At 64, Kathy Rios has four kids and eight grandchildren!  That alone is a huge accomplishment, but it is just one of the AMAZING things that we love about Kathy.

Kathy is helpful to everyone, active in the community, very positive, and always brings high energy into her small functional group training sessions in the morning.
Why Kathy LOVES YPB….

“It’s an inclusive program, where you become a part of a community, you’re with a group that cares about you, and I love my connection with Your Personal Best.”  -Kathy Rios, 64

As Functional Aging Specialists, we have the best certifications! We pay attention to detail and love working with people above the age of 50!  We make it fun! And we take people’s specific needs and personalities into consideration. We also work on all aspects of functional longevity and do not just put you through a generic exercise routine.

The small group training sessions are an excellent way for you to be around people with the same mindset and goals that you have.

When we go over your initial evaluation and consultation, we ask questions that the average trainer wouldn’t ask.

• What are your goals?
• Do you have injuries, physical limitations, or medical conditions?
• Have you had a joint replacement or surgeries?
• Have you discussed fitness with your physician?

Next, these questions are for us to know you better and see how we can help you move better, feel better, and age actively.

Kathy’s Success

Kathy has not only lost body fat, but she has gained muscle, lost inches around her waist, and feels much better overall then when she first started.  The best thing about her exercising is not something that anyone can see, but it’s something she can feel.

Kathy has reduced her blood pressure medication, and both she and her doctor are thrilled about that.  She works hard, is dedicated, and likes to see the results from the effort she puts into her workouts.

“I feel so much better, and I know that this is going to be a lifestyle I’m going to stick with.” 

Some of you may not know it but we used to train anyone who came our way, young and old. Andrew Mason-Leister spent some time in my studio years ago and has remained a loyal Facebook and newsletter follower ever since.

I received the following testimonial in response to an email that was sent out. Here’s the article again if you forgot what it said. Vacation Proof Your Client​ ​​

A Former Client Testimonial

“I messed up horribly a few months ago when I started my dieting and exercise lifestyle change.  When I got to Bagram, Afghanistan and settled into my room I looked in the mirror and decided I should take a picture to look back to when I need some motivation to keep with it when I dont want to go to the gym at 5am or for when I return home. Well, I took the picture and a couple of days later I looked at it and decided it was too gross and embarrassing to look at anymore.  I deleted it.

3 months now into my transformation, using diet and exercise techniques I learned from you some years back, I’ve gotten much stronger and have dropped over 15 pounds of body weight (hopefully mostly fat).  My body looks MUCH better than it did before.  Still needs work but a lot of progress has been made.

The disappointing part of all this is that I can’t look back and tell myself that I don’t want to be “this” fat again because I deleted the picture I took at the beginning of my journey.  I hate that I have nothing to compare to and it makes it more difficult to appreciate the progress that I have made.

Moral of the story, don’t be embarrassed of how you looked like in the past, for that was the motivation for transformation.

Make sure you tell your clients NOT to delete or discard such pictures! 

Needless to say I still feel great and feel like I’ve developed a “plan” – lifestyle – that I can stick to when I get back stateside. Thanks again for the lasting impact you’ve had on my family’s health.”
