shoulder, better balance, some pain reduction, and overall improvement in my quality of life. I have also been surprised to find that at the age of 84, I am now hitting longer golf drives than I have achieved in the last fifteen years which has been mentally uplifting. The marriage of the friendly and knowledgeable staff along with the extensive equipment has resulted in outstanding results for me” – Vernon H. Patient Spotlights
“Overall improvement in my quality of life!” “I had been bothered by arthritis for several years. Then, an MRI showed severe damage which caused a lot of pain and affected my joint functions. Since working with the staff and machines at Fit 4 Life, I have seen much improvement. The one-on-one sessions and the small adjustment capability of the equipment are an outstanding combination. My results have included the return of full range of motion of my “I am now finally off all pain medications!” “I came to Fit 4 Life in early 2015 after spine surgery that required a cage and pins. I wore a hard body brace and inched along with a walker, always in pain, despite the medications I took. To say I was a reluctant client would be an understatement. Every time I felt more pain, I was ready to quit. Alyssa would nudge me on, and I would manage just a little more. Then, the unthinkable happened. The pins in my spine pulled out of the bone, leaving me in worse shape than before. Another surgery was done to repair the damage and to include the next level up. I came out with three cages and lots of bone cement. Thankfully, the strength I had built up at Fit 4 Life allowed me to walk while still in the hospital, making the pain gradually lessen. As soon as I was able to, and with the doctor’s permission, I was back at Fit 4 Life. Alyssa pushed me when I needed it, encouraged me when I was down, and celebrated every small gain I made. I am now finally off all pain medications which is a major accomplishment. I have demonstrated that I can get myself up from a fall without assistance and have made so much progress that my husband and I are planning a six-week trip to France and Italy! I may be on a walker, but I can still go and I feel that Fit 4 Life, and especially Alyssa, have given me back my life. I have so much more living to do, and I owe it in large measure to Alyssa and staff. Thank you, thank you with all my heart. I love you guys!” – Sandra W.

Spotlight
Hi there! My name is Brianna Southerland. Im originally from Panama City, FL where I graduated from Florida State with my Bachelor degree in Professional Communication and Marketing. Shortly after graduating, I quickly learned a desk job wasn’t my calling. Through my own transformation, I fell in love with helping others regain their health and love the body they’re in. I transitioned into an online health and fitness coach for almost 2 years and loved it! The only thing missing was my desire for one on one personal relationships with my clients. In August 2016, I moved to Tampa to further pursue my passion in health and wellness as a personal trainer here at Fit 4 Life. I look forward to helping you reach your goals!
