Our Mission

Bridging the Gap in Senior Fitness

"Kujiweza" comes from Swahili, meaning "to empower oneself." We believe that true empowerment in senior fitness comes not just from exercise, but from understanding the whole person—their history, their fears, their aspirations, and their potential.

The Founder

A Personal Journey

The Kujiweza Method began not in a gym, but in a living room—watching my own parents struggle with the changes that come with aging. As a certified personal trainer, I had all the technical knowledge, but I quickly realized that training seniors required something different. Something more.

Traditional fitness certifications taught me how to build muscle and improve cardiovascular health, but they didn't teach me how to help someone who was afraid of falling. They didn't prepare me for clients dealing with chronic pain, limited mobility, or the psychological impacts of aging.

So I embarked on a decade-long journey of learning—studying Tai Chi for its balance and mindfulness benefits, researching fall prevention science, and developing functional fitness protocols specifically designed for aging bodies. I learned from geriatricians, physical therapists, and most importantly, from the seniors themselves.

The Kujiweza Method is the culmination of that journey. It's not just about exercises—it's about understanding the aging process, building genuine connections with clients, and creating sustainable movement practices that enhance quality of life.
