I am truly thankful for Josh’s positive influence on my life.
I read about the opening of Lourdes Health and Fitness, specifically noting the focus on medical integration with wellness. My physical challenges and chronic back pain precluded active exercise, even just walking. My husband of forty-five years had recently passed away. Although I had a new grandson, born three months after my husband’s death, I was seriously depressed.
Amber, the nurse who performed my initial assessment, was very intuitive. At the end of our session, she called to ask if Josh was on-site. She introduced us, and I had an appointment with my Personal Trainer within minutes.
Ashamed of where I was physically and emotionally, I did not enjoy the initial interview. We established very basic goals: improved balance, decreased pain, and increased endurance to keep up with my grandson, who was just starting to walk. My performance during the physical assessment certainly demonstrated a need for improvement.
Flash forward eighteen months. My balance, strength, and endurance have improved, and my emotional well-being has drastically improved. Josh has the happiest, most effervescent personality of anyone I have known. He is an incredibly knowledgeable and observant trainer. I appreciate his listening to my dislikes of specific equipment or exercises and making modifications to appease me while still attaining my goals. He is able to correct my form, posture, and performance with well-chosen words or a demonstration that is never critical. I have even caught him increasing equipment weight while I was distracted, albeit with a wink and a smile.
I sincerely look forward to my appointments. Were it not for Josh, I would have stopped exercising months ago.
Thank you, Amber, for selecting Josh to be my Personal Trainer.
Thank you, Josh, for caring.
