Personal Trainer????

Maryellen, If you can afford it I would say go for it It can not hurt! I know for me it was just not in the budget right now so I can not do that but if I could I would for sure. It would help you stay on track and keep working out I am sure. I wish you all the best! Debra P

Hi Debra, I know, 20 dollars times 3 times a week is.....OUCH! Why can't they just be happy and accept whatever the insurance gives them? Maryellen

Hi MaryEllen - I'm in Holbrook - I would really like to know the name of the trainer - I would love to contact him/her... Thanks.. Linda

Hi Linda, I will bring the card home tomorrow, it is at my job (some good it is doing there!!!) and email you the information. They have one location in LIndenhurst and one in E. Patchogue. Anyway, we both have the same surgeon and live not far from each other, perhaps we should exercise together? Do you belong to a gym? I do (but do not go often ) St. Joseph's College, where I work. They charge $5.00 a visit for non-students/employees, are you interested? Maryellen

Hi Maryellen! I started with a personal trainer about 1 month ago. She had Roux-en-Y surgery over 5yrs ago with Dr. Garber. I have her come to my home 2 x per week and try to do the 3rd work out on my own. She has been there and knows first hand what we are going through. She has been very encouraging and made me feel better about myself. I don't recall her rates because I paid for 10 sessions at once and received a discount. I have 2 more left and I will continue once they are up. I have noticed a difference in strength, energy level and self esteem. I would recommend a personal trainer for anyone!!! I think it is a great investment in ourselves!!!!!! If anyone would like Lisa's number please e-mail me. LC

Hi LC, Sorry I haven' responded sooner, really busy at work and I attend an Intercession class as well, which is over on Thursday. Anyway, I'd love to find out the prices this trainer offers, what does she charge? Definitely give me her number as well. Thanks, Maryellen

Hi Linda, Sorry I haven't responded sooner. The trainers name is Dr. Dan and he is in East Patchogue at 250 Yahpank Road. HIs number is 957-7377. I have been real busy at work and I'm taking an Intercession class that ends on Thursday evening, so after that I will call him to schedule a free trial visit. Let me know if you like him and keep in touch. Thanks, Maryellen
