I started a year ago September 2023 and progressed very well. After the first 8 weeks I retested and they recorded at 53% increase in body strength. Although I had no symptoms, In March of 24 I was diagnosed as have a leaky Aortic heart valve adn on May the 13th 2024 I had open heart surgery at Banner. Within hours I was sitting up andhaving lunch and a couple more hours (6 total) I was walking laps around the hospital floor. I was discharged in 4 days.
I took the summer off and went to Montana to do cario rehab on my own and when I got back to Cave Creek in Septermber of 24, my cardioligst tested me and all heart functions had returned to normal. To be clear, I would not had the speedy recovery and outcome without my twice a week sessions at The Exercise Coach.
I love KARA! I love that only a few people are in the gym at a time so it is not intimidating. I love that it is only 20 mins, but if Kara doesn't have anyone behind me she makes me do more work:) My neighbor Maryanne saw how much I was changing that she joined and loves it - her fav is Jess. I really liked the challenge and I worked even harder everyday and lost weight (19 on the scale since starting last year), body fat % and pounds of body fat. I made an appointment years ago to visit the Exercise Coach, but didn't go through with the visits. I wish I would have known what a great fit this is for me.
