Your health is your wealth – and it starts with the first step.

That is Gail Everett’s mantra, and she puts it into action on Saturday mornings in her Walk Aerobics Camp.

On June 20, Mayor Liz Lempert will help kick off this season’s Walk Aerobics Camp. The camp, which starts at 9 a.m., is held at Princeton’s Community Park track next to the tennis courts.

Lempert will lead the class, which is limited to the first 10 people who turn out, Everett said. The class is a combination of walking and exercising. Participants should not be surprised if the mayor leads them on a three-mile walk around the community, she said.

Lempert enjoys participating in the Walk Aerobics Camp from time to time.

“Gail reached out to me a few years ago to join her walking fitness class. Just getting out and walking and connecting with others is a great way to stay healthy,” Lempert said.

“Gail is full of life and one of the most energetic people I know,” she said.

There will be a few changes to the Walk Aerobics Camp because of the COVID-19 pandemic. For starters, participants must wear a facial covering or mask, and they must keep a social distance of six feet from each other. They also have to bring their own fitness equipment.

But Everett promises that the Walk Aerobics Camp will still be fun.

“Soak up some vitamin D, enjoy the fresh air and the freedom of being outside. It will enhance your mental and physical well-being, and you will leave feeling like a million bucks,” Everett said.

Participants work at the fitness level that is safe and “do-able” for them, Everett said. The goal is to work a little harder as the participants become more physically fit.

The Walk Aerobics Camp will run on Saturday mornings at the Community Park track through the end of September. At that point, Everett’s Olivia’s Wellness Connection – which she describes as a wellness ministry – begins its indoor programs at the Princeton YMCA on Paul Robeson Place.

Everett holds an associate’s degree in exercise science, and graduated from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition as a certified health coach. She is a certified personal trainer, and is qualified to teach Pilates and weight management.

“Mental health is a huge part of our overall wellness,” said Everett, who has also added a certification for stress reduction, relaxation and meditation instructor to her array of wellness teaching skills.

Olivia’s Wellness Connection has partnered with the Princeton YMCA since 2011. Everett’s programs provide awareness and prevention of chronic diseases through healthy lifestyle changes. The workshops at the Princeton YMCA also include a healthy snack.

Olivia’s Wellness Campaign has its roots in the early death of her mother, Everett said. Her mother was 48 years old when she died of a stroke in 1970. Olivia G. White, for whom Olivia’s Wellness Connection is named, was “totally dedicated” to the well-being of her six children, Everett said.

Everett said she has dedicated her work in honor of her mother. She said she wants to give everyone the opportunity to be healthy that was not available to her mother.

“For every person I convince to make their health a priority, my mother’s death will not have been in vain,” Everett said.
