I was diagnosed years ago with Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. At that time I was advised by medical professionals to rest as much as possible and to avoid exercise and over exertion. I followed my physicians advice and as a result I began to gain weight, loose my stamina and muscle tone. I remember going on a family hike in the mountains of North Carolina, getting a third of the way up the trail and actually sitting down on a rock and crying because I just didn't have the strength or stamina to keep up with my children and husband. That was a turning point for me.

In 2001, I had to have surgery on my right shoulder to re-attach two muscles which had been torn loose from the rotator cuff. Due to the length of time between the injury and the final diagnosis, the muscles had atrophied to the point that they were almost 1.5 inches shorter than normal. The orthopedic surgeon was not sure they could be re-attached and even if they could stretch them that far, they might be so thin that they would tear.

I am pleased to write a letter endorsing Prince Deese and the A.C.T. "Foremost in Fitness" studio. Prince has been my personal trainer for three years. Prior to that time I had used at least 6 other trainers to assist me with an appropriate gym regimen. The following are characteristics that make Prince unique and elevate him to a level that I did not find with the others:
  • Prince is respectful and has excellent manners.
  • He uses my time well, sticking to the task without extraneous conversation.

Four years ago, I received the news that among other signs my voice was changing and becoming less audible, and that my already poor handwriting was getting more illegible, that I was in the early stages of Parkinson's Disease. The prognosis of this is a slowly progressive disease with my neurologist explained had no specific cure, but with medication and persistent exercise, could be delayed in its disabling symptoms, primarily tremors of the extremities, stooped posture, a shuffling gait and occasional loss of a sense of balance.

My workout partner and I have been lifting weights together for more than 10 years. We always went at it hard and made good progress. For the last four months, we have been working out with Prince Deese at A.C.T. I had no idea that one man could know so much about building muscle. Every workout is different and extremely challenging. We have made great progress in a short period of time and look forward to a long relationship with Prince. No one does it better!

I just found out this afternoon that I made the field hockey team!  I honestly cannot thank you enough for getting me in the best shape I've ever been in and for pushing me beyond my limits!  Although preseason has been tiring, I have had the stamina to make it through each practice going full-speed the entire 2 and 1/2 hour and I feel stronger and more confident playing field hockey than ever before (simply because I can keep up with everyone else...and sometimes even finish first during sprints).  I don't think that I could have done it without you!  THANKS
