Got Your Back

Working with Jason WORKED! With his guidance and knowledge, and my sweat, I overcame back and hip problems that had bothered me for years. And now I'm in the best shape I've been in for years. I could have joined a gym, but I wanted to be sure I was doing the right exercises the right way, and I wanted the best probability that I'd meet my goals. Jason has been my partner in helping me accomplish my health goals!

Been there almost every day since its opening. Like the machines. Get a good workout and the staff is super friendly.

In a nutshell, Jason is the best!nnAt 50, my body decided that sciatic nerve pain was something it was gonna do, and it did not seem interested in my thoughts about it at all! Suddenly, simply shifting my weight, sitting the wrong way, or bending or reaching would elicit a shooting pain down my right buttock and leg, painful enough to cause me to catch my breath. I was trying to stay active, walking and rowing 3x/week, and now that appeared to be too tall an order. I got chiropractic adjustments for 2 months, tried acupuncture, used a TENS unit, rubbed a variety of analgesic topicals on my lower back, and downed Aleve day and night just to get by.nnI knew from researching that my best bet for reducing my symptoms, delaying worsening, and staying active was strengthening and stabilizing my low back and core. But with my condition, doing the wrong things, or doing the right things with bad form, could actually make me worse! So I turned to Jason. I’d worked out with Jason in the past to help me get in better shape and lose weight. But I knew his background in post-surgery and post-rehab exercise, and he had seen me through 2 sprained ankles and low back pain before, so I felt confident that he could help me. I wasn’t just right about that – my outcome has exceeded my expectations! When I started back with Jason I was on the path to having injections in my low back for the pain. But after about 4 months, I was largely free of the shooting nerve pain and my general low back pain wasn’t as bad. I no longer take Aleve every day to function.nnI have remained active and can engage in most things I want to do, keeping in mind how to move properly to avoid problems. And I’ve not had to schedule any injections! Jason targets every single workout toward my goal, and manages to ensure that he raises my heart rate and I leave sweaty on all but my worst days. He is always responsive to how I am feeling that day, pays attention to how my body responds to each motion, and modifies where necessary, on the spot. I know I am in good hands and will not leave worse off – he pays attention, is extremely knowledgable, and tracks your progress to ensure he is maximizing what you can do without causing any harm. Jason is an awesome choice for anyone wanting a good workout – he is experienced, knowledgable, dedicated, and motivating without the mania. But if you are recovering from a back injury, or are compromised in some way (like so many of us beyond our 20’s are!), you couldn’t find a better person to work with. And the fact that he’s a personable, fun guy is icing on the cake.
