Meet Stephen

Before

Meet Stephen, an 85-year-old semi retired snow bird. In this “before” photo, Prior to working with me Stephen had a bad fall, breaking three vertebrae in his lower back. He was in the hospital for two months (including two weeks of rehab). His family was told that he might not freely walk again and would need to install a "chair" lift to navigate the stairs at home. When Stephen and I began his training sessions they were focused on improving his balance.

After

In this “after” photo, Since starting our sessions together, Stephen has made remarkable strides. Through dedicated balance training, he has not only regained his stability but also achieved impressive milestones, such as marching confidently on a BOSU ball. This progress enabled us to expand his regimen to include strength training, focusing on building his upper body strength and core stability.

Results

Thanks to his commitment and hard work, Stephen is now able to cross his legs, get in and out of chairs independently, and exit his car with greater ease—tasks that were once challenging for him. He is also able to navigate stairs without the need for a chair lift. His improved mobility has allowed us to incorporate water aerobics into his routine, further enhancing his overall fitness. His family is thrilled to see him move more freely and live a more active life, demonstrating that even in his mid-80s, significant recovery and enhancement in quality of life are possible.

The results and outcomes of personal training programs can vary significantly from person to person. Factors such as initial fitness level, consistency in training, adherence to dietary recommendations, specific goals set, age, genetics, medical conditions, lifestyle, and stress levels all play a crucial role in the effectiveness of any fitness regimen. While I provide personalized guidance and support to help you achieve your fitness objectives, I cannot guarantee specific results.

Testimonial

  • I have found Nohemy to be quite intuitive and is able to encourage me to increase my exercise regiment without being "pushy" or "dogmatic". In other words, she encourages me to try new exercises that she knows I can do (but that I question my ability). While the first beginning sessions were focused on balance issues; the sessions for next year will add in core and upper body exercises. In summary, all of my family members and attendant physicians are quite pleased with my recovery progress. I certainly know that I am. Bless you Nohemy.
