What Clients Are Saying About Strength Training

Upbeat, friendly, deeply supportive during hip replacement

The spirit of Zenith is upbeat, friendly, and deeply supportive. From being greeted by Allie at the front desk, to interacting with James in the office, to sessions with the professional providers, it just feels good to walk through that door! I have worked with PT Mariel, both before and after hip replacement. She is equal parts exceptional knowledge and motivational joy. And I've just started working with Alex, the personal trainer. He is also obviously very knowledgeable, dedicated, and personable. Both he and Mariel are committed to creating individualized programs by listening and responding to their clients in order to build not just optimal physical strength and recovery but also to educate us in ways that will support our on-going health and resilience. Zenith really does live up to its name!

Alex’s dedication and care made all the difference

Rarely do you meet someone so well suited for their job as Alex is for physical training. His kindness, commitment, and patience to helping clients grow in strength and confidence is unmatched. The passion for his work is clear and felt by everyone in the gym. He worked tirelessly to find solutions to shoulder and neck issues I struggled with for over 10 years. He never gave up even when I was frustrated with my own progress. I am able to do exercises I never thought possible, and I can dance the night away harder than I did in my 20s. I will forever be grateful for his determination and genuine caring attitude. Alex is a special human and I can promise your life will be better for it if you choose to work with him. I would give him 10 stars if it was possible. Thank you Alex and the Zenith team!

Zenith Takes PT to the Next Level — Running Pain-Free

I started experiencing a persistent pain in my right hip after returning to running after several years. I am active and participate in sports and the pain was keeping me from my routine runs, races and my overall fitness. Mike evaluated me and got to the root of the issue. He is innovative in his approach and integrates elements of massage into the work. He is fun to work with, communicates regularly and uses humor as we approach some difficult movements that push me out of my comfort zone. After each visit, I receive a set of exercises to complete at home between sessions. As I got stronger, the pain decreased and I was able to return to my routine. We targeted goals, and he continues to tailor each session and prescribe a set of exercises to meet the unique characteristics of my body type and performance needs. I highly recommend Zenith; they take PT to the next level.
