When Mary first came to Mint Condition Fitness, she was struggling with basic strength.
“I had very little strength. I was very weak. I considered myself just kind of a bag of bones.”
She had a clear vision of what she wanted: to be able to travel, to handle daily tasks without fear of falling, and to maintain her independence without having to ask for help.
But, she didn’t just want to maintain her lifestyle. She wanted to reclaim her strength and feel capable again. And she did.
“I gained a lot of strength. I can do things that I never was able to do before.”

Today, Mary is not only lifting more than her body weight, but she’s also moving furniture, taking out the garbage down a hill, and living with confidence.
“When you’re younger, there are simple things you just don’t realize get harder and harder as you get older.”
At 69, Mary doesn’t think of herself as old. She’s outpacing people years younger than her and staying fully engaged in the activities she loves.
“I’m still able to do the things that most people in their fifties can do.”
One of the biggest factors in her progress has been the coaching.
“I love the trainers. They really get to know you very well. Know what your needs are, what you’re good at, and what you need to do better.”
She also values the structure and consistency that comes with having a plan and a coach to hold her accountable.

When asked what she would tell someone who’s hesitant to start a program, Mary doesn’t hesitate.
“Do it. Because it makes a huge difference in your life. It has been a huge, huge improvement in my life and in my health.”
