Recreation Fitness

In case you missed it, a nice little feature about our company. :) Thanks to Eileen Rivera and The Rivera Group for welcoming us to this amazing neighborhood!

Merry Christmas from the Recreation Fitness Training Team! The best gift we could ask for this year is to have our RecFit family safe and healthy... Thank you for making this crazy year still one to be grateful for and proud of - you inspire, motivate, and energize us, and make our team feel so blessed to have the BEST job ever. Stay safe, wash your hands, and know that we are hugging you fiercely in our hearts! XXOO

This was the highlight of my day yesterday, that brought me to tears when my client gave it to me while beaming with pride A prolific artist for much of his life, he has not been able to create much since his stroke last December, which affected the mobility on his right side, including the right hand he has used for years to tie intricate knots, paint fine lines, and read braille (he's legally blind). We started working together in February, after he was released from p...hysical therapy but still had a long road of recovery ahead. He and his wife were frustrated that others had too low of expectations for him because of his age (he's 82), and they knew he could improve so much more if he had the right team to help. When we met 10 months ago, he was using a walker full-time, had very little control over his right hand and arm, and was unable to do most of the household tasks that he used to enjoy, like gardening and cooking meals for his adorable wife. I look forward to our weekly visits, especially when the COVID blues hit hard, because his steady progress has been a beacon of hope amidst the gray - every session he moves just that much better, speaks more clearly, regains his humor. I tease him that he's our Good News Bear, keeping our spirits up with his tenacity. Slowly but surely, he now walks unassisted, helps with the cooking (slicing and dicing!), and can once again enjoy strolls in the park with his love. And then yesterday, he presented me with this: a snowflake he cut out for me, unassisted, with his right hand. I can't think of a better or more fitting gift from my Good News Bear, who once again reminds me that I have the best job ever. #redefiningpersonaltraining #exerciseforbrainchange #strokerehab See more

COVID lessons + Easy Dinner for Hot Summer Nights - https://mailchi.mp//pd-fit-for-parkinsons-events-resources

So grateful for the overwhelming support we've gotten for our decision to take our time reopening until it is safer to do so... Of course we'd all love to go back to in-person classes and training ASAP because we miss being together IRL, but the health and safety of our team and YOU is paramount right now. In the meantime, you've made our virtual sessions and classes SO much fun, so keep up the great work!

We’ve been getting lots of questions about when our studio will reopen... https://mailchi.mp/632c84/no-sat-fit-camp-this-week-2497926

A long overdue note from my heart https://mailchi.mp/a830a0/no-sat-fit-camp-this-week-2478465

Got this text from a client this morning, and it just made my week! He has Parkinson's and has embraced our new virtual #PDFit classes via zoom with his wife since the COVID-19 quarantine began. Even though they aren't in our studio, they are working just as hard from home to keep their bodies moving and their brains sharp! I cranked up the heat and lead a challenging class yesterday, and I'm so glad they loved it as much as I did. One thing the last few weeks have taught me: we really ARE in this together. #exerciseforbrainchange #exerciseforparkinsons #sweateveryday

Such a great virtual #fitcamp class via zoom with these lovelies today! I'm super sweaty and my heart is happy, going to call that a success. Proving that #socialdistancing can most definitely be FUN! #sweateveryday #RecFit

When you have #parkinsonsdisease , having a tribe around you to push, encourage and inspire you makes all the difference.
