Aging isn't slowing down, it's moving smarter
Welcome to Mount Carmel Fitness
Where dedication to helping you achieve your health and fitness goals through personalized training plans and lifestyle modifications is the gold standard. Having spent many years dealing with a shoulder issue after rotator cuff surgery, in and out of PT clinics with little to no results, I knew there had to be another form of physical rehabilitation that would leave me feeling like I was actually getting better, not just convincing myself for the time being. I was introduced to the world of Neurological Exercise, exercising for your brain and your nervous system, and not just for strength. It was then that my shoulder movement improved, my posture improved, and my anxiety levels decreased.As an Exercise Physiologist, I blend neurological exercises together with traditional Strength and Conditioning principles, along with proper nutrition, and motivation, we will create results that not only last, but leave you moving better and understanding why.
