Staying active through a Tri-Lakes winter
Snow and short days make it easy to slow down. These are the habits Kristen shares with clients when the weather turns.
- Move your outdoor walks to the middle of the day, when it’s sunniest and warmest
- Spend a few minutes daily at the kitchen counter on heel-to-toe walks and one-leg stands
- Keep your legs and arms strong indoors with squats, chair stands and wall push-ups
- No dumbbells? Canned goods and water bottles work as light weights
- Set up one inviting exercise spot with a mat, light weights and a band
- Keep warm layers handy so a chilly room isn’t a reason to skip
- Set weekly activity goals with a friend, even one who lives far away, and check in
On icy days, your session can move online, and the walking guide covers how to stay safe outside in every season.
How TogetherWON helps you stay independent
We bring the whole program to your Tri-Lakes home and shape it around the life you want to keep living.
At home
A trainer who comes to you
One-on-one sessions in your living room, built around your goals, your health history and the space you have.
Body, brain and balance
All three in every session
Strength for everyday tasks, balance practice for stairs and uneven ground, and brain-body exercises that keep you sharp.
Specialized care
Support for what you’re facing
Programs for Parkinson’s, fall prevention, blood flow restriction (BFR) training and getting stronger after physical therapy.
Anywhere
Keep going when you travel
Switch to live online sessions while you’re away, with the same program, then pick up at home when you’re back.
Walking in Monument, one step at a time
Walking is where many Tri-Lakes clients start. Here’s how we usually build on it.
Walk regularly
First
Short, regular walks on flat, even paths lay the foundation, with a handrail, cane or walking partner whenever you want one.
Add strength and balance
Next
Walking alone doesn’t build much muscle, so we add leg strength and balance work that make each walk steadier.
Keep it going
Then
Walking to errands, a set morning routine and a friend to walk with all make the habit easier to keep.
Programs available in Monument and Tri-Lakes
- In-home personal training
- Fall prevention and balance training

- Blood flow restriction (BFR) training
- Training after physical therapy

Frequently asked questions
Do you serve Woodmoor and Jackson Creek?
Yes. We offer in-home training in Woodmoor, Jackson Creek and across the Tri-Lakes area. Your trainer comes to your home, so there’s no drive to a gym on icy winter mornings.
Do you train clients in Sanctuary Pointe, Promontory Pointe and Kings Deer?
Yes. We offer in-home training in Sanctuary Pointe, Promontory Pointe, Kings Deer, Forest Lakes, Red Rock Ranch and downtown Monument.
Do you come to homes in Palmer Lake, and what about Gleneagle?
Yes to both. Palmer Lake is part of our Tri-Lakes service area, just like Monument and Woodmoor.
Gleneagle, Monument’s neighbor to the south, has a Colorado Springs mailing address, so it has its own page under Colorado Springs. For the larger properties to the east, see our Black Forest page.
Training in GleneagleIs it safe for older adults to exercise at Monument’s elevation?
For most people, yes. At close to 7,000 feet, Monument is almost 1,000 feet higher than Colorado Springs, and the thinner air takes a little off your hardest efforts. Longtime residents are already acclimatized.
When researchers brought adults averaging 68 years old to moderate altitude, their exercise capacity dipped at first and then recovered within about 5 days. Newcomers and anyone with heart or lung disease should talk with a doctor before starting, and we build intensity up from an easy first session.
Can I keep training if I travel or spend winters elsewhere?
Yes. Many clients switch to online training while they’re away, with live Zoom sessions and the same program in the app, then pick up in-home sessions again when they’re back.
My parent lives in Monument. How do I help them get started?
Start by asking what they want to keep doing, like gardening, travel or time with grandkids, rather than talking about exercise. Then book a free consultation at their home. You’re welcome to be there for that first visit, and a trainer handling the accountability lets you go back to simply being their son or daughter.
