Cindy Cifone

After completing the number of allowed sessions at the on-site Physical Therapy, I was at a loss as to how I would continue to gain strength and relieve lower back pain. I have a goal to transition from a walker to a cane and, in the future, to be walking freely. My Physical Therapist suggested that I might like the center. I took a tour, liked what I saw, and became a member. I also determined that a trainer would be beneficial. On June 12, 2024, I met with Cindy for the first time. I couldn’t have made a better match. Cindy is aware of my strengths and weaknesses. The sessions are never repetitive, and I know I have been making progress with Cindy’s encouragement. There are days when I don’t feel like going, but I always put my sneakers on and head out. And I am glad I do!

Since attending Cindy’s TRX training, I feel the best I’ve felt in a long time. She is a patient, informative trainer. I encourage anyone to sign up for one of her classes.

Our four-week experience with Cindy was positive and motivational. She adapted our workouts based on our needs and abilities. She encouraged us to increase our stamina and skill in each session. The group experience was fun, challenging, and improved our overall health and wellness. We’ll definitely sign up for another session with Cindy!

I now have more upper body strength, which makes my volunteer job much easier. Additionally, my increased lower body strength helps stabilize my hips.

I started training with Cindy to prepare for the Camino Frances, a 500-mile walk in Europe. She listened to my concerns and goals. Then she researched the best exercise for my particular needs, gave me options, and made it easy to adapt workouts to my schedule. I appreciated that she changed up the workouts and kept it from becoming boring. She was always encouraging and motivating during my sessions. Working with Cindy helped me to gain the strength and confidence to complete my walk successfully. I look forward to continue working with her. Thank you, Cindy!

Cindy is the best! She listened to my goals and devised a great plan to achieve them.
I am much stronger, and fitter, and my energy is way up! I never feel pushed too hard, just encouraged. I don’t dread my workouts anymore! She is very knowledgeable, responsive, and inspiring!

I have a volunteer position that requires lifting heavy bags, and before training with Cindy, it was a struggle! After three months with Cindy, I can easily lift them, which embarrasses some of the men!

Cindy is amazing! Her knowledge and patience have made my whole training experience fun and exciting. I have made significant progress and feel much stronger!

I had not worked out in a gym before joining Lourdes Heath & Fitness. I thought the equipment and environment were intimidating. Cindy dispelled those myths and made the gym approachable. She listened to my goals and built a routine to get me on the right path. I learned proper form on the machines before she migrated me to free weights. As my strength improved, she increased the weight to continue challenging me. I am 6 months into my transformation, and my commitment level remains high. I am stronger, more flexible, and my balance has improved. Cindy has a great deal to do with my success. She challenges me, motivates me, and holds me accountable.
