If it doesn’t challenge you,
it doesn’t change you.

My name is Debbie Long and I’m the owner of Armour Up Fitness. I have over twenty years experience leading groups and individual workouts but this was not my original goal. I was on my way to being a physical therapist. I worked as a physical therapy tech while going to school, first to be an assistant. I loved helping people progress and improve, regardless of age, but what I did not like about the profession is the ‘penalties’ the patients have to take because of the way insurance bills and the medical world cutting therapy for patients in lieu of needing to meet ‘productively’ to bill insurance and the medical facility. Patients rarely ended up with the quantity of time they needed and billed for. I then changed my field to pharmacology. The more I learned about the chemicals in most prescribed medications, the more I realized the formal medical field was not for me. I prefer natural cures, giving the body what it is missing, teaching that it is never too late to start to get healthy and exercise. I love seeing my client’s progression of getting stronger and more confident, the health benefits and the physical and mental changes.

We  can also help you recover from injuries, surgeries, chronic postural issues, tight muscles, shin splints, plantar fasciitis, slumped shoulders, low back pain, etc. We do an assessment of where you are and that is where we start.
