This week, we’re shining a light on Amanda Berlon, who has been a regular at the Kettering Recreation Complex for the last four years (and a KRC parent for much longer!).
Personal Journey to the Pool: After two significant spine surgeries following a life of physical work and previous trauma, Amanda looked for a safe way to stay active. “I was looking for exercises I could do without fear of hurting myself. That’s what led me to the pool.”
How KRC Makes a Difference:
The no-impact deep water exercise allowed her to regain leg strength and confidence in unassisted movement. The whirlpool helps Amanda maintain flexibility after multiple fusions.
Goal Check: Amanda is focused on continued strength, mobility maintenance and cardio exercise. The Best Part? Beyond the physical gains, she says the biggest perk has been meeting great friends who share similar goals and support one another.
We love seeing the KRC community thrive! Stop by the pool and say hello to Amanda!
