“I was attracted by a notice in our church bulletin offering a free fitness assessment and some training sessions as part of a Lenten health and fitness challenge. I am now officially a “senior citizen” and I see how much “creeping” disability robs older people not only of mobility and independence but also of joy. I don’t want this to happen to me any sooner than it must – never, if possible! While I do walk quite a bit and have a fair amount of endurance for that activity, my mild asthma leaves me a little short of breath at times, my balance is only fair (increasing my fear of falls), and I could certainly use more upper body strength.
I came expecting an overall fitness assessment, and maybe some casual oversight as I worked out on my own on various machines. I would have been quite happy with that but I ended up getting so much more. Bernadette not only assessed my strengths and weaknesses but she also listened to me and took into account my own fitness goals which included better balance, greater strength and greater endurance. She demonstrated the various exercises for me and joined in with me until I could accomplish them on my own. She stayed with me every step of the way. I also liked the fact that she wasn’t afraid to challenge me to improve just a little bit more with each session.
While I have to date only been working out for a few weeks, already I am capable of a great deal more than when I began. My stamina and strength have improved and it seems to me that I am using my asthma inhaler just a little less! After my first session, my heart rate remained elevated for hours; after my last session, my heart rate quickly returned to normal; my resting blood pressure is now as low as 95/66 and my resting pulse, down to 66-71 which, for me, is quite low. Even during the day under the stress of work, my normally rapid pulse remains steady and calm! Quite a bit of improvement in a short period of time! Thank you!” – Kathleen C.

“On Saturday I took my girls to the playground as always but this time decided to work out while they played, instead of sitting on the bench surfing on my iphone. I did our usual warm up, including inch worm, and most of our workout, except for the sprints in between and rows. I worked out for 40 mins. Really pushing myself with push ups, burpees, squats, planks etc. I’m addicted to boot camp thanks to Brownstone Fitness. For me to do all that on a Saturday was major! I was so proud of myself and see unbelievable change in my strength. I feel so strong, powerful and happy! Thanks to all of you at Brownstone Fitness!”- Elif Kavakci

“Some time ago when I met Hans, before I knew what he did, I started telling him about my son and football. At the time I think I was trying to talk myself into letting him go with the sport knowing that at least I didn’t have far to go to say a prayer or 2. Hans remembers this conversation more than I do and offered to train my son a couple of times a week. He said simply “you told me about your son for a reason” and he would work with him if he was willing. Seyoum started his classes with Hans during pre-season football. The first time he came out and said “mom, this is harder than football” but was looking forward to the next workout! Within a few weeks, my son was very conscious about his diet, his posture and slowly working on his schedule! Physically he looks great and feels good. He is very confident and tired at the end of the day, with no time for being a slouch!” – Leah Abraham
