Personal Training in Tucson, AZ
Meet Albert M.
I have been an avid bicyclist for more than 30 years. Although the sport is an excellent heart-healthy exercise, a few
minor crashes coupled with the aging process began to interfere with my rides. A torn rotator cuff, sporadic back pain, and a touchy
knee resulted in more couch time than bicycle time. My physical therapist suggested a strength training program that focused on upper
body strength and core conditioning. I searched for a trainer who could work with my limitations yet still deliver results. I found
that trainer in Maggie. Almost three years later, I am pleased with my progress. Improvements in my core strength have
reduced those nagging backaches and have allowed me to ride longer distances. My upper body is also stronger and more flexible and
I have noticed fewer stress injuries and muscle soreness. Even though I’m not the fastest rider in the pack, I finished the El Tour
de Tucson this year and plan to continue for years to come.
Meet Marge P.
In 2003, I was out in the yard working when I tried to get up off my knees. I couldn’t. I had to crawl on my hands
and knees over stones to get to a place where I could pull myself up. I told my doctor and he decided to do a bone scan. He said I had osteoporosis and suggested I join a fitness club and do strength training, which I did. After two years and another
bone scan I had stabilized my osteoporosis. I have been working with Maggie once a week and two other days I work out independently
on strength machines.
Update: Marge has recently returned to her training program after having surgery for a hernia. It won’t
be long before she’s back up on the stairmill (it works like a treadmill but has collapsing steps you must keep up with as you climb),
which helps her keep in shape for climbing 18 stairs when she visits her daughter’s home in Oklahoma.
