What Clients Are Saying About Strength Training

I had given up on running—then I found Zenith

I’m not exaggerating when I say Dr. Mariel Hammond saved my life. I was feeling really discouraged about an ankle injury that hadn’t healed well, even after physical therapy elsewhere, and I thought it was too far gone for me to resume activities I loved without giving me intense pain. From our very first session, Mariel gave me hope—she’s incredibly knowledgeable, and I had reduced pain and increased mobility right away. Her mix of hands-on tissue manipulation and customized, progressive exercises has made running feel possible again, something I had totally given up on. I’m also learning so much more about my body and physical patterns through working with her. If you’re dealing with pain or a tough injury, don’t hesitate to check out the team at Zenith—I can’t recommend them (especially Dr. Mariel) enough!

I love Zenith—PT that fits how I train

I love Zenith! Working with a PT who understands my running goals and can incorporate strength and conditioning into treatment—along with helping me understand imbalances or injuries as they come up—has been so valuable. Thanks Mike!

Elyria K

It’s a game-changer for runners of all levels

I’m a high school runner who has done Zenith’s 12-week winter fitness program 2 years in a row and it is a game-changer for runners of all levels. The program blends endurance, strength training, injury prevention and mobility into a one hour session. Each week you build progressively, with exercises tailored toward beginner and advanced runners. With personalized feedback and a supportive community, I gained many friends and efficient running mechanics. Highly recommended!
