Before I came to Gymnazo I had a bad ACL, so bad that two physical therapists and two orthopedic surgeons believed my knee would never fully heal. I felt my life was over. I thought I would never be able to participate in activities again with my kids. I feel like Gymnazo gave me my life back. In one session Michael was able to give me an exercise that was strenuous without causing knee pain! I love Gymnazo and can’t believe the overwhelming progress I’ve made!  I now have stability in my knee, can play soccer, hike and be outdoors without pain. I talk about Gymnazo all the time. I don’t know what I would have done without it. It is safe, effective, fun, skill building. It’s the whole fitness package.

I started working with Michael in Exclusive sessions to address a hip injury that was inhibiting my daily movement. After spending a ton of money on PT and chiropractic work, I was still having constant pain in my hip that would “re-injure” all the time whenever I was active. As someone who loves to be active it was very emotional to not see results. I saw results in just one session. He analyzed my movements, explained to me what was going on, and gave me tools/ exercises/ stretches to help improve my pain. He helped me get to the root of my injury and we worked from there. I am so thankful I went to Gymnazo. Not only can I work out pain free, but I am able to do hot yoga again and ballet!! I just recently went back on ballet pointe shoes as well— this is seriously a dream and miracle compared to where I was this time last year. I couldn’t even sit and walk without pain before I went to Gymnazo. Being able to dance again has set my soul free!

I did a 3D Movement Assessment because of a chronic lower back issue that has developed. I also had an injury to a hip flexor years ago, which led to a lower back injury. I was hoping it could be treated, but chiropractors couldn’t help me. Doing this assessment with CJ helped me understand the root cause of this pain. I have done the stretches that were recommended by CJ, and I have had less pain, which is fantastic for living with this for over three years. Occasionally it flares up and I go back to my homework, and personalized videos to get relief. I recommend this to anyone who is having challenges and may not know what is the cause of the pain. We have amazingly talented people working at Gymnazo that are there for us, willing and able to help with injuries and pulled muscles!

I chose exclusive one-on-one training after a pretty serious shoulder injury while bouldering. Coming back from injury left me feeling a lot of fear and mistrust when it came to some of the most simple exercises and I was scared I would never climb again. Working with CJ helped me rebuild my confidence in my body as well as develop better awareness of using my whole body for movements and power rather than isolating movements in one muscle group or area. This injury has been something I have been managing for years and CJ was my best round of physical therapy yet! I really appreciate the knowledge the instructors have about anatomy and accessing the power in my body. I enjoy training at Gymnazo because it is a positive and fun environment to build strength and confidence for and in myself. I also started climbing again!! Thanks for everything!
