This month we said goodbye to one of our members, Jim Fallon, who died on August 6th. While Jim worked with us, he was constantly experiencing health challenges. When he would miss an appointment, Steve and I would often stand at the window of our facility (Jimmy lived across the street) and send good humor and energy his way. This was often followed up with a phone call, and soon we would see Jim walking across the street for his exercise session. Jim epitomized the attitude that we believe in, with regards to strength training. As long as one is able, one should attend to their strength exercise. Without your muscles, you cannot function. As long as you wish to get out of bed, move around, take all that life has to offer, and dream of doing it again the next day, you should attend to your strength training.

Jim always had something humorous and positive to say, even when he was in obvious discomfort. He always laughed at Steve’s and my jokes, even when they were directed at him. He inspired us, and those who watched him come and go from our facility. Thank you Jim Fallon….
