Testimonials

The seminar was very well organized and put together. The instructor is very knowledgeable and has many years of hands on experience working in healthcare. This course has reinforced the importance of strength training patients/clients of a certain age in order to remain independent and safe functional fitness equals independence.

Mylene C.
Physical Therapist

I really enjoyed the seminar and think it was well presented.

Laura
Physical Therapy Assistant

I truly enjoyed everything about your event. I really listened and took away many things. It was a good education for me. The tests that you did for sit to stand and the exercises were great. Especially learned from the demo sit to stand. We have one lad in particular that has issues with squats. We are able to help her move better from your demo.

Sherrie
Coach

I genuinely Love new concept that will help push this culture of Physical Therapy to a new and different era.

Ed and Sam are the EXPERTS and have so much passion for the aging adult! Their seminar was professional, relative and a great resource for anyone who works with clients or athletes over the age of 55. I left the course with a renewed excitement and energy to help clients perform functional movement in order to age well!

Casandra W
Physical Therapist

I thoroughly enjoyed attending your CEU course. It was informative on many levels. I really enjoyed analyzing the athletes biomechanically

Kate T
Physical Therapist

Ed kept everyone engaged from the very beginning. His ability to keep people engaged is a gift and would make even a boring subject easy to listen to. He called people by name keeping it personal from the start. The information presented was current, relevant, and applicable to his audience. Ed used plenty of examples, past experiences, and stories to make his point. He used his wealth of PT knowledge and CF methodology to instruct his participants on potential better ways of treating their patients.

CrossFit L1 Coach

I took the GrandMastersRx seminar course with Sam and Ed so I could create a seniors program at my gym. They are extremely knowledgeable, hospitable and professional. The course provided the basics to create and effectively manage a seniors program. Ed's background in physical therapy and Sam's passion for coaching make the course informative and fun. I would highly recommend anyone interested in senior fitness to reach out to this dynamic duo.

Jonathan (JJ) S
Coach/Gym Owner

Very clean gym. The staff and members were very friendly and welcoming. They answered any question and every question that I had. Ed and Sam are extremely knowledgable and chock full of wisdom and knowledge to share with me and the group during our all day seminar. I feel better equipped to start a 55 and older class at my CrossFit. Sam checks in with me frequently to see how things are going and answer any questions or needs I have.

Janet W.
CF L1 Coach

In June, my gym owner and I traveled to Florida to take Sam and Ed's Grandmasters RX seminar on how to create and effectively run a seniors program in our gym in North Carolina. Sam and Ed are amazing at what they do and complement each other very well with Ed's background in PT and Sam's enthusiasm and knowledge in coaching. The program they put together was very detailed, informative, and hands on with working and seeing how their athletes move in various positions. If you are interested in starting a seniors class or program at your gym, this is the only way to go and they will help you lay the ground work to begin a wonderful program! We hope to go back and visit again soon!
