MedX Core Lumbar Extension Machine

Thanks to Alive! Whole Life Fitness Studio I feel like a new person. I have more confidence in myself, both at home and at work, than ever before.

I found Alive! at the advice of my doctor. Without my half-hour twice-a-week workouts, I believe I would be in a wheelchair right now. Thank you for giving me my life back!

My ½-hour sessions, once a week, are very beneficial both physically and mentally. I have more muscle, my bones are stronger, and I feel better.

Alive! has helped me regain strength and function lost to years of joint deterioration. I feel like I’ve been able to roll back the clock at least ten years.

The best thing is the personal attention to form and appropriate, slow adding on of weight. It gives me confidence that I’m working hard, but that I’m not going to injure myself.

I started menopause so keeping my bones and body strong is critical. My trainer makes the workout fun and SAFE.

The SafeStrength training is fun. My headaches and back pain have decreased to almost zero and I have a lot more energy.

Wow, what a difference a few weeks makes. I have been doing SafeStrength® for about 6 weeks now and I can really tell the difference.

I thought I had made it when after one year I could put my pants on one leg at a time while standing. That was big. Now, my legs are strong; I can walk the airport miles, haul my own luggage, and stand in long lines with ease and confidence. I no longer experience myself as a handicapped person in need of help at every turn.

My husband, Kevin, and I are both doing strength training at Alive! and not only can we see visible improvement in each other we each feel stronger.

After years of pregnancy, it sure feels great to have my strength back. I’m even stronger than I was in college.

The workouts feel very safe and I have no fear of referring any of my friends or patients to him, even the more elderly ones.

I had lost 40 lbs of muscle mass following a motorcycle accident and I feel that I’ve regained all of my muscle tone and more.

Over the years I have tried many different programs for exercise and self-improvement and usually gave up rather quickly because nothing worked or gave me the encouragement to continue. ALIVE! works and I notice results every week.

I love slow-strength training because it's a concentrated 20 minute work-out that has taken inches off my body and increased my muscle mass as well as my strength.

I love how much progress I'm making for a very modest investment of time.

Where I see the most change is in my other sports. I'm a cyclist and the slow motion strength training has really helped me with my hill climbing. Also, it has helped strengthen my core muscles which has affected my golf game.

Slow motion, high intensity strength training has significantly improved my life I have better posture, fewer aches and pains (especially less back pain).

As a senior, I was sure slow motion, high intensity strength training would be too difficult for me. But with gentle, caring guidance from James, I got a wonderful start. This is truly good for everyone.

Sometimes I think I will just call in and say I'm tired, but I drag myself to Alive! Fitness and once I begin my routine, I start realizing that this is the best thing I could do for myself and for those around me.

I have worked with a personal trainer in the past, but never had a sense I was increasing my level of overall fitness. I highly recommend this method of training for anyone who wants to gain strength without a huge commitment in time.

I have been able to lift more weight than I ever have done before when working out on my own or with other trainers.

I've done resistance training on and off for years, but this strength training method have given me better results than any spa or gym.

I am happily amazed that I am getting very strong, I can fit it into my busy executives' schedule.
