What clients say about Amy...

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.

“Amy, I just want to thank you for Saturday’s session.  I learned so much and had fun!  I’m practicing my running and walking!  Thanks!” 

~ Laura

“Thanks, Amy.  Seeing the video was really helpful. When I did my workout tonight, I really focused on keeping my stride much smaller and having my legs land right underneath my body and my arms going back instead of reaching forward. I went much slower, but it felt really good.  I ran 8 minutes, then walked 2 and repeated that 4 times, and for the first time ever, at the end of the running segments, instead of feeling like I was going to collapse, I felt like if I had needed to keep running, instead of walking, I could have done it.  That was amazing!”

~ Alison R. Charlotte, NC

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

~ Liz Charlotte, NC

“Thanks Amy.   I really appreciated the class.  I got a lot out of it.  It is definitely helpful to have a live instructor.  The books and on line videos are great but limited as they can’t observe the reader/viewer implementing the techniques.”

~ Dael W., Charlotte, NC

“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
 
“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.”
~ JH, Mount Holly, NC

“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

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.”

“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! “
