Success Stories

“Top-notch support for recovery. With nagging aches and pains that were obstacles to lifting, I joined the Babes and Barbells class knowing I’d have PT support. This proved to be an excellent decision. Patricia and team created a fun and encouraging environment and were ready with modifications for lifts when a movement was a no-go. I got to let go of the limiting belief that I needed to be healed before I could lift again, and my foundational strength bounced back while my mood lifted from all the good chemicals that come with weight training. Patricia and Mason were amazing, as were all the other staff we interacted with. The community was a highlight as well. Highly recommend!”

“I started at Upright because I needed guidance and accountability after health problems resulted in me taking a long break from being active. Now, I’ve been training with Patricia for over a year and could not be happier. She is so attentive and great at coming up with alternatives. I feel stronger, more coordinated and have more energy and trust in my body again. I highly recommend Upright to anyone looking to get more confident and gain strength in moving their body.”
