What clients say about Amy...

 
“Hi Amy, Just a note to say thanks. My 11.5 run on Sunday went FAR better than last week’s 10 miler. While heat obviously had an impact last week, I cannot believe the difference in the my energy and my thoughts. You are spot on with it requires constant focus but then that repairs so many of the problems. I must have said “1-2-3″ thousands of times but went up the hills faster and finished at a 45 second per minute pace faster than the previous week and still felt good enough to take the family apple picking yesterday afternoon.  I plan on using this routinely now as I genuinely felt a significant difference.”

“Amy, Thanks for the workshop! I actually just got back from a run in my neighborhood tonight and it was my best run ever!  I was able to run longer than I ever have in previous runs, so obviously I did learn quite a bit from the workshop!  I was afraid I was not going to be able to implement the tips you gave us due to my frustrations with my shins. However, I actually ran with much less pain this evening and got excited about running again.  Thank you!! I  also just bought the Chi running book today that you told us about during the workshop.  I hope to read it, practice some more, and then if you are willing to work with me again I would like to attend another workshop to work more on perfecting the correct posture and strike.  You are a great and extremely patient instructor!  I appreciate that!

“Thanks again for your good coaching. I have walked a couple of times at 1/2 hour and once for 1 hours (a little calf soreness, but not bad). The shorter walks left me with NO lower back pain, NO breathlessness, and NO calf soreness. They were GREAT. I feel that you’ve given me the tools for a life change — back to regular exercise, pain-free. I’m still working on maintaining focus, but everything seems  to be working together.  Thanks again.”

~ Lloyd E, Greenville

“It felt like I wasn’t running.”

~ Amy C. Charlotte, NC

Thanks Amy!  I have been working on it all week.  One of the biggest items that has helped me……… is how to run down hills!  My knees don’t hurt!!  I showed my husband last night because he was struggling Thursday when we did our massive hill run.  Enjoyed the class.”

~ Tara, Rock Hill, NC

“Amy – I really enjoyed the workshop, and got a lot out of it. I walked 6 hours that afternoon…. Practiced what I learned. It really makes a difference! “

~ Terry W. Charlotte, NC, an Avon Charlotte Breast Cancer Walker (39 miles) 
I’ve begun running again over the past few weeks and without pain! I’ve been slowly ramping up my distance and ran 4 miles this morning, again without pain. I’ve been focusing on the form you taught me and I think that has helped tremendously, especially utilizing the shorter strides. I’ve also been more diligent about stretching out my hips regularly which I also think has helped a ton.
 
I’m hoping to get back up to 6 miles soon to join the  crew on Saturday mornings but will keep you posted on my progress.

“I had a great time and the class helped me so so much…thank you! Chi on ;-)”

~ Maha

“My back does not hurt anymore when I run!!!”

~ Elizabeth D.  Charlotte, NC

Hey Amy! The running is going great.  I’ve really seen a difference after implementing Chi running.  I’ve had no back pain and relatively no soreness after each run.  Yesterday, I tackled the hills of Ballantyne (aptly called “The Soul Crusher”) and felt very happy with my performance (thanks to those 45 degree arms!)  I’m still slower than my average but I’m okay with that. Right now, my main focus is on the alignment and keeping my arms by my sides.  I’m really excited and can’t wait to continue with the progress.”
