Bloomingdale's Cindy & Kana Brooks
Kana:
I have been coming to BayCare HealthHub for 4 years. My first experience was with Mark Oliver (Specially Fit). I was also involved in the Special Olympics. Then I trained with Brad, which led me to Leslie’s Pilates, which helped me with strength and coordination for tennis. I enjoy the other GroupEx classes as well. I love having massages with Chrissy! I have also experienced excellent care from Urgent Care and Labs.
Cindy:
I came to BayCare to see an Orthopedist and realized Kana’s insurance covered the Fitness Center. My husband Dennis and I had consults with trainers Brad and Tara, which led me to a Studio Pilates open house. I bought a package for me and for Kana, and from there we never stopped taking her classes. I can’t say enough about the quality of services BayCare has provided for us. I switched to having all my MRI’s and mammograms at BayCare. I have recommended the fitness center and other services to so many people!
