"I'm in my mid-60's and also have a congenital condition that affects all my joints. Finding equipment I can use and exercises I can do has always been a challenge, mostly because of issues I have with my hands and wrists. I decided to try working with a personal trainer to get some help figuring out what might work for me. I've been working with Sue T. for the past three months and the difference it has made can't be overstated. She has spent a great deal of effort carefully finding the things that work for me in a way that I could have never done on my own and it made a difference almost immediately. My flexibility and strength have improved and I honestly feel that it has dramatically changed what I feel like I'm physically capable of. For a person in their 60's, that's an amazing thing. It's been a wonderful mental boost to feel strong and in control of my well-being. Sue does not let me slack off, but is always conscious of what my limitations are. Working with her has been a pleasure and has made an enormous difference in my daily life." - Tisha
