RISE AND MOVE
Magic Legs
| Today is both Memorial Day and World MS day. Some years I have been super motivated to go on video and do an inspirational video. This year I'm in more of a quiet reflective space. Despite what some of you may think about my energy on video ( some people love it others sometime think I talk too loud) it's always coming form a place of passion and it does not always come naturally to me, I have my moments just like everyone else where I feel down and need to find ways to lift my energy. Besides a great exercise workout, one of my favorite ways to get inspired to create meaningful motivational videos is to listen to music or watch underdog or comeback movies. Nothing is more powerful to me than following a main character or cast of characters chasing after their dreams and persevering despite being met by adversity, setbacks, loss, discouragement, and failures on the way to their destiny (just like my Gymmers). An all-time favorite underdog movie of both my biz partner Ken... |

The Steps to a Mile
April 4 th 2022
By Yulia S.
Last week, I did something I hadn’t done in 18 years: walk a mile, or 3,600 steps. Yup, I counted every step. They were spread out over ninety minutes through the course of a day, to be clear, but the time on my feet was over twice what I had previously managed with trekking poles and 25% more than I’d ever managed with a rollator. I’ve had aggressive MS for 26 years and needed a wheelchair outdoors for 18 years, so any improvement was from swimming against a strong current.
I’m still in disbelief, not that I met this milestone, but that I hadn’t been planning it and my body wasn’t suffering the day after from muscle cramps and spasms, signs of compensation and poor form. And the next day, before I’d released any kinks from sleep, I did my timed walking trial at record speed (without my glasses even) and walked before noon as many minutes (40) as I’d managed in a full day just days before. Just now, I...
Awareness
March 10, 2022
What’s up Gymmers,
So, I just had a really cool conversation with my wife Misty about what it takes to really make change in your life and it comes down to ONE WORD… AWARENESS.
I’ll get to what that means, but first you need context.
Misty has recently found HER love for exercise.
She has started working out at a place that does a cool workout of 20 minutes spinning (indoor cycling), 20 minutes strength training, and 20 minutes of Yoga.
She’s crushing it and I’m so proud of her.
In fact, last weekend she completed 100 miles of cycling over a month.
Now you may be thinking, “How can Misty not just ‘naturally’ love exercise? Isn’t that included in the ‘Coach T’ marriage vows?”
Well, in fact, my bride is one of the HARDEST people for me to motivate.
Misty, who is as sweet as sweet can be, can also be a STUBBORN woman.
During a...

I wanted to quit
Kellie’s post is SO awesome.
Read this…
( last name and pic blurred for privacy)
Wow right?
Breast Cancer, Mastectomy, complications, surgery TWICE IN 24 HOURS…
BUT KELLIE KNEW WHAT TO DO
- Use her core to move
- Think through her lessons on how to reduce leg tremors
- Use her movement practice to walk instead of lying in her bed
- BREATHING to keep her body fueled and calm so it could heal and use less medication
- Keep her mind STRONG through a very challenging and scary time
This is what we do in THE MS GYM.
It’s not about doing a workout program.
The MS GYM will build you into A STRONGER HUMAN so you can persevere and endure through the tough stuff in life despite carrying MS ON YOUR BACK.
I’m super proud of Kellie and all my Gymmers for their strength, resiliency, and hard work.

Why I was disappointed
What’s up Gymmers,
It’s cold and snowy here in Colorado.
We got hit with a big ol’ snowstorm last night.
School is canceled for my girls today, so Misty and I are gonna have to rearrange our schedules to entertain and care for our little ones.
As I was sipping on my coffee this morning and scanning my news feed, I came across an ad from a highly followed MS organization addressing VISION PROBLEMS and MS.
The Headline read: “What kind of vision problems caused by Multiple Sclerosis, and what treatments are available?”
My neruro-nerd side got all excited to read about how vision training (which we focus on a TON in The MS Gym) is starting to be used by large organizations to help more people with MS.
I clicked on the LEARN MORE button and eagerly read, searching for what vision exercises they were going to recommend.
I searched… and searched… and searched…. NO EXERCISES...
I was disappointed ( continued)
HERE’S whaat Gymmers are reporting after their latest MEDICAL EXAMS FOR THEIR EYES:
We have hundreds of testimonials just like these which comes directly from the power of our Eye Gym in the membership program.
In today’s Movement Minute, let’s start training your eyes - Click here for EYE DRILL smooth pursuits

The most COMPLEX Case of MS ever?
| What up Gymmers? If you just recently found the MS Gym, I want to say WELCOME again! If you have been lurking for a while and are still a bit “skeptical” of me and all these crazy MS Gymmers claiming they have learned how to COUNTERACT THEIR MS symptoms… PLEASE READ ON. If you have checked out ANY of the1000’s of MS Gym victory stories and are still saying to yourself, “yeah but I’m different, NOTHING has worked for me and I have lots of other health issues too…” Today could be the day that everything changes for you. I have a story to share with you.. Before creating the MS GYM, I owned multiple successful brick and mortar medical fitness facilities and worked with 1000’s of clients over a 17-year period. Then four years ago, we launched our current online MS GYM community and now serve, coach, and guide 1000’s of people with neuro-degenerative conditions on a REGULAR BASIS. Therefore, I have been exposed... |
From MS Quadriplegic to Mountain Trekker
We’re getting close !
Our 4 YEAR ANNIVERSARY on December 11th is just TWO DAYS AWAY!
My past 3 days of teaching BEST PRACTICES to the MS GYM NATION has been SO fun and the comments we’ve been receiving have been so inspiring, fulfilling, and encouraging.
We have new Gymmers getting excited about their new path to counteracting MS.
We have ORIGINAL Gymmers (O.G.’s) getting RE-IGNITED to achieve BIG GOALS in 2022.
Over the past three days, we’ve covered two HUGE topics of what’s required to heal:
- Having a VISION for your preferred future where MS is not running your life
- Having a WHY to drive your energy, effort, and motivation as you heal
- Developing a PLAN to structure, organize, and direct your healing process.
Today, I spoke about the SINGLE GREATEST FACTOR in who succeeds in the MS Gym…
CONSISTENCY
To counteract your MS symptoms and work around your MS DAMAGE so you can RESTORE...
