Dear friends,

I plan to invite Lyn to our May 20 chapter meeting. I wanted first to post this invitation message to our chapter list. I know all members are not yet on our list, but you can meet this person, hear about a demo and learn more about the website.

Sincerely,

Debbie Baker

Dear Debra,

I hope this email finds you well. I received your name and email from the NFB website and it has you listed as the contact for Springfield Chapter. I would love to connect about possibly providing an event for your group.

My name is Lyn Lindbergh, and I am the founder of Couch to Active<https://www.couchtoactive.com/>, the first online fitness studio that is 100% accessible to people living with blindness. I am reaching out to you today because I am spreading the word about this relatively new fitness business that has quickly become one of the best resources for people who are blind and want to have the opportunity to fully participate in fitness from the comfort of their homes.

At Couch to Active, we offer 15 classes online every week, with a team of four expert instructors who specialize in creating classes with top-quality audio descriptions that cater to everyone's needs. We are proud to say that more than half of our students are completely blind, and the other half are living with chronic illnesses.

We understand the importance of offering fitness solutions for the growing number of individuals managing diabetic retinopathy, and we are dedicated to providing a world-class fitness experience for this population. In 2022 alone, we provided over 700 live online group fitness classes that are fully accessible to people living with vision loss or blindness.

Our classes include strength, stability, Pilates, yoga, dance, cardio, and stretching. We encourage our clients to come as they are, modify their movements as needed, and have fun. Our classes are not recorded, and participants can choose to leave their cameras off if they would like.

In addition to our group classes, we also offer one on one personalized training that is tailored to the individual's needs. Our personal training sessions are provided online over Zoom, and you can find more information about our program on our website.

I am a certified personal trainer, certified mat Pilates instructor, group fitness instructor, fitness nutrition specialist, aging fitness specialist, and certified cycling instructor. With my degree in education, I strive to ensure that our students have a fantastic experience at Couch to Active.

Along with our fitness studio, I also host the Couch to Active podcast, which has over 500 episodes and is dedicated to helping even the most reluctant exercisers find their motivation. I am also the author of the six-time award-winning book, "Couch to Active."

I would love to connect with you to offer a free demo class to your community or an inspirational health and fitness talk.

Please feel free to reply to this email or contact me at 206-372-2070 to discuss this further.

Thank you for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
