After fighting with myself to regain hope and motivation, I decided to go online in search of someone who, hopefully, would understand my health issues, and I found Jennifer!

I was so very impressed with her background and the testimonials on her website, that I called my cousin to say that I felt I had found the key to attaining my goals.  My cousin said, “She’s the person who I have been raving about to you for the past year, as she is my trainer, too!”  My cousin has a history of mobility issues and would never have continued with a rehab therapist if she had not experienced results. 

Signing up with Jennifer has been the “turn around” for my health and my outlook on life.  I am 68 years old, with fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis.  Within the past six years, I have had a C1-C2 spinal fusion, two back-to-back hip replacements, and now am in need of rotator cuff surgery. 

Over the past few months, I had lost my motivation and had become so deconditioned that I was unable to get up off the floor without the assistance of a chair to grasp.  A few months ago I tripped on the street, and a stranger actually stopped his car, and helped me up and over to the sidewalk.  It was a frightening realization of my weakness, as well as an emotionally crushing episode. 

I have only been working with Jennifer for the past two months, and I am now able to use the strength I have developed to lift myself up from the floor to a standing position!  It feels like a miracle, but the reality is that with Jen’s thorough assessment, she has developed a personal program that truly focuses on my complicated needs – a successful plan with which I am increasing balance, functionality, and independence. 

I have a trip planned in the next two months, and I look forward to it with encouragement and confidence.  I know my balance will continue to improve, my legs will continue to get stronger, and that I will have the stamina and aerobic conditioning that is necessary for me to travel now and to live independently for the future.
