I received a message one day from a lady named Terry Rosencrantz.  On the message she was wanting to know more about what I did regarding personal training, if I did that at all.  Immediately, I called her back and scheduled a time to meet with her at the Starbucks in Wallingford. 

As we met Terry gave me an extensive medical and physical history background along with her fitness goals.  This gave me all the crucial information I needed to start program designing for her.  These are what her goal were:

1) Lose weight

2) Train for the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure

3) Increase strength

After we met that day at the Wallingford Starbucks what Terry didn't know at the time was, she was never going to be the same again.

Our journey began in the basement and garage of her home.  There we started her strength and conditioning program.  She first started walking, using 5-10lbs dumbbells and medicine balls, and doing push-ups(on her knees), lunges, sit-ups, stairs, sit-ups.

Now when we started we would walk 1 mile every morning as a warm-up.  I would tell her that "one day we'd be running this" and she would alway say,"Okay" as if I was crazy and she was simply humoring me by responding.  Now walking was not new to Terry, she had been walking with a group of close friends for years but running would be completely new. About 6 months later we were running 1 mile every morning which quickly turned into 2-3 miles 8-9 months later. 

Two years later Terry has conquered all of her initial goals, has made new goals and some of them have already been conquered but the story doesn't stop here.  Terry continues to live a very active lifestyle.  She swims, runs, bikes, participates in olympics lifting, gymnastics, plyometrics on a weekly basis.  Terry is also register for the Lake Steven's 1/2 Ironman this upcoming August.

Terry is a huge inspiration to all who know her and also to the people she meets.  She is always quick to encourage everyone and invite others to StoneWay CrossFit.  When something changes your life so radically you can not stop talking about or believing in it because you know first hand the power and strength of it.
