What clients say about Amy...

“Thank you so much for the class last night! I thought I would wake up and not be able to move due to soreness but I feel amazing! I just went for a morning run! I love what I am learning and never thought I could get back to where I was a year ago before my accident, I know now that I CAN!” 

~ Lonny, Charlotte, NC

“Amy,  thank you!!!  I have been running again for the first time in a long time and I have to say I am very excited.  I will definitely keep you recommendations in mind.  I appreciate you taking the time to follow up – I know how important time is these days…… Great class!!!”

~ Diane, Charlotte, NC
 
“Hi Amy, Just a note to say thanks. My 11.5 run on Sunday went FAR better than last week’s 10 miler. While heat obviously had an impact last week, I cannot believe the difference in the my energy and my thoughts. You are spot on with it requires constant focus but then that repairs so many of the problems. I must have said “1-2-3″ thousands of times but went up the hills faster and finished at a 45 second per minute pace faster than the previous week and still felt good enough to take the family apple picking yesterday afternoon.  I plan on using this routinely now as I genuinely felt a significant difference.”
~ JH, Mount Holly, NC

“Amy! Just really quickly, we did about 4 miles this morning trying REALLY hard to keep it all together (and not sit!!!!! Elongate my spine! Look up!  Relax the shoulders! Check in with my feet! Belly button-spine! Don’t spill my Chi!  Knees down! don’t sit! Lean from ankles, not waist! Right elbow in! Don’t spill the water!).  The uphills were AMAZING!  What a difference the 45deg angle makes.  Breathing was better than ever.I have to say I felt like I was going sooooooo slow! But as it turns out, I wasn’t!   No problem with my hip and Pete felt good, too.  He BLAZED the first mile at 7:32!! So the stats are this:  My per-mile pace was 9:15 average (about 15 sec/mile faster than my last four runs).  Pete’s average was 8:20!   So briefly: THANK YOU!!!”

~ Donna, Mooresville, NC

“My back does not hurt anymore when I run!!!”

~ Elizabeth D.  Charlotte, NC
I’ve begun running again over the past few weeks and without pain! I’ve been slowly ramping up my distance and ran 4 miles this morning, again without pain. I’ve been focusing on the form you taught me and I think that has helped tremendously, especially utilizing the shorter strides. I’ve also been more diligent about stretching out my hips regularly which I also think has helped a ton.
 
I’m hoping to get back up to 6 miles soon to join the  crew on Saturday mornings but will keep you posted on my progress.

“Amy – I really enjoyed the workshop, and got a lot out of it. I walked 6 hours that afternoon…. Practiced what I learned. It really makes a difference! “

~ Terry W. Charlotte, NC, an Avon Charlotte Breast Cancer Walker (39 miles) 

“Thank you for the fast turn around on the video.  You did an awesome job Saturday!  After I got back home,  I tried to put some of it in action;  I went on a five mile run.  I felt a little bit of the pull and pain in my achilles tendons and calves.  Then I read your corrective actions last night and put them to work today during lunch and I not only have no pain, I think the tendons feel better than they did before I ran.”

~ Darrel, Savannah, GA

“Thanks Amy.   I really appreciated the class.  I got a lot out of it.  It is definitely helpful to have a live instructor.  The books and on line videos are great but limited as they can’t observe the reader/viewer implementing the techniques.”

~ Dael W., Charlotte, NC

“Amy, Just a note to tell you how much I enjoyed the workshop. I truly believe this technique will get me back to running and 5Ks.”

~ Karen, Atlanta, GA.
