Trial Lawyer Gains Strength and Stamina to Keep Up With Family

Moxie Fitness is a place that everyone should go. Courtney, at Moxie Fitness, gets to know her clients, wants to work with her clients to make them be stronger, to be healthier, be more capable of performing in whatever capacity they need to perform. Whether it's work, whether it's as an athlete, whether it's just getting by and through the day as an older individual, she has a solution for everyone and is very attuned to what does and does not work. Hi, my name is Susan Box. I'm from Hudson, Ohio and I'm a lawyer by profession. Before working with Courtney at Moxie my life was good but I felt like as I got older I needed to do more to eat better, to work out, to get in shape. I'm older, I have young kids and I wanted to be able to keep up with them. What made me say "yes" to Courtney and what makes me stay with Courtney... First of all, she's one of the smartest women I know. She is always uplifting, She always has a solution and if that solution doesn't work she has another solution. I'm almost 65 and she knows what exercises are good for me. She pushes me and if something doesn't work she has other avenues to go down. So the thing that actually prevents me from working out - or at least has in the past - is my job. I'm a trial lawyer. I try cases all over the country and so it was very convenient for me to say, "I don't have time for this." I had small kids at the time They were in school. They had a lot of activities. And so, all of those excuses were very convenient and thankfully Courtney worked with me and urged me to make the time, which I did. Which has become easier as I have worked with her for - I don't know, six - eight years. The things that I tried in the past that didn't work for me is working out at home. if it looked like "another appointment" for me on my calendar then somehow in my brain I needed to make that appointment, be on time, make sure that I was there, every week or a couple of times a week. We had weights in our basement. We have a treadmill in our basement and I never really use those. So, having that appointment and honestly having the person to urge me to do more, lift more, run more because on my own I am very happy to go, 'Oh, I'm supposed to be 12. 10's probably okay. And I'm supposed to go at 3.5 on the treadmill, oh 3 is probably okay. And I'm supposed to go 10 minutes - mmm, 8 minutes is okay.' And honestly, I just need that person that says, "okay, we were going to go 10, let's go 11 today." She's really good at that and knowing kind of how much to push me to do more and get more out of my workouts. She knows so much about science, she knows so much about how your body works. I never leave a session with her without learning something new and it's just amazing to me. So, my life has changed since I've been working with Courtney and some of the ways that it has changed is that I feel like I treat myself better, treat my body better, and as a result I am working out more on my own. I feel like I have more stamina. I feel like I get more rest. I feel better all around, having fun with my kids who are now young adults. We snow ski, we have a small cottage at a lake and we water ski and I feel like I can do those things without fear of hurting myself. Now, I probably could still hurt myself but... I feel more comfortable, I guess, doing a lot of activities that I might not feel that comfortable doing without having worked out and feeling strong. I'd recommend Courtney to anybody. I have been trying to get my husband to go see her because she is so incredibly smart and knowledgeable. The plan that she makes for you, fits you. And she has talked generally about other folks that she might work with who are - they might be 21 or they might be 75 or 85 - and I know that she is smart enough, knowledgeable enough about how your body works to make a plan for each one of those people that is appropriate for them. So, I would recommend her to anyone.
