“I have been going to the gym for 10 years. I have had back problems which make weight lifting difficult, and my schedule is so hectic that I just haven’t been going...until I discovered Essential Stength Studio. I seriously only work out for 20 minutes ONCE A WEEK at the gym and my body is totally getting stronger and more defined. My strength has doubled in like 5 weeks! And it adapts to my back injury so I can still go all out without hurting myself. You have to see for yourself to believe it. Joining ESS was the best decision I have made for my health during the pandemic. And it is very safe.”
