After two kids, two ankle surgeries and a labral tear surgery on my hip, I had become less and less active. The result was extra weight, significantly less mobility and sometimes severe arthritis pain in my shoulders and hip. At the encouragement of my physical therapist, I signed up to work with one of the LifeStart trainers, Veronica. Since the sessions are 30 minutes, I was able to fit them into an otherwise crazy schedule! My trainer did an assessment and crafted workouts that not only took into account my issues but focused on trying to do something about them.

Fast forward several months and I am now able to lift my arms above my head without pain! My legs are getting stronger and the pain in in my hip is decreasing. I have been able to resume a full training schedule in Figure skating! Veronica has helped me craft a workout that focuses on how to improve strength and balance in figure skating as well as other areas of life.
