I have been using Nikki as a trainer for over 2 years. I started training with her after a severe accident in which I broke my right wrist, left elbow, left rotator cuff tear and a concussion I had originally had three surgeries to repair injuries which left me with a plate in my right wrist and pins in my left elbow. As suggested by my surgeon, Dr. Modabber from the Santa Monica Orthopedic Group, I started with physical therapy which worked initially to a point. After having a bad experience with a secondary therapist who exacerbated my injuries and facing the real probability of having another surgery, I tried using a trainer. Nikki was a god-send!
Nikki constantly adjusted my training program to help me get over some very real obstacles. I now have full range of motion, complete usage of my right wrist and left arm to the point that I am stronger and practically pain free, a feat that was not in the realm of possibility after my accident.
Everyday i am thankful for my progress and thankful that I found Nikki. With her educational background and “hands-on” approach I am now able to do anything! My #1 goal at the beginning was to be able to catch my grandchildren safely as they run and launch off through the air at me with total trust in their eyes. I know that I can DO THAT and catch them safely while adding in a twirl!- And no surgery!
I have also referred my daughter, who recently started in what I call a “bride-to-be” boot camp specifically designed for her.
Thanks, Patricia M. McNamara
