Onward! Productions was founded in 1997 by Sherrie Evenson, MS, Exercise Physiologist.  Sherrie has been a professional in the world of exercise since 1982.  She holds both undergraduate and graduate degrees in Exercise Science.  Sherrie has extensive professional experience in hospital, academic, research, corporate and community settings across the country, and has even directed exercise programs on a cruise ship.  She has worked effectively with people of all ages and fitness levels.  Onward! Productions provides products and services to help people develop safe exercise programs for all ages and fitness levels with empahsis on functional fitness for older adults and special health conditions.  Her greatest reward is seeing the seemingly small (but huge) accomplishments that fitness has on activities of daily living in those who previously had lost hope.

Sherrie practices what she preaches!  At age 49, she has personally maintained a high level of fitness since 1980, regularly running, swimming, biking, and resistance training.  She is a competitive triathlete, racing off and on since she was in her twenties, and successfully completed the Ironman Canada in 1994.  She lives in Portland, Oregon with her daughter.  

"Both your DVDs and books have been a great benefit to my regular exercise.  Learning to move, bend, stand, etc, has increased my energy and endurance.  Exercise is now a pleasure and health that is hard to measure.  I now walk a mile a day (that is a 1 mile improvement).  Having the DVD is like a buddy to encourage me along."
