Testimonies

My decision to go the AP Center has changed my life, and my thoughts. My trainers Michel and Valentina have so much enthusiasm and patience to help me that I would like to go to the training every day if that were possible. You get the inspiration through others fighting to move forward, be fit and to gain more. I am incredibly happy to see my progress in walking after only 1 month of Activity-Based Training at the AP Center.

Multiple Sclerosis

In November 2017 I started at the AP Center. I am seeing much progress with my hands. Now I can raise my right hand, move it, and bring it to my face. Those was things I could not do in the past. Through the exercises my body is more flexible. I am going with much enthusiasm to the AP Center of Fundashon Alton Paas. It is also a place to meet many people and make new friends.

Spinal Cord Injury

I am 91 years young and it is already 2 years that I am going to AP Center to do exercises that are helping me enormously. I can now move much faster. I do not have pain anymore and do not have to go to the physical therapist. I get up in the morning with much encouragement. I have to say that the trainers and assistants at AP Center are doing their maximum efforts to help everyone who nocks at the door of AP Center. They are immensely helpful and make me laugh every day.
