Inner Strength: Personal Training

This is an update I'm coming up on 3 1/2 yrs here at Inner Strength, and it's been the best decision I made after moving from the city. I want to give a huge shout out to this fabulous family. Ryan InnerStrength Claire InnerStrength Matt InnerStrength Tyler Alan Bordick aka Doc Jessica InnerStrength. I have literally gotten my life back. I can get up and down off the floor without a problem, I'm up to 6 mile hikes. I can ride my bike for 20 miles, no problem. Cleaning the tub, a breeze and it used to be painful. Hanging a shower curtain holding your arms up that long... not a problem anymore. It's not about how much you weigh or how skinny you are. it's about being able to do everyday life chores. I'm so happy I found this gym/family. We have each other backs and encourage each other daily. There is no comparison unless it's to yourselve. We have picnics and trivia nights and also do good things for the community. I'm not good with pictures, so I don't have a before and now, but I'm down a solid 30 pounds and many inches. If you are ready to make a change, this is the place! Also, I've met and have become friends with some amazing peeps. 20-month update... If you are ready for a lifestyle change, this is the place. Inner Strength is not just a gym, it's family. They are there every step of the way to help you reach your goals. I started out with neck, back, hip issues, lack of energy, and motivation. I am now 25 lbs lighter, have built muscle, and I have way more energy. I am back hiking, biking, and have participated in a couple of 5K's. I realized the difference when my daughter told me I needed to buy new clothes that fit. I hated shopping for myself before, but not that time. I LOVED it. I will continue to work on making myself stronger and healthier with the help of the Inner Strength team, which consists of very educated coaches and a PT on staff. They make make modification in your workout if needed, and they also keep you on track with fun challenges every month. There is also a dietitian on staff for dietary help. During this crazy time with closures and changes, Inner Strength has stepped up and kept us going with Zoom classes and are always checking in on us. We are now back in the gym if you choose with changes there also because of covid. I can't wait until the day we can push the sled, punch the punching bag, high five, and HUG again, oh Trivia nights too! This is hard work and dedication. There is NO easy fix, but if you're ready for the change, this is definitely the place for it to happen. Give them a call. 03.19.2024 WOW, is all I can say. I am coming up on 6 years with InnerStrength, and I can not thank them enough for all the help with getting me strong and much healthier over the years. Down a solid 35 pounds and way stronger. I feel pretty confident in saying they are part of the reason I recovered from a total hip replacement in record time. I was told by my physical therapist that I needed to slow down and take time to heal from the surgery , even though I was ready to dance . My new hardware isn't. If you are serious about getting healthier and stronger, this is the place.

Before joining Inner Strength, I tried my local gym and also working out at home. I found those environments werent the best fit for me. As a former half marathon runner who took a few years off, I wanted to get active again and maintain a consistent strength building program. Ive experienced low back pain intermittently for years, and I knew regular exercise would help alleviate that inflammation and build the strength I needed to start running again. Inner Strength has been a great fit because it offers small group sessions with a personal trainer who is very hands on and tuned into your individual needs. The sessions are offered throughout the week and several times a day, which has been extremely helpful for making sure Im consistent with my weekly training. The trainers are friendly and upbeat, and I knew Inner Strength was the right place for me when I told my trainer that the workout session was the best part of my day. They make it easy to prioritize yourself and your health! I feel strong and proud to be an active member of the Inner Strength community. It truly feels like a family. My teenage daughter started a youth athlete program at Inner Strength first, and we have both enjoyed our programs. My low back pain is diminished and I feel stronger than ever. My daughter hasnt experienced any knee or ankle pain since starting her program at Inner Strength. We are so grateful that we heard about this amazing team, and we see a bright and healthy future for us both with no pain and renewed strength to participate in all the activities we enjoy.

Prior to coming to Inner Strength I had undergone Cervical Spinal Surgery which drastically limited my mobility. I had also gained a significant amount of weight from being in chronic pain and living a sedentary lifestyle. I was looking to build strength, reduce pain, and (hopefully) lose weight. What is different about Inner Strength is that it truly feels like a family due to its small size and feeling that you dont have to compete with other members. I appreciate that it is for those over 40, who are often facing a lot of the same changes and obstacles in life that come with age. About 2 months in, I really started noticing a visible change in my body. I also noticed that I was no longer in pain and I was able to physically do things that I hadnt been able to do in years. Im hopeful that in the future I will not be limited in my mobility due to chronic pain. Im also hopeful to now continue succeeding in my weight loss journey.

When I started at Inner Strength 4 months ago, I felt I had lost all my energy and I didn't know if I could do these classes, but every week I started feeling stronger and better mentally and had more energy! I highly recommend them! All the staff are fantastic!

Before starting training at Inner Strength I had done the drastic diets, random workouts from apps, tried template based workouts from trainers that rarely checked in. Thats the thing that is different about Inner Strength; the workouts are the same during the month (each day of the week is a certain workout and they stay during the month) which lets you try to increase your weight or reps depending on the workout. Each day is also a different muscle group yet always includes core workouts. I also enjoy that the trainers have different intensities or modifications if you need them. I realized it was working when I actually enjoyed waking up early and going to the gym. I never enjoyed waking up to go exercise but the environment makes it desirable to get up and go. I am definitely going to gain confidence in myself and hopefully will be losing weight and inches. I am very content with how I have been doing at the gym and plan to make February a month where I transform myself to become the person I want to be.
