Owner Marc Gotthard is the premiere trainer in the Harrisburg/Carlisle/Mechanicsburg area. Each…read moreworkout is designed not only for you as an individual, but for you as you are feeling that day. Better than a physical therapist, Marc is so keyed into anatomy, physiology, body mechanics, nutrition, lifestyle habits, than he can reverse chronic problems like carpal tunnel syndrome, joint issues, anything that ails you. I have severe osteoporosis and I have experienced a decline in bone loss during the years I have worked with him and without ever being sore or uncomfortable, an incredible increase in strength, endurance, flexibility and well being. Besides helping aging Boomers like me, Marc trains athletes, young and old, managing batting cages and a state of the art golf facility on site. His studio in Carlisle is hard to find, but worth the effort. Call for a free consultation and tour.

Clean and a decent functional area HOWEVER they refuse to fix the air bikes (I've been asking for…read moremonths), they don't let you use dumbbells in the functional area (anyone else do devils presses or dumbbell cleans/snatches?). Just a bunch of really dumb rules. Shoes... really? Most people do deadlifts in socks because that's what's SAFE. Deadlifting in shoes is a great way to pull the old back. Yeah, I get you don't want people walking around in socks but to perform a movement in one place is perfectly reasonable. Please fix your bikes. Some of us are limited in what cardio equipment we can use. Also, look into a new leg press and adductor/abductor machines. They don't give full range. The leg press forces sheer force on the knees that's super painful. It's pretty much unusable if you have any OA in your knees.

The staff at the Carlisle YMCA childcare center lacks many things.. They are all young volunteers…read moreor young "teachers" who have no children of their own to offer real life experience. Communication amongst the center is terrible. Everyone will say how wonderful your child is & then the director will send you a nasty message bringing something to your attention you weren't even aware of.. save your time & money. Unless you want your child to be thrown on the playground with children of all ages ranging from 1-5 years old for most of the day with their expectation of them all acting right... They are good at throwing parties for the kids but god forbid a 1 year old doesn't know how to properly regulate their emotions or have better impulse control they'll start making accusations that your kid has a developmental problem... not to mention, after having our son evaluated by his doctor he was certain the daycare was the issue & insinuated they were not equipped to handle children's normal developmental behaviors. Most importantly, the fact that the directors daughter was starting in our sons class was the prime reason he was kicked out after being given SEVEN days to turn his behavior around, A ONE YEAR OLD. The situation is laughable, since it's clear they don't know how to handle the children at their center. While they only had 3 students in his classroom, the new center we recently switched to has 16 & they truly know how to handle each and every one of them all at the same time!

I found Athena in 2017. By sheer luck, I happened to find the most wonderful, perfect humans and…read moretrainers there. Let me tell you my story. They (Megan -- and now Meghan, too) have loved me and trained my unruly, fat, deconditioned, broken, unique, just-as-it-is body and taught me to use it and taught me just how strong and resilient it is. I had NO idea what I was doing when I found them. I learned everything from scratch. They taught me that exercise shouldn't HURT. They trained me (and others) through the Pandemic and remotely while I was in DC for two years -- in a 400 sq ft apartment where Megan couldn't see me half the time. Then I came back to Carlisle with Long COVID. And my even MORE unruly, rebellious body. They figured out Post-exertional malaise (PEM) and chronic fatigue with me (and yes, that's very, very real). We have worked through locked up joints and hypermobile joints. And POTS. Oh, a car crash and a couple concussions And we figured out how to train a new body -- literally. Everything was different. We fucked up A LOT -- and experimented together. I spent a lot of time on the floor. There were a lot of tears. And a lot of swear words. And some really silly moments, and some really stupid ones. And there was that treadmill disaster. But there have been an awful lot of victories, too. I can sometimes get things off of shelves. I went kayaking a few weeks ago. I can walk about half a mile without stopping if it's not too hot outside. (I used to walk 5 or 6 for fun.) I am lifting serious weights again. My cardio stamina on a stationary bike is so vastly improved from a couple years ago I feel like a different person (although I still have a looong road ahead on balance and walking). I can almost lift my arms above my head. These are huge wins. And it's because when trainers are good, they are very, very good. And the Meg(h)and are the best there are. They know when to push and when to back off. They know how to challenge and inspire. They celebrate wins and hold space for fear and sadness. And they help us create community as we learn to live in and live our bodies. It's pretty freaking spectacular.
