You start with basic exercises to determine initial limitations. Then you work up to a wide range of cardio and strength training exercises.

We also cater to adults of all ages and sizes including many seniors.

According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, strengthening exercises are both safe and effective for women and men of all ages, including those with health concerns. Those suffering from heart disease or arthritis stand to benefit the most when a fitness routine includes strength training at least twice a week. Adding cardio routines and balance techniques will also help prolong life expectancy by 3.7 years.

She is scheduled for personal endurance and weight training twice a week, where she receives an hour of focused one-on-one training.

In less than a year, she has noticed increased energy and a much better sleep pattern.
