Get Stronger, Live Longer, & Most Importantly Live BETTER at 55/60 Years Old

The Silver Stars Difference: Silver Stars Fitness isn't a typical gym where you walk in, use equipment, pay membership fees and leave. As a member, you get a set weekly appointment with a coach — either in-person at our studio or live on Zoom — in a small group or one-on-one setting, all designed to help you build strength, improve balance, and move, feel, and look better.

Passion, Knowledge, Results

Elizabeth Cornell

Since 1993, I’ve been a NYS licensed massage therapist and certified craniosacral therapist. I use a careful and respectful touch to listen closely to your body and devise a special treatment plan to meet your particular needs. In addition to bodywork, my training and professional background also include communications, teaching composition and literature, and critical thinking. I also repair guitars and enjoy playing music with friends. I draw from all of these experiences to bring a unique sensibility and depth to my bodywork practice. I look forward to helping you, whether you’re looking for an hour of bliss or want to reduce chronic stress and physical pain.

Michelle N. Nizza

Michelle has over a decade of experience since graduating with her B.S. in Exercise Science and Applied Kinesiology, holding certifications through NASM, FMS, and others. Being injured at a young age, she learned quickly how effective exercise is at helping to create quality movement – and how much that movement affects day to day life mentally, physically, and emotionally. Therefore she sought to work with and study under physical therapists, to learn the hows and whys of strength training not just to be fit and look good, but to learn to move well so that you can continue to do so well into the future.
