Testimonials

“Sheltering Arms has given me my life and independence back! From my physical therapy and a routine established in the PowerEx program, I have become more confident in myself and believe I have been given the Power to Overcome! The PowerEx program has been so helpful to me, and I would highly recommend it to anyone as exercise is extremely important for everyone!”

“Club Rec is my home away from home. I love the art, bowling, and golf programs at Club Rec.”

“I had no idea that I could make the improvements that I have. It has been a lot of hard work and diligence from both me and the fitness team. I have met and exceeded all expectations. I can’t say enough about the perseverance and dedication that Logan-Ann and this fitness team have instilled upon me. The best part is, it's not even over yet.”

“Since starting NeuroFit over a year ago, my strength, fitness, and confidence have gone through the roof, but most importantly, the love for myself is back. My accident took place in September 2015, and from that point on, my life drastically changed. The help of physical therapy got me back to independent living, but with the extra help of NeuroFit, I find that I’m so much stronger and able to maintain a ‘normal life.’ The exercise physiologists I have worked with are not only friendly and encouraging, but they also treat you like a person, not like a patient.”

“Recently, I signed up for my first round of adaptive exercise training sessions with Shannon as I have always wanted to sign up for this. As I suspected, it is very beneficial because we get to target specific areas that I need to work on for rehabilitation purposes. Shannon is very familiar with my limitations from teaching our Silver Sneakers class and other activities. I have enjoyed my sessions and have decided to sign up for another package!”

“Since participating in PowerEx, I danced again… all the dances! After surgery, I wasn’t doing anything active. Now, even if I don’t go to the gym, I increase my activity throughout the day. Recently, I couldn’t make it to the gym while traveling, so I walked everywhere, more than some people I was with who have good knees! I now enjoy exercise and moving, and my left leg is now stronger than my right!”

“At Club Rec, we call ourselves family.”

“Through my sessions, I have gained the ability to climb stairs again and build a lot of strength so that I can play golf again. The atmosphere here is so encouraging. I have been able to get immediate feedback on my body’s movements, which is great. The integrated approach here allows you to see a lot of improvements.”

“I am pleased to announce the tremendous progress I have made in the NeuroFit program. We established early goals for the exercise program, which I am reaching. The NeuroFit clinic has the most modern, state-of-the art equipment that the exercise physiologists use efficiently to help their clients strengthen their bodies. I have enrolled in another package as I believe I will continue to benefit from the workouts under the supervision of my very competent exercise physiologist.”

“If you need a jump-start to your exercise routine, start with the PowerEx Program. The requirement of working out at least twice a week during the three-month program gets you in the habit of working out. I did the program eight years ago and have been committed to working out since. I feel so much better mentally and physically.”

“Adaptive exercise training in the pool has helped me recover from my stroke, get stronger, help with my focus, build my confidence, and improve my walking.”

“Being paralyzed 10 plus years, I have learned many ways to be independent, learn my own capabilities, and overcome many obstacles, mainly because of NeuroFit at Sheltering Arms. They have taught me how to continue my life with a positive outlook and have shown me how to look past my disability. Without them, I wouldn’t be where I am today, living my best life and striving to be better every day. They give me the Power to Overcome.”

“As a stroke survivor, my weekly strength training sessions with Niki at Sheltering Arms remain crucial to my continued recovery. Niki’s expertise and dedication have resulted in demonstrable functional improvements. Whenever I have a goal, she designs an exercise program to help me reach that goal. She even goes as far as to build a specific piece of exercise equipment. With Niki’s pleasant personality making the time fly during strenuous sessions, strength training at Sheltering Arms has become my favorite weekly activity.”

"NeuroFit has been very helpful. When I came here, I felt like I was at the very beginning of my journey after my stroke. Now, I feel like I am 90% back to where I was before the stroke. Some of my favorite things about NeuroFit are the patience the exercise physiologists have with you, and the constant reassurance that you can always do better. NeuroFit is one of the best places you can go; along with the patience, the equipment they have that you can use is incomparable. The NeuroFit staff will always encourage you and remind you that it’s not going to happen overnight, it’s going to take some time."

“This innovative and affordable program has been incredibly meaningful and impactful for me personally. Thanks to PowerEx, I have experienced significant improvements in my physical flexibility and strength. Additionally, I have been reminded of the numerous benefits of exercising regularly and have established a structured routine to do so. Most importantly, I have embraced a mindset of healthy living, which includes both exercising and responsible eating.”

“NeuroFit is an excellent program that is composed of awesome people who create great exercise programs. I came to NeuroFit to get a great workout because, working out here, I feel like I am bettering myself. If you are looking to get a great exercise program while being surrounded by people who will motivate and encourage you, give NeuroFit a shot.”
