Louise joined RehabFit in May 2016. She is a regular attendee of the 8 am Strength & Balance Performance Class. Louise’s goal was to strengthen her legs to prepare for a knee replacement surgery. After surgery, she attended Choice PT and continued to rehab her knee at RehabFit. Louise is currently preparing for her second knee replacement. 

Why did you decide to join RehabFit?

When I moved from Laconia to Plymouth I was looking for a new fitness center and found RehabFit. I was looking for a gym to strengthen my lower body to prepare for a knee replacement surgery. RehabFit has a great strength and balance class that challenges me and helped me prepare for the knee replacement. 

What changes have you made in your exercise or health routine since joining RehabFit?

When I started at RehabFit I was using the treadmill and stationary bike. Since then I have learned how to do strength training using the machines and free weights. The strength and balance class has also helped with whole body strengthening.

What motivates you to keep exercising and coming to RehabFit?

I started the strength and balance class to prepare for my knee replacement surgery; I found it very helpful so I came back. I wanted to continue to get stronger so I came back two months after my surgery. I am now preparing for my next knee surgery.

 What changes have you seen in your body, health or general well being since starting at RehabFit?

My weight used to fluctuate a lot and now it is more stabilized. I am feeling better and stronger overall.

 Have you had any setbacks that affected your routine or progress at RehabFit?

I had a shoulder injury and received physical therapy at Choice PT. I also attended therapy for my knee replacement. I had good results both times!

 What kind of advice would you give to other RehabFit members?

Try to get to RehabFit at least 3 times a week. Definitely join the strength and balance performance class!
