Pure Strength

Pure Strength is the first exercise program that i have ever stuck to—- after decades of wasted gym memberships. I have been going to Pure Strength twice a week for seven months. the improved strength i feel is incredible. I used to get immediate pain in my left knee when i jogged. but now that doesn’t happen. Pure strength has developed important key muscles that support my knee and back so that there has been an elimination of aches and pains i used to suffer from regularly. the teachers are knowledgeable, and motivating. Also, my progress is monitored carefully which i love. I am a definite skeptic about health claims, but this program is the real deal. 68 years old and getting stronger every day!!

I love PureStrength, it’s made me so much healthier and stronger, it has been life-changing for me. I started about a year ago because, nearing 60, I got a bone density scan and my numbers indicated pretty serious osteoporosis, especially in my spine. My doctor recommended dietary changes, resistance training and meds. I decided to try it all — and for training, I started PureStrength. I have been consistent and am happy to report that I got another scan last week and my numbers drastically improved (from -3.1 to -2.6). Beyond that, which is pretty tremendous, I just love how much better I feel. Every day, I feel stronger, more connected to my body and my strength -/ and my posture has changed. I’m petite, and one of the other most significant changes is my outlook on my future: I no longer fear that I will inevitably grow frail. Instead, I feel confident that I can continue to be and feel strong as long as I continue to show up at PureStrength. The workouts are hard, but I always leave feeling strong and joyous — all the instructors are great, I’ve been fortunate to get to train one on one with Lisa, an all-around amazing teacher and a true inspiration to me! I love this place and couldn’t recommend it more highly.

I’ve known Melissa for well over 20 years. We met when she started taking my yoga class and she and her husband have continued ever since as the years have gone by things change and my bone density has really decreased. Although I’ve always worked out in addition to Yoga, it was never enough to have the impact on my bones to keep them from decreasing. I broke my ankle very badly this past summer and because of it, I started working with Melissa at Pure Strength to gain my strength back and also work on my bone density and muscle strength. Honestly, I wish I had started this 20 years ago when she first opened Pure Strength. It has changed my life. It’s nothing that you could compare to what we know as weightlifting or resistance training or working out in the gym. What she and her amazing staff are able to do for you in this type of program is beyond what you can imagine. I can’t say enough about how it has impacted my life in such an amazing way. I will say that I hope I can continue to do this type of training forever.
