"After training for the Cincinnati marathon for 4 months, I developed a stress fracture in my foot three weeks before the race. I was absolutely
crushed, but also determined to find a way to complete this race! A friend of mine suggested I go see Amy Gayle for Aquarunning instruction so
that I could keep up my training without further damaging my foot. I aquaran religiously for the remaining 2 1/2 weeks before the race, and did
not run on land until the day of the marathon. I am happy to say that I finished the marathon and ran the entire race. It was an awesome
experience, and I have Amy's classes and aquarunning to thank for helping me reach the goal! I would recommend her sessions to any runner,
injured or otherwise, as a great supplement for running on land. Thanks so much Amy!"

"I was looking for an exercise program that would not put stress on my joints and aqurunning fit the bill. Since I started aquajogging, I have more
energy and endurance. I am shedding pounds, toning up, and having fun. This is a great way to exercise!"

"I started aquajogging after recovering from a bad knee injury. I realized that if I wanted to make it injury-free through marathon training, I had to
cut back onmy number of miles run per week. By adding aquajogging to my weekly exercise routine, I was able to improve form and endurance,
without the impact on my knees! I hop to keep aquajogging as part of my marathon training and stay injury-free!"

I went to see Ted Spears at Sports Performance International, where I found out that I had weak hip muscles that would need to be strengthened
off-season. He told me about water running, and referred me to Amy Gayle. I only had a couple of weeks until the district track meet, it was my
senior year, and I felt like this was my last chance to salvage my season. We started aquarunning, and I immediately felt better. I would do hard
interval workouts and longer runs in the pool, and track workouts with my team. On the days that I ran in the pool, I felt great, my legs became
strong, my hip didn't hurt, and I could concentrate on improving my form. I would do a track workout with the team the next day, and feel fresh
and fast!!! I qualified through the district meet, and I have regionals this weekend...I am very excited about going. I know that I have come a lot
farther than I ever would have imagined because of the help from Amy Gayle and aquarunning!"
