History of Essentrics®: Over  twenty  years ago,  former professional ballerina  Miranda  Esmonde-White created the  Essentrics®  technique—a dynamic  stretch workout  for all fitness levels  designed  to engage  all  650 muscles and majority of our 360 joints.

In the late 1990s Esmonde-White  developed her workout   into  the  highly acclaimed  20-year running  fitness television  show, Classical  Stretch®, for the PBS  network.

Fueled by a passion to educate viewers about the science of aging and movement, Miranda ventured  into writing scientific and lifestyle books: New  York  Times  bestseller, Aging Backwards, the Nautilus award-winner, Forever Painless and most recently, The Miracle of Flexibility: A Head-to-Toe Program to Increase Strength, Improve Mobility, and Become Pain Free — books which have yielded award-winning documentaries for PBS of the same name.

Elite One-to-One Personal Training

Perhaps over the years you have had to assist frail elderly parents. Or you’ve seen those awful “Help, I’ve fallen and can’t get up” commercials.  These unwanted instances stir determination in us to develop and maintain what WildFire! calls Vibrant Longevity, as seen through strength, vigor, posture, balance and a joyful attitude.
 
In Person and/or Online Personal Training provides you with motivation, accountability, education and results that only come from working with a skilled, certified personal trainer who specializes in working with Boomer/Senior clients.
 
Having a Personal Trainer committed to your well-being and longevity keeps you on track for reaching life changing health and fitness goals.
 
Personal training priorities change once we cross into our fifties, sixties and beyond. It’s no longer exclusively about six-pack abs or having perfect proportions – although these are fun to attain. 

Our priorities now include pain-free movement, physical strength, excellent posture, and respiratory and heart health freedom while walking up a flight of stairs.
 
 
We develop and sustain Vibrant Longevity through three general modes of exercise. These include: 1. Mobility Training, which reduces muscle tension and improves joint range of motion – allowing us to improve flexibility, coordination and balance; 2. Core Strength Training, which helps elevate resting metabolism, enhances overall posture and performance and defers onset of chronic disease; and 3. Metabolic Conditioning, which increases energy expenditure for weight loss and improves efficiency at which the lungs utilize oxygen and the heart pumps blood throughout the body – resulting in cardiorespiratory and cardiovascular health.*
 
Eunis WildFire!’ Christensen’s age-specific personal training first includes a no-cost introductory get-to-know each other half hour meeting, which includes answering questions and providing you with a Health History and Fitness Goals Form, waiver description and pricing sheet to take home and review at your leisure.
 
Should you decide to embark on your personal training journey with WildFire!, our first training session will include a movement screening assessment. That day we will begin safe and energizing exercises specific to your health and fitness priorities within limits that your body will allow. 

For additional information on Vibrant Longevity specific personal training please call 562-879-1954.
