Olivia
Her Experience in Our Studios!
Olivia started training at our studios in Austin, TX back in 2016. When we first met her she told us that she was diagnosed with MS and that she wanted to have more strength and energy to live her life. We took on the challenge and put her through the steady-pace technique. Almost two years later Olivia is still with us - still performing the technique in our studios. In fact - she recently filmed a few exercise videos with us that will soon be available for our members!
"Now that I've adapted to the technique (steady-pace) I feel transformed. I feel like a different person. I have so much energy. I feel like I can go out and do the things I want to do. I'm so much more spontaneous. My husband and I go to the movies, we go out of town and just doing all these things we didn't get to do for a year and a half when I was feeling really, really sick. So it really has changed everything."
