Knowledgeable assessment; flexible in scheduling; answered all my preliminary questions. Trainers explain everything and encourage me. I have never much enjoyed exercising, but I enjoy these sessions because I just follow directions and put all my focus on doing the work. I don’t have to try to understand the machine operation or which weights or exercises are appropriate for my unique needs and health issues. It’s a physical process that is almost meditative in its simplicity. So I am extra motivated and feel I am in good hands. So far, this is one of the best life decisions I’ve made in a long time.
