CHANDLER, AZ – SilverSneakers by Tivity Health, the nation’s leading community fitness program for older Americans, announces it is accepting nominations for the 19th annual SilverSneakers Member of the Year Award. This prestigious national award honors SilverSneakers members who positively impact and inspire the lives of others through healthy behaviors, physical activity and community involvement.
“The Member of the Year Award is a powerful way to honor our wonderful members who embrace health and active aging,” said Caroline Khalil, Chief Operating Officer, Tivity Health. “As we age, exercise becomes a more vital component in the ability to live independently. I am inspired and awed by the incredible accomplishments of our members and honored to share their stories of resilience and fortitude through this annual award.”
The SilverSneakers Member of the Year Award is presented to members who embody wellness and represent the healthy lifestyle SilverSneakers encourages. The call for nominations is open May 15-26 at Silversneakers.com/MOYAward and anyone can nominate a SilverSneakers member. The top ten most inspiring stories will be shared on the Member of the Year website where the public will select the national award recipient. The winner and nine finalists will have special events held in their honor.
Last year’s award recipients were a couple, Mary and Larry St. Germain of Destrehan, La. Despite undergoing several health challenges over the past few years, their determination has shown how healthy habits can help older adults lead active and vibrant lives. The couple is committed to staying active through SilverSneakers and has been members for over ten years.
SilverSneakers offers members a network of up to 22,000 fitness locations, along with community-based options. Members can take part in live, instructor-led and virtual classes in a variety of lengths and formats that include strength training, cardio, meditation and stress management.
