Tell us a little about yourself
My name is Cristina Lafuente. I have seventeen years of experience as a businesswoman and have worked for prestigious firms, investment fund companies, banks, etc.
The position I hold at Mayores en Forma OK (MFOK) is CEO.
How was Mayores En Forma OK born?
With what objective?
MFOK was created with the aim of helping the elderly to recover and perform the physical activity they need and recommended by the doctor from their own home.
Physical activity is the healthiest and most beneficial way to improve the health of the elderly at all levels. It is essential to be able to have a more autonomous and healthy life.
Its advantages are enormous to prevent diseases and to recover functionality (strength, balance, flexibility and endurance).

It is important for optimal results to practice it in a professional and personalized way adapted to the needs of each person, with the constancy and intensity necessary to improve their functional, physical, emotional and psychological system.
The benefits of practicing adapted physical activity are very gratifying since recovery in the elderly is reversible and the results are noticeable in just a few weeks.
Our goal is to prevent and achieve that the elderly are autonomous as long as possible, recover functionally and feel better, have a routine appropriate to their needs and a healthy lifestyle.
We are currently located in Torrelodones (Madrid) and we work in the capital and surrounding areas.

What is the key to your success?
The key to our success seems to me to be in our team, in our know-how and in the way we treat our users. We are a company with a projection of improvement and future where we like to do things well.
We offer help and recovery to the elderly to prevent dependency, generate employment and reduce health care costs.

It makes us different that:
- We recover the elderly with physical activity at home.
In addition, we are based on a program awarded at European level for its effectiveness and results in elderly people. - We help at a social level, to maintain the state of health and autonomy of the elderly so that they do not fall into dependency, thus reducing the health expenditure involved at the national level.
What is your turnover?
Our business volume is growing little by little, we have been in business for a year and we consider that we have just started.
We work 3 people in the center and we have a team of monitors who perform the services.
In addition, we hire external companies for consulting, social media, advertising… and whatever needs arise!

Why did you choose TIMP?
How did you work before?
We used to use other similar management software… and in my case I have come to use very different ones!
In the end, TIMP was the one that best suited our needs and that is why we opted for it.
How has your way of working changed?
I and another person are in charge of working with the program.
Although we have only been using it for a short time and we are still learning to use all its options, it is very agile and the customer service is well thought out.

In addition, apart from constantly implementing improvements, they listen to people’s proposals, which I think is good and in the interest of both parties.
Don't fall behind!
