"Coach Jerry has been a tremendous help for our seven-year-old son. Jackson has autism but Coach Jerry treats him like a typical child. As a former professional athlete, I know the importance of strength, flexibility and discipline. Coach Jerry stresses these fundamentals to the kids in a way that is enjoyable. The progress Jackson has had in the past six months is incredible!" - Mike Sherrard, former NFL wide receiver (Giants/49ers/Broncos) "BMod Fitness has been an extraordinary experience for my son. Jerry is a gifted instructor and he and his staff provide a highly motivating and fun environment for these kids. My child has made significant gains in his coordination, attention, and social skills. The time with BMod Fitness is absolutely his favorite time of the week!" - Elisa Charney
"In just one month, Sasha has had significant improvement with sensory issues, eating and body strength. His ability now to walk, jump and run is just amazing. In spite of his cerebral palsy, he can do many of same things as other six-year-olds. But the most important thing I see is that he is now very confident. Thank you." - Coach Gago Demirchian, U.S. Olympic Fencing Team
"How do you say thanks to a place where my child feels confident doing things that normally do not come easy for him? In the few months we have been coming to Coach Jerry, Max has improved in so many ways! He pays attention better, he listens to directions, he literally asks to go to see "Jerry", which is HUGE because he is mostly a non-verbal child. (But that is improving too!) Max has Autism, and as I said before, a lot of physical activities are not easy for him. Coach Jerry immediately made Max feel comfortable and made sure that he was placed in a small group of kids that fit well together. Max has an absolute blast every single session he is there. It warms my heart to see my child so happy and to see him doing things that sometimes I did not even know he could do! It is obvious that the entire staff cares deeply about our children and love what they do!"
"Sometimes you get lucky. That's what happened when an acquaintance recommended that we take our young son Max to gymnastics therapy being run by Jerry Bennett. Max has a common kind of neuropathy that, while not severe, has had a profound impact on his abilities to run, jump and climb, to move with assuredness through the world. Over the past two years Jerry has helped Max get stronger and more capable by implementing a work program that is not just challenging, but fun. Bottom line, we've dealt with a number of physical therapists, and they've all been well-educated and well-meaning; Jerry brings these qualities to the table, and more: he has that most rare gift, a intuitive sense for what needs to be done and how to do it. This is a quality that no amount of training or experience can develop in full; you've either got it, or you don't. Jerry Bennett has it all, in spades, and it's what makes him and BMod stand out in the crowd."
Actually, I meant to write to you sometime in the next few days. I really appreciate your efforts to add an extra class on Tuesdays this past session, and I'm sorry to hear that business has been slow for you these past few months. Nevertheless, I decided to stop B-Mod because I've had a feeling for a few months already that B-Mod hadn't been challenging Alexandre very much anymore, so last Friday, I decided to sign him up for a trial gymnastics class at Monarchs during which I had him assessed by the coach. I watched Alexandre during the entire class, and I found that he was keeping up really nicely with the other boys (and in fact, in some areas like "rope climbing", he was even better than them!!!), and at the end of the class, the coach confirmed it and said that Alexandre was totally ready for "mainstream" gymnastics, so I signed him up in a beginners class for 6 to 8 year old boys. I don't think he would have gained that physical ability if B-Mod hadn't been there, though, and I really appreciate Chidi's and Bryan's good work. So, thank you, thank you, thank you to B-Mod for this great program!!! |
"I was introduced to Jerry and BMod fitness approximately two months ago, and while my first adult class was a bit humbling, the journey since has been nothing short of amazing. I’ve seen incredible results in my strength and stamina, my life long fear of heights seems to be a thing of the past, and most important of all, I’m having an absolute blast! Jerry is such an inspiring coach who truly strikes the balance between challenging and being supportive; he is always just as excited about my successes as I am. Every class is different so I’m never sure what’s in store for me, which means I can’t imagine ever getting bored with the workout. Beyond the physical and performance improvements, my energy is through the roof, and I’ve actually re-learned how to play. While I’ve tried so many different types of workouts over the years, Jerry’s gymnastics class is hands down the most fun, the most challenging, and the most all around beneficial. The fact that he has been able to create an environment for adults where several levels of physical abilities can work together, feel comfortable, and cheer each others successes on is pure genius. I absolutely, and without hesitation, recommend Jerry’s adult gymnastics to everyone!"
"My experience with the BMOD conditioning and fitness adult groups - As we grow up and become adults we assume an "identity" upon ourselves, now we need to be the "responsible" adult we can't "risk" doing all kinds of crazy stuff, and when going to the park with our kids we rarely find ourselves swinging on the swing or climbing the monkey bars. It's more about us telling our kids: "be careful not to…" (do what we're afraid of doing)
About 5 years ago I got my Pilates certification and started teaching, as a Pilates instructor I found about myself and my clients that this method addresses the body as well as the mind. It intrigued me how that works. When I met Jerry and BMOD it confirmed my strong belief that exercising and stimulation of the Vestibular system and the brain can actually change a person - mind, beliefs, behavior, abilities, and mood….! I started taking the adult classes about three months ago; the first lesson was really hard! But even after the first lesson I could feel the change, the euphoria after was unbelievable, I was just happy, and couldn't wait for my next session. Every session after became more and more do-able, and so much has changed in my life because of these lessons. The first thing I've noticed is that I have so much more energy throughout the week, I needed less sleep, another major thing was that I was so much happier, I hardly have any more "gloomy" days.
Later I found that I lost lots of fears, not only the fear of flipping … any fear that we endure as adults- fear of diseases, fear for our kids safety, fear of leaving the safety of the ground to fly or dive or surf or ski. So far I have mentioned only mental changes because I consider them the most important ones, but my body has changed a lot too, as I said I am a Pilates instructor, my job is to exercise …The information my body received by doing the BMOD adult exercising program helped me get even leaner and stronger, I am more balanced thanks to my balanced vestibular system, and I am sending my clients to take the BMOD program as part of their regular exercise routine. The best thing ever is that I am feeling like a kid again, I dare more; I can be silly and survive. This program is good for everyone, the fit and the unfit, it's a lot of fun and coach Jerry always makes it a positive, safe experience to anyone. I know that this will be the future "fitness trend" in the USA, and can't wait to witness it."
