"I have been very fortunate to have been using Accessible Fitness for several reasons, I’ve been able to develop all my muscles by increasing my weights, which have made my muscles stronger, and now I can bench more than my body weight, which feels great especially at 65 yrs old. Accessible Fitness has also helped me with my coordination. I am not falling as much and not tripping over tooth-picks anymore. I feel much more flexible and I have less muscle spasms. Now for the first time in many years, I can touch my toes, and I can also balance standing on my toes or on one foot, Thanks to Accessible Fitness."

I never dreamed I could have the body I wanted until I met Paul & Judy! Their training program easily fits into my busy lifestyle and their eating suggestions are manageable and make sense. I have lost 13 lbs. and 12% body fat in just 3 months! Paul & Judy, I can't thank you enough for your constant support and for developing and sharing this incredible program!
In September 2004, I found Judy and Paul while reading a small article in the MS Newsletter.  I thought this sounds like something I could do and really benefit in the process.  When I started working with Judy, we set two very simple, basic goals - to increase my stamina and to work on balance.  I remember jokingly telling her that if I lost some weight in the process, that would be a pleasant added benefit.   Although MS had slowed me down, I was still fairly active, but was becoming more and more frustrated by my physical limitations.  I realized that I had reached a point where I really needed to do something to stay as active as I had been - I took the use it or lose it approach.  The last six month have been short of amazing.  Since I have always tried to stay active, Judy was able to take me further, faster then we first thought.  I have regained much of my lost flexibility, can stay on the go much longer and the best part is I have actually lost about 3 dress sizes in the last six months.  Not bad for a 63 year old grandmother.  I can almost keep up with my teenage granddaughters when we have a day at the Mall.

Saunnyvale, California		 "I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 1985.  The last seven years have been very difficult.  I was no longer able to work and could only walk very short distances using crutches.  I relied on a wheelchair for any extended distances. I had tried physical therapy, acupuncture and a variety of recommended MS medications for many years.  My condition kept deteriorating.  I was always told "don't exercise too strenuously. If I did go to the gym or worked with a physical therapist, it was with light or no weights. Nothing seemed to change. It was discouraging, and I stopped exercising. So I gave Paul a call. His approach was different. His philosophy was much more proactive.  He also knew what I was experiencing with the disease.  Something 'clicked' within me mentally and emotionally.  His approach made sense to me and took a positive rather than passive approach. Under his guidance, I've been lifting weights twice a week for the past two years. Paul encourages, persuades, and pushes (and pushes).  "OK, one more set, this time let's increase the weight".  Paul's patience, understanding and positive attitude has made a definite impact. I've seen an increase in body strength, stamina and most importantly an improved mental outlook towards my MS. I am not looking to Paul for a 'cure'.  What I am getting is a mental boost to help take advantage of what I am able to accomplish.  I feel so much better about myself and have a better outlook regarding life with MS."
