Testimonials

"I wholeheartedly recommend Meredith as a personal trainer, particularly for elderly individuals. She worked with my mom in her later years, providing exceptional care and support until my mom's passing. Meredith's patience, compassion, and expertise made a profound difference in my mom's quality of life. She tailored exercises to my mom's abilities, ensuring safety while promoting strength and mobility. Beyond her professional skills, Meredith's genuine kindness and encouraging demeanor brought joy to my mom's days. She was more than a trainer - she was a trusted companion who treated my mom with the utmost respect and dignity. I am forever grateful for Meredith's dedication. In addition, she was an encouragement to me by providing me with insights into my mom's condition and spirits. Thank you Meredith!"

"I met Meredith Downing approximately 4.5 years ago while my late father was a resident at Morningstar Senior Living in Littleton, Colorado. I believe she was recommended to me through a physical therapist who had completed a series of PT sessions with my dad.  My father so enjoyed exercising and wanted to continue, but needed supervision, as he was in memory care and could not leave the unit without a staff or family member. Our very first meeting with Meredith was delightful.  My Dad’s face lit up from then on whenever he saw her or heard her voice. They would visit for a few minutes and then immediately go upstairs to the small workout room where she guided him through balance exercises, strength training, stationary bicycling, and then usually a walk. She was very professional, efficient, patient and above all kind. She saw him 2-3 times a week, and it very quickly became the highlight of those days for him. Within a short period of time, she introduced him to boxing! He was 97 years old and what a spark this was to his confidence, physical fitness and overall wellness. He was hooked ! We have videos that Meredith took of him boxing, riding the stationary bike and just chatting that will be precious  to me always.   The whole experience was the most positive influence in his life and ours. He kept up his routine until just a couple weeks before he passed away. I believe without a doubt, that having Meredith in his life gave him strength, encouragement, vitality and most of all joy ! She was surely loved by our entire family. We will be forever grateful to her for that. She met the highest level of excellence and she will set the standard of measurement for fitness/wellness training going forward.

 
I would highly recommend Meredith Downing ! You will not be disappointed."

Meredith is both skilled in geriatric exercise as well as gifted & compassionate in working with the elderly. She worked with my Mom & brought her a lot of joy. It was so good for my Mom to get appropriate exercise  and she really enjoyed the time spent with Meredith.
