Jackie has trained a wide variety of people, from athletic bodies, to those with cancer, MS, stroke, and Parkinson's. She believes every body benefits from healing movement.
Jackie Farnsworth was a Trainer attached to LA Fitness and who did Physical Training for my adult son Arjun. It was no easy task as Arjun has Parkinson's Disease, requiring major consideration in planning and execution of his training. It required knowledge of the areas affected by the illness and plan an appropriate set of exercises that took into account his limitations, which equipment to work with and how much exercising/repetitions was prudent. Jackie did just that in her training sessions to bring the best out of Arjun, and he, in turn, always came away exhibiting improved mobility, self confidence and energy. During this period, Arjun had been attending other Physical Therapy sessions, and, I can say, without hesitation, the training he received at LA Fitness with Jackie surpassed the ones he had outside. It was targeted towards his condition to maintain and improve his mobility/strength, and provided in a way that motivated him to give his best effort. He always looked forward to the Training sessions. Jackie was always punctual, accommodating us in appointment changes and caring for the Trainee. We certainly miss her service here and have no doubt she will be an immense help to others requiring such knowledgeable training.
