Client Spotlight: “Amanda has been consistent in the gym since signing up. Her results speak for itself. She’s been noticing herself that her body composition has improved. She’s been saying her clothes fit better. I can personally tell that her stamina/endurance has improved from what I notice when she does her conditioning. She was already confident coming into the gym but her confidence has also improved. She always comes in with a smile on her face ready to work, even in the dark and early mornings when everyone is tired.” -Bryan

Bright Spot - Allison Mills

Allison came to me from a referral from her PT. I specialize in pregnancy and postpartum athleticism and we focused our training on corrective exercise, with the goal of working on engaging the core and
pelvic floor under load, and shoulder and ankle stability and mobility and stability. She's improved so much in the short time we've been working together and got third place in her first triathalon since
before being pregnant! Here are some questions we had for Allison.

Why did you join us?
Rebuild strength postpartum

What's been your biggest accomplishment since joining us?
Completed first race postpartum last weekend.

What are you working on now?
Deciding next season's goals, not sure yet.

What's your favorite memory at the Performance Ranch?
Krista discovering my imbalances and weakness during our initial sessions.

What motivates you to continue training here?
I am making progress that I have not been able to on my own. I'm really excited to see what the next seasons will look like as I get stronger and have more time to train. Currently my training schedule is worked around my little toddler. She's cute, but demanding.

Need a Training Partner? Get a Dog! - Performance Ranch

Need a Training Partner? Get a Dog! - Performance Ranch In 2006, I got my first black lab "Diego," he was my gateway to venturing out on a mountain bike. He was an 18-month-old rescue, that was high-energy and a destroyer of all things he could get his mouth around. I decided to get a rescue dog after watching many episodes of "Dog Whisper.

This week's Bright Spot Friday is Addy. Her parents are members and decided to include Addy since she is active in both soccer and running. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
