My son has cerebral palsy with major lower limb involvement. Many, or most “normal” exercises are a challenge because of his lack of balance while standing. About two years ago, we found Donna Gordon’s “Sit and Be Fit” class, Walker Ranch Senior Center. This seated, adaptive activity accommodates my son’s disability. Donna’s class offers my son safe, upper body exercise. Throughout the class, Donna always offers instruction, gentle correction and positive encouragement to all participants. We are grateful to Donna Gordon for the work she is doing with Seniors and others needing Adaptive exercise opportunities.
I got to know Donna at the Season’s Alzheimer’s Care and Assisted Living while my mother-in-law was being cared for at this facility. Donna has been a regular there, and she is wonderful with all the residents and their visiting families. She truly cares for each individual. She brings them smiles with life and energy, upbeat music, beautiful and colorful costumes which she designs herself, wonderful performances, and exercises that gets them all involved. She knows the importance of physical activity at every age and stage of life, and she knows the best tools to use for getting positive results.
I would like to recognize Donna Gordon, the Exercise Coordinator at Season's Alzheimer's Memory Care Center on Nacogdoches for the outstanding job she does with the residents. Donna encourages the residents to participate and helps keep them active and engaged with their physical mobility three times a week. Donna's knowledge and experience working with Alzheimer's patients derived from caring for her mother, as her mother battled with this mind crippling disease. The residents enjoy the music, exercises, especially the "Keeping the Balloons Afloat" activity. They also enjoy the lollipops treat after their excercises. It really helps the residents stay active, plus you also see them enjoying themselves having fun. Thank you!
Donna believed in me even when I couldn't provide that belief for myself. She taught me True Strength thru Fitness. She lead the way for me to excel. Anyone who trains with Donna leads a blessed life.
I volunteer with Donna at Alexis Point assisted living facility and absolutely love working with her. She is a Dynamo and truly motivates the residents and truly cares for them. She is a master of costumes and never ceases to run out of energy or enthusiasm. She brightens up everyone's day, not just the residents but also the employees, as well as family and friends who may be visiting. She is truly a blessing to everyone she touches.
I've had the privilege of knowing Ms. Donna for about 4 years. She would come to the facility I would work at (Seasons Memory Care) and would fill the energy of the room with such love. Her caring for the residents' never went unnoticed and she created many unbreakable bonds with them as well as with the staff and family who would join in on the festivities she would put on. If you were having a not so good day, Donna's cheerful spirit would change your mood in a second. She is such a delightful, patient, and dedicated person; I always looked forward to seeing her each week.
Donna is Amazing!! She keeps me motivated and working. She is very positive and that is motivation in itself. I would recommend her to anyone looking for help with a personal trainer.
When you have been out of shape your entire life, and starting an exercise program seems like the scariest thing you can do, you feel like no one understands. BUT Donna UNDERSTOOD!!! She knew we had to start with tiny baby steps and I love her for that. Donna was an answer to our prayers. I can't tell you how many trainers say they understand, but don't. Her beyond-positive attitude, loving spirit and patience gives me hope. I am SO lucky that we have found her, my mom who is in her 70's has a new lease on life, thanks to Donna!
I reached out to Donna to provide gerontology strength and conditioning training for our elderly parents who have never followed a training schedule before now. Donna is excellent. Both Mom and Dad love their workouts with her. Donna explains what they are doing and how the exercises will help them stay strong and flexible. She helps them warm-up and stretch. Donna is careful, supportive, and knowledgeable. I give Donna my highest recommendations.
Mrs. Donna I can write a book about her. The passion she haves working with every residents is Awesome. Mrs. Donna is very loving caring,loves what she do. Residents can't wait to see her because she puts a smile on there faces when she enters in the building. Mrs.Donna is a phenomenal Woman!!!!
