I have lived in the area for 45 years and have seen Rumford Center be transformed from a dump to a thriving community resource. I had walked past 212 Health and Performance on my way from Seven Stars many times but never ventured in. Almost two years ago I received a neurological diagnosis and it was clear I had to build myself up to prevent progression. I was aware of Kerry through his work with a friend, Don Trodson, and met with him to discuss my situation. Kerry was very positive, did research on my condition and designed a workout program which has been nothing short of spectacular.

I was far from an ideal candidate for a workout program at age 76 with four artificial joints but that did not deter Kerry. I was given an external physical exam before I started with Kerry and again after about 8 months of work twice a week. My evaluator told me she had never seen anyone with my diagnosis not decline but actually improve! I will always remember the joy on Kerry’s face when I told him the news.

I have been coming to 212 Health and Performance for a little over a year and a half and have been absolutely thrilled with my time there.

Everything everyone says about 212 Health and Performance is true. The staff are all terrific, very friendly, knowledgeable and supportive. They make you feel like you are part of the family from day one! I wish I had started coming earlier.
