Fitness Focus

Fantastic experience: The massage therapist that I went to (Melissa) did a fantastic job. She was able to dig deeper and break apart the soft tissue in my lower back than anyone else that I've went to in the past. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely hands down the best place for physical therapy you could go to! Ann is amazing to work with and genuinely cares about you and helping you achieve your PT goals. Everyone here has been incredibly helpful and supportive during my journey, whether it’s scheduling or billing each member of this team is responsive and helpful! If I could give them 10 stars I would!

Fantastic experience: I have felt so grateful to have found Fitness Focus & my Physical Therapist, Ann Alexander. The environment at Fitness Focus is so positive & encouraging & you can feel the warm, healing energy from every single staff person. With the incredible knowledge of my PT, Ann, I was able to reduce nearly all of the pain in my body from a very bad car accident. I am still working on building strength in order to get back to my pre-accident condition - I'm not quite there yet - but with the progress I've made so far, I have hope again that I will be able to go back to living my life normally - without pain & with a sense of strength. Not only have I had these successes but Ann has taught me how to move my body correctly so that I don't aggravate pain, she has empowered me with exercises that I can do from home & though the physical improvements are incredible, I have also come away with a new knowledge about how our bodies perceive pain, how they can hold on to pain long after the initial injury has healed & how we can relieve & release that pain through movement & building strength. This has been a physical & spiritual transformational process for me & I am indebted to Fitness Focus & Ann Alexander for their expertise & unwavering support! ~ So gratefully, Kristen Freyja Solberg

Fantastic experience: The doctors and staff are amazing. They really care about their patients/clients. I would highly recommend Fitness Focus to anyone that needs physical therapy or any of their fitness classes.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Fitness Focus! I was struggling with neck instability/pain and shoulder issues for years. I found Shannon and was introduced to MAT which has helped me immensely!! I am so thankful for her dedication and expertise. I would recommend her to anyone who has tried other therapies without success! I wish I would have found her earlier in my wellness journey.

Fantastic experience: I love the physical therapy here. I especially love having an appt with Shannon, all are most likely great.

Fantastic experience: Staff at Fitness Focus are very professional and very focused on targeting the cause of your pain.

Fantastic experience: Matt did a great job helping me with my knee problems. He is super knowledgeable, enthusiastic and encouraging. I highly recommend him. I felt really supported and got a lot of good advice from him.

Fantastic experience: Fitness Focus is amazing. Physical Therapist, Ann Alexander helped me recover from my ski injury. She collaborated with my personal objectives. Ann matched her therapeutic strategies with my specific rehabilitation needs. She was able to coach me through challenges with sincerity, authenticity and good hearted humor. Thank You Ann and Fitness Focus!!!!

Fantastic experience: Fitness Focus is the best of the best! I have done physical therapy with them and have been working out with a personal trainer there for five years. I’m currently working out with Hannah. She is a highly educated and is an extraordinary personal trainer. So many people claim they hate working out...I workout with Hannah twice a week and look forward to each one. She makes working out fun and interesting and I’m in my 70’s and I’m convinced my quality of life is greatly impacted by working out. In five years I have not had one negative experience with Fitness Focus. Everyone there I consider to the best of the best. I highly recommend then for personal training or physical therapy.

Fantastic experience: I’m so glad my family decided to do strength sessions at Fitness Focus. The environment is perfect for a fun but focused session. I’ve been doing weekly sessions for a few years now and I’ve seen huge improvements in my strength and technique. My athletic performances have improved tremendously because of strength at fitness focus.

Fantastic experience: I had Ann Alexander for my physical therapist and she did an amazing job! She increased my strength in my quads and knees by so much. I am having so much less knee pain all thanks to her! You can really tell that Ann cares so much about her patients, and about the work she does. I always looked forward to seeing her when I went into Fitness Focus. Thank you Ann!

Fantastic experience: Fitness focus is awesome. they really helped my physical therapy and my overall physical training. Mat helped me develop a plan of action so I could accomplish my goals.. He takes a interest,is friendly, and very smart.

Fantastic experience: I've had a number of issues over the past few years that Matt Zellmer has successfully helped me with (shoulders in particular) so that I can continue to do the activities that I love to do.

Fantastic experience: I’ve worked with Matt and Shannon for the last 4-5 years. They have both helped me become a better athlete. I highly recommend fitness focus!

Fantastic experience: So excited to have discovered this studio! I have taken Pilates classes -- both private and group -- from three instructors, and all are great. Best of all was being referred by a friend to Shannon Maixner for Muscle Activation Therapy (MAT). In one session, my hip pain was reduced by 85%. Simple exercises I can do at home help me avoid surgery. I couldn't recommend Fitness Focus more.

Fantastic experience: Matt Zellmer is my physical therapist, he has done a great job helping me get my body in shape. I'm 70 years old, recuperating from a couple of body injuries Matt has done an awesome job getting me back to health and beyond. Because of his great advise and body strengthening exercises, my muscles are stronger and I'm able to do things I never thought I could do at my age. Awesome job Fitness Focus!

Fantastic experience: MAT has worked wonders for my neck so far and I have only done a handful of sessions. Muscles that were constantly locked into a spasm are now becoming functional. I have more range of motion, more strength, and less pain.

Fantastic experience: Amazing staff at Fitness Focus led by Shannon Maixner! They all care so much about their clients personal health and well-being. Throughout the past year, they made sure their clients kept up with their virtual classes and gave them every possible way to engage with fitness to stay strong during the pandemic. Shannon's expertise using Muscle Activation Techniques has really helped improve my back and neck strength. Overall, incredible place and can't imagine my life without Fitness Focus!

Fantastic experience: I came to Fitness Focus with terrible knee and back pain from running. I tried Tria and Summit Ortho prior to coming here with no luck. I couldn't walk up a flight of stairs without being in pain and spend a month unable to do any physical activities at all. After just a few PT treatments at Fitness Focus, I was back to walking several miles at a time and was running just a few weeks after that. Not only did FF rid me of debilitating pain, but the PTs I worked with took the time to explain exercises to me so that I better understood what was going on when I felt pain. I also received MAT treatment and WOW - this made such a huge difference for me. I am a few months out from treatment now, and haven't experienced any pain or recurring injury. Thank you FF!

Fantastic experience: I have been a client of Fitness Focus for more than 15 years. I think of it as my place to come and work out when I can, and get fixed when I can't. I have had three knee surgeries, so I have used most of the services offered from physical therapy to exercise classes and personal training. I have found the most helpful service to be Muscle Activation Technique by Shannon and Sammie. It has increased my strength and stability and decreased my pain. The staff members are skilled and passionate professionals that are dedicated to improving your overall physical health.

Fantastic experience: The best place to train!! Fitness Focus took my soccer game to the next level with their personalized training programs. The staff are well equipped with the knowledge and the equipment to help anyone reach their fitness goals. Not to mention they truly cared about my goals and even took the time to focus on the overlooked aspects of training such as injury prevention. If you or your children are looking to up their athletic performance look no further!

Fantastic experience: Working with Shannon and MAT has quite literally changed my life! After years of walking improperly due to foot surgery, excess weight and deconditioning, I had pain and weakness in my hips and thighs that wouldn’t subside despite weight loss and increased exercise. Through MAT, my pain is completely resolved and I am steadily gaining strength. I am back to hiking, doing Pilates and moving freely. I am so grateful to Shannon and Fitness Focus!

Fantastic experience: Shannon is the best! I came here from Miami Florida for my treatments. After 2 weeks of treatments Shannon got me better than I ever expected. She has a warm hart and she really really really cares for her patients. This is a unique place in the USA. Exceptionally clean and professional. Always on time. Please come to her you will not be disappointed. Guaranteed!!! God bless you my sister in Christ Shannon.

Fantastic experience: Great customer service My therapist Hannah is wonderful She really listens and works on the areas that I really need it the most She makes sure I understand the exercises she has me Doing at home. I feel Like the people at Fitness Focus really care that I am there.

Fantastic experience: In used to go to OSI for physical therapy. I am so thankful that I switched to Fitness Focus! From the first time I called to make an appointment they bent over backwards to make sure I was taken care of. Shannon was so helpful to ensure that I got the treatment that my doctor recommended. She went above and beyond to make sure my recovery is as quick as possible. If I could, I would give them 50 stars. I would recommend Fitness Focus to anyone! Thank you so much Shannon and Fitness Focus for helping me get back to my regular routine.

Fantastic experience: My experience with Fitness Focus has been excellent. I have received physical therapy from both Christine and Shannon for a total knee replacement and for lower back pain. Their knowledge, care, and communication is unmatched by any provider I have experienced. The office staff communication is also outstanding using both texts and email. If you are looking for a physical therapist, I cannot more highly recommend either Christine or Shannon at Fitness Focus.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to fitness focus since I was a middle schooler and the team has helped me not only with injuries throughout my athletic career but also with form and preventive work. I competed at the D1 level and the expertise that I got at fitness focus exceeded all expectations. I couldn’t recommend highly enough.

Fantastic experience: I’m very glad I did the endurance program through fitness focus! The program helped me gain strength and confidence as an athlete. My form has improved greatly and I look forward to applying what I’ve learned at fitness focus as an athlete in the future.

Fantastic experience: Shannon is by far the best physical therapist I've been to, and I've seen a lot of PTs over the years. She is very skilled at Muscle Activation Technique (MAT), which is very valuable to everyone, but especially for athletes. I'm 56 years old and a competitive powerlifter. Shannon has worked all kinds of magic on me over the past couple of years to keep me competing at a very high level.

Fantastic experience: Upbeat, caring and compassionate team of fitness experts who gave me back increased mobility and decreased pain through their Muscle Activation Techniques. Incredible results from a not so well known technique. We need more people like Sammie and Shannon who help people get back into their game. Love this group of professionals!

Fantastic experience: I first came to Fitness Focus the summer after my freshman year of high school due to an ACL and meniscus injury that wasn't fully healed after a year and a half. Because of Matt, I was finally able to sort my knee out and become a serious competitor in track. Over the years he's helped me through multiple injuries, straightened up my very bad running form, gotten me to fall in love with lifting, and has brought my running up to the next level. I can say with 100% confidence that I wouldn't be a collegiate runner without him. Sammie and Shannon are awesome, too. I've worked with both of them to get past some of my more persistent injuries, and they're both very adept at what they do. They're incredibly sweet and funny as well; it was never boring to go and see them. I've gone to multiple other physical therapists in my life, but none even come close to the providers at Fitness Focus. If you're choosing where to rehab an injury or you're an athlete looking to bring your game up, I would highly recommend Fitness Focus.

Fantastic experience: I got the opportunity to work at Fitness Focus last summer and shadow a couple of the therapists. I was very impressed with how client focused they are and how fun they make the workout atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: I am impressed with the knowledge and expertise at Fitness Focus. Everyone is friendly, the facility is clean and most of all their motivation and heart is for everyone to be thriving day to day in all their activities. They find the root cause of pain and fix it. Shannon and Sammie are amazing! I would highly recommend Fitness Focus!

Fantastic experience: The staff at Fitness Focus truly want you to be at your best. They are very friendly and offer support if you have any questions. I have been to a few physical therapy places before, but at Fitness Focus I truly started to see long lasting improvements. They specialize treatment and provide a variety of strengthening options. I would highly recommend Fitness Focus.

Fantastic experience: I have traveled from North Carolina 2 times to see Shannon. She is an amazing practitioner who listens to her clients and does everything in her power to help them. I made noticeable progress during every appointment. I wish I lived closer so I could see her every week!

Fantastic experience: Having been a client/patient at Fitness Focus for more than 15 years I can testify that not only is each practitioner a master in their field, they work collaboratively to provide the best care, experience and outcome possible. PT, MAT (Muscle Activation Technique), Pilates instruction and Personal Training are only a few of the services they offer both onsite and remotely. Personally, I love the idea that my PT knows my Pilates trainer and is able to provide modifications if necessary. The front desk staff is very knowledgeable and accommodating as well. You won't find a better place to heal and grow.

Fantastic experience: Appointment began and ended right on time. Provision of forms ahead of time made first time appointment go smoothly. Laura was very friendly and professional, and the MAT seemed to improve the range of motion for my ankle. Overall great experience.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Fitness Focus for over a year for both Personal Training and MAT. The progress I have made in that time has been more than I could have ever hoped. All of the staff are so friendly and truly want to help you reach your fitness goals and live your healthiest life. Can't say enough great things about the Fitness Focus team!

Fantastic experience: Matt Z, physical therapist at Fitness Focus, has helped me recover from several injuries. Perhaps even more importantly he has taught me how to listen to my body and modify activities to maximize my ability to resume the daily activities I love. I recently needed hands on therapy and Matt and Fitness Focus were willing and able to take the extra precautions needed to allow this during the pandemic.

Fantastic experience: I have a 10-year history with Fitness Focus. From Pilates to PT, MAT, and virtual Physical Training, their team of exceptional professionals has helped me heal and thrive. From the ‘worst’ (rotator cuff tear—no surgery needed!!), to improved balance, strength and flexibility, I”m in better condition now than ever before. Challenged, yes! Informed and empowered, absolutely! See you there!

Fantastic experience: The staff at Fitness Focus are skilled, knowledgeable, and passionate about their areas of expertise! I have used (and still use) physical therapy, MAT (Muscle Activation Therapy), and pilates classes. MAT is an amazing therapy and has helped to keep me active. Shannon's background as a Physical Therapist & MAT Specialist gives her patient a multifaceted approach to healing. She has provided me with the ability to continue the sports and activities I love. I would highly recommend Fitness Focus.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to fitness focus from freshmen year of high school all the way up to my freshmen year in college. Matt and the fitness focus staff have been so helpful setting apart from the competition. I have noticed, thanks to Matt, I am able to perform better longer as well as being able to never get any injuries some of my teammates have experienced. Thanks to the amazing training here I have improved leaps and bounds from freshmen year to where I am now. I would highly recommend other athletes to come here if they are looking to prevent injury and improve their athleticism.

Fantastic experience: Excellence and up to date therapy. Therapy plan tailored to individual needs and includes the whole body. Most PT I have had in the past has focused only on recent surgery site, instead of looking at the fully connected system.

Fantastic experience: Through my experience at fitness focus with training and an intership I am impressed by their facility, knowledge and attention they give their athletes. When I was training there I was able to grow immensely as an athlete while learning the exercise knowledge to keep my training applicable. I was able to ask questions easily and create a strong relationship with the trainers there. During my internship I was exposed to new and interesting information while constantly being pushed to learn to my best ability.

Fantastic experience: I have never been to physical therapy before, I was surprised at how much education I received during the appointment. Shannon showed me why my muscles weren't working the way they should be. She explained things to me in a way that I could understand and that was very helpful. She was very helpful in showing me that my muscles weren’t activated and explained how she could activate them to do their job. I was extremely pleased with my first experience with physical therapy and I look forward to visiting Fitness Focus again soon.

Fantastic experience: Matt and the staff at Fitness Focus helped me regain stability in my running and overcome hip, knee, and adductor pain. It's been a joy working with Matt throughout recovery to develop smarter training systems and rework some of my redundant and risky strength routines. Matt is very knowledgeable, creative, and compassionate; and he's someone I would highly recommend to others interested in working to heal from injuries and pain limiting their running!

Fantastic experience: I worked with Dr. Matt Zellmer at Fitness Focus. Excellent therapist that utilizes evidence-based interventions and truly listens to patients' needs.

Fantastic experience: I worked with a couple PT's for rehab from injury as well as sports performance training here. Their entire staff is very encouraging and does a great job of engaging patients with exercises specific to their goals. I would strongly recommend the sports training for athletes looking to improve athleticism and elevate their game. I'm very glad I chose to visit this clinic and recommend it to anyone searching for quality care.

Fantastic experience: I have received treatment at Fitness Focus for a variety of things, from back pain, elbow pain and most recently plantar facitus. Each time I have been welcomed to this clean and friendly environment. The professional service provided by physical therapist and MAT therapist has been extremely healing!
