Celebrating 5 Years of yes2next
Five years ago, my mom and I launched yes2next with a simple mission: to help people—especially seniors and beginner exercisers—stay strong, mobile, and independent through accessible, encouraging workouts. What started with a few videos filmed in our living room has grown into a vibrant global community of movers, learners, and joyful exercisers. And today, we’re celebrating five incredible years together.
🎉 A Community That Inspires Every Day
The biggest highlight of these past five years has been YOU. We’ve received thousands of messages from people all over the world sharing their fitness milestones—whether it's standing up without support, walking further than ever before, or doing a full workout with confidence. Your progress and positivity continue to inspire us every single day.
💡 Learning from Experts, Growing with Purpose
Along the way, we've also been fortunate to learn from some amazing health and fitness experts who’ve shared insights into topics like strength training, bone health, nutrition for older adults, and more. These lessons have shaped how we design our workouts—and helped us grow right alongside you. Here is a link to a playlist of our podcasts.
😺 Mochi Turns Five Too!
Did you know Mochi, our sweet and sassy cat, was born the same month we launched yes2next? From tiny kitten cameos to full-on workout supervision, he’s been a beloved part of our videos and our lives. It’s been a joy to watch him grow with the channel—and to hear how many of you look forward to his appearances!
😂 Laughs with Mom
Of course, no celebration would be complete without recognizing Mom. Her good humor, resilience, and willingness to try anything on camera have brought so much joy to our videos. We’ve collected some of our fun moments together in our anniversary video—because sometimes, laughter is the best workout of all.
🙏 Thank You
We truly could not have made it this far without your support, encouragement, and willingness to move with us. Whether you've done one workout or hundreds, you're a part of this journey.
