Our Company
1 in 9 adults 45 years of age and older report memory loss. People who experience depression, sedentary lifestyle, high blood pressure, diabetes, and women suffering from menopause also complain about having challenges with their memory. Memory Fit has partnered with UCLA to raise awareness about memory decline and provide programs that improve memory and increase physical activity. Our research has shown memory training and physical activity is the key to compensation for brain pathology. The end result is reduction of the likelihood of developing dementia or Alzheimer's disease later in life.
More than 1/2 of individuals 45 and older who have reported memory loss have not participated in any program centered around memory. Memory Fit offers 3 programs Memory-In-Training, Memory-For-Fitness, and Memory Boot Camp to decrease memory loss and increase memory recall. Once Memory-In-Training and Memory-For-Fitness or Memory Boot Camp has been completed you are officially part of our Memory Family and can join Memory Lifestyle. Our Memory Lifestyle Family not only participate in monthly booster sessions but they also learn a different way of living and looking at being an older adult.
