Rahmet is my trainer and my healer. Exercise is medicine and he is a great practitioner.I had been trying to get fit as a 73-year-old out of shape guy for two full years in Thailand with not much to show for it.Most Trainers in gym chains have a set program that they learned during their brief training. For an old out of shape guy, I found these templates always leading to injury, which set me back.At Move, I was extensively interviewed to design a graduated training program that was built specifically for me, by Rahmet.On days when my energy was low or I had some small ache, he would adjust that day’s work out so I could always push myself the right amount.At every point along the way, during every exercise, the reason why that exercise was chosen, and what I would progress to next was carefully explained to me, along with nutrition information that was practical and non-shaming.I learned that consistency and good form matter much more than how much weight you lift, and that the nonsense you learn online about ripped abs in 30 days is self-defeating and self injuring.Six months later, I have 3 pounds more muscle at age 73; When it’s entirely possible to lose 3 pounds of muscles in six months by not exercising.I lift a little harder with Incrementally more reps with each successive session.I’m less depressed, I drink less alcohol, I smoke less weed. I signed my girlfriend up to improve her life too. Like I said, exercise is medicine, and Rahmet is a great practitioner of it.Move is not inexpensive, but if you want expertise and real progress, it is worth the premium price.When I factor in that I no longer have to go to physical therapy to undo some of the crazy training Injuries that I suffered, it’s actually cheaper than a chain gym.The facilities are high-end, and never feel crowded. That too, is worth a premium price.You can look at my other Google reviews to see that I am not a bot. I only bother to give my time to reviewing businesses that are five stars or above.
