Terry Foil

Meet Terry Foil!
I am a mother of two sons and, so far, a Grandma to two girls and a boy. I’m recently retired from working with my husband in our landscape contracting company, and lover of all things Montana!

When did you start coming to Prevail?
I started coming to Prevail when my dog-sitter, Kim Tom, became a trainer and asked me to be a client.

What impact has training at Prevail made in your life?
I like the commitment required with having a trainer (now, Alexis Anderson). I am stronger and feel like we are keeping pace with the ravages of time, to some extent! I enjoy meeting new workout partners. Since I have injuries from running and past athletics, it is good to feel like my body is more balanced and my knee is being supported as I walk and hike. And I won’t make myself work as hard as Alexis does. Thanks, I think, Alexis!

Do you have any words of encouragement or tips for somebody new to exercise (or restarting)?
Prevail does a great assessment of your strengths and weaknesses and starts right where you can handle it. You gradually work up to more and more so have no fear of hurting yourself. It will make you feel better!

What are your hobbies?
I hike, walk my dog, do needlework of all sorts, read, volunteer for the SB Rescue Mission and my church, El Montecito Pres. My husband, Ron, and I travel to visit our kids and grandkids and to our home in Montana.

What is your favorite movement/exercise?
My favorite: Almost everything, especially stretches. Least: Bear crawl

Any additional comments you would like to share?
The whole crew at Prevail is really great!
