"She knows just how much to push you, and believe me, it will be further than you ever thought possible. "

Have you ever experienced someone coming into your life when you needed them most? I have, and most recently, it was Brittany Cushman, my personal trainer. For nearly two years I was plagued by the pain along the outside of my left knee (the IT band) and for about a year pain in my shoulders. I tried physical therapy but the results never lasted. i finally had an MRI done on my knee and ultrasound on my shoulders. The recommendation was that I would need surgery on my knee and that the tendonosis in my shoulders was treatable. Then along came Brittany.

While I never expected to see improvement in a few sessions, I also never expected to see so much progress in less than three months! Considering knee surgery on a daily basis became a thing of the past. With Brittany's systematic, subtle approach, I began to experience amazing results. Most noticeably, I could walk without pain! My legs and shoulders are getting stronger with each workout, my balance is improving, and my posture returning to what it used to be.

What I love about Brittany, besides being extremely knowledgeable, is that she is focused on you throughout the workout. Every session is different and inspiring. She challenges you and surprises you with new exercises and she stays aware of your condition and knows just how much to push you, and believe me, it will be further than you ever thought possible.

We've also been working on my nutritional habits. I haven't had to starve myself or deprive myself of my favorite foods; I'm just making healthier choices and I feel so much better overall. My clothes fit better, too!

I love Brittany's dedication and commitment to my well-being. I have not felt this healthy, this strong, and this resilient in years. Am I grateful? You bet I am, a thousand times over. :-)
