Celebrating a “Best of All” Moment with GiGi’s Virtual Playhouse

At GiGi’s Virtual Playhouse, every small victory is celebrated, and each step forward is considered a “Best of All” moment. These moments are continual, measurable, and celebrated, motivating participants to challenge themselves a little more each day. One inspiring “Best of All” story comes from Daeja, who experienced a memorable achievement during her first GiGiFIT Adult class.
Daeja’s first exercise class at GiGiFIT was a defining moment for her. With excitement and pride, she called it “the best day ever.” The class not only offered an excellent workout but also provided meaningful opportunities for connection, which made the experience even more special for Daeja. Her dedication to pushing herself during these sessions embodies the spirit of a “Best of All” moment — doing a little better each day and celebrating each milestone along the way.
GiGi’s Virtual Playhouse has made a significant difference in Daeja’s life and her family’s as well. Its accessible virtual programming has created meaningful opportunities for them to connect and engage right from home. These programs have become an essential part of their daily routine, providing both social interaction and valuable learning experiences.
Currently, Daeja participates in several virtual programs. Among her favorites is GiGiFIT Adult, where she continues to thrive. She also enjoys Yoga, attends GiGi’s Kitchen occasionally, and engages in literacy and math tutoring. Each program offers unique experiences that contribute to her growth and well-being.
Stories like Daeja’s showcase the incredible impact of GiGi’s Virtual Playhouse, where participants are encouraged to reach for their “Best of All” moments every day. Whether it’s mastering a new exercise, participating in educational activities, or connecting with friends virtually, these achievements are celebrated as meaningful steps forward in each participant’s journey.
