In August 2009 I suffered a detachment of the ACL of my
left
knee. In preparation for an ACL reconstruction surgery,
I hired Rhonda as a personal trainer to assist me in strengthening the muscles surrounding the knee. At the time, I was also suffering from a shoulder injury: a tear in my After a bad experience, with a nameless trainer, it took me a long time and some real encouragement,to phone
for an initial appointment with Rhonda. There was some reluctance to
go through a similar experience as I had in the past. I
had heard about Rhonda from my wife, who had taken a class
with her as a substitute and was impressed with the way she communicated
and encouraged the group. As soonas I talked to Rhonda on the phone, I
knew this would be a better experience. In our initial consultation,
she
showed a tremendous amount of knowledge, patience, and experience- and I
immediately knew I was under excellent direction. I have quite a few injuries and health problems, but Rhonda has tailored my program to push me, and yet not injure me, which is an art.
As far as the benefits of our program, I can honestly say that it
has impacted my life in more ways than I ever thought possible.
I just
feel- better. In almost every way.
Sure I have lost
weight, about 18
lbs, but it's more than that. My
confidence,
energy, strength and
stamina have all increased by a large margin.
Rhonda is just a relentlessly positive, upbeat and encouraging person. I found myself going far beyond what
I thought I could do, and
enjoying it, because of her
enthusiasm. My experience as her client could not have been any better. I am moving to the Lower Mainland, and will most certainly continue my trainingwith a new trainer.
I have no illusions, however, about finding someone as good. I've already had the best there is.
