys the dance and movement classes, noting the vibrant and helpful instructors such as Pilar Rodriguez's fitness classes, Stacy Robinson's aerobics classes, and Shirley Mitchell's dance classes.

"The personalities and the music help. I really have enjoyed doing [the classes]."

Through these classes, Mary has noticed improvements in her flexibility and balance, contributing to her overall well-being. In addition to physical fitness, GetSetUp offers travel classes that broaden her worldview. She recently attended a class about Forbidden Sites in Iran, which provided her with a unique and enriching experience.

Mary emphasizes the importance of GetSetUp for those who are more confined to their homes, especially in rural areas.

"I think for people who are more confined to home, [GetSetUp] would be a real good thing. We're a rural state, so it's important to have something available for people, so they don't have to drive 50 miles to go to an exercise class."
