Fitness Consulting

I had the pleasure of meeting with Jodi Garies today. She's a trainer at a local gym (Howland Place Fitness) and one of her clients had contacted me regarding taking a Learn-To-Row class. Through a series of emails I called Jodi to see who else she was training also enjoyed using the rowing machine. Not only does she have a few clients that enjoy the erg, but she also has at least one fella that rowed in college.

We exchanged all sorts of fliers and business cards, but I'm also interested in seeing if Jodi can do some personal consultations with some of our athletes. We (the coaches) often see some strange body behavior that is due to things other than muscles. Sometimes it's posture, sometimes it's tightness in areas like IT bands, sometimes it's flat feet. Professionals can diagnosis this sort of stuff much better than we can and can implement a series of exercises or stretches for athletes to do to rectify any issues. With Jodi understanding rowing, she can really tailer the consultations for our athletes. Plus, I think we should get her in a boat!!
