Doris had been hurt in an unsupervised gym years before and was afraid to try strength training again. When her son, who’d been training at Starting Strength Indianapolis for over a year, gave her a week’s trial as a Mother’s Day gift, she decided to take the chance. Coach Adam stayed with her throughout that first week, adjusting her form as she learned. By the end of the week, she was convinced and signed up for a membership. Six months later, she’s pain-free, picks up heavy items without thinking about it, and easily stands up from a seated position without struggle.
