Gerry:
"How could I describe myself? I have a varied background; wife, mother of four children, grandmother to four, business owner, nursing, teaching, sales and volunteering.
Yes, I am retired and this phase of my life allows me to exercise five days a week. I personally have been a member since 1985, and can not imagine myself anywhere else. Exertec is more than a place, it is a family.
Since 2003, my husband Chuck and I renewed our commitment to ourselves and Exertec helped us to fulfill our personal goals. To exercise five days a week to feel healthy and enjoy all the people that we meet.
I personally have to thank Tricia Doughty for being an excellent trainer, since I am naturally competitive and she protects me from hurting myself.
My own personal goals, weight, body fat index have been reached. Therefore my goal is to continue enjoying varied classes and continue being happy.
Thank you Exertec."
Chuck:
"I started coming to Exertec in August 1985 after I had an attack of Tachycardia, and Dr. Moore told me I could help myself by exercising. I came regularly for several years and slowly fell away.
In 2003, I suffered from 3 bulged discs in my back. I chose physical training over back surgery. I started working out with Tricia Doughty and thru her training I have been living life with only a small amount of back pain.
In Sept. of 2006 I suffered chest pain and that resulted in open heart surgery. After recovery I turned once again to Tricia to get me back in shape. Thank you Tricia.
Yes I have been able to reach my goals, to live a healthy life and enjoy my retirement years."
