LOCAL SAN DIEGAN, MARY SHELTON, STILL GOING STRONG AT 94!
We recently sat down with 94 year young Mary Shelton. A client of Addie’s personal training studio, we found out how Addie’s has contributed to her livelihood, by helping to increase her energy and fitness level, and overall quality of life. Mary was 88 years old at the time she enlisted Addie’s to help her in her workouts. She had a close friend who was working with a trainer at the time and was enjoying the results she was seeing. This helped Mary decide it was time for her to give personal training a try for herself.
Mary likes her independence. Her workouts at Addie’s allow her to continue to maintain this. Though Mary receives help on a weekly basis from aides that assist her around the house or accompany her to appointments, for the most part Mary is self-reliant.
She enjoys the increased energy, flexibility, and rejuvenation she receives from each workout. She also likes the assisted stretching her trainers perform with her. Mary is motivated by her ability to remain independent and she smiles when people assume she is in her 70’s. She appreciates the diversity of each training session as it helps keep working out from getting boring. In the past Mary tried walking outdoors, on treadmills, and even tai chi, but they didn’t offer her the same variety and change that personal training does.
Mary also knows that she is getting a safe and specifically tailored exercise program that works within her limitations which include a cervical spine fusion, macular degeneration, high blood pressure, and osteoporosis. It is this combined with the friendly atmosphere at Addie’s Studio that keeps Mary excited for each session. She also takes notice that her trainers really show an interest in her personally and her exercise goals. She believes that this is an important factor to her success because even though she has certain pre-existing conditions, she still gets a great workout that’s challenging and allows her to progress upward in her fitness program.
Besides staying fit with Addie’s Studio, Mary loves to be active as she has 3 kids who have given her 5 grand children who in turn have rewarded her with 4 great grandchildren! When she is not spending time with her precious loved ones she enjoys jazz concerts, symphonies, socializing with friends at lunches or dinners, and Mary does love to travel when she can.
Mary is one of many who have joined Addie’s Studio and have incorporated the culture of Addie’s into the fabric of their weekly routine. The studio boasts numerous clients who all have their own unique story and have turned their goals into a reality with the help of Addie’s.
