Our Story

The Temperleys started Aging is Cool in 2016 with the goal to help older adults live a full and active life.  Their vision from the beginning was to create the types of classes and experiences that they themselves would want in their later years.

With nearly 50 years of combined experience working with older adults, the Temperley’s and their team create and provide programming to help older adults play, grow, contribute and learn throughout their lifespan, wherever they live or gather.
