I never planned on having a stroke at 47 years old. I needed to walk again, I needed to use my…read moreright arm again. I needed to drive again. I was determined.   After the initial care I received, I stopped making progress.  I continued looking for someone who could help me.  I tried physical therapy for stroke rehab but was doing the same thing every time and getting nowhere.  I even tried hyperbaric chambers, all sorts of nutrition and supplements.  Something wasn't working.  My right shoulder, elbow, hand and fingers were useless.  My arm was forever bent at the elbow and wouldn't swing when I walked.  Doctors had me using a device that would make my ankle bend when I walked because it wouldn't do it on its own.   I was using a cane to walk and getting rides and taking Uber everywhere.  My independence had faded.  I needed someone that wasn't just going to follow what insurance dictates. I needed someone to look at me as an individual with a unique situation to help find my unique way to get better.   I needed a change.   I started researching and interviewing people.  I was stuck between traditional medical solutions and the fitness world.  I was speaking to trainers who thought that exercising me was the solution.  That's all physical therapy was already doing.  I finally found Jay at Symmetry.  I had never heard of "Muscle System Care" so I wondered how helpful it could be.  I was also forced to realize everything that I had heard of, wasn't helping.  I went to talk to him with many thoughts and questions. "I have a lot of challenges, can he help me?  Will he motivate me and push me? Does he really understand how complicated recovery is?  How can something I've never heard of help me?"    Today I no longer use that electric stim on my ankle when I walk.  I no longer use a cane.  I use my arm and hand to open jars, pick up and hold things, and carry my purse - normal, everyday things.    People ask me if I broke my leg or what happened.  No one ever thinks I had a stroke anymore.  Every visit to my neurologist he tells me he's happy with my progress and that I should continue with Jay.  Sometimes it's challenging when I see new people come in to see Jay and have their issues resolved so quickly, but they just come in with pain. I came in when no one else could help.  And while its been a long road and there's still a longer one ahead, I'm thankful I finally found someone that could help when no doctor, therapist or specialist could.

Symmetry is a small personal training center that is NOTHING like big corporate gyms. Walking into…read moreSymmetry is like walking into Cheers because everyone who works there knows you and genuinely cares about you. I can't come up with a good TV show analogy for interacting with other clients and it's hard to describe how you end up feeling supported and supportive of another client working out across the room but you do. There is something about Symmetry that makes everyone feel comfortable, relaxed, and included and that is so unusual in the best way. It's something you'll feel when you walk in the door. And fair warning, you can also expect to have Jay throw something at you as you walk in and yet strangely, you look forward to it. The best way to get a sense of what it's like to be a Symmetry client is to take advantage of the free consultation offer. But if you're like me & want a sense before u set foot inside the door then u should check out the testimonials on their website. I tried to cut & paste mine here but it exceeded the text limit! Actually everybody should read the testimonials. When u look at their testimonials you will see the diversity of the clientele and how much we care about the gym & our respective trainers. The testimonials offer a very detailed and genuine peek into the gym so to speak. It's rare for a gym to get so many clients to actually write out testimonial -- even rarer for them to be so open and personal. That's true with respect to Facebook too. How many gym's have pages that customers actively engage with? They go beyond sharing just fitness info and celebrate their clients on that page & their clients appreciate it (yes, I am speaking from experience ). Symmetry is a like personalized gym community -- whoever u train with is going to work WITH you to accomplish YOUR goals. Everybody at the gym is going to cheer you on whatever those may be.

The coaches are great and really strive to make it a great atmosphere and focus on each individual member to help them attain their goals. I always leave each workout with a sense of accomplishment and a smile on my face. This gym is truly one of its own kind and I highly suggest everyone give it a shot. Not only will you see results but gain friendships with positive likeminded people. Go tribe!
