Rhonda’s story


After a fall at work (in combination with a crooked spine), Rhonda started her physical therapy to reduce pain in her neck, back and legs. When she had control of her pain level and she was ready to graduate from PT, Ben her physical therapist and Kristi (her future
personal trainer) encouraged her to continue on with A2 Athletics. And she did! She started slow (coming to one 30-minute personal training a week); walking on the treadmill and ending with resistance training with weight, small squats, etc. Within a month of training, they set a goal: To walk 1 mile at the A2PT 5k! Rhonda went from six minutes on the treadmill to 10, to 12, to 15, to 20, and yes, then to 30 minutes! Rhonda started
coming in on her own time separate from her PFT appointments to walk — finding success at her own pace. She came to the A2 5K and walked 1 mile, with her brother and best friend. Rhonda crossed that finish line with the biggest smile … we couldn’t be more proud of her hard work and persistence! Rhonda has been personal training with Kristi for 12 months now, her current goal is to continue to walk more, and because she personal trains in our gym she is welcome to walk on the treadmill whenever she pleases
and she makes an effort to walk 3 to 4 times a week! Rhonda says it’s the little things, when she went to one of her Weight Watchers meetings she parked in a much further parking lot space, and as she walked to the front door from her car, she realized how easy it was… what would normally have not been possible — is now
possible! She said she is also now able to enjoy a more active life which includes traveling with friends.
"A2 makes me feel stronger, healthier, and more successful physically. I start to look forward to my workouts because of the positive results, which is weird! ... I would have never thought I would look forward to coming to exercise. Before I came here, I used to walk like an old lady and my friend said that I walk a lot better now! I would really encourage seniors to try it because it really helps, I saw results right away. I heard - sitting is the new smoking, it feels good to take care of myself and move. A2 makes sure to gear your workout to your needs, they start you slow, but then push you and then all the sudden - you did it!" -Rhonda

"A2 has been a game changer for me. I’ve had back problems my entire life from high impact sports and now sitting at a desk for work. Dr. Antone’s wellness program has nearly eliminated my stiffness and soreness that use to bother me throughout the day. I’d highly recommend him and his team for turning your health around. Thank you A2!!"

"I loved it here! Everyone was so kind and welcoming and it is a very comfortable space to be in. That made it 100X easier to work on things, and ask plenty of questions. I seriously can’t think of anything to improve upon! Everything worked and helped me feel better, and is so exciting! Because of this, I can do more, and spend less time hurting."

"Dan was great to work with, as was the whole staff at A2 PT. I have been through PT on my shoulders twice before with different places and by far this has been my best experience. As a fit person, who wanted to remain active during my recovery- I felt like my PT program covered that. Dan knew what my preferred activities were and tailored my treatment to be able to do those things. The treatment plan was more like a workout and I loved it. I felt like each week I was getting stronger. I also appreciated that I was asked for constant feedback about how I was feeling/doing. If I ever need PT again (fingers crossed I don’t) I’ll be back!"
