Meet Pat and Joy!
Pat and Joy knew they needed to make lifestyle changes but weren’t sure where to start. After each completed their own physical therapy, they were referred to and encouraged to do the Momentum Program at Tamarac. Since completing the 12-week program both agree that “the Momentum Program has changed our lives 100%!”
Pat quit smoking, lost weight, is no longer on insulin, and has lowered his A1C. With tears in his eyes, Pat shared that he never thought all these changes were possible but having the support of Joy and everyone at Tamarac he is living a happier and healthier life.
Joy has also stopped smoking and lost weight. She shared that, “working with our trainer, Nina, was great. Nina took into consideration our physical and mental conditions. She listened and watched, she moved us to different machines to help make us more comfortable and taught us how to use the machines in different ways”.
Pat and Joy both agreed that doing the program together helped with accountability and encouragement.
This year Pat and Joy planted a garden and noted that last year they would not have been able to manage a garden and would have needed help to keep it up. Now with their health changes, they don’t need help and are managing it themselves.
Since completing the Momentum Program, Pat and Joy continue to come to Tamarac. They love the atmosphere and say the people are great and they enjoy seeing those of all ages utilizing the facility.
Great job, Pat and Joy, and congratulations on your success!
