Chronic Pain for 4 Decades...Resolved?!

 

I had been living with chronic pain for nearly forty years. 

 

Never did I believe that at the age of 62 I would be saying I am living PAIN FREE for the past 18 months! 

 

I owe much of this new found freedom to my fitness coaches, Shane and Brendan! 

 

I have never been one to work out regularly. Just simply did not enjoy the idea of working out and hated it. 

 

Then I tried two different personal trainers over the years and still no success. 

 

 

Both Shane and Brendan have a unique approach to clients. 

 

Theirs is not a “one size fits all”. It is clear they assess the individual and customize the workout to the needs of that specific client. 

 

I have had three right shoulder surgeries and am told I need a reverse total shoulder replacement largely due to the inordinate pain I have been dealing with for years, even prior to the shoulder surgeries. 

 

About ten years ago I had a laminoplasty on my neck C3 thru C7. All of my chronic pain issues have been musculoskeletal—for years! 

 

Even weekly massages were only taking the edge off the pain.

 

 

Because I was so accustomed to a paralyzing pain cascade that would last for days I was initially very skeptical of what I could and could not do in an exercise routine. 

 

Shane and Brendan are very intuitive and knew me well allowing me time to establish trust. 

 

Now, when I look back, I laugh...

 

Because I so implicitly rely on their expertise now!! 

 

I had reached a point of hopelessness in my chronic pain. 

 

Not now! 

 

I did not take on the reverse total shoulder replacement and the quality of my life is the best it has ever been!

 

One day I may need the surgery but for now there is no reason. I am able to function beautifully and I feel really, really good about myself!

 

***SERIOUSLY IMPRESSIVE! Mouzetta has been a personal training client of Shane and Brendan's since early 2018. We did not begin her on the exercises in the video above -- but she has been able to progress up to them due to her determination and consistency over the years.***

 

It has been a privilege to have Shane and Brendan in my life. 

 

They are respectful, professional, delightful and fun. 

 

I never feel like I am just an appointment. 

 

They make you feel like a friend for life! 

 

Shane and Brendan, thank you for being awesome!!! And thank you for the new lease on life you have provided to me!!!

A Brutally Honest Review of Peak City Gym from Former Member - Yikes!

  A Brutally Honest Review of Peak City Gym WARNING: We understand that your opinion of Peak City Gym, the services it provides, and the coaches that train there may change after reading the following.   It's a risk we are willing to take because we know that you deserve the truth...     Kelley Greeson, former PCG Member, writes:   " I rarely write reviews, but when I do, I include info that I would have found helpful when I was doing research. A friend pointed me to a longevity podcast about a year ago, and I started binging Peter Attia's podcast, his book "Outlive ," and other doctors' healthspan podcasts.      When I learned about the accelerated rate at which people naturally lose muscle and bone mass as they age, I was shocked into taking action.   Plus, vainly, I didn't want to look scrawny anymore.     My husband and I researched and interviewed several workout options, including gyms, private training, and online classes...

Shocking: Dragged and Beaten

Image
SHOCKING: DRAGGED AND BEATEN I was SHOCKED when I walked into his house last night. My Dad was sprawled out on his living room floor, short of breath, and pleading for help. It looked like he had been repeatedly dragged from a chair and beaten for nearly 30 minutes. It turns out that's exactly what had happened. My almost-two-year-old had been instructing -- her  68-year-old Papa  to sit in her toddler-sized chair only to immediately pull on his shirt until he fell to the floor. The thud of him hitting the floor was only muffled by the hearty and contagious belly laugh from his assailant. After a brief scrap on the floor, in which my Dad was no competition for his laughter-fueled granddaughter, he was instructed to get up and sit back in the chair. This had been on repeat for nearly 30 minutes before I arrived! Aside from being concerned that my daughter is already a bully and brute... Witnessing moments like these is particularly special and cool to me for a multitude of reas...

Former NHL Player Gives His Opinion on Fitness-Over-Forty Training Gym   CONTEXT: Tim Brent has been a member of Peak City Gym since July of 2022.  This review was  written in July of 2023.   He joined before he turned  forty and for the last 3 years Tim has been a  staple in our 6am small  group training  sessions.  In July of  2023, Tim surprised my brother and I  with the following: "Hey Guys,  ...I really appreciate you both and PCG. You guys are doing a really   great job and I know some days it's probably hard to get up in the mornings to come in and train the likes of   me, but it really makes a difference in people's lives. Mine included.    I've been offered free memberships at other places,  etc in  exchange for a review and have declined because I don't tie myself to something I don't   believe in.    I do believe in what you guys are doing ...
