FRIENDLY AND CUSTOMIZED FITNESS TRAINING

Need better balance or more strength, energy and endurance?

Wallace Fitness is an established personal training studio in downtown Mount Dora where you can receive personalized training specific for your needs.

The studio features a pleasant, positive environment where trainers are specifically trained to work with clients with limitations.

Sy and Angela Carkhuff, 81, look forward to going to Wallace Fitness three times a week. They consider studio owners Lincoln and Sine Wallace and the other trainers as part of their family.

“I came here a wreck,” says Sy, who was bothered by back pains and the inability to dance or do the sports he loved. That has all changed. “Now I’m a masterpiece,” Sy says. “No kidding. I’ve been coming about two years, and I have lost 60 pounds. The body works well, the brain, and now the mind works well. Wallace Fitness is designed to help anyone who wants to live a long and youthful life, and they have saved mine.”

Other clients credit the fitness studio for helping them become healthier to where they no longer need medications for diabetes, cholesterol or high blood pressure.

“When your doctor begins to ask your advice regarding fitness training, you know you’ve made the right choice,” says Darren G., who has been a client for six years.

Some clients previously had surgery and rehabilitation on their hips or shoulders, but feel they need more.

“We work with physical therapists on outreach programs, and we are like an extension,” Sine says. “A lot of people still need help, and we train our trainers to be more sensitive and knowledgeable about things that are not being taught anywhere else. Since this is a private studio and not a gym, we give one-onone attention. People say they are able to do the things they were not able to do before, and that is what we love to hear, because we know that we are making a difference.”

It’s not too late to become fit, healthy, and to age gracefully. The studio’s oldest client is 93.

“Age doesn’t matter,” says Sine. “We see it many times with our clients that they are now stronger than they ever were before. We give free consultations because we want to see if we are the right answer for you.”
