I was nervous about starting after a knee injury, but my trainer at FTF in Allentown worked with me to rebuild my strength safely. Now I’m hiking the local trails again — something I thought was off the table.

At 62, I wanted to stay active but didn’t know where to start. The team at FTF created a program that’s kept me healthy and independent. I even joined their yoga classes and love how it complements my training.
