Living with cancer for the past 10 years might put a damper on some people’s lives. But not Bob Wraith’s. Bob has more energy and positive attitude then I’ve ever seen in any 75 year old man - ever! In the 7 months that Bob has been working out at The Exercise Space he has put on 4lbs of muscle and lost 7 lbs of fat - congrats Bob! Not only that, his blood sugar has dropped significantly, and his balance and stability make it look like he stands on a Bosu all day long.

I began working with Robert Wraith on February 27th, 2008. At 5′-7.5″ and 153.6 pounds and a body fat of 29.7%, Bob and I first began working on his stability and balance along with muscular endurance and strength. After just a couple weeks of working with him he began his month of cancer treatment. I did not see Bob for the month of March due to his lack of energy and contraction of bronchitis during his treatment. Read More »

After a brief break during the summer, BodyWalk is back! Come join this 12 week session of exercising outside at Discovery Park on Sunday mornings from 10am-11am. The only pre-requisite is that you can walk 2-3 miles. This class includes an ever changing mix of cardio and strength work…it will never be the same workout twice! Forget the gym, we use rocks, sticks, logs, benches, stairs, and our own body weight to tone and sculpt our bodies…not to mention you’ll get your quota of vitamin D and fresh air. Mixing up your workouts is the key to keeping your body challenged and avoiding plateaus. If you feel you’ve hit a plateau, let BodyWalk spring you out of it!

Class will be held rain or shine - bring an umbrella if you wish, but always bring gloves (our hands will be on the ground at times) and a towel (for core work).

“BodyWalk is the perfect way to start your Sunday morning in Magnolia. I look forward to BodyWalk every Sunday because it gets me outside getting fresh air and a workout in Discovery Park (the best part is it doesn’t even feel like exercise because you can enjoy the beautiful scenery). I’m done by 11:00 am and can enjoy the rest of my Sunday without feeling guilty because I’ve already worked out. Dawn is a fantastic personal trainer, so spending an hour with her is well worth it. Lastly, this is a challenging class for all levels of fitness and Dawn does an excellent job making sure everyone can do the exercises at their own pace and level.”

My name is Tom Sandel and I have been diagnosed with Esophageal
Cancer. I have been undergoing Chemo-therapy as well as Radiation
treatments at the University of Washington as well as at the Seattle
Cancer Care Alliance.
Over the last several months I have had the opportunity to work with
Dawn Brent as my personal trainer. Her trainer methods and nutritional
advice have gone a long way to help me keep a positive attitude as to
my condition and help immensely in alleviating the pain I feel in my
body. I was supposed to gradually feel fatigue as my radiation therapy
has progressed but with workouts twice a week that has yet to be a
problem after 20 treatments.
I highly recommend Dawn to anyone here who is going through Cancer
treatment. She is incredibly positive and can tailor make a fitness
program to your special needs.
Sincerely,
Tom Sandel
