Vicki has been a member since April 2006.

After a near fatal car accident in 1991 and more than two years of therapy and several surgeries, she found out in 1992 that she had RSD. Vicki also suffered another car accident in 1995 which took her back to the beginning of her recovery.

Since joining Vicki has lost 20 lbs and gained the ability to walk on the treadmill for a least 30 minutes. On her first visit, she could only walk on the treadmill for 2 minutes. She also has gained the ability to use the hamstring and leg extension machines. Plus, other machines in the gym are part of her regular routine.

An update since April: Vicki continues to lose weight and gain strength each day. A remarkable feat for her, she can walk to the gym (she lives near by) on a nice day, weather permitting if she so desires. This was something she couldn't do before joining Body Works Gym. Hopefully, someday, she will be able to get rid of that cane!

As of October, Vicki has lost 25 pounds and has went down 2 pant sizes. Way to go!

She truly is an inspiration for us all at the gym.
