Athlete of the Month: Kelly Rogers

Posted by Lauren Boyd Posted 2 months 14 days ago (EST)

What a difference Kelly has made since walking in our doors some 15 months ago. For an adult client our facility can be a bit overwhelming. We expect a lot out of our clients and push them to the next level on a regular basis. But the results have been great and this pushes Kelly to continue training an average of just over 3.5 days per week. Kelly trains to look better (who doesn’t like this?), move better, and feel better on a daily basis.
