What clients say about Amy...

“Thank you so much for the class last night! I thought I would wake up and not be able to move due to soreness but I feel amazing! I just went for a morning run! I love what I am learning and never thought I could get back to where I was a year ago before my accident, I know now that I CAN!” 

~ Lonny, Charlotte, NC

“Amy, had a great run this am on the greenway at Freedom Park.  Ran from the park to Vivace and back in around 38 min.  Maybe 2 miles?   I slowed down to a walk when my heart rate monitor was over my upper limit.  I  love my shoes and the laces didn’t come untied. One thing I’m most pleased about is that I ran more than I walked.  hope you chi-d on this beautiful weekend.”

“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! Just really quickly, we did about 4 miles this morning trying REALLY hard to keep it all together (and not sit!!!!! Elongate my spine! Look up!  Relax the shoulders! Check in with my feet! Belly button-spine! Don’t spill my Chi!  Knees down! don’t sit! Lean from ankles, not waist! Right elbow in! Don’t spill the water!).  The uphills were AMAZING!  What a difference the 45deg angle makes.  Breathing was better than ever.I have to say I felt like I was going sooooooo slow! But as it turns out, I wasn’t!   No problem with my hip and Pete felt good, too.  He BLAZED the first mile at 7:32!! So the stats are this:  My per-mile pace was 9:15 average (about 15 sec/mile faster than my last four runs).  Pete’s average was 8:20!   So briefly: THANK YOU!!!”

“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 attended 3 hours worth of chi running training on Nov. 1st, 2008. I learned a great deal from Amy and LOVED it!! I have been incorporating it in my running and it is amazing how much easier it is to run up a hill!!! Thanks for allowing me to participate!!  I find myself correcting my posture through the day now!  Thanks so much!!”

~ Braden, Charlotte, NC

“Your class today was fantastic.”

~ Clyde, Charlotte, NC

“The flying feeling was really fun and not something I had felt since I was a kid!”

~ Liz Charlotte, NC

“Amy,  thank you!!!  I have been running again for the first time in a long time and I have to say I am very excited.  I will definitely keep you recommendations in mind.  I appreciate you taking the time to follow up – I know how important time is these days…… Great class!!!”

~ Diane, Charlotte, NC

“Hello Amy, Your instruction has really paid off.  I ran 6.07 miles yesterday which is a new record for me.  Of course, pain free and with a reasonable amount of energy used.  Chi Running has given me the confidence for my Tough Mudder training that I will be able to finish it from a cardio standpoint.  The obstacles are another story!  I cannot thank you enough for transforming my poor running technique into an efficient and effective form.  I still find that sometimes I fall into bad habits (dropping my arms, not leaning forward enough) but am able to recognize it immediate and make the necessary corrections. Wishing you the best!”
