When I signed my child up to 3 months of skating instructional work I knew I would be spending a lot of time at the ice rink. As it so happened, it was about time I did something about my own physical fitness. After a year off from coaching hockey and playing I needed to start finding other ways to be active.
I signed up for 3 months and from day 1 I knew it was the right choice. Having the desire to work out can quickly be undermined if you try to start in the wrong environment. My first walk through was with Rob Tanner and he took the time to explain EVERYTHING in the gym as well as their approach as a medically oriented gym. We discussed plan to start and changed a few things along the way.
Over the 3 months I lost nearly 20lbs, while only working out 2-3 times per week for 90 minutes or less. This is because I put the work in and made changes to diet (subtle ones). However, I am quite positive I would not have signed up and kept at it without the encouragement of all the staff there, especially Rob.
It's been a long time since I've felt this good. I've never been a gym person, but it never felt like going to the gym here. It simply felt like going to a place to hang out and be active.
I'm not sure I could recommend it any higher. It's made a massive...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreThis fall my knees were painful and getting worse. Since I am 80, I figured this was what happened with arthritis in the knees: pain on movement, aching all the time, and eventual knee replacement. I have been a patient of Lattimore through the years: low back pain and shoulder issues. When i mentioned to my therapist, Shane, that my knees were killing me, he told me that PT could help. Honestly, I didn't believe him. How could PT help with arthritis? What I learned is that arthritis isn't my problem since everyone at my age has it but not everyone has knees issues. My problem was lack of flexibility in my hips, tightness in the hamstrings and quads, and wekeness in leg muscles and my core. I am now able to move without pain and have increased flexibility and strength. While I have more to do, I now see what Shane meant. PT really did help me. Getting the PT from Shane at the IcePlex was a real plus. He is knowledgeable, personable, demanding and understanding. The atmosphere at the facility is friendly, even family-like. I...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI recently received physical therapy from Lindsay Gorman and Bryan Yehl for knee pain associates with arthritis and surrounding ligaments and muscles. I had been dealing with this for several years but got some relief from a knee brace and over the counter medication. I finally decided to try PT since it was interfering with my sleep and some of my activities and honestly the relief I felt was amazing! Through simple exercises, heat and massage I am now pain free! Lindsay and Bryan are knowledgeable and compassionate therapist. They always showed concern and were able to suggest modifications as needed. From the moment I walked into the facility, and every time thereafter, I was greeted warmly and cheerfully by Kashara who was always accommodating in every way. I would highly recommend this team of experts for your physical therapy needs. They work closely with Mike from the adjoining fitness facility who was always very welcoming and happy to share his...
