“I was in a car accident last December where my car was totalled and I was injured. When I was at the point where I was in less pain, my chiropractor and massage therapist referred me to Kim Marshall. I started my rehab exercises with Kim at Kenaz in early summer and already, it has helped me so much. I am beginning to feel stronger again, and feel so inspired and motivated by Kim to keep on pushing forward. He makes the work outs fun with his energy, smile and wonderful sense of humour. He always asks me how I’m feeling and listens to my answers, and then adjusts the exercises when needed so that they’re always helping me towards my goal of being stronger and pain free. I’ve appreciated all of his knowledge and am always looking forward to my appointments... I feel like I’ve accomplished so much after each is finished. Also, the facility is so clean & has such a positive atmosphere due to Kim and the rest of the trainers there, and I am very happy to recommend Kim and Kenaz to anyone👍🏻He’s an amazing, caring person that sincerely wants to make a difference by helping the people who see him to be the best that they can be. Thank you for everything you’ve done to help me so far Kim - I’ve appreciated you so much!”
