Maggie AKA therapy dog

A welcoming and ever loving creature, Maggie is a source of comfort when your muscles are burning and your heart is pounding. Nick named ‘therapy dog’, she came to us from a family who knew she wasn’t getting the kind of play and exercise she needed. After losing 10% of her body weight, her MOJO is back and she’s the fastest dog at the park. Maggie’s transformation has been incredible.

“The Urbanfitt team inspires me to go to the limits of my strength, with full respect for my range of ability. After a year and a half of working out, I feel fit and powerful in a way that I never thought possible. (And I look pretty darn good, too, if I may say so myself).”

Anna Korteweg, Associate Professor

“After extended bed rest during my pregnancy and then a c-section, I found myself caring for infant twins as I struggled to cope with chronic back pain. In fact I was in the worst physical condition of my life. After months trying everything from physiotherapy, acupuncture, chiropractic treatment and osteopathy — I found Urbanfitt and Jane. Within six weeks of regular work-out sessions with Jane, my back pain had diminished significantly and I started feeling dramatically better. I’ve been working out with Jane for more than a year now. I weigh less than I have in years – but more importantly – I feel better and have loads more energy (which is a good thing – as parenting twins and managing a full-time job certainly requires energy!). Jane has a truly wonderful way of encouraging physical effort while at the same time engaging with the whole person.”

“Getting into shape (and changing my shape) has made getting older easier to deal with. I’m 45 and after years of being able to eat whatever and whenever, and never having to exercise, everything suddenly caught up with me and I was feeling sluggish, flabby, weak and depressed. Now that I am gaining control over my body through exercise and watching what I eat, life has improved. I feel and look a lot better and when you are getting older, feeling healthier means a lot.

A friend of mine in her 40’s recently told me that she knows quite a few people who are much more fit in their 40’s and 50’s ++ than they ever were in their 20’s and 30’s.I think that’s me. The benefit of being able to run and move and build muscle is so amazing that even though I am pushing 50 soon, I am really pushing it away. That’s huge psychologically.

Thanks go to A.R and K. W. and of course, Jane.”
