I was 55 years old and was tired of my body not being able to function properly. I had lost over 100 lbs over the previous 18 months, but my body still always hurt and I was very limited in my movement and activity. My knees were especially bad b/c I played college basketball and had multiple surgeries on my knees over the years. Also getting up to 420 lbs and being 6’6” that was significant wear and tear not only on my knees but the other joints in my body. I needed to find someone to train me so that I could relearn how to use my body.

I was more excited than nervous or skeptical. I did my research and understood how expertly trained Terri was and how many years of experience she had in training individuals like myself. I knew if there was anybody that was going to be able to get my body functioning on the level I need to play golf and go surfing, it was going to be Terri. And I was not disappointed. Even from our very few sessions I knew I had found what I needed. Terri is not only an expert in fitness and training she truly understands movement and how it is applied throughout the body. And she has a very individualized training program that builds from the ground up allowing me to slowly and progressively increase and improve my movements, strength, balance and endurance. I literally could not ask for a more perfect teacher/trainer.

I learned how incredibly poorly my body was functioning. Since I had gained so much weight for so many years, I had to retrain my body how to move, use muscles and learn balance and form that was much different 120 lbs lighter. Terri perfectly explained what was happening and what I needed to do to apply and improve the movement and functions that had deteriorated over the years. As a physician I was able to apply my medical knowledge with the vast amount of knowledge Terri was sharing with me and everything made perfect sense.

The way I move and feel now on a daily basis is over 10X better and more effective and efficient than before I started with Terri. And I am still growing and improving with her every week. Even after over 12 months of training, I am still learning from Terri and look forward to moving with the flexibility, power and balance of someone 20 years younger than me. And I know with absolute certainty I will reach that goal with Terri.

I would and do recommend ART with power and conviction. Terri’s expertise, patience and individualized plan for each client is absolutely life changing. I would absolutely not be where I am right now without Terri. Do yourself a favor and give her a chance. You will thank yourself for the next 10-20 years!

There’s nothing more challenging than trying to get fit after 50. I had taken a 10 year hiatus from working out and lost muscle mass, flexibility and strength. Coupled with some recent medical challenges, I was in the worst shape of my life. Working with Terri these last few months have been transformative. She is an “all-in-one” trainer: part trainer, part physical therapist, part dietitian and part motivational life coach! Her decades of experience makes her a wealth of knowledge, highly personalizing her approach to your body, your needs and your goals. I was nervous about getting back into shape and hesitant about working remotely with a trainer but she eased all that.

Even remotely, she is able to see every detail, correct posture, breathing and body position. It’s as if she is there in the room with you!
