Edie Eckerle's Story

I have worked out and maintained a healthy lifestyle my whole adult life. Now that I am retired, I travel a lot and love to cycle. A couple years ago, I went on a 2-week bike tour overseas where I would cycle 35-45 miles a day. Although my endurance fitness was good I noticed that I really lacked strength.

David Drinks, the owner of the Med Gym, did a presentation on functional fitness at our bike club and I was intrigued by his straightforward approach and passion on health and wellness. I have worked with trainers in the past, but I knew I needed more, something customized with long-term benefits and measurable goals and results for my health and fitness. That is when I received a personalized exercise program and nutrition coaching from The Med Gym. Over the next 6-weeks, the trainers helped me achieve my fitness goals, and I was able to face my 2-week bike tour without reservation! My program changed, as my fitness level and strength increased.

My primary trainer is Kade, and with Kade’s programming, I have seen life-changing results with my mental, emotional, and physical health. With all the traveling I do, it is so great to have the accountability when I get back to continue my strength building when I am home. Even on days that I am jet-lagged, or low-energy, I feel so great when I leave. I can do pretty much everything I could do, when I was decades younger. My suggestion for anyone who is thinking about joining a gym is to make an appointment with The Med Gym. Regardless of your fitness level, age, or how you are feeling that day, the expertise that The Med Gym provides will help you feel so strong and confident.
