Kelly is a wonderful trainer and extremely helpful and pleasant. Although my main goal for training is not weight loss, I was pleased that, within three months of training with her and following her advice on nutrition, I was able to lose about four pounds. I have been seeing Kelly for about ten months now, and I would highly recommend her. She is very professional, friendly, knowledgeable and pleasant. Also, she is very willing to accommodate one's physical limitations. I have necrosis of the hips and a tear in my gluteus minimum tendon, and Kelly is very thoughtful in designing exercises that will not cause pain due to those limitations. Her cancellation policies are very reasonable as well. For the cost of her services, which varies with the plan the client chooses, she provides extremely great value! The cost of Kelly's services varies with the plan one chooses (small group, once a week, twice a week etc.). Nutritional coaching can be purchased for an additional fee. The cost is not excessive, however, especially considering the beneficial services Kelly provides. On the first visit, Kelly provided a very thorough evaluation regarding my overall fitness and nutritional goals and explained her services and various fitness plans and payment options very thoroughly. Then, when I came for my first training session, Kelly conducted a very detailed baseline assessment of my weight, other physical data, and my physical capabilities. From that information (which she sent me also), she designed a fitness plan. Included are all the standard areas one would expect with a trainer--strength, resistance, cardiovascular, and stretching exercises. I see her twice a week and with each visit she provides a varied number of exercises (and nutritional tips) as I work out. Kelly is a vegan, so she is especially helpful on making tips about adopting a vegan diet, but she in no way is judgmental or pushy in her approach. There is always variety in the types of exercises that I do with her. She also sent me a file with photos of various corrective-stretching exercises that I could do at home in order to help with specific issues I was having. In addition, Kelly sends out a reminder once a week regarding entering and sending her data from my daily food logs. Moreover, once a month she does a fitness evaluation and measures and weighs me, which she also sends me in a PDF file. All in all, Kelly is an excellent trainer! read more

I can say without reservation that investing in Kelly Gibson's services for personal training and weight loss was one of the best decisions I ever made. In early 2015 I realized the weight I gained the previous year was not going anywhere. I came across Kelly while searching for a personal trainer on Groupon. After reading about Kelly on her website I quickly realized she had a passion not only for wanting to help people with their fitness goals, but also for providing them with the tools necessary to maintain a healthy lifestyle even after she was no longer working with them. Fast forward to September 2015 and I'm happy to say that with Kelly's guidance I was able to drop nearly 20 pounds. In addition, everything I learned from Kelly about nutrition has given me a newfound confidence that I will be able to maintain my current weight. Kelly really does go above and beyond to do whatever she can to help her clients realize their goals. Her workouts are challenging and done in a fun atmosphere. All the while she is always there with words of encouragement to help you get the most out of every session. From my standpoint it really meant a lot that she took the time to listen and help me better understand things. This was especially important when it came correcting my form during workouts and helping me realize the areas of my body where I needed to become stronger. Something else that I really believe separates Kelly from other trainers - especially when it comes to weight loss - is the fact she has walked in the very same shoes as those who she works with. That empathy allows her to not only understand where her clients are coming from, but it also empowers her to know what they are capable of doing. Sometimes that involves telling them things they don't want to hear (I admit I was a little stubborn in giving up some of my bad nutrition habits). The best advice I could offer to anyone who trains with Kelly is simple: Listen to what she has to say! She has an incredible foundation of knowledge, really cares and really wants her clients to succeed and tell stories like this! read more

I'm very happy with choosing Kelly Athletics because I truly believe I have received the best personal training service. My biggest fear before starting personal training was that I would have a trainer that would be intimidating and inconsiderate. Kelly is the exact opposite. To say that she is passionate about what she does would be an understatement. Kelly constantly finds ways to work with her clients by allowing same day rescheduling to ensure working out as a priority, giving free nutrition advice, and keeping clients accountable with daily food logs. In my personal experience I had foot pain while working out, but with the guidance of Kelly I was able to help my plantar fasciitis pain with shoes she recommended. I also had issues with my squat form but within just three weeks, I improved my form with corrective strengthening Kelly provided through a pre-workout stretching booklet she made herself. I'm proud to say that in the six months I have trained with Kelly I have nearly doubled my strength all around, lost 4% body fat, lost six inches, and maintained my healthy weight over this period. My contract is sadly coming to an end but I plan to renew because training with Kelly is just that awesome! I love her encouragement and abundant knowledge of how to live a healthier life. If anyone is considering starting personal training, Kelly Athletics is definitely the way to go! read more

I first contacted Kelly about 10 months ago to get in shape for my wedding. I had gained about 50 pounds and besides wanting to look good for my big day, I was feeling terribly embarrassed and uncomfortable with my body. I searched for vegan trainers online because I was also interested in switching to a plant based diet. When I read Kelly's story I knew she was just the kind of trainer I was looking for, someone who wouldn't pass judgment on my weight and would understand my struggles. The first time I met with Kelly my anxiety over being in a gym, surrounded by people in much better shape than me, overwhelmed me to the point of tears. Kelly was very kind and patient with me and worked with me until I could feel more comfortable in my own skin. I've lost 20 lbs since I started working with her and I know if I had followed her meal plans more strictly my results would be much faster. Besides the weight loss, when I follow her meal plans I find I have more energy and even clearer skin! My confidence has greatly improved and I actually enjoy going to the gym on my own now. Kelly has been an inspiration and has become a dear friend. I am very glad I contacted her to be my trainer and look forward to reaching my goals with her guidance! read more

I was always very active growing up (wrestling, soft ball, and cross country), and then I continued into adulthood in the Army, but after the pregnancy with my son, I found it very difficult to get back into shape even with the regular Army workouts. After just a few weeks of working with Kelly, I could already feel my body beginning to tone up, and my clothes becoming looser. She uses very effective workout strategies that incorporate balance, flexibility, and strength training together in a unique way. All of her sessions are different so that you don't get bored, but at the same time they are also created specifically to your personal needs. In the short time that I have been working with Kelly, I have lost 14 pounds, and greatly increased in strength, flexibility, and balance. Kelly is also very knowledgeable in the area of nutrition and has many resources available to help you stay on the path to good nutrition. She does not just give you a diet to follow; she provides lessons and helps you set specific goals for lifelong healthy eating. I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone of any fitness or nutrition level! read more

Kelly is a professional Personal Trainer who makes it her priority to help others reach their goals. I have found that she takes the time to listen to what I want, and prepare and assist me with workouts that get me there. I don't want to look like a muscleman, and so her workout is not a cookie-cutter design like you would find in a DVD workout plan. She customized it for me!

Kelly is a fantastic personal trainer! She pushes you right to the edge of you limit but not beyond your abilities. I have never worked out so hard in my life! As a consequence I am also in better shape than ever. Kelly took me from wimpy to fit in three months. That is really something because, Before working out with her I had basically never stepped foot in a gym. I love that you get detailed measurement each month and she even monitors your diet to keep you on track. read more

Kelly is a great trainer. I saw her twice a week for 5 months and she was very helpful. As a vegan myself, finding a trainer that also is a vegan is very helpful.

I still keep in touch with her on Facebook. I would highly recommend her over other trainers. read more

I am glad I met Kelly! She is a positive person and clearly loves working with people to help them with their health goals. I decided to commit to a 28 day vegan challenge with her.

She makes it fun and offers great support. I am happy to have her as a resource. read more
