Marie P. - Online Client
At first I was skeptical of getting involved in yet another "exercise" program at my age, but I quickly found out that the benefits of participating in the Fireweed Human Performance program can enhance overall quality of life. Kathy Linton, my Personal Trainer, designed a twice weekly, 30 minute strength training program, focusing on improving my overall mobillity for everyday activities (and improving my golf game!). The weekly plan is done at my convenience and easily fits into my schedule, and the results are amazing - increased muscle strength, better balance and more flexibility. I can now put my pants on easily while standing up, carry a 1 gallon water jug in one hand effortlessly, and open jars with ease.
I also was experiencing hip pain whenever I went for a walk of more than 15 minutes. Kathy designed specific exercises and incorporated a weekly walking schedule into my program - and I was able to walk my first 5K ever this year on my 77th birthday without any pain or discomfort. I am so very pleased with the progress I am making during these 8 months of working with Kathy. I can move around more easily, have increased energy, improved balance, and no longer worry about having a fall that could cause serious health issues. I can’t say enough about how Kathy and the Fireweed Human Performance program has changed my outlook on living a long healthy lifestyle.
Kathy's consistent enthusiasm, support and passion even make the workouts fun, especially when done via teleconference. Thank you Kathy!

Kathy with Fireweed Human Performance did an in-depth range of motion assessment and made a strength program for me that mainly focus on my upper body and leg strength. The three strength training sessions are all different which I alternate days with walking on the treadmill. The exercises aren't complicated at all! I also work on my balance everyday. I have noticed vast improvements in my arm and leg strength in the four months I've been doing this program. If I can do this program, anyone can!

I've been training with Kathy for 1.5 years, and she's amazing! She knows how to keep me motivated and push me just the right amount. Plus, working out in a private gym with no one else around is a bonus—no waiting for equipment. She's not just a great trainer but also a genuinely awesome person. Highly recommend!

We had a membership to a gym but didn't know if we were using the equipment properly so we sought help and training. We have been clients of Kathy's for just over a year now and although we started our visits twice a week we are at once a week presently and always look forward to it even though the trip is 150 miles round trip. What she has done for my husband and my mobility is so much appreciated as we are both healing from injuries and surgeries...myself dual knee replacements and him... hip, neck, knee, wearing a back brace too long, elbows not working right just your basic joint and injury after being tossed around over the years working on ranches and in particular a bull incident...she is very patient and understanding of the needs as we age ..68 and 74 ..balance body and muscle usage and does not let you overdo it but keep on an even keel while building confidence and muscle and re-educating your coordination and muscles that haven't been working in quite some time...we so look forward to our visits and are so pleased that we were able to find a slot in her schedule...just a terrific person and trainer.
