Abstract
Abstract The pandemic helped us overcome many of the barriers we had struggled with for group based exercise. Within six weeks, all of our sites had transitioned to group-based virtual classes, aptly called Gerofit to Home (GTH). Because of the rapid and continuously evolving changes in telehealth, we had near daily Veteran feedback on what was working and what was not working. Part of this planning included retaining a smaller group of Veterans on a regular basis who would serve as an ongoing Gerofit Veterans Advisory Panel (VAP). The VAP is a racially and geographically diverse group of 12 men and women Veterans from 7 different sites, with varying levels and duration of participation in Gerofit (some exclusively remote, some in-person then transition to remote with the pandemic). This presentation will feature a moderated discussion with VAP representatives, summarizing the perspectives provided on Veteran preferences, needs, and motivators to engage in GTH.
