Story

John at 55 years old, is in the advanced stages of Alzheimer’s. John has always been an active person, weight lifting, running and earning a black belt in a martial arts program. As his disease  progressed, it became difficult for John to find a gym or a personal trainer that would work with him to continue his active lifestyle. After years of looking for the right fit, we were blessed to have met Theresa Cordova, owner of GEM fitness, along with Tom, his personal trainer,  who have taken a special interest in John and his fitness goals. John has been working with Tom for about a year now and his twice a week personal training sessions are the highlight of his week! Not only do they work on building muscle, they work on other important skills like how to get off the floor if he falls. This program has been lifesaving for John and we are forever grateful for the support of Theresa and Tom. ❤️💪🏻

Please help John, support this program, Mind over Matter, so they can continue to help others with neurological diseases keep strong and fit for life!
