Margo has made an impressive transformation over the last year. She began training in August of 2018. At the time, she was unable to squat her own body, unloaded through a full range of motion. She needed assistance pulling her self up off the bench or out of a chair. The remedy for this? Learn to squat - starting out with high box squats using an empty 7 kg bar. Margo has patiently worked through her fears and expanded her capacity, most recently achieving a 36 kg single on the squat (with no box, to a full depth!) as well as a 60 kg single on the deadlift. Far more important than the numerical progress, Margo is learning to trust herself and to be confident in her physical abilities.

Strength matters, especially as we enter the last third of our lifetime. Fighting the effects of aging with strength training is an important and meaningful process. We are honored to be able to support so many people, in all stages of life, as they work to regain or maintain their physical independence.
