    Dana Robinson on body neutral personal training

    "When we're worried 24/7 about how we look or what we weigh, that's just stealing joy from day to day." Dana Robinson speaks from experience. She went through a tough transition after college, where she was a Division I athlete. Leaving this highly competitive environment, she found her focus on diet and exercise becoming borderline unhealthy. Fortunately, she found support from a therapist, and her thinking about her body shifted in new ways as she became a mother, as well. As a body neutral personal trainer, she has cultivated an approach that emphasizes functional outcomes and realistic, sustainable habits. Her clients find joy in their bodies' capabilities.

    PT Emily Camp on finding strength amid hearing loss

    Emily Camp began to have hearing changes, nausea, and neck pain in high school. She was diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder called neurofibromatosis type 2, which causes benign tumors to grow on the hearing and balance nerves in the brain. As she entered college to pursue her dream of becoming a physical therapist, her doctors told her she'd need to have the growths removed, and this process would cause her to lose her hearing in both ears. Emily shares what it was like to undergo such a major health experience at such a young age, and how her determination, humor, and the support of her now-husband helped her thrive amid these challenges.
