FROM MARTI: I have been working out at ChrisFit with Chris for several weeks now. I have some special circumstances, in regards to my health. Due to a disease I have, in the last year, I have had my broken ankle, achilles tendon, and rotator cuff surgically repaired. After having been basically bedridden, for most of this time, I knew I needed to reclaim my body. I joined a $10 a month gym. While I was sitting there riding the exercise bike, I stared at the weights, knowing that I needed to rebuild my muscles too. I didn't know how to go about it, let alone do it with my injuries. I was VERY intimidated. I had never worked with weights before, in the right way. So my choices were I could sit
there on my tush and ride the exercise bike by myself for the cardio
part of a workout and probably lose weight or get a professional to help me. I knew I didn't want to learn all this in front of a bunch of strangers. I wanted something private, someone I trusted, and someone that knew how to work with my circumstances. I did my research (Those of you who know me, know that I probably overdid my research!) and found ChrisFit Gym. It is easy to get to and I feel safe in the private environment.
The first week, I hurt as I got
used to it all. Now my body is getting the hang of it and I am
feeling great about it. When Saturday rolls around my body feels like it is missing something, because I am not at ChrisFit working out! That is a new sensation for me!
Chris has been
great about working around, and with my ankle and shoulder. I can feel them getting stronger. Before we started my program, Chris even went and met
with my physical therapist to see exactly what my limitations were. He has been
very patient with me as I rebuild a stronger, thinner, & healthier me. I feel great with the goals we set and the nutrition plan we came up with for my special dietary needs. He is very respectful of my privacy and time. It is also great to have someone encouraging me to do my best, but not pushing so hard that I will hurt myself!
I KNOW, you should at least take the time for the initial FREE
consultation. See the equipment you will be working with and meet with one of the staff like Chris. It isn't so
scary once you have a guide beside you. You have nothing to lose,
except weight; and everything to gain, like your self-esteem, feeling
better physically, and of course looking better/healthier.
So yes, I am highly
recommending Chrisfit Gym... Great job Chris!!
Thank you for your help and patience.
