Jess

My name is Jess Silver and I am 18 years old. I was born with a physical disability known as Cerebral Palsy and my condition confines me to a wheelchair. Despite not being able to walk and having to face many challenges which arise on a daily basis because of my disability, I still manage to fight through the obstacles. Exercise has proven to be one ways of overcoming these obstacles.

Over the years I have tried countless types of physio therapy and rehab and have constantly strived to improve upon skills to help me achieve some confidence, strength and ability to be independent. After working with Vlad and Pure Motivation for almost a year, I am finding that I enjoy the workouts a lot more then any of the other types of physio or training I’ve ever done. It might because Vlad’s workouts are challenging and I like to face challenge but I also find it extremely enjoyable and motivating.

It’s a good feeling to be able to workout and feel like you can accomplish a lot even though you’re in a wheelchair. I feel a lot stronger thanks to the workout routines and way more confident in myself and more importantly my movements. I am now able to sit on a bench for a much longer period of time independently, and do exercises such as planks, squats and chin-ups with a much higher degree of ease.

Being motivated is extremely important for me and I now feel a lot more motivated!

Thanks guys,

Jess
