"I had always thought that personal trainers were for celebrities like Oprah. That it was a luxury only for the rich and famous. When my husband decided it was time to get back in shape and we purchased some new equipment I was concerned about getting injured. In the past, when I had worked out, I was left with injuries and frustration. You see, I’m not a spring chicken anymore. When we signed up for a 12-week program with Steve I was reluctant and unsure if I would be able to stick with it. Well, here I am 12 weeks later and I’m so happy! I feel like I have reached my goals and have enjoyed the program so much that I have convinced my husband to sign up for more sessions. It has been worth every penny and we have developed a routine that I hope will last for many years to come.

"Thank you Steve for your guidance. I’d recommend using him to anyone interested in getting back into shape. He tailored my program so that I felt very little pain and saw the pounds melting away after just a few weeks."

Update – Connie has lost 25 pounds. She has gone from a size 16 down to a size 6. Her waist went from 32 down to 26 and her BMI went from 34 to 22.

"I have really enjoyed and appreciate the time that I have spent with Steve. He has made the time I spend exercising enjoyable and something that I’ve been able to fit into a regular routine. He asked in-depth questions prior to getting started which he then used to customize my exercises to specifically deal with a nagging injury. I have felt a lot of improvement in regard to this previous injury and it feels better than it has been in years.

"Since starting our program I have been able to lose 50 pounds in about 4 months. I’m not where I want to be yet but with the program Steve has started me on, I know that I’ll get to my goal.

"I would recommend Steve to anyone that is interested in beginning an exercise program. "

Update – Bill has lost a total of 90 lbs and went from size 44 pants down to size 34.

"Over a year ago I was unable to perform the smallest of tasks using my right arm and shoulder. I could no longer lift any weight (not even household items like my hair dryer or coffee pot) because of the pain and weakness.

"I thought my next step was a visit to an orthopedic surgeon, as my 4 months of physical therapy hadn’t helped. Then Santa came to town and I was given (as a Christmas present) six weeks of session with a fitness professional from Adaptive Health Solutions.

"Adam McWethy has truly changed my life. His knowledge of the structure of the body and its muscles is phenomenal. His support and encouragement has eliminated my fear of further injuring myself. He has helped me strengthen my arms and shoulders to the point that I am now lifting weights that I never imagined I was capable of. He taught me how to perform my workouts using correct form which is so important to one's exercise program.

"I am now able to perform all of the tasks I wasn’t able to last year. My posture is improving and my energy is boundless. Now that my pain is gone we’ve begun to work on my toning and shaping. Adam also is very knowledgeable about nutrition which helps maintain the progress I have made. He is my hero!"

"I'm not a physical fitness expert, but I do know I feel much better if I exercise regularly.  The aches and pains so common in a person my age just seem to disappear when I maintain an exercise schedule. But what kind of exercises should my wife and I be doing?  We were struggling with this question and almost ready to give it all up when 2nd Wind hooked us up with Ranier Wood. 

"Under Ranier's expert guidance we are both following an exercise regimen tailored to meet our specific needs.  The difference in our lives has been profound. Ranier is much more than a personal trainer.  Every one-hour session is filled with new exercise routines.  Her expert leadership keeps us focused and on track.  She gently scolds us when we fall short and enthusiastically applauds our achievements.  Under her protective wing I have lost 30 pounds and feel 20 years younger.  My wife has lost 21 pounds and looks great!

"In a word, "Ranier Rocks!"  ;o)"

"When I started working with Ryan Walseth in March of 2005 I was at my wits end, both physically and mentally.  Suffering from Fibromyalgia and Post-Polio Syndrome, I felt weak and tired, sleeping often, while using a walker to help me get around.  I had tried everything!  Physical therapy, massage, nutritionists, countless prescription medications...all helping to a degree, only to end up back where I started, sometimes worse!  This all changed when I started working with Ryan.  We started slow, and progressed steadily each week.  I was skeptical, waiting for the big 'set-back'.  Much to my delight, it never came!  Over the past 1.5 years I've regained my energy, balance, strength, flexibility, and lost 20#'s to boot!  I feel better now than I have honestly felt in 20+ years!  Thanks Ryan!"

Client: Bill and Mary

"Thanks Ryan!

Mary and I are rapidly becoming aware of the great benefits to be gained through good diet and disciplined exercise. We both have greatly benefited from your coaching. Mary was at the doctor's office yesterday, and learned her blood pressure was 112/74. A year ago, it often exceeded 190/100. This is a testimony to your Tip of the Week."

"They say it's never too late to become fit. I had been focused on raising my family for 22 years and in the process I neglected my body. Fitness and exercise were not priorities. Once my boys left for college and I turned 50, I decided to improve my health and well being so I signed up with a trainer.

"Matt Tennessen helped me set my goals to gain strength, develop and tone my muscles, lose weight, and prevent osteoperosis. We started out slowly at first by improving my posture and helping me eliminate occasional backaches. From day one Matt was very positive and encouraging and he always came up with new programs to help me take it to the next level.

"Working with Matt just once a week has really paid off. I am much stronger, better toned, and have lost 25 pounds in the process. I even went down 3 dress sizes!

"Most importantly, my health improved. My cholesterol has gone from 266 to 190, my bone density improved by 5% and my blood pressure is lower. I am more confident, much happier and I attribute this to Matt's help and inspiration. I feel fortunate because Matt continues to challenge, encourage and support me.

"Thanks Matt for helping me feel like a new person."
