Wow! Jackie is AMAZING! I was away with some friends in Chestertown this weekend (a very low-key…read morebachelorette weekend) and one friend suggested that we find a local yoga class since it was raining and outdoor activities were a bust. My friend found Jackie online and emailed to see if she would do a class for us. Long story short, she (on very short notice) set up a private lesson for us at a super reasonable price. She asked if we had any particular areas we wanted to work on and focused the stretches on those. She worked with each of us to perfect our poses and was super fun and engaging! The time (1.5hrs) zipped by so quickly and we were incredibly relaxed afterwards. We all enjoyed it so much, that we asked her if we could come back again the next day and she agreed! Next day was even better - she pushed us to do some GREAT stretches and poses. If I lived anywhere close to Chestertown, I would definitely take regular lessons with Jackie! As a bonus, the yoga studio is attached to a GREAT coffee shop/cafe, called the Seed House. We tucked in to some tasty treats (avocado toast with poached eggs) and loose leaf tea after our workout - perfect!

Jackie Richards ran an incredible spontaneous yoga WEEKEND for us! I was in town with friends and…read moregot her number from the Seed House (also an amazing place), and she happened to be available THAT DAY and she ran an hour and a half yoga class for me and friends! I was not only impressed with her flexible spirit (willing to meet us on a rainy day at the drop of a hat), but I was also really impressed with her class. She *really* tailored the class to our level, gently introducing the use of props (like bolsters and straps) to help us through the movement while always allowing us the freedom to push further. Additionally, she really listened to our concerns and tailored the class around our trouble areas (hips and lower back). A *VERY IMPRESSIVE* yoga teacher and experience! Oh, and the space at the Seed House is beautiful too! I *thoroughly* recommend!!!

At 57 years old, I didn't think I needed to be concerned about cholesterol and blood glucose…read morenumbers but testing showed I was heading to the problem danger zone. If I didn't make changes there was a high probability of soon taking prescription drugs. Having previously tried things on my own, I knew I would fail or possibly risk injury to myself. I decided to invest in a personal trainer who would understand my goals and develop a custom-tailored plan and monitor my progress to keep me on track. Stacia is well trained and an experienced professional who clearly put a lot of time in designing a program which is geared specific to my needs. The workouts are fun and mixed with plenty of variety so I don't have the chance to ever be bored, plus I'm learning the proper form and technique. Right from the start I knew she created a game plan that was hitting the mark. Three months into the program at 2BFit my A1C glucose levels dropped dramatically (well below pre-diabetic levels) and cholesterol numbers are now the lowest in 7 years. I know I would never have achieved this level of fitness and wellness if not for Stacia and her personal attention, professional knowledge, and encouragement. I'm very impressed with her passion to help clients progress safely with their individual goals and needs, all while taking into consideration their abilities. Bottom line- the value of working out at 2BFit is reflected in the proven results in my health and fitness. If you want to make an investment in your strength and flexibility and are ready to make a commitment and work for a better quality of life, please reach out to Stacia. She deserves the highest praises and compliments for keeping me motivated and pushing me hard enough to achieve the maximum benefit with each training session. ~CDale~ Mount Joy, PA

The heater motor burned out on Tuesday and NO repairs have been made and there is no information available regarding status. It is COLD in the gym. And with next week's forecast showing highs in the 20s, this is not sustainable. An indoor business like this should have HVAC issues resolved same day or, worse case, next day. We're on Day 4 and no workers anywhere. I plan to ask for a refund for any days where it is too cold to use the gym.
