“At first I was reluctant to be the August Wellness member of the month as there is a shy and private side of me that does not want to be in the spotlight.
After thinking it over though, I wanted so many people to know about this wonderful wellness center. It is so much more than just a gym!<\/p>\n
I had a total knee replacement on 2\/28\/2023. I had excellent PT follow up.
My physical therapist swims here at Active Wellness and she highly recommended that I look into it. I had 2 visitors during my early knee recovery that were also members here. Again, the center came highly recommended.<\/p>\n
I came to an open house in April 2023 and loved the positive atmosphere, the professional staff and the cleanliness of the facility. I especially liked the idea of doing my post op knee exercises in the warm pool.<\/p>\n
I began personal training with the very dedicated and knowledgeable trainer Dylan Simkins. I wanted to be very safe with my new knee. Dylan showed me both safety on the equipment and a safe post op progression of exercises.<\/p>\n
I am working on improving my balance and strengthening my legs. I came in on 2 walking sticks. I am now down to 1 walking stick as my balance improves.<\/p>\n
I am so touched by the kindness of so many members of all ages as they offer to open doors and move equipment for me during my workouts.<\/p>\n
I am a late bloomer. This is a whole new chapter for me at 77. I had a grand career for 48 years as a bedside nurse which I dearly loved, but now I need to focus on my own general wellness and knee recovery.<\/p>\n
At first I was pretty hard on myself for starting this so late in life… should have taken better care of myself when I was younger etc….<\/p>\n
I now know that I cannot dwell or get stuck in the past. I am beyond blessed with today and I am moving forward.
Bravo to the entire Active Wellness Center staff. You truly are 5 stars!!”<\/p>\n
Sincerely,
Barb Kennedy<\/p>\n
