Leif, a dedicated fitness enthusiast and father of two, found his active lifestyle disrupted after tearing his meniscus during a HIIT class. The injury left him with intense pain and limited mobility. When Dr. Jacobson at The Center explained that the meniscus wouldn’t heal on its own, Leif had a tough choice: live with the discomfort or undergo surgery. Knowing that his passion for fitness and being an active role model for his kids was at stake, Leif chose surgery. Just three months later, he’s back to full strength, lifting, squatting, and embracing life at the gym—pain-free and ready to keep showing his kids the power of perseverance and a healthy lifestyle.
