Chris Costello’s story is one of resilience, recovery, and discovering a new way to stay strong and active. In her late 50s, Chris was an endurance cyclist whose passion for the sport came to a sudden halt after a car accident left her with significant knee damage.
“I joined to regain strength and flexibility,” Chris recalls. “I really got hooked on the idea of ‘functional fitness’ that the club promotes. The staff were so helpful with no judgment. I started out not being able to do anything (really!), and now I can squat and do things I never thought I’d be able to do!”
Results That Speak for Themselves
Since joining Liven Up Fitness, Chris has experienced incredible progress in mobility and strength. Now in her late 60s, she continues to maintain her fitness and remains dedicated to staying active.
“Consistency is key for me,” Chris says. “It’s a little more challenging to maintain, but I still have it!”
Her commitment to staying strong is inspiring, proving that age is just a number when you have the right support and determination.
Encouragement for Others
When asked what she would say to someone considering joining, Chris is unequivocal: “Definitely do it!”
“No matter what your level, the trainers are so helpful in helping you reach your goals. Whether you’re starting from scratch or building on existing skills, they’ll meet you where you are.”
What Makes Liven Up Different
Chris also appreciates how the workouts at Liven Up are thoughtfully designed to target different areas of the body.
“I like how the workouts are tailored to lower body, upper body, and core each day. The compound movements help reach muscles not normally targeted on gym machines. And if you have an injury, the trainers will give you alternate movements and help with your form.”
