      Ann Margaret McKillop

      Ann Margaret McKillop, owner of My Fitness Recovery, is a lifelong exercise enthusiast. In her younger days, she was a N.J. track and field state champion, multiple state record holder, multiple school record holder and M.V.P.; at Penn State, she was Eastern collegiate champion, school record holder and M.V.P.

      When a series of debilitating injuries threatened to end 35 years of running enjoyment, she was thrilled to discover ChiWalking® and ChiRunning® by Danny Dreyer. After taking the ChiRunning® course with Danny, realizing its benefits and being able to run pain-free, she immediately became a certified instructor.

      She quickly found that ChiWalking® and ChiRunning® were perfectly complementary with Dog Whisperer Cesar Milan’s “mastering the walk,” and Poo-Chi was born.

      Now Ann Margaret spends her exercise time concentrating on listening to her body pursuing those activities that bring her joy and ease of movement. She is, in short, Reclaiming her Joy.

      Scooter

      Scooter MacGruder, ChiDog extraordinaire and Golden Retriever/Brittany rescue dog, hails from Albuquerque, NM, where he quickly established a reputation as a Tasmanian Devil. When he came east to Ann Margaret and Vermont, he learned the joys of plenty of exercise, discipline and loving care. He enjoys running, cross country skiing, walking, agility, tracking, free-style dancing, snagging strawberries from the garden, and snuggling on the couch.

      Scooter and Ann Margaret hope to bring Poo-Chi to dogs and dog lovers everywhere and, in the process, help support the amazing work done by animal shelters and rescue organizations.
