Testimonials
Quality of Life
"In 2005, I was about 40 pounds overweight and had been diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. Although I didn't have to take any medication for my diabetes, it was still of great concern to my doctor. She told me I needed to lose the weight, change my diet, and start an exercise program. Shortly after that, I started working out at the Hallett Center. When I started, I could barely do five minutes of cardio. I have been coming to the Hallett Center for over three years now and I'm 40 pounds lighter and I don't have diabetes anymore. I can now run at least 40 minutes on the treadmill and even did the 5K last summer. The classes are fun, the staff is always friendly and helpful, and I truly believe my membership has not only added years to my life, but has improved my quality of life greatly.

When my doctor informed me that I had broken my neck and would never be able to move my arms to should level again...the future looked pretty grim. In 2003, I joined the Hallett Community Center. Through water aerobics and light weight training I have made great improvements. I currently experience less pain and improved motion. However, I have noticed that if I neglect to exercise on a regular basis my condition regresses. The Fitness Center staff have been very supportive, and has taught me the importance of exercising within my limitations. My doctor has been impressed with the way my condition has been maintained with my exercise program. The quality of my life has improved tremendously. Words cannot express the impact the Hallett Community Center's fitness center has had on my life!

"This program is my lifeline. I came here on the recommendation of physical therapy while undergoing treament for knee problems, a broken ankle, and arthritis. The improvement is remarkable. I can once again walk two to three miles with no difficulty...in fact, I am in better shape than some of my younger friend who are 15 years younger."
