It was a tough pill to swallow as a former college athlete and I was not ready to hang them up just yet! My initial reservations were due to the fact that I was afraid I would not be able to do the things I used to be able to do. Mike's progression through his individualized training have me back in a healthy place and allow me to compete again on the lacrosse field.

Rachel built a workout routine for me especially for tennis. With that we worked on cardio, (aerobic and anaerobic fitness), along with footwork, legs, core and upper body strength. Rachel was very supportive while working out and was very knowledgeable about fitness, and achieving fitness goals. I would strongly recommend Rachel to anyone who wants to achieve a fitness goal.

For over 10 years, I have been slowly recovering from an upper back/shoulder injury. During this…read moretime, I have seen multiple physical therapists, muscular therapists, and personal trainers. They have helped me to manage pain, build muscle and get me to a safe place of doing activities of daily living (ADLs) without re-injury. ADL's like throwing a ball for my dog, holding a blower dryer to dry my hair, reaching for a hanger, and reaching for a food item in my kitchen cupboard. I always had to be very self-conscious when reaching or holding my hand above my head as the slightest movement could cause one of my ribs in my upper back to dislocate. I used to be a runner and competed in races. I had to stop because my upper body wasn't strong enough to support my running form. My shoulder would fatigue quickly and I would reinjure myself. Working with Rachel during these past couple of months have been transformative for me. She is the first trainer to push me beyond my safe limits, help me increase my confidence, get me to feel stronger, and convince me that I can be stronger. I used to see physical activity as a chore to deal with pain management and get through the day safely. I now see physical activity as a way of living to be stronger. I can see myself on my way of becoming an athlete again. The self-conscious part of me still exists when I think about reaching my hand above my head but I'm not as fearful as I was. This is huge considering I'm 43 years old. I thought at my age it was not possible for me to gain my athletic life back and I'm on my way of doing so.

Just wish the management actually cared and was proactive.
