A business card for martha theirl , pt , dpt performance physical therapist

About Martha:

 

Martha has been a loyal member of Prototype for over 2 years! If you have been into the gym in the afternoon, chances are you’ve met Martha! She has a smile that is contagious and is just an incredibly positive person overall. Martha has helped many people in the gym bounce back from injuries or evaluate movement dysfunctions to help them get closer to their goals. Martha is also a new Mom this year!

 

A message from Martha:

 

I’m operating with telehealth right now for performance physical therapy.

As of June 1, I’m seeing patients in person- mainly outside and physically distanced for those who prefer in-person sessions. These sessions will have both of us masked and extra cleaning precautions will be taken. These appointments can be outside your home! No need to find a sitter or worry about others during your session.

 

Are you avoiding going to the doctor or traditional Physical Therapist because you don’t have time, don’t want to be told to stop exercising, or don’t want to be treated with a cookie-cutter approach? Work with someone who understands your drive and listens to your story and goals. Don’t be sidelined by an injury. Let Q4 Physical Therapy help you find the root cause and set a clear path forward so you’re never nervous about another workout again. 

Schedule your free 20-minute consult here or call Martha at 508-250-9384.

ERA Key Realty: Graham Pettengill

A business card for era key realty services

About Graham:

Graham has been part of the Prototype community since 2016. He was introduced to CrossFit by his daughter and son in law and hasn’t looked back! Graham has a background in endurance training, and has even run the Boston Marathon! If you come to the 7am workouts, you’ve definitely met Graham! He’s one of the most personable and honest people I’ve ever met and has helped several people at Prototype with their house buying experience. If you’re in the local area and are looking to buy or sell your home, Graham is your guy!

 

A message from Graham:

So glad to be a sponsor of this great community and all we do for each other especially in this time of distress and economic disruption. As you know real estate luckily was deemed essential for the start so we have been able to show, list, and even hold open houses. The market is extremely hot as inventory has dropped to record lows and buyers seek to move from smaller and urban locations to the relative safety and space of the suburbs.  

 

Sellers:

  • Zoom and FaceTime are used for first meetings to set expectations for seller and agent on listing your home.
  • Virtual, video,  zoom showings, and required pre-approvals are ways we have adapted to decrease foot traffic through one’s home to only serious buyers.
  •  I can say the level of adoption to this new method of showing is spotty today as some agents struggle with technology and inevitable change.
  • Open houses if the seller would like are done with one party at a time not touch and masks are required, we leave every door open and lights on to ensure the safety of all.
  • We have in some cases blocked showings to a smaller window so I can greet each agent and buyer and ensure all protocols are being followed.
  • 3d showings allow buyers to look at each room and exterior as if they were in the home and these are a permanent part of my team’s approach to selling your home.

Buyers:

  • Each buyer is required to wear masks at a minimum and gloves if they wish to touch any surface. I always wear gloves to ensure I can open any items of interest to my buyers.
  • All are aware of the intensity of today’s market as homes are being sold in hours and days with multiple offers, I ensure myself or a member of my team are available to show a home on a moments notice so we are able to react before it is under agreement.
  • Offers are structured to stand out even against cash buyers and terms are created to stand out in a field of offers.
  • My team of inspectors attorneys and lenders are able to react quickly so we are able to be ahead of the competition.

Overall we are in desperate need of homes to sell and with little effort on your part we are seeing quick sales with very little exposure to you and your family, I’m happy to help and am willing to offer any Prototype member $500 towards closing costs towards your sale or purchase.

Congratulations to Natalie for being February's Prototype of the Month! Below, she shares his experience with Prototype, what drives her, and the goals that keep her motivated. 1.) Share your experience at Prototype. I have been at Prototype for a little over a year but started doing drop-in classes prior to that. Every time I dropped into class, I was welcomed and felt really at home, which prompted me to join after a 4 year Crossfit hiatus. 2.) What is your favorite part about being at Prototype? I really love the camaraderie and the way everyone supports and encourages each other. The energy and joking of the 5am class is what motivates me to get up at the crack of dawn to workout each week. 3.) What are your hobbies and activities? I am obsessed with traveling and travel planning! I really enjoy running and hiking, especially with friends. I also really love my job and furthering my education and career. 4.) How has Prototype helped you or solved a problem for you? Prototype has helped me to love Crossfit and working out in a group again. After a 4 year hiatus and working out by myself, I am really enjoying the way that the classes and people motivate me to work on my weaknesses and to push myself further than I would alone. 5.) What are you continuing fitness goals to this point? I want to get back to doing pull-ups and toes to bar again without struggling and despising them so much. 6.) Favorite Quote Don’t just aspire to make a living, aspire to make a difference. -Denzel Washington
