Testimonials

A few years ago, I took it upon myself to start getting in shape. I had become morbidly obese and really didn't care about my body. I started training with Tiffany and eventually I ran the Run to Home Base with some fabulous ladies and it lit a fire under me to try harder to lose fat and become fit, losing around 80 pounds.

Excellent! Welcoming staff! I've been coming here for almost a year now, I do cardio kickboxing and Zumba-absolutely love it! Staff is encouraging, they keep it real and simple to attain goals. Diverse audience, making it a comfortable environment. If you are local, I highly suggest you check this studio out! They have competitive prices and make it about you! I wouldn't go anywhere else

I'm very fortunate to have met Tiffany about 1 1/2 years ago. I was in desperate need of help for my arthritic knees and was experiencing extreme limitation of motion and could not bend my knees at all. Tiffany was very professional and designed a program that considered all of my issues. I could not be happier -thanks Tiffany.

Why do I use a personal trainer?
What I seek: Fitness in Parkinson's Disease
What we do: balance exercises such as Bulgarian split squat; core exercises such as seated slow jackknife and flagpole; and, non-contact boxing exercises.
I am also a 15-year practitioner of yoga (flexibility, balance, breathing).
Parkinson's disease is a progressive neuromuscular disorder that is typically associated with older individuals.
The main symptoms of Parkinson's disease include difficulty in initiating movements (akinesia) and slowness and difficulty in maintaining movements (bradykinesia).
Other common symptoms associated with PD include postural instability, which encompasses lack of balance and stooped posture as well as muscle tremors. Seeing as this disease is caused by a lack of the neurotransmitter dopamine, there is a considerable amount of medical literature indicating that a moderate-intensity exercise program can be beneficial, due to the increase in dopamine levels that occur in response to exercise.
In my personalized training with Tiffany, my fitness plan includes:
• stretching;
• strengthening; and,
• aerobic conditioning.
Stretching is important in people with PD. Stretching combats rigidity, which is a primary symptom of PD, as well as increases flexibility, which can help in everyday movements. Stretching can also help in improving range of motion, posture, and circulation and release muscle tension.
In individuals with PD, strength training not only helps improve posture and stability but also helps develop bone strength, decreasing the risk of fracture.
One of the interesting ways we emphasize aerobic conditioning is through non-contact boxing. Shadow boxing with the instructor helps with hand-eye coordination and reflexes. And throwing punches at the instructor/sparring partner or at a heavy bag is fantastic cardio exercise.
I am a believer in "Movement is life" and my experience in working with Tiffany and my personalized exercise program has been rewarding. After regular sessions both with my personal trainer and in group classes, I feel stronger and I notice that my muscle tremors are reduced. I look upon the balance exercises are valuable to holding back the Parkinson's. And an emphasis on strengthening the core muscles of my body keeps me from lower back pain.
