Together we have a total of 11 years membership at Body Synergy Gym.  Both of us were advised to consult Rowan and attend the gym by physiotherapist Steve August.  Patricia had ongoing degenerative back and neck problems for many years and Ian injured himself on a tramping expedition.  The pain we have experienced in the past we prefer not to revisit.  So we are delighted with the attention we have received at Body Synergy.

Rowan's methods make sense to us.  The range of exercises has improved our posture, strengthened weak and lazy muscle groups, dramatically reduced or removed pain and improved our all round levels of fitness.  Patricia's programme has been adjusted recently in response to EMG testing.  As a result a very stubborn but acute pain, felt while seated, has disappeared.  

An added bonus in pain management has been having massage available on site from Rowan or Katherine.  We also thoroughly enjoy the social aspects of Body Synergy.  Most important of all to us, though, is the vigilance and encouragement of  the trainers who are always available to assist us.  This is a safe place in which to exercise.  The weight loss programme is worth investigating too.  It works!  When we renew our annual membership we are convinced it is money well spent.

At a combined age of 130 years we never expected to be so happily active at any gym!  Body Synergy Gym, under Rowan and Kylie's leadership, provides us with the very best of experiences.
