I was totally into prepping for any and all the next races, but instead was pleasantly surprised by my pregnancy. Sunita helped me through a very uncomfortable 8 months by guiding me and or encouraging me to do the right exercise for my body in my condition, helping me get stronger and stronger for when labor came. Years have passed, and I know I owe Sunita being strong and fit for the hard work of delivering a baby.

In our initial consultation, Henning took the time to listen to my concerns and goals, and he tailored our training sessions to meet my specific needs. His calm, reassuring, and confident demeanor has motivated me, even on the toughest days. What I appreciate most about Henning is his deep knowledge of exercise science and his ability to explain complex concepts in a way that is easy to understand.
