Hiring Kristi has been one of the best decisions I've made all year. I was tired of feeling bad for…read morenot going on a run or working out, and I knew if I was going to ever start working out, I'd need to make it as convenient as possible for myself. Kristi has been coming over to my house once a week for the past six months and I've never in my life felt stronger or more confident. This summer, I wore a tank top (without a sweater over it) for the first time in my adult life. Not only that, it was a cropped tank top!! I've also had to get new jeans, since my old ones are too big now. Kristi has gone above and beyond in helping me build this newfound confidence. She's also offered dietary tips here and there that have been completely game-changing. She's an incredible cheerleader, coach, and advisor. I feel so lucky to have found her, and highly recommend her to anyone interested in hiring a personal trainer.

We've been working out together…read moreconsistently for over seven months now, and she's thoughtful, encouraging, and deeply knowledgeable about the body. I had never done consistent weight training before, and as a woman entering my 40s, it felt important to start. I initially came to her while dealing with a foot injury, and after my surgery she's helped me rebuild strength safely and effectively. I trust her completely and couldn't recommend her more highly.

Pilates with Jamaica is wonderful. I've been working with her now for two years and literally…read moregetting stronger every week. She's been particularly helpful with re-training how I move so as to properly engage my muscles without injury. I've enjoyed a reduction in neck and shoulder pain with her that I haven't felt in over a year. I definitely recommend doing Pilates with her. Thanks Jamaica!

She is a very patient and kind teacher and I found her to be super knowledgeable. In particular, I had a spine (neck) injury and she was very helpful in getting me back to health and feeling no pain.

Marci is fabulous!! She came to my house to work with me, and didn't mind that my toddler was on…read morethe loose during our sessions. She was, in fact, really great with her, having been a nanny for many years before she became a personal trainer. The very best thing about Marci is that she wants what YOU want. I've had other personal trainers who have wanted something different than I did, and were obviously not happy with my progress even though I was thrilled with it. Marci was right on the same page with me. Also, she comes very well-prepared with a workout all laid out specifically designed for you, but at the same time can change it all on the fly if she walks in and sees that you are a little under the weather, or have had a super hard couple of days or whatever. I always appreciated that about her. As you can see, I can hardly recommend her enough. Aside from all of these kudos, Marci is just a really lovely person. I have now moved away, and will really miss her smiling face and fabulous red lipstick!

Marci is hands down the best. She worked with me years ago to get me in shape for my wedding and I…read morewas in the best shape of my life. Unfortunately, with kids and a career, I fell off the wagon and stopped exercising regularly for a number of years. I developed chronic back pain that got so bad that even a small simple movement could trigger sudden pain. I also had a permanent crick in my neck and reduced mobility when I would try to turn my neck to the left side. I reconnected with Marci last year who tailored workouts that would increase strength and flexibility in my back. The thing I really like about Marci's workouts are that they are short and doable - I don't have to try and motivate myself to do a grinding one hour workout. But if I do Marci's workouts 4 times a week, I really see results in how I look and in my strength. Marci offers live group workouts, recorded sessions and one on one Zoom training. I do one personal session a week and then live or recorded sessions several other times, depending on my schedule. My back was so bad last summer; today,I have no pain. I don't event think my back any more and can do all the things I used to. I would highly recommend Marci to anyone with back pain (I am in my fifties) or who is looking for a doable, short routine that will get you toned.

I can't say enough good things about Pamela. She's an awesome trainer, but what really stands out…read moreto me is just how knowledgeable she is - not only about lifting and strength training, but also nutrition, hydration, recovery, female-specific health, injuries, and how all of those things work together. I came into training with pretty limited knowledge about fitness and, honestly, not a great understanding of my own body either. Pamela has an amazing ability to take something that feels complicated and explain it in a way that actually makes sense. She doesn't just tell me what exercise to do - she explains why we're doing it, what muscles we're working, how it connects to an injury or weakness, and what I should be paying attention to. I've learned so much from her along the way. When I first started, I was dealing with chronic back pain and was pretty nervous about lifting weights. I had this idea that I needed to wait until my back was completely pain-free before I could really start getting fit. The problem was, that day never came. Pamela helped me realize that I didn't have to wait. She worked around my limitations, adjusted things when something didn't feel right, and gradually helped me build strength without making me feel afraid of hurting myself. That ended up changing so much for me. My back is much stronger now, and what used to feel like an ongoing chronic issue no longer controls what I can do. More importantly, I trust my body a lot more than I used to. One of the best and most unexpected results has been getting back into tennis. I love tennis, but because of my back, I had started to think it might be something I just wouldn't be able to seriously enjoy anymore. Getting stronger gave me the confidence and physical foundation to start playing again, and now I'm actively taking tennis classes and working on leveling up my game. I'm really grateful to Pamela because she didn't just get me stronger - she changed the way I understand fitness and my own body. She helped put me on a completely different trajectory, and I'm doing things now that I honestly didn't think would be possible when I first started working with her. I highly recommend her, especially if you want a trainer who really knows her stuff and can explain the "why" behind what you're doing in a way that actually makes sense.

Pamela knows her stuff! I came to her looking for a personal trainer who could teach me the…read morefundamentals of strength training and help me build muscle, and she absolutely delivered. She knows how to push you just enough to keep you challenged/sustainable without making it feel overwhelming. I can confidently say I feel so much stronger and way more comfortable in the gym now than I did before working with her. What I didn't expect was how much I would learn outside of the workouts. She taught me so much about nutrition and how to fuel my body. We also finished every session with an amazing stretch (honestly, it felt like a mini massage), which made such a difference and helped me take better care of my body overall. I really can't recommend Pamela enough. She's incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely wants to help you succeed.

I highly recommend Functional Practice! As a healthcare worker, I'm on my feet for most of the day,…read moreso dealing with ongoing sciatica was really affecting both my work and everyday life. I had tried different approaches before, but I was still experiencing pain and discomfort. Since working with Functional Practice, I've noticed a huge improvement and, most importantly, I no longer have sciatica pain. I feel stronger, move better, and can get through long days on my feet without the discomfort I had gotten used to. I really appreciate their personalized approach and the time they take to understand the underlying issues rather than simply treating the symptoms. The exercises and guidance have made a noticeable difference, and I'm very happy with the results. Definitely worth checking out if you're dealing with chronic pain or mobility issues!

She instantly seemed to know what my body needed to do better-in that moment, but also for sustained relief. She focuses on pain relief while also building strength and mobility that will make tomorrow better too. I have been lucky enough to work with her on and off since before COVID. She is able to adapt to how I show up each session, she intuitively figures out what my body is looking for. I went from being so frustrated with my situation to feeling empowered to make moves to feel better. She gives you things you can do on your own but if you can, working with her in person is the absolute best.

I worked with Christina for about 6months and she is amazing! When I first started with her, I…read morewanted to start strength training but was too nervous to go into the weight room at my gym without knowing what I was doing. I decided to work with her once a week to learn the movements and proper form, and to get comfortable lifting weights. After a few weeks I started feeling confident enough to use the weight room at my gym and have never looked back! Christina is an amazing trainer, she really cares about her clients and is an excellent teacher and mentor. I have learned so much from her, and I am so grateful for our time together. She is the reason I'm now able to strength train independently, and it has seriously changed my life! I could not recommend her enough thank you Christina, you're the best

Had a fantastic experience with coach Christina, we did weekly sessions for about 3 months where…read moreshe helped me target areas I struggled with by myself for years. It started with an assessment to find out where my body was then we went into my ideals and goals rather than following a standard plan. This experience felt tailor made and encouraged me to complete and finish the fitness journey. As a coach she is very thorough in explaining the reasons and values of each work out, this was a big plus for me since I am more receptive to things I understand. After our sessions I held on to the knowledge she imparted me and continue to utilize it today. Again it was an overall fantastic fitness experience, and one that I highly recommend ,especially if you are new to the gym world.

Tammy is absolutely stellar. I initially reached out to her to in hopes of finding personalized…read moreattention in a budget-friendly group setting. It worked perfectly! Tammy folded me into a small "boot camp," and I would look forward to chatting with her and other brides about florist referrals or tailoring tips while getting in top notch shape. She was incredibly respectful of my health background (I can't follow the food guidelines of other ladies in my group) and was able to keep two or three of us working at our individual fitness levels at the same time. I was able to offload all of my stress about fitting into the dress onto her. :) Something I didn't fully appreciate until the frantic weeks before the wedding was how organized she is! I came to rely on her texts for friendly session reminders and post-workout kudos. I felt amazing during the wedding weekend, both because I felt more confident having all eyes on me (once the big day arrived, I actually wished I had picked a MORE form-fitting style!) and because I think her workouts helped a lot with stress relief. Definitely go to Tammy if you want a great trainer.

Tammy is wonderful -- as a human and a trainer. She radiates positivity, compassion and enthusiasm…read more After my engagement, I became incredibly anxious about the idea of "all eyes on me" (and my body) at my upcoming wedding. Tammy grounded me, respected me, and would respond to my "do I have enough time to get in shape?" questions with, "Stop what you're doing right now, and look at yourself in the mirror. You are beautiful just as you are now. And yes, you have plenty of time to get even more toned." She tailored each workout to me and really did have all eyes on me during each session in the best way, correcting my form, pushing me to do hard things, and making sure I was also focused on not just short-term results, but injury prevention and taking care of my body. She was flexible with my busy work schedule. She respected my complex relationship history with my body and had me focus on becoming the strongest, healthiest version of me, rather than getting caught up in what a bride "should" look like. She is special and spectacular!

I signed up with Ashley because I saw a review that said 'If you want someone to sweetly kick your…read moreass, sign up with Ashley!' so I immediately emailed her. However, she has never once kicked my ass - sweetly or otherwise. Instead she's used her expertise to keep me informed AND accountable. She always meets me where I am. If I'm struggling, she focuses on how to support me. If I'm hungry for information, she feeds me rationale and data. And she always brings me back to my goals. As a nurse, I thought I knew a lot about health and wellness. But my time with Ashley has shown me that there's still so much I don't know - which is why I was spinning my wheels without seeing results for so long. As a newer mom, I was so frustrated at not having enough time or energy to get organized and work on my own fitness goals. I love my old clothes and wanted so badly to wear them again! Ashley coaches me to see what SMALL, SUSTAINABLE changes can have a big, lasting impact. In 8 weeks of working together I'm wearing pants I thought were forever in the past. And although I haven't joined a gym or starting running etc., my awareness of my daily movement and food choices is at an all time high. It has made all the difference. My only regret is not looking for her sooner.

I'm a busy working Mom in my 40's and she really helped me to prioritize my health and fitness so I can be my best self both for me and for my family. I hadn't done that for a long time and it's probably the best GIFT that anyone has given me. I'm eating better, I'm stronger, and just happier with myself. I'm truly grateful to her for her support and friendship.
