The Re-start of re-Energize!
by Gail Hamm, program director
Next week, Tuesday and Thursday, July 5 & 7, marks the re-start of re-Energize! Cancer Services has been fortunate for part of this past year to have had a student intern/exercise science major from Huntington University. Courtney Berger developed and facilitated re-Energize! for clients and their families. During her senior year, her class schedule made it difficult for Courtney to continue this program. Now that she has graduated, Courtney is back!
Courtney is excited about seeing her former group members and looks forward to meeting new members. The re-Energize! Program is for those clients (and their families) who need to be up and moving their muscles, but who are not looking for an intensive workout. The sessions are structured in a way that allows for differences in ability, strength and endurance. No matter what your ability, you will be able to benefit from the exercises.
Come join Courtney at 5:30pm, July 5 & 7 and every Tuesday and Thursday at Cancer Services of Northeast Indiana,6316 Mutual Drive,Fort Wayne,IN46825. You’ll be glad you did!
A Match Made in Fitness
This spring, Courtney Berger, a Huntington University student, interned for our organizations. Here is her story:
As a Fort Wayne native, Courtney grew to love exercise and personal training and put this passion into practice by working at a local gym as a personal trainer for a few years prior to her studies at Huntington University. During her time at HU, Courtney’s love for exercise and training others continued to grow and when an opportunity came up with a new spin on traditional personal training, she jumped all over it.
