Brain Fitness exercises “wake up your brain”
just like physical fitness exercises “wake up your body"
In early 2020, Tee and Paul Barr were prevented by the global coronavirus pandemic from presenting any of their well-established Southern California-based Brain Fitness programs. Recognizing the needs of our longtime clients, we began to develop this website to reach them and many others in a more widely accessible format. Using today’s popular video conferencing technologies combined with our website, we are excited to present this new platform dedicated to your cognitive well-being. Now you, your family, and caregivers are able to easily integrate Brain Fitness and Wake Up Your Brain!

You Can't Remember
Something You Don't Know!
A: Research studies have found that cognitive stimulation, which we refer to as “waking up your brain,” helps in fighting and slowing down the progression of dementia. We offer many different Brain Fitness exercises that stimulate the six cognitive domains of the brain:
- Short-Term Memory involves questions like “Where did I put my keys?” (and begins to challenge us anywhere from age 30 to 50)
- Long-Term Memory involves past knowledge, including memorization (such as recalling the Pledge of Allegiance)
- Critical Thinking involves the ability to analyze and make decisions (“Should I bring an umbrella on my walk?”)
- Visuospatial involves seeing spatial relationships between objects (“Is there enough room for me to walk around the couch without tripping over it?”)
- Language involves reading, comprehension, and word use (the ability to understand what you read, say, and hear)
- Calculation involves anything to do with numbers or mathematical thinking (“How much is that 50% off sale going to save me?”)
Simply put, Brain Fitness exercises “wake up your brain”
like Body Fitness exercises “wake up your body”
A: Have you ever walked into a room and forgotten why you went in there?
Perhaps the cause was that an area of your brain was sleeping…maybe you were distracted or worrying about something else. What we have witnessed over and over again is that stress and memory DO NOT get along at all! The way to fix this? Waking up your brain by engaging the six areas of cognitive function!
We have helped our clients (always with humor!) better understand the situations of forgetfulness that they are not always able to recognize themselves. While presenting our programs, we explain in several different ways why distractions play a big part in forgetfulness and that FOCUS IS KEY to remembering and waking up your brain.
A: Our Brain Fitness program is inspired by many years of practical experience using the clinically proven dakim® BrainFitness™ system.
Since 2008, we have offered:
- Focus groups (5 to 20 participants)
- Large groups (25 to 50 participants)
- One-to-one individual sessions
- Training for caregivers and families
One of the phrases used throughout our programs, no matter what the cognitive level of participants, is that Focus is Key… You can’t remember something you don’t know!
