Consequently, Libby established Movement Mantra Physical Therapy, where individuals can be treated as a whole—addressing not only pain, but performance, and improving quality of life building individualized health "toolboxes".Libby holds her CSCS as a certified strength and conditioning specialist, 200 RYT as a registered yoga teacher, and is a Precision One certified nutrition coach. These facets of her background give her a uniquely "whole"istic approach when it comes health and wellness and an ability to work with people on that larger aspects of health for longevity.When not in the clinic or working with nutrition clients you can find Libby out running the riverwalk of Chattanooga, hitting the weights in the gym, or sweating it out in yoga class. She loves to travel the world, trying out good food and spending time outside with family and friends!For details about our refund and cancellation policy, visit our FAQ’S: www.thechattery.org/faqs - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/chattanooga/strength-training-for-the-active-adult/100001985599753313 - **Event Categories**: health-wellness, Workshops, Nonprofit - **Slot details of has slots**: - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 28.52, max: 28.52, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Chattanooga - **state**: TN - **country**: United States - **location**: The Chattery - **lat**: 35.0321934 - **long**: -85.30325760000001 - **full address**: The Chattery, 1800 Rossville Avenue, Chattanooga, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Strength Training for the Active Adult - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/3f59aaeff5bafc53786a1e7764bd82ace90d06a13d7a9ba23e078b87ff562dff-rimg-w1200-h600-dcffffff-gmir.jpg?v=1774851264 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Strength Training for the Active Adult being held? - **A:** Strength Training for the Active Adult takes place on Wed, 22 Apr, 2026 at 06:00 pm to Wed, 27 May, 2026 at 06:00 pm at The Chattery, 1800 Rossville Avenue, Chattanooga, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Strength Training for the Active Adult? - **A:** Strength Training for the Active Adult is organized by The Chattery. - **Q**: What has been the experience of attendees at The Chattery's events? - **A:** Attendees have given The Chattery a rating of 5/5 based on reviews from early attendees on AllEvents.
