A graduate of Holy Name High School in ’01, Tom was a standout athlete and varsity captain in both football and track. As a result of his hard work and dedication he was named All North Coast League, 1st Team in football as a free safety. He was also honored with a Plain Dealer Player of the Week as a free safety, kick returner and long snapper. At the end of his senior season he received the team’s prestigious “Namer Award” which is given to the player who most exemplifies teamwork and dedication.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.
