Testimonial

Chris and Ana at First Steps Fitness receive my highest recommendation. After an initial evaluation of my granddaughter, they knew exactly what to strengthen, what movements needed inhibited and how to eliminate a primitive reflex she was stuck in. Their precise diagnosis was immediately followed with exercises to achieve those goals. I liked how they always explained the rationale of each exercise. My granddaughter left the clinic with better posture, better muscle tone and was proud when she learned a new way her little body could move. Chris and Ana are kind, gentle and patient, attributes important for anyone working with our little girl! We can’t wait to return to First Steps Fitness.
