Evelyn Turner

After retiring as a nurse, Evelyn Turner took a temporary detour into the world of potato chips, remote controls, and reruns of sitcoms that featured seniors. A tumble in her garden and a dress that “shrunk in the wash” reminded her of the importance of remaining fit and healthy during her golden years. Determined not to allow the metaphorical weight of her inaction to keep her down, Evelyn summoned upon her wisdom as a seasoned nurse and embarked upon a mission to rescue her own health, mobility, and flexibility. The results Evelyn experienced instituting her 4-week plans were just too good not to share. And so, she decided to offer her services at the local community center where she could connect with seniors whose lust for life was only hindered by mobility and flexibility issues—and perhaps some poor nutrition. Evelyn’s journey has been one that transformed not only her mind and body but the attitudes of others too and she has gained friends, who are like family, along the way. Now, Evelyn is on a new mission; To share her fitness and nutrition knowledge with the world. She is building an army of seniors who understand that getting older doesn’t mean you have to slow down, and with the right well-being goals, seniors can go from couch potato to superhero, as long as they have the right knowledge and attitude. In her downtime, Evelyn can be found tending to her beloved garden, joining her friends in serving the senior community, and writing her fitness books—she may still enjoy a potato chip or two from time to time.
