Annette Kapp, 90, teaches yoga and weight-training classes at the community center in Bayland Park, in southwest Houston. The classes are free, and the weight-training classes draw large crowds, according to the report.
Students said Kapp's energy and example encourage them. Laurie Bricker said, "She's amazing. Who would think that she is 90 years old?" Student Rachel Ejekaam said, "She makes me feel happy." Laurie Gass said, "She gives us all hope."
Kapp said the classes began during the COVID-19 pandemic, when people were lonely and came together. The gathering started small, on her front porch, and later grew. The classes are nicknamed "On the Curb." Kapp said she is proud to inspire people to exercise. Dozens of students now attend her classes at the community center.
