FT Client, Art Campbell Kilt it in Competition


Art, why did you come to Fitness Together?
My big fitness goal, over and above being healthy and feeling good, has always been to toss the caber, a Scottish pastime that most people call throwing telephone poles around. Caber tossing is just one event of a highland games though -- throwing stones and heavy weights around make a full day of fun. (The caber toss is a leftover from castle-storming days -- you'd flip a tree end-over-end to rest against the wall, then run up the limbs visit the inhabitants.)

How has Fitness Together helped you?
Jess and other Fitness Together trainers helped me realize my goal after a year or so of work, when I competed in my first Scottish Heavy Athletics competition in Charlton recently. She is a great trainer and has always been willing to do research to figure out a good training program for this kind-of-unusual sport. And has never once asked what I wear under my kilt.

What's next for Art?
I'm competing in the Scottish Games on June 2nd at Old Orchard Beach, Maine. Now the next goal is to move out of the novice ranks!

FT CLIENT SUCCESS STORY
Julia Tate

What motivated you to come to FT? 
It is a necessity for me due to my medical condition.

What challenge(s) brought you here?
I have Spondylolisthesis that causes my lower back pain, muscle tightness and stiffness.  This condition has been with me for many years and to avoid the pain I became more and more inactive. My body became less and less flexible and weaker overall as a result.

How has FT helped you?
FT is a one on one training place. My Trainers are knowledgeable about my physical condition. They are friendly, encouraging, and pushing me. Through exercise I am strengthening my supportive abdominal and back muscles. My whole body seems to be much stronger. I don't have knee pain and other ache and pain all over my body.

What can you do now that you were unable to do before?
I can stand and walk straight, no more pain anywhere. I can walk upstairs without having to pull myself on the railing now. My flexibility is back and I have more energy, more confident and happier. 

What would you say to a friend considering FT?
Definitely should give it a try and sooner better then later.
