I am a 41 year old, married, mother of two and I have been working out at Katzenmoyer Performance for about three years. I have always enjoyed my time with Andy and his staff; however, it wasn't until I had a fairly serious skiing accident in January 2011 that I really came to appreciate their knowledge about sports-related injuries.

Last year, I was in Utah skiing with friends when I fell, heard a pop in my knee and knew, immediately, that my ski trip was over. My husband called Andy from Utah to get his advice on how to proceed, and, Andy recommended a fantastic orthopedic surgeon for us to call when we returned to Ohio. After x-rays and an MRI, it turned out that I had torn my ACL with a minor MCL tear.

Surgery was scheduled six weeks later and rehab started about two weeks post surgery.

Once I started rehab, I talked to my physical therapist about going back into KP to lift. I was told that rehab combined with strength training would be great for my knee - as long as I stayed within my limitations set by the therapists - so, I went into KP to set up some appointments with Ross. Although I wasn't allowed to do any leg work in the beginning, I really wanted to keep working out, so Andy and Ross came up with workouts that only incorporated the upper body. Every week Ross would ask me about my rehab and how things were going with my knee. As the knee healed, Ross would, slowly, add leg work into my workouts.

One year later, my knee is stronger than ever, and I give Andy and Ross a lot of credit for that. They both worked very carefully with me to keep my workouts safe, so I could recover and get back to the life I had prior to the accident.

As of today I am back in the gym three days a week and I always look forward to new and challenging workouts set by the KP team!

Andy and Ross - I thank you for looking out for me and getting me "back to normal."
