I am 74 years old and feel strong and healthy! I contribute this to the 5+ years Emily Morgan has been my personal trainer. She instructs me in strength training and balance plus suggestions for good nutrition.

Working with Emily Morgan these past two years has opened my eyes to physical health and all it encompasses. She offers more than a “workout”.
