Member Spotlight: Jim & Deborah Staton

The Statons have been training with Jamie since the summer when the Fitness Center opened, and we were eager to highlight the couple in this edition of the newsletter, as we felt they have valuable experience to share with other Members.

What has been the biggest change for you since beginning training?

Deborah: I’ve gotten stronger, my core, quads and hamstrings all feel stronger. My balance has gotten better but I want to continue improving it. The injuries that I came in with on day one have greatly improved�

Jim: I feel stronger, I have more endurance� My golf and tennis games have improved, and as Deborah said, my injuries have improved. I can now do pullups where I couldn’t do any when I first started.

How has your approach to exercise changed, if at all, since you have been working out regularly?

Deborah: I enjoy the social aspect, seeing friends and other people in the Fitness Center, I just generally enjoy going to work out

Jim: My approach to using weights has changed, I can see the value of doing reps more slowly. My flexibility has improved, which I really needed� I feel that has really helped my tennis and golf game as well�

What are your favorite and least favorite exercises?

Deborah: Least favorite is the Farmer’s Carry, my favorite is the back extension.

Jim: Least favorite is squats, favorite is back extension or pull-ups.
