Questions and Answers

Where do classes take place?

Typicaly in private homes, but it really depends on your preferences and what type of activities we are doing. Current events class and mental workout classes can be conducted in a cafe if noise is not a significant issue. If we are having currents events class and physical exercise class, staying in the home may be better. Feel free to discuss your preferences, because we want it to work for you.

When do classes begin?

Anytime between 9 am to 4 pm. You can start your class in the morning if you are an early riser. If you wake up late, we can begin classes in the afternoon too. What works for you is most important.

Are there group classes?

Yes, group classes are available when there are enough attendees. We would love to allow you to make more friends. Socialization is the key to longevity. Group classes will be cheaper than an one-on-one class, so feel free to invite a friend to join and make a group class. Classes can take place in a physical location or in an online group meeting, which allows each speaker to view each other easily all in one screen. It is a truly convenient and state-of-the-art technological experience.

How many classes do I have to take?

It really depends on you. We could always start with a few classes or whatever you are comfortable with. Know how many hours per day and how many days per week you are willing to commit based on your personal schedule, for example doctors appointment, therapy, and etc. Bear in mind that Rich Brains classes is more than a class, it’s a lifestyle or a holistic daily life experience. From stationary classes, cooking meals, to holiday arts and crafts preparation, to physical exercise, we plan to be your ultimate daily engagement buddy. Through a mixture of high and low intensity classes, such as current events discussion and physical exercise, having 3 or more hours a day would be a piece of cake for our trained Enrichment Tutors, who are activity specialists. In general, more classes per week and more hours per day would allow more engagement and brain stimulation, which is vital for aging in place.

What is the minimum amount of classes one can take?

If one only chooses 1 or 2 hours of classes per day and there are no Enrichment Tutors living nearby, online classes would be suggested.

Do I need to buy training equipment for physical exercise classes?

We can provide 1 to 10 lb weights for strength training. If you need yoga mats, towels, or heavier equipment, you need to purchase these ahead of time.

Are there online classes?

Yes, and we strongly recommend clients trying them. It offers the convenience of your time and location while interacting with the Enrichment Tutor or even other seniors from different regions in the case of a group class. Seniors will be able to see each other and view documents disseminated by the Enrichment Tutor.

What is required for an online class?

Please have a computer, webcam, and internet connection ready, for these are neccesary for the online class. Rich Brains will not provide any of these items. However, we will help setup so that we can use Zoom from www.zoom.us to conduct the video conferencing.
