Alex is a brilliant chef, nutritionist and coach. I am so blessed I got to work with him,…read moreparticularly during a very challenging part of my life. At the tender age of 31, I struggled with GERD, high blood pressure and a whole host of other health issues - most likely due to stress and city living. Alex was compassionate and kind, inspiring me to investigate my eating habits with "curiosity, not judgment." You'll find that's a common theme with Alex. And the results from our sessions together were amazing. I am not completely cured, but my GERD has vanished. I was able to stop my anti-anxiety medication that I had been taking for years. My blood pressure is several points lower. And I have a whole bunch of new recipes that Alex shared with me that I now make on the regular. He introduced me to my new favorite cookbook - Ottolenghi's Plenty - which is now part of my cooking repertoire. Plus, I discovered foods that I thought were healthy that my body hated, and new ones that my body loves. I think that was a lightbulb moment for me - that something objectively healthy like fruit could be great for one person and HORRIBLE for someone else. In short, Alex individually tailors each session to your needs, your body and your lifestyle. It's brilliant and a fantastic departure from the "one-size-fits-all" diet plan. Alex introduced me to new eating habits that make me feel great. He's an absolute god send, a compassionate listener and very smart. I can honestly say if you want to change your life in 12 weeks, please invest in Alex. Best money I've ever spent. He has transformed my life and made me enjoy eating - rather than dreading it.

I wasn't sure what to expect before Lela and I started working together. My understanding of a…read morecoach came from my past experiences playing sports. I approached the experience of working with Lela without expectations and with an open mind. Wow, was I impressed. I never realized how genuinely impactful someone could be as a coach. Lela shifted my life path. I was 19 when I began working with her and would 100% recommend any other teen or young adult to work with her. Especially young people who are open to hearing new ideas, and accepting guidance. She can write like a magician. This fact was most helpful when I was in a situation in which I needed to write a professional biography. I had weekly sessions with her to collaborate, edit what I had to write, and understand where the most appropriate places might be to share my work. Together, we actually realized that I didn't just want to write a professional bio, I wanted to share a much bigger story about my past. Just two years ago, when I was 17, I was in a near fatal car accident. I broke multiple bones and I had a TBI (traumatic brain injury). I had to relearn how to walk, talk, read, and write. When I started working with Lela, I had healed and was in my first year of university in Madrid. I wanted to work on a professional bio to use for business venture ideas while I completed my studies. Then we dug deeper into my story. Lela helped me see that I wanted to share all that I had learned from this experience in a more impactful way. So, we took that bio and slowly transformed it into a Ted Talk. I'm now in conversation with a TEDx leader, with plans to share this talk on stage later this year. I cannot believe how synchronistic all of this is, going from a short bio to a profound Ted Talk. Working with Lela enabled me to write my story, and reflect on how my accident changed me. It helped me heal and grow. Then to be able to bring this story to a larger audience, it all feels like I'm building toward something powerful. I started working with her in October 2019 and I continue to work with her now, in May 2020, which reveals how highly I value her as a coach. She's been incredibly flexible, working with me digitally and internationally, while I study abroad. She's given me clarity I wasn't even aware I was in need of. I was able to focus on my path with her help, confidently seeing where my ideas could lead me if I committed to them. This was something I had not learned how to do before. There were opportunities in my life that I didn't even know were there until she made me realize they were actually present. I'm really thankful I became aware of these opportunities and got a more focused and concrete idea around my own life while still a teenager. If you need help telling your story, or you feel a little bit lost in life at the moment, she can help you clarify your goals, create the life path that feels most inspiring for you, and share your story with the world. Thank you, Lela!

What stood out most is how motivating and uplifting he is, while still keeping you focused and accountable. His communication is also top notch, clear instructions, great feedback on form, and he adjusts workouts based on your goals and how your body is feeling. I saw my best results training with Lloyd. I would have continued long term, but I had to stop because I moved to a different location. If you're looking for a trainer who's knowledgeable, friendly, and consistently delivers results, I highly recommend Lloyd.

He knows when to push and when to adjust, which keeps things challenging but doable. I've gotten stronger, more confident, and actually enjoy working out now.

The idea of a personal trainer was always scary to me because I was picturing someone pushing me…read morebeyond my breaking point, boot-camp-style, and yelling at me for failing. Maria is so far from that, so if you're someone new to working out like me I would recommend her, as she really knows how to adjust from person to person. Maria is more than a trainer, she's truly a friend who is there to support you and guide you towards a healthier lifestyle, long term. She's full of knowledge and really knows what she's talking about. She shows up with a positive attitude and wastes no time. You don't get bored with repetitive workouts either because she switches things up every session. She's constantly helping me try things I never thought I was capable of, and by the end of every session I feel great about myself. I had never picked up a dumbbell in my life, and we now incorporate them in all of our sessions. She brings all of the equipment and mats for you so there aren't really any extra expenses you have to account for other than what you're paying for the sessions. Also her playlists are always dope! We meet twice a week because I have a tight schedule (but she also offers Zoom workouts, surprisingly very effective, you forget it's virtual) but I've already dropped 10 pounds since we started training in the beginning of the year. People have already started to point out that I look slimmer. She also helped me learn that you don't have to eat salads all day every day to lose weight. I'm slowly learning how to create a better relationship with food; she doesn't make you go on any restrictive diets, she just helps you learn the importance of healthier choices. She conveniently comes to my house and she even does the exercises with me. While you're training with her she's checking to make sure your form is correct, and she's always rooting you on. I've always been unsure how to workout and I'm not very knowledgeable in nutrition either, but she makes it easy by sending pages upon pages of helpful information, cool/interesting things she finds online, and her own advice. Her prices are reasonable and makes sense for how fully immersed she becomes when she takes you on as a client. She checks in with you even on the days you're not scheduled to see how your body is feeling and how you're eating. You can tell how dedicated and passionate she is about her career. All in all, if you're on the fence thinking about it for a while like I was, just do it. I was hesitant for so long but since training with Maria I've seen real results without having to change my life drastically.

And again, I hate working out, but she manages to make it something to look forward to.

Or at least my Mama in LA?…read more So... before you Yelp!ers read any further, I should warn you that, in case you didn't sniff it out (no pun intended) from the other reviews, I am about to review my colonic experience. Yeah I know... (listens to awkward silence in the room) ...but actually, once you get over the idea that this is a procedure that could be very invasive to a very private, usually-taboo-to even-your-doctor area... the awkwardness goes away. Seriously. This is by far one of the best ways I've discovered to cleanse my system, clean the pipes so to speak, and though yes I was TERRIFIED at first, now that I've done it... I'm not sure what took me so long. Fatima is one of the best holistic practioners I've ever met. Very professional and organized, and yet also charming and funny. She put me at ease right away, and even held my hand and coached me through when I was feeling nauseated halfway through the experience (my fault for not breathing properly, not hers). And the results are incredible - I just had my first colonic this weekend and already I'm feeling lighter, more energetic and my skin has cleared up. That said, the difference between a colon cleansing that will having you coming back for more versus one that could traumatize you for life is all dependent on the practitioner. PLEASE, this is coming from a self-confessed penny-pinching frugalista... don't cheap out on this one. I mean if you decide to get it done, YES they are really going to stick a tube down there and YES you do want someone as professional, knowledgeable and patient as Fatima and YES it is worth paying the premium for someone of her caliber. So why not just go visit Fatima instead? And seriously, she is NOT expensive. Out of respect for her business I won't mention numbers here, but let's just say she's very realistic about people's means to afford these treatments and will work something out with you if you really want to try this unconventional but very effective procedure. She's very much motivated by providing wellness to her community and is very reasonable with her prices. Cheers to you dear Fatima, thank you SO MUCH for making me feel right at home during what could have been a procedure that went horribly wrong. I will see you soon.
