Always In Motion

I was diagnosed with Parkinsons about 5 years ago. The ensuing years have not been fun with symptoms I was unable to control ,even with the help of many medications and a wonderful neurologist. My body became stiffer and my balance problems made it difficult to walk a straight line. Then I heard about a personal trainer named Kelly Isaacs. With a Phd in Exercise and specific training in Parkinsons , she has guided and encouraged me through an exercise program that has dramatically improved my symptoms, even my neurologist has noticed vast and unexpected improvements. She is a phenomenal personal trainer !

Lori Isaacs in less than half a year has transformed my body and my mental outlook. I came to her at 58 overweight with a variety of aches and pains, including sciatica and knee pain. She expertly evaluated my condition and then carefully constructed a series of ever-evolving workouts that push me with a variety of natural strength and TRX resistance drills. I look and feel like a new person. I am pain free and my body has been sculpted. I still cheat quite a bit with my diet but that is beyond Lori's control, haha. Lori is also very kind, a great listener--super intuitive. I really appreciate the time she puts into planning everyone's training schedules. She mixes it up so the body never gets bored with the same routines. I haven't worked with other AIM trainers but my husband now does and in a short time already has greater strength and reduced sciatica pain. I've worked with at least three other professional trainers over the years, including Matt Damon's former trainer. None of them have been able to deliver the same results as AIM.

Although I'm very impressed with everyone in this organization, I will confine my comments to Kelly, with whom I just finished 21 training sessions. I was hoping to get Kelly as a trainer because I would see her train with other Hoag Center clients and she was so incredibly attuned, empathic, and positive in her outlook. I found her to be very well-trained, professional, and yet caring with a good sense of humor. I was impressed with how much she seemed to think about my needs between sessions, and how well-prepared she was to implement fresh ideas. I hope to return to work with her in the spring. From my 36-year tenure in the healthcare field at USC, UCLA, and the VA, I've known many OT's and PT's in aging. Kelly is among one of the finest I've ever known.

Review of Always in Motion physical therapy. As an 86-year-old male, I could not walk without having a deep fear of falling. My balance was terrible and I had to rely on a walker to get by. Neuropathy robbed me of feeling anything but pain in my calves. After several falls requiring the aid of the Huntington Beach Emergency Response Team, I decided to enlist the aid of a balance specialistone of my good decisions. Justin Isaacs showed up on my doorstep. He was very personable. Justin explained the long-term and short-term plans for improving my balance. We went to work on all of my balance systems, improving my posture and strengthening my leg muscles. Working with Justin has been not only pleasurable but also productive. He has a great sense of humor. He has never been late for a session, and when necessary, he will deviate from a planned lesson to explain or provide demonstrations of ancillary exercises. His training paid off dividends for me recently when I fell in my house. I managed to get myself up by following the lessons Justin had instilled in me. If I had to point out any shortfalls in Justin, it is that hes captured the heart of my dog who just loves him.
