About me: Patti Bishop, B.Sc. Active Aging Educator
"The beautiful woman pictured here with me is my wonderful client, Gay, who will always hold a special place in my heart".
WHERE IT ALL BEGAN
My love of fitness started with my mom. She was a PE teacher, our softball coach, and the person who taught us to play basketball and took us hiking throughout the West Kootenays. From an early age, she showed me how much joy an active life can bring.
My grandmother is the reason I'm so passionate about helping women stay strong and active as they age. She was one of the greatest loves of my life and an avid gardener who grew beautiful flowers and vegetables.
As she became less active, my sisters and I watched her strength and independence gradually decline over the years. I even witnessed her fall, and that experience stayed with me.
It strengthened my determination to help women maintain their strength, balance, confidence, and ability to keep doing the things they love for as long as possible.
That's the heart behind Your Best Age.
