Fitness & Gyms in Rio Vista, CA

“When I showed up on Monday to my first DFF class, I had pretty low expectations that this would be a good fit for me. My understanding of this kind of place was that it was for people who are fit, strong, and young. A friend told me she would do it if I would. I agreed to do the research.
My age and ability limitations did not faze Darrien. He listened to me, then immediately gave me something I could do. I stayed for the hour. On my way out, one of the half dozen other people said to me, “I’ve been coming for 6 months, and I look forward to it every day.” I came back the next day.
Everyone in the class has different abilities. I was never made to feel “less than.” I keep showing up and I keep getting stronger. In the three weeks coming, four times a week, I have never been sore. My posture has improved. I’m walking more confidently. I’m paying attention to what I eat.
This is a safe place. There is an encouraging environment. I have had both knees replaced with titanium. I am unable to kneel or get up and down off the floor. I have torn ligaments in my left shoulder. Darrien is knowledgeable about the body’s abilities. He pays attention to detail. I appreciate the way he explains which part of the body each exercise targets. He always has a plan and makes the most of the time. He distributes his knowledge and detailed instructions around the room, ensuring everyone is included.
I realize that at 72, if I don’t take care of myself, I will require someone else to take care of me. I want to put that off as long as I can. I believe DFF will help me progress toward this goal.”
