Carley Reflection

Carley recently completed her student practicum at TrainSMART Personal Fitness and continues on to get her Doctorate of Physical Therapy. Here is what she had to say about her time at TrainSMART:

"Hi, I am Carley Swanson, and I am a practicum student at TrainSMART. So I am only there about ten hours a week, although most weeks I am there a lot more by choice. I have learned a lot this semester through Joe, Dr. Brandon, and the rest of the coaches, as well as the wide variety of specialists in their field that they had come in to teach us and give us workshops. Two of my favorite things that I learned at TrainSMART are the importance of core training, which they put in every  prescription, as well as the negative effects sitting has on your body. You know, as humans we are meant to be standing and meant to be active and exercising, but our lifestyle, most of the time, does not allow for that. We wake up, we drive and sit until we go to work. Then we go to work at nine to five, typically at a desk job, and go back home to sit on the couch. This really weakens our muscles and deconditions us and can cause tight hip flexors and overall poor posture."

Thank you Carley! We are looking to forward to seeing what you accomplish in the future!
