Review for Strength For Life Inc, Kings Park, NY, USA

Rating: 5 stars

Needless to say, I was less active than I was before the surgeries and less active than I could have been given the proper training to help me deal with less range of motion and lymphedema. Strength for Life weekend was really the first concentrated fitness centered activity I have done in four and a half years. This program is life affirming and confidence building to help deal with a new physical self. The instructors were professional and caring, the workshops were educational and fun . The accommodation were very comfortable and relaxing.
