Perhaps you have tried exercising but end up feeling discouraged or even in discomfort, and don’t know where to turn, so you give up?
Maybe your posture concerns you, or your body constantly aches, and you want to exercise but don’t know where to begin?
Maybe you have back or neck pain, and despite what you do, you always end up with limited or no results, and nothing seems to change for the better?
Are you hesitant to trust someone new with your exercise needs, and place your time, energy and goals in their hands?
