TESTIMONIALS.
“I have been working with Maggie Harding at DIAKADI for almost five years. We have traveled a long way together through that time; with Maggie’s patient encouragement and innovative exercise routines, I have lost over 50 pounds and can actually do push-ups. When we started I had a hard time with balance, limited stamina and could barely manage to lift a 5 lb weight. While I won‘t get style points for my exercise routine, I am more flexible, my arthritis is barely noticeable, and I can touch my knees with my nose. Maggie is creative and supportive; I couldn’t ask for a better coach.”
