"I am beginning to feel my age. I am having problems with my balance and know I need to keep moving."
You don't want to do handstands or run marathons. You aren't worried about getting flat abs or taking selfies in the gym. What you do want is to keep your mind sharp and your body strong for as long as possible.
You exercise to stay fit so you can do all the other things that make your life enjoyable and meaningful.
Whether you are looking after your grandchildren, tending your garden, meeting friends for a walk or planning your next cruise, you want to feel confident and have the energy to make the most of every day.
"The fitter I am, the more I am able to enjoy life and do the things I want to do..."
You can do all this, and more, with the Vida Wellness Studio!
Hi, I'm Claudine, the founder of Vida Wellness
Over 5 years, I watched my grandmother lose the ability to get up and down the stairs. That meant she had to sleep in her living room because she couldn’t get up to the bedrooms. And, at my wedding reception, we had to carry her up the stairs (in a wheelchair) to drink with us. It was heartbreaking.
There's a lot more to her story, but the point is that I saw and felt the impact of reduced fitness on my grandmother’s life. This is one of the reasons why I do the work I do.
I have seen what can happen to people who have trouble with their balance, when a trip on the pavement becomes a bad fall. They go from leading full, active lives to losing confidence and being frightened to go out. Broken wrists, shoulders and hips can be hard to recover from. The result of just one trip or fall on the pavement can be devastating.
That's why I spent many years training as a specialist exercise instructor. I have obtained numerous qualifications, studying in both the UK and the US. I have worked with people of all ages and with medical conditions including arthritis, osteoporosis, MS and Parkinson's.
Over the last 15 years, my team and I have helped thousands of people to improve their balance, feel stronger and stay active for longer. I am so grateful for the opportunity to have worked with all the people I have. I see all the challenges they are going through (caring for spouses, helping with grandchildren, dealing with health complications) and am continually impressed by their strength of character. They keep on going with the exercises so that they can keep on going with all their other commitments and make the most of every day.
I feel honoured to have been able to help them to improve their balance and overall fitness, and would love to help you too.

Your Studio is more helpful than a 'trainer' at a local gym.

Frequently Asked Questions
There are thousands of free exercise videos on YouTube. Why should I pay for Studio membership?
There are so many free videos on the internet. We even have lots on our website and YouTube channel. We want to help as many people as possible to stay active and it's a good way for you to get to know us better.
But, when there are so many free videos out there, the choice can feel overwhelming. We know how frustrating it is to waste ages searching through YouTube or scrolling through websites, trying different things out, getting distracted by ads and having to stop halfway through a video because it's not right for you after all.
As a Studio member, you will be relieved at how easy it is for you to exercise at home. You will be confident that, even when you don't have much time, you have an exercise video that is at the right level for you and can get on with it in a few clicks. You also know that you can get support and advice when you need it.
I see your prices are in US dollars but I'm not in America. How does that work?
We have members from all over the world (UK, Europe, America, Canada, Australia and more!). Unfortunately, our website only allows us to charge in one currency. So we had to pick one, and US dollars are the most popular international currency.
If you aren't based in the US, then the amount you pay for each month or year will vary slightly due to currency fluctuations. We recommend this currency converter to help you know how much you will pay each time. Your credit card or PayPal will automatically convert the amount each time.
Some banks make a small charge for international currency payments (these are usually very small) and some don't charge at all. You should ask your bank or card provider if you want to confirm these charges.
I am worried about overdoing it when I exercise. I want to get fitter but am worried I will be pushed too far and end up injuring myself. How do I know this won't happen in the Studio?
We encourage you to always work at the right level for you. To do this, you need to learn what it should and shouldn't feel like when you exercise. We help you to understand this so that you can make the right decisions about what to do (both when you are exercising with us, and when you are doing everyday activities).
I have been to classes where I felt really out of place. They were full of bendy people in Lycra, and the instructors asked me to do things I could do 15 years ago but just can't anymore. Will it be the same in the Studio?
The Studio is for people like you, who don't care about putting their foot behind their head, but want to maintain their balance, improve their posture and feel stronger for everyday life.
We don't do handstands or play loud music, and there’s no pressure to compete. Studio members support and encourage each other. Your instructor will answer your questions in a considered and helpful manner.
I have tried exercising at home before, and it didn't work for me. I think I need to be in a class or gym to keep going.
Exercising by yourself at home is hard. With the Studio, are no longer alone and exercising at home becomes much easier. You feel encouraged and supported, and much more confident that you are doing the exercises correctly.
We know that motivation can be difficult to muster, and we want to help you succeed. We will keep you on track and provide lots of helpful guidance and suggestions to make the most of the Studio.
You can use the Members' Forum to ask questions and get support from other members and the Vida Wellness team.
Will I need advanced computing skills to use the Studio?
You do not need any special knowledge to use the Studio. If you are reading this web page and can send and receive emails, then you can do everything you need to do!
When you join the Studio, you will get a Welcome Tour. This will show how to get started with the Studio.
The layout is clear and it's easy to find the videos and information you need.
If you need help at any time, you can go to the Tech Support page. You can also ask questions and contact us for help in the Members' Forum.
I am forever forgetting my passwords. Will I get locked out of the Studio?
We know how you feel. It's impossible to remember all the passwords we need now, and sometimes it feels like you spend your life requesting new passwords.
We recommend taking the option for your device or internet browser to remember your password for you (sometimes called auto-saving). That way, you are logged in all the time.
You can also reset your password at any time, by clicking on the link on our login page. We will send a reset email to the address you registered with.
How do I know if the exercises will be at the right level for me?
If you have been using the videos on our website or YouTube channel or receiving our weekly emails, and these have been at the right level for you, then the Studio will be perfect for you. If you join and find the exercises are not at the right level for you, you can take advantage of our 30-Day Money Back Guarantee.
I can't get up and down from the floor very easily. Will I be able to do all the exercises?
Some of our members also find it difficult to get up and down from the floor.
If this is a challenge for you, don't worry. We do have a few videos that involve floor work, but these are flagged before you start and there are alternatives.
More importantly, we can help you to get stronger and more confident getting down to and up from the floor. We have videos demonstrating techniques for doing so safely, and we are working on lots more videos and content to support you in this important skill.
We have helped many people to become stronger and more confident getting up and down from the floor, and would love to help you too.
Are your videos chair-based exercise?
We do some of our exercises seated, but mostly we exercise standing up. We would not describe our videos as chair-based exercise.
There is a place for seated exercises, but we think that if you are fit enough to walk into the Studio, you should do most of your exercise standing up too. Seated exercise can be very beneficial, but you need to be standing and moving if you want to improve your balance and prevent falls.
I don't have any exercise clothing or shoes. Do I need to buy these before I join the Studio?
You don't need any special clothing or footwear to do the exercises in the Studio.
If you want to wear snazzy, neon leggings, then go for it! But you can also wear any comfortable trousers, leggings or shorts. If you can bend and move your legs freely (and there’s nothing you could trip on), it's fine.
You don't even need to have sports shoes. Any soft-soled shoes will do, so that you can flex and point your feet. Please, no high heels or slippers though!
You can also do the exercises barefoot at home (as long as you don't have any concerns about your foot health, e.g. with diabetes).
I walk most days. Do I need to do exercises in the Studio as well?
Walking is a great form of exercise, and if you are walking most days, then we encourage you to keep that up. Walking is not, however, a complete exercise solution (nothing is!).
To stay active and independent, we need to do regular strength and balance exercises. These will complement your walking. By working on your strength and balance, you will maintain your confidence and ability to walk safely and confidently for longer.
Can I upgrade to an annual membership if I buy a monthly membership first?
You certainly can! You can upgrade to annual membership any time with a couple of clicks from your account page. Our system will automatically take into account the time left on your current subscription, so you'll never be double charged either.
I already go to an exercise class once a week. Why would I join the Studio as well?
Going to a regular class is great. If you have a class you enjoy and that fits with your schedule, that's wonderful. However, while going to a class once a week is good, it's not enough.
Studio members find that the exercises they do in our videos complement their classes. They enjoy staying active most days. They like that they can do shorter videos more often, maybe fitting in a 5 or 10-minute video in the morning.
You will feel better with more regular bursts of short exercise. You will also benefit more from the class as you have kept moving throughout the week.
I travel a lot and have never managed to stick to an exercise routine. Will the Studio work for me?
If you travel a lot, whether you are exploring the world, going somewhere warm for winter or staying with far-flung family members, the Studio can help you.
The more you travel, the fitter you want and need to be, but the harder it is to get to any regular class or facility.
You can use the Studio and watch all the videos on your smartphone, tablet or laptop. There are lots of short videos, so you can choose a 10- or 15-minute routine to fit in around your plans. Most of the videos don't use any equipment, and any equipment we do use is light and portable (think stretchy resistance bands, not heavy dumbbells).
So, whether you are on a cruise, visiting grandchildren or exploring a new city, being a Studio member will enable to you to keep on exercising and stay fit enough to make the most of all your travels.
I want to get fitter, but I am busy and worried I won't have the time to do the exercises. How will the Studio help me?
When you are busy, it can be hard to get to a class or exercise facility regularly. The class times may not be convenient, or the time it takes you to get there and back might eat into your day too much.
Having access to the Studio in a couple of clicks will mean you can exercise at home and get on with your day with time to spare. With a large selection of short videos, and the ability to save your Favorites, you will be able to squeeze the exercises into your busy day.
I'm still not 100% sure what the Studio is and if it is right for me. Can you tell me a bit more to help me?
We would love to tell you more! We made this behind the scenes video to help you understand exactly what the membership is and how much it offers you: Join us for a full tour of the Vida Wellness Studio!
If you still have questions after watching the video, just let us know.
