Improved Flexibility and Muscle Gain for Active Grandparenting in Austin

I'm much more flexible now than I was. I feel better. You know, sometimes it's hard to get up and go work out in the mornings, but I feel better when I do it. I've gained muscle much easier to get up and down off the floor when I'm playing with my grandkids. You know, I just feel it's been a very positive experience for me. I'm Becky Brinley. I live in Austin, Texas and I go to Alloy at Lake Line in Austin. I have always enjoyed working out, but since COVID, I quit. I had worked out before COVID and COVID kind of stopped but I felt myself getting older. I needed to get some flexibility back. I wanted to get my body working better, getting up from the floor better, I think my fear or guess my trepidation at first was the cost of alloy. It is a lot more expensive than most gyms. Very small classes. There's no more than six people in a class. So I found that it's, even though there may be other people in the class, you still get very personalized care. So I felt like it was really getting a good ⁓ personal training at a good cost. I have had a personal COVID and I have done group training for many different years. Everything from aerobic dance high impact aerobics and all of that in my much younger years. You know, alloy is so different because it is a small classes. You have a trainer right there that comes up and says, no, you know, do this, you know, hold your arms this way, do this, do a class with, you know, 40 or 50 people in it where the trainer is up in the front of the room and everybody and probably giving that personal touch, But at Alloy, they're all over the floor. You know, the trainer is right there next to you so get the most from your body. I have enjoyed the friends that I've made there and the support that I've gotten, not just from the trainers, other people in the classes. last week in class there was an older gentleman and there was a girl who was ⁓ probably younger than I am, gentleman said, you're lifting bigger weights than I am. And she said, yes, but I've been doing this longer and you'll be doing it soon too. So it's that kind of support you get and that kind of, it's okay to be where you are right now and to do what you can and work on that. You know, I would tell somebody that was ⁓ thinking about joining to plunge right in there and do it. That it is a good experience. The trainers are very good. They provide that personalized service to just get in there and try it and, you know, see what, see if it's what they want. I'm sure it's not what everybody wants. But I have just totally loved my classes and loved the people there.
