Stephen Fitness & Rehabilitation - London

If you don't move it, you lose it! How true was that for me. One year after suffering a severe leg injury and being incapable of pursuing physical fitness, I noted a Facebook posting by A J Stephen. It was a photo of A J with many smiling senior citizens at the Longworth Retirement Living facility. They had just completed a session with A J and learned about the benefits of exercise, whether one is 19 or 91! I trained as a registered nurse and know first hand that anyone who has the patience to work with seniors when their bodies are failing is a very special person. The FB posting made me message A J and I set up a consultation for personal training. I have been training, in the comfort of my home for one year and am pleased to have gained more mobility and strength. A J is a positive human being who encourages me to believe that I can be fit again. With baby steps, I am finally getting there. I believe that A J is making a huge difference in our community. :-)

I am 86 years old. I am in good health other than 3 years ago I broke the femur bone in my leg. One year later I developed osteoarthritis in my knee & hip followed by arthritis in my other leg. I could not stand by myself or walk.

My daughter in Illinois found Stephen Fitness and wanted me to to call them. But being stubborn I decided I didn't need any help, I could do it on my own. However I finally gave up and called A.J. He was very courteous and pleasant. He came to my home that afternoon and we got along right away.

I see improvement all the time. Sometimes very little, other times quite a lot. I can now stand by myself without hanging onto something and I am working on walking with a cane.

I know I will continue to improve as the year progresses thanks to A.J. and his team. I think he deserves 5 and a half Stars.

I have been working with AJ over the past few months and he has helped me to improve my overall strength. I find my in home exercise routines to be varied and challenging. I highly recommend AJ and am continuing to train with him over the next few months.

When AJ started with my Mom she had a lot of low back pain she couldn’t sit or sleep. After working with my mom her mobility was much improved and so was her quality of life. Highly recommended knowledgeable and professional and a great communicator.

A.J. has been working with my Dad for two years now and has developed a great rapport with him. My Dad suffers dementia and on days when he is very confused or agitated, A.J., with his calming approach, can always motivate him to get up and walk. He modifies his strategies based on the needs of my Dad on each particular day. A.J. not only works on building my Dad's mobility, but also builds his confidence, reduces his anxiety, and he knows how to deal with the changing moods that dementia can present. My Dad's face lights up when A.J. enters the room!
