I came to Meghan to learn about kettlebells so I could change up my routine. I'm used to lifting heavy (315 lb. chest press PR), but these things kick my a@%! She won't let you put them down until she says you're done, at which point your heart is pounding and your muscles are burning. The kettlebells have helped me run faster without any running-specific training, and they give a great full-body workout. We're literally mopping up the floor when I'm done.

I have been working with Meghan O'Connell for about four months now to develop a program to assist me with my Parkinson's which I diagnosed with approximately eight years ago. The main problems were stiffness of the legs, a listing in my posture and a sciatic nerve problem which often follows as a result of PD.

I'm pleased to state that we're making surprising progress to all three issues as a result of a program of stretches, breathing and walking on both treadmill and with applied resistance that Meghan has set up. I hope to be able to discontinue the use entirely of all pain killer medications I have relied on for much of the past several years.
