Ms. Wendy Shelley
GayleForce® Senior Fitness Client:
A Journey to Strength & Confidence
At 86 years young, Ms. Wendy Shelley had never formally exercised, but she knew she needed to make a change. She wanted to improve her balance, regain confidence in her movement, and feel stronger in her everyday life. When she came to GayleForce®, my goal was clear—to design a personalized training approach that would meet her where she was while guiding her toward greater mobility, stability, and strength.
Over seven weeks and 14-sessions, we focused on functional movement, balance training, and building her overall confidence. By tailoring exercises specifically to her needs, we not only enhanced her physical abilities but also empowered her with the knowledge and tools to continue improving long after our sessions.
Ms. Shelley’s transformation was remarkable—not just physically, but in her renewed enthusiasm for movement and life. Her story is a testament to what’s possible when the right training meets the right mindset.
In Ms. Shelley's own words:
Ms. Sharon Gayle
GayleForce® Health & Fitness Alliance
Dear Coach Sharon:
With only seven weeks (14 sessions) to perform magic, you aced it! You promised "functionality", but the real result became balance, flexibility, balance, agility, balance, and a HUGE amount of confidence overall.
HUGE "confidence" in being able to step off the sidewalk without losing my balance!
Confidence to see how much I know l've improved in this time! Confidence to not waddle to walk! Confidence to share the gym with another condo resident! Stand up straight, eyes front and looking forward, shoulders down, elbows at waist, toes up --- form over speed every time, and no pain with all that gain! Little things mean a lot, as the song goes.
How fortunate (lucky!) we met just as I was about to give up, that I'd ever (properly) exercise enough to make a difference (having "never" exercised most of my 86 years!). You were able to change my whole attitude from blah and discouraged to excited and looking forward to learning more. My gym-times are quite special.
You are a thoroughly remarkable woman. I am SO grateful you were my Coach!
