PERSONAL TRAINING SUCCESS STORY

Rita worked with a personal trainer years ago but had trouble sticking with regular exercise, and was frustrated with her weight gain, a degenerative knee condition, chronic back pain following a surgery, and a loss of upper body strength. Indeed, who wouldn’t be frustrated by all this? In addition, fitting fitness in from April through September, the busy months for her business, posed a significant challenge for Rita. Getting healthy habits started in January, Rita and Jane began with a Polar heart rate monitor to ensure the proper intensity of cardiovascular workouts here in the facility and during planned outdoor walks and hikes. With one day a week of supervised weight training, incorporating modifications for her knees and back, one more day of weight training on her own, and another day or two of cardio per week, Rita is receiving all kinds of compliments from friends and family on her progress! She’s lost nearly 4% body fat, taken inches off almost all her circumference measurements, and improved her upper body strength, core performance, and overall flexibility (even her back and knees). Rita is making fitness a priority and maintaining a healthy schedule even during her busy season.

Measurable results add up to powerful, healthy motivation. Ask at the front desk how personal training can work for you.
