I needed a change. And I needed help finding a healthy way to do it and make it a lifestyle habit…read more Chelsea to the rescue! My why: I wasn't obese, but I definitely wasn't skinny. We all WANT to lose weight, but it's another thing setting that plan into action and sticking with it. The biggest thing that set those plans into action for me was the results I got from my doctor. My a1c levels were high, and I was diagnosed as prediabetic. After seeing my father's health decline due to his Type II diabetes and eventually pass from this and other health issues, I KNEW I needed a change. I also don't have kids, and I have been diagnosed as having PCOS which would make it difficult if we did want kids. So, the PCOS and prevention of Type II diabetes were the biggest reasons for me to change for my future and my FAMILY. I reached out to Chelsea in the beginning of February. She was quick to respond and so friendly. We had a phone conversation about my goals and a little bit about what her program was about, how it worked, why she got into doing what she does, and the options I could do if I chose to have her as my health consultant. This consultation is FREE and I never felt pressure to sign up for anything. It was just honest, genuine information, and she already made me feel so comfortable talking with her. We chose a program for me based on my needs and my finances. I won't go into details, but I'll just let you guys know that she makes everything so easy to follow and really works on changing your mindset (not just your diet). She doesn't just tell you to eat this or eat that; she asks you to ask yourself, WHY do you eat the things you do. What situations have what types of effects on you, on hunger, on your stress levels? She goes so much deeper than a nutritionist would, and I honestly can say that her results for my life will last longer than ANY diet I would ever try. This is because I view food in a totally different manner now. Because of Chelsea, I have not changed my diet, I have changed my outlook and feelings of and towards food and what they mean in my life. It is a wholesome change. She doesn't just focus on food. She focuses on many things in life including food, stress, happiness, sleep, family...and much more. She has led me to the right sleep schedules, eating schedules, what to eat and drink, what supplements could help me, even what books and documentaries would interest me. Literally, she has been such a huge part of my life, even post-program. As for my results, I have lost over 20 pounds. I lost maybe 7 pounds during the time of the program with Chelsea, but I continued to lose after the program ended because my lifestyle was changed and the weight kept coming off. The 20+ pounds lost has been over the course of 3 months. I've been losing a bit more than 5lbs per month without trying hard now because of the things I learned from Chelsea. It's crazy because I don't feel like I made huge sacrifices in life, or was deprived of anything on a diet. I feel like I gained SO much knowledge, I was constantly listening to hunger and eating the right foods my body needs as fuel. I'm still using all the tools Chelsea gave to me during her program, even without realizing it because it was easy to follow and has become part of my regular lifestyle. I never met Chelsea in person, only through our FaceTime meetings, yet I always felt so comfortable talking with her. The sessions seem to go by fast, because it's like you're talking with a friend who is SUPER knowledgable about everything health related! I highly recommend her if you are looking for a change in your life and want to be happier and healthier--she definitely turned my life around.

I had already done a lot of of concussion rehab but that plus my perfectionist overachiever personality had pushed my nervous system too far. My symptoms were still severely limiting my life. Alyssa was amazing in meeting me where I was at and I've grown so much through my coaching with her. She has such a calm, inviting presence, even online it shines through. The vision drills have helped my eyes calm down and I'm even able to start driving some. We worked through some chronic pain in my foot to slowly build up to me being able to walk my son to school! Alyssa is a great listener and I find our sessions are so fun because we are uncovering another layer to work on! Her calm and gentle approach to vision and vestibular exercises is the perfect speed for my nervous system. Slowly, week by week we are expanding my world and I continue to learn more about myself. She is super professional and empathetic and a genuine wonderful human being.

She taught people how to make better food choices without breaking the bank and it works.

TONY IS AMAZING!…read more Here's my story: I contacted Transformations Fitness (which I found here on Yelp) for my 10-day stay in Honolulu in February, I didn't want to get out of shape just to get back into shape when I returned to California. I signed up for Tony's semi-private sessions which seem like private sessions (his sessions are at Kaka'ako Fitness which is shared with other trainers and patrons of the fitness center). For my first session, Tony definitely took it easy on me. He took me through the stretching routine that I did at the beginning of each session. The link to routine is sent to your email with a helpful youtube clip of the stretches. Also during this first session, Tony inquired about my goals and what I wanted to work on during my training session. During my sessions that followed, Tony helped me become stronger physically and mentally throughout the short time he trained me. Tony guided me through exercises that were familiar as well as new ones. I requested that he incorporated kettle bell exercises and he followed through with that request. I enjoyed my sessions with Tony and I would definitely come back when I am back in town. You could try talking yourself out of a rep, but Tony is great at what he does and is able to coach you through your limiting beliefs and assist you through your transformation process.
