Todays #TestimonialTuesday written by @mum2threeangels ❤️I came to Back 2 Basics Training when I had embarked on my fitness journey but had difficulty finding and sticking to a workout regime. I had sustained some significant injuries in a car accident 10 years ago and needed someone that was knowledgeable with modifications and correct body mechanics. To be honest, originally I was looking for in person training but decided to try the free live-streaming class out on a whim, That was over a year ago and I have not looked back. Nargiz is amazing at what she does, she is so knowledgeable about training and proper body mechanics and is always watching us and correcting/ modifying things as needed. She has helped me to be consistent in my fitness routine and has helped me build a confidence in working out that I never thought was possible and I love seeing my progression. Another of my favorite things is the sense of community and family that we have. No matter what my day brings I know I have my workouts to relieve my stress and my Back 2 Basics Training family is always there! Dana,Thank you so much for your sweet testimonial❤️🙏🏼

Morning coffee, great hike and SURPRISE RUN🤣 with #myfitfam on such a beautiful Saturday morning! Thank you everyone who made it and I can’t wait to see you all next month😘💪🏼👊🏼
