Lydia - Fitness21 Success Story

 

I have hemiplegia which is the severe or complete loss of motor function on one side of the body. So it is difficult for me to do the normal things that the average person can do.

The first day I came to Fitness 21 Michele asked me what the main difference was that I wanted to be able to see in myself within a year. I replied I would love to be able to walk independently again. I haven't been able to walk or get up from a seated position independently in three years.

She has been working out the muscles all over my body. We have focused on strengthening the muscles that assist me in walking and getting up from a seated position independently. Two days before I wrote this testimonial, I was at Fitness21 and my workout trainer Michele Hartmanasked me to get up by myself and stand independently. I followed her directions and stood up completely independently from my wheelchair. When I was standing on my ownMichele told me thatI had accomplished one of my goals in 3 months instead of a year.

I seriously can't even come close to explaining to you how working out at Fitness 21 with Michele has improved me physically, in strength and stamina. It has also improved my ability to do many things that the average person can do. Because of these improvements, I feel a lot happier and more confident. Thanks Michele and Fitness 21.
