Kiersten first found Mountain View Wellness the old-school wayโ€”by spotting one of our flyers at the gym. One morning, she stopped me with a big smile and a hilarious question:

๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ โ€œSoโ€ฆ Iโ€™m 40, but what if I identify as someone 40 or older?โ€

She was referring to our poster that says we specialize in coaching women 40 and up. Kiersten may not be numerically โ€œoldโ€ (what does that even mean, anyway? ๐Ÿ˜„), but she joked that her knees definitely qualified! ๐Ÿฆต๐Ÿ’ฅ

You see, Kiersten is a farmer ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐ŸŒพโ€”and during the off-season, she noticed her knees feeling weaker and achier. She came to us with a clear and powerful goal:

๐Ÿ’ช To feel less pain and build more strength
๐ŸŒฑ So she could start the growing season strong and energized.

Now, nearly three months into her program with us, weโ€™re happy to report:

โœ… Her knees are feeling better
โœ… Her strength is up
โœ… And most importantlyโ€ฆ sheโ€™s gained confidence, consistency, and a spark that lights up the gym every time she walks in. โœจ

Kiersten, thank you for trusting us.
Weโ€™ll miss your smiling face ๐Ÿ˜Š and shiny attitude ๐ŸŒž at the gym, but weโ€™re looking forward to seeing you at the farmerโ€™s market soon! ๐Ÿฅฌ๐Ÿงบ
