Judy Stone-Goldman

I am a retired faculty member from the department of speech and hearing science at the University of Washington, where I taught for 25 years. I currently maintain a small speech therapy consulting practice.

I like write nonfiction and reflective writing, and my current focus is to expand this hobby into a new business.

My favorite piece of equipment is the arc trainer for cardio and the pull down for weights. I try to make it 7 days week for the discipline and routine.

For the past 3 year I have not been very active in the gym due to sickness, surgeries, and injuries. I tried weight training at another and only injured myself again. I am now able to do weights 3 times a week, and have been training with Diane DeFuria on a weekly basis. Being able to accomplish these workouts is a great success for me!

 My fitness goal is to be able to improve all aspects of fitness, and regain my health, strength and endurance.

What I love most about Snap Fitness is the location. It is close to my home and has easy access from the parking lot, also the equipment is of great quality. Most importantly though is the friendly atmosphere, the great staff, and the warm support offered to everyone.
