"Movement tells the story of your life. As we open up areas that are 'stuck', we open ourselves to discover anew. It's true with your body... and it's true with your heart." Lou Gardner

During 2007-2008, Lou developed the very unique exercise program called Strength Express for which she is now well known. She began offering it at Kelly Rec in March of 2009. Strength Express accommodates small groups and Lou is very happy that she can now offer a valid and safe strength-training program! Momentum is minimized in order to ensure that the muscles do all the work while at the same time the joints and connective tissues are protected from injury. Every movement is done in accordance with joint and muscle function Mark Maglischo
