Cheryl Hunt

Dear Scott and Kristie, As you know I am nearing the end of my 6 month fitness journey with you. I just wanted to say Thanks for all the personalized attention and to let you know how grateful I am that I took this leap of faith as it has made the biggest difference in my life. I not only gained a strong and healthy body, but I gained a friend as well.

Wow, I look back on where I was in October of last year when I started and can’t believe I’ve come so far in this short amount of time. Due to my arthritis, a few accidents, and just getting older, my active lifestyle was becoming less and less of a joy. I suffered with constant pain and relied more and more on pain meds to help me do the things I’d so loved in the past. In my profession as an artist it required that I carry heavy construction ladders around and frankly I got tired of being enslaved to ice packs and hot tubs at the end of each day. I needed better muscle functionality for the things I was demanding of my body.

I was spending $180.00 /wk for massage therapy on top of the $65.00/wk for Chiropractic adjustments to be able to endure my upper back pain. This I had done for over 4 month’s before coming to you. That comes out to $980.00 a month. That’s a lot of cash. I really hesitated to commit to another expense right then but I figured I couldn’t afford NOT to, as I was not getting much in the way of results. So I cancelled all of my upcoming appointments and signed up with you. It’s turned out to be the best investment I’ve ever made on my health with the biggest payback. After only 1 week of doing those upper body twisty exercises you gave me, 2 times a day, I no longer had the pain in my back. I still can hardly believe it was gone so fast, and it stayed gone too. I finally got the quality of sleep I had been deprived of for so long.

I used to go thru a prescription of #30 Vicodin in 30 days. I nearly fainted when I went to refill my last Rx and noticed that those 30 pills had lasted me over 3 ½ months. I had hardly taken any meds in all those months. Wow what a miracle for me.

And Scott, for all those times I whined and cried to you for making me so sore the next day and pushing me so hard, Thanks! I actually gave my husband a good run for his money on our ski vacation last month. For the first time in our 13 yrs of skiing together I actually heard him say “Man, I thought you were never gonna stop”. Oh happy day; especially since I fell down those stairs on Nov 1st and tore my MCL. I honestly thought that for me, skiing was over for the rest of this year. I’m so glad you did the rehab on that knee as well because I surpassed the Doctors recovery time by 6 whole months. That in itself is a fine testimonial for your knowledge and skill as a great strength training instructor as my knee is strong and just as good as new. What a relief not to have to worry about what activities I should and shouldn’t do, I feel confident now. That’s peace of mind that money just can’t buy.

Oh yes Scott, I almost forgot. In June when I finally get into that bikini for our Hawaiian vacation I will be sure to send you a snap shot of that momentous occasion.

Your happy client, Cheryl Hunt

Testimonials

  • The marvelous facility that Scott and Kristie designed and created is the perfect place to start or maintain your commitment to health and fitness.   I love the pool and worked with Kristie to overcome some flexibility problems with my cranky neck.   On one occasion, I was in the pool which was, of course, the perfect temperature, and it was snowing big, fat flakes outside.  It was heaven.

  • Another great day out there! Just got the 1st apple pie of the season out of the oven. Hmmmm! You and Scott are the best that's has happened to us here out in the country. By the way--bought new jeans and I'm down a pant size.Wa Hoo! Have a great day Smiles

  • Swim lessons have really paid off.  Tenley has been a little waterbug on our vacation.  She's even diving to the bottom to get her dive sticks.  We were helping her at first but than she'd dive under and use her arms and legs to get to the bottom.

    Melanie

  • Thanks Scott and Kristie, for making me strong again. I am back to 18 months ago strong [probably stronger] but in addition the shoulder and back pain that I have had for 4 years is under control. I sleep without pain all night.
