A year ago I got focused and started working out on a regular basis. I made some progress, lost a little weight but wasn’t really seeing any muscle definition or feeling any more fit. While I was consistently putting the exercise time in, I really didn’t know how to make the most of my workouts. Lucky for me I was given Amy’s name for massage therapy and soon found out that she was a personal trainer as well. I decided to give personal training a try. I mean if your car is broken down, you take it to a mechanic right? So it made sense that I needed to go to a fitness expert to get my body into shape.
I am so glad I did! Working with Amy has made ALL the difference in the world! In three months, I have seen amazing results! I have triceps that you can see (and trust me, they’ve never been seen before), I completed a 5k (running) and I have more energy and endurance than ever before. It’s not magic, it’s hard, focused work — which is why Amy’s attitude, confidence, skill and encouragement are all so vital to the process. I could not have accomplished so much on my own. It took finding the right person to motivate, educate and coach me in order to see such success.
Amy has helped me to realize within myself the priceless gifts of strength, courage, endurance and confidence! This is much more than I’d dreamed of — having only had the goal of fitting into next summers’ bathing suit when I’d started. Truth is, I’m enjoying this journey much more because it’s changing my life for the better!
Thank you Amy!
Approximately six months ago, following much chiding from my daughter, I began a series of weight-lifting and cardiovascular workouts with Amy Woods.
Because I suffer from both Peripheral Neuropathy as well as debilitating arthritis in my feet, I wanted someone who understood my body, not just in terms of a good workout but from a holistic medical point of view. I found what I was looking for and much more in Amy Woods.
She personalizes my workouts, leading me through strengthening exercises that she carefully monitors to be certain they do not tax my body in negative ways. Her R.N. experience, her vast knowledge in the health and fitness field as well as her personal caring ways, have provided me with the confidence to continue striving toward health.
Today, I can easily lift my body weight from the bottom of the bathtub with my arm strength. I couldn’t do that six months ago.
