I never planned on having a stroke at 47 years old. I needed to walk again, I needed to use my…read moreright arm again. I needed to drive again. I was determined.   After the initial care I received, I stopped making progress.  I continued looking for someone who could help me.  I tried physical therapy for stroke rehab but was doing the same thing every time and getting nowhere.  I even tried hyperbaric chambers, all sorts of nutrition and supplements.  Something wasn't working.  My right shoulder, elbow, hand and fingers were useless.  My arm was forever bent at the elbow and wouldn't swing when I walked.  Doctors had me using a device that would make my ankle bend when I walked because it wouldn't do it on its own.   I was using a cane to walk and getting rides and taking Uber everywhere.  My independence had faded.  I needed someone that wasn't just going to follow what insurance dictates. I needed someone to look at me as an individual with a unique situation to help find my unique way to get better.   I needed a change.   I started researching and interviewing people.  I was stuck between traditional medical solutions and the fitness world.  I was speaking to trainers who thought that exercising me was the solution.  That's all physical therapy was already doing.  I finally found Jay at Symmetry.  I had never heard of "Muscle System Care" so I wondered how helpful it could be.  I was also forced to realize everything that I had heard of, wasn't helping.  I went to talk to him with many thoughts and questions. "I have a lot of challenges, can he help me?  Will he motivate me and push me? Does he really understand how complicated recovery is?  How can something I've never heard of help me?"    Today I no longer use that electric stim on my ankle when I walk.  I no longer use a cane.  I use my arm and hand to open jars, pick up and hold things, and carry my purse - normal, everyday things.    People ask me if I broke my leg or what happened.  No one ever thinks I had a stroke anymore.  Every visit to my neurologist he tells me he's happy with my progress and that I should continue with Jay.  Sometimes it's challenging when I see new people come in to see Jay and have their issues resolved so quickly, but they just come in with pain. I came in when no one else could help.  And while its been a long road and there's still a longer one ahead, I'm thankful I finally found someone that could help when no doctor, therapist or specialist could.

Symmetry is a small personal training center that is NOTHING like big corporate gyms. Walking into…read moreSymmetry is like walking into Cheers because everyone who works there knows you and genuinely cares about you. I can't come up with a good TV show analogy for interacting with other clients and it's hard to describe how you end up feeling supported and supportive of another client working out across the room but you do. There is something about Symmetry that makes everyone feel comfortable, relaxed, and included and that is so unusual in the best way. It's something you'll feel when you walk in the door. And fair warning, you can also expect to have Jay throw something at you as you walk in and yet strangely, you look forward to it. The best way to get a sense of what it's like to be a Symmetry client is to take advantage of the free consultation offer. But if you're like me & want a sense before u set foot inside the door then u should check out the testimonials on their website. I tried to cut & paste mine here but it exceeded the text limit! Actually everybody should read the testimonials. When u look at their testimonials you will see the diversity of the clientele and how much we care about the gym & our respective trainers. The testimonials offer a very detailed and genuine peek into the gym so to speak. It's rare for a gym to get so many clients to actually write out testimonial -- even rarer for them to be so open and personal. That's true with respect to Facebook too. How many gym's have pages that customers actively engage with? They go beyond sharing just fitness info and celebrate their clients on that page & their clients appreciate it (yes, I am speaking from experience ). Symmetry is a like personalized gym community -- whoever u train with is going to work WITH you to accomplish YOUR goals. Everybody at the gym is going to cheer you on whatever those may be.

I did some research on the gyms near my sister's home in Naples. Addicted to fitness seemed like the best bet but was concerned if it had enough of the equipment I needed based on reading the website. For a change it was the website underselling just how good this place really is. Image you were a billionaire and had your own gym for you and your friends to use. What would I expect? That it wouldn't be a massive set of treadmills it wouldn't be a pocket gym with no manager just a card. The place would have been decorated not feel like a basement. The staff would welcome you by name. There'd be free wi-fi access to water and coffee and men and woman's bathrooms with showers. The machines would be new and in pristine shape. Owners Jon and Michelle were welcoming and actually took the time to show me which machines I'd need to do each part of my routine. Normally YOYO unless you have a trainer. But yes they have those too. Paraphrasing Ms Riding hood not too big not too small just right. And did I mention the free wifi and being called by name?

The trainers Melissa and Amanda are welcoming to everyone and encouraging throughout each workout. I really mean that. I have been to many gyms in my life and this one has figured it out. I feel accepted and welcomed whenever I have stepped foot in the gym. I look forward to getting up for a 9am or 10am saturday workout. (I mean if that doesn't say something - like hello, what gym makes you excited to get up at 7:30 on a Saturday morning after a long work week!?) This is a group HIIT workout gym where they have a set schedule of their classes Monday through Saturday. I have tried out many different group fitness style gyms and this one is the best by far. I love how they explain all of the exercises prior to starting, but they also check on everyone to make sure that you are doing the movement correctly. I think this is HUGE in maintaining a great workout and preventing injury. This gym is phenomenal and you can see how they've really built a strong community. Sign up for a free trial week of classes and see for yourself. It is a gym that values its members and is super welcoming to new comers! I've been going to classes as often as I can for a year now, so I'm confident in saying how wonderful this place is. The workouts are always different and target so many muscle groups that can easily be forgotten about when working out at traditional gyms on machines. Amanda and Melissa are great at explaining and demonstrating the workouts. They can also simplify or intensify each workout depending on your abilities which makes it a great workout now matter what your skill level is. Do yourself a favor and go do a workout at sweat fitness. It's 2022, new year, new gym, new you.

My responses to other people's comments: Signs - The owner has several signs around the gym state things they prefer not to do. They try to write the signs in a funny/humorous context and I honestly don't mind them. Canceling memberships - Members do have to sign a contract when joining this gym. Per the contract, you're obligated to pay for the first year if you leave early unless you can produce a doctor's note or something similar. After one year, you can leave at any time with no penalties. This was clearly explained to me before I joined it is written in the contract. Dog -The owner does have a large dog that is sometimes at the gym. I've never see the dog interact with any of the gym members. Typically, he stays by his master at all times and doesn't interact with anybody. Owners' attitude - There is a man and a woman who operate the facility. The man appears to be the owner and the female appears to be either his wife or girlfriend. Both appear happy to answer any questions but keep to themselves for the most part unless approached. I join this gym primarily due to location. It's very close to my workplace and I can exercise on my lunch hour. Below are my own personal feelings about the advantages and disadvantages of this gym. Pros Newer equipment Clean and well organized environment Helpful staff Location Open all the time Cons Small gym with a limited variety of equipment Equipment is mid range / relatively basic Limited space for dressing and undressing - only two people can change it one time No lockers to secure your personal items Overall, it's a nice gym but, by the same token, not really exceptional in any certain way.
