I have been a member of Exertec since February 2001. Ten years next month. Prior to that, I would walk with a friend, but then it got cold and rainy, so we joined Exertec. After a few months, my friend quit, but I’m not a quitter and I am still here. I do circuit, water classes and body sculpting. I try to come 4 to 5 days a week. In reaching my goals, I’m not only stronger, but I now have great stamina and endurance. I have lost some weight, but still have more to go. I have had a lot of encouragement from all the instructors at Exertec. They are all great, but Jackie is like our Guru. She really gets you going, and “yes you can” has become our motto. The instructors, staff and especially the front desk are all friendly and very helpful. My future plans are to keep up the good work I have accomplished here. 10 Years ago I was told I would need a knee replacement. I have bone on bone. But I credit my water classes for being able to put if off. I have made some great friends and plan to continue coming as long as possible because I feel great!
