I have been meeting with Claudia for personal training, once a week, for almost three years. I…read moreneeded to get back to strength training on a regular basis but I had concerns about past injuries (knee, back) so I wanted some expert help. Claudia takes such good care of me! She made sure that I didn't overdo things in the beginning, and now she challenges me to push my limits (while still making sure that I am not straining anything). When I started with Claudia, I didn't have a plan for how long I would continue. Now I plan to continue indefinitely. She is constantly improving my form and giving me new exercises. She helps keep me accountable. Claudia is knowledgeable, attentive, supportive, reliable, creative, cheerful, and a key part of my effort to stay in decent shape. I can't imagine a better trainer.

I felt like I had it with part-timers who had recently gotten into the business without a a comprehensive view on how to advise their clients on what it means to be fit and healthy nor a full understanding of what it takes to be successful in a heavy client service industry. Claudia is amazing - she's exceeded all my expectations as a professional trainer and I've happily recommend her to friends/colleagues. I'm definitely stronger and feel my workout is exponentially more well rounded after working with her.

I began my fitness journey with Arina in July 2022 after a major surgery and from the very start,…read moreshe provided me with immense support and direction during my recovery. She even consulted with my medical team to make sure I was doing the proper rehabilitation, while also helping me build back my strength. I always felt secure in my training with her. Training twice weekly with Arina has been an absolute joy, as she not only knows the ins and outs of fitness but also got to know me personally and my fitness aspirations to tailor my program. I am proud to say that I have seen a tremendous improvement in my physical fitness and confidence since I started working with Arina.

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Arina. She has made such a positive impact on my…read morefitness journey. I started working with her a little over a year ago after a few-year hiatus from much activity/working out and was a little nervous to get back into it. She is so understanding and patient with her clients and I always feel completely safe but still challenged in my workouts with her. Personal training is an investment but has been completely worth it for me!

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.

Ashley is amazing. I worked with her throughout my pregnancy over 6 years ago and then we…read morereconnected a year ago and she returned at a much needed time in my life. She is so knowledgeable and works WITH you to develop a plan that fits your needs and lifestyle all while checking in daily. 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.

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.

Kristi has been such a steady, positive presence in my life. 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.

It felt like one morning I woke up and had blown up overnight. A ~50lb weight gain snuck up on me,…read moreand I was suddenly unrecognizable to myself. Physically, I was uncomfortable and unhealthy, but the mental toll of going from a normal weight most of my life to being obese was worse. It totally destroyed my confidence and I had to do something. So I found Daphne. Daphne appealed to me because she had been there herself. We were roughly the same starting weight. Truthfully, powerlifting didn't particularly interest me. It wasn't even really about health. I just wanted to not be fat. When we first met, Daphne thoroughly went over nutrition and outlined an exercise plan. She was empathetic and encouraging but set realistic expectations. I was impressed with how knowledgeable Daphne was and excited to get started. After my first session with Daphne, I threw up. I had never worked out like that in my life and immediately wanted to quit. But I told myself, ok, try one more week. One week turned into another and then another, and I still wanted to quit, but it's not like I had anything else going for me, so I kept at it. Slowly, it started to get easier (but never easy). Daphne kept challenging me and I got stronger. I enjoyed my time in the gym, not because I liked exercising really, but because I liked seeing the changes in my body and working with Daphne. She treated me like a friend. The benefits weren't just physical, though, but mental too. The number of times Daphne would tell me to try something, and I'd say, "I can't", and then I tried and could do it are too many to count. I was regaining some sense of control in my life, showing myself I was stronger than I thought, and fixing whatever led me to obesity in the first place. One of the best pieces of advice Daphne gave me was that the effort you put into the gym is exactly what you get out of it. She's given me other great advice too, but you have to pay for that yourself ;) Daphne is an excellent trainer, while I am a difficult client. She deals with my moods and knows when to push me and when to take it easier. Daphne gets to know you as a client and adapts sessions to what works best. It's not a copy/paste one-size-fits-all type of training. And she makes it fun, too. I've tried things I never thought I would, like picking up a huge stone. I've learned to love the ab wheel. I'm no longer intimidated by gym equipment. But I still hate pushups and always will. We've worked together for a few years now, but I didn't always listen to her nutrition advice. Over the first year or so, I experienced a body recomposition and felt healthier and more confident. I think I had to do that first to be able to get serious about my diet. So at the beginning of this year, I cleaned up my diet. Now I've lost almost 40lbs, which I couldn't have done without Daphne. When I first started seeing Daphne, I was a size 14/16/XL and am now usually an 8/10/M. While I'm almost at my initial goal, my goals have also evolved thanks to Daphne. What sets her apart and makes her such a fantastic trainer is that she sees things in you that you don't see yourself. So while the number on the scale is always going to matter to me, it's not the only thing that matters anymore. Now I have goals like being able to do a pull-up, strengthening my back, toning my arms, and maybe one day having abs. This hasn't been easy, and it's taken a long time, but it also took time to gain so much weight. If you find yourself in the same position I was and need to make a change, I can't recommend Daphne enough.

I've been going to Daphne for about three years now. I first started out going to her just for…read morepersonal training on trying to lose weight. Then it transitioned into just motivating myself to be active a couple times a week, and then it turned into me wanting to compete in a strongman competition and hard-core training while on a pretty strict calorie deficit. Daphne was supportive in every phase of my fitness journey. She was with me during my first competition, and her insight was so valuable and she kept me calm. So no matter what your goals are Daphne will be there and help you through them! As a strongwoman, she has a lot of fun and different workouts and exercises to try to. So if you're someone who gets bored with conventional exercises constantly, you should definitely try Daphne! And she's just a great person to talk to.

Kelly made me feel so comfortable from the beginning. She listens to my concerns and pays very close attention to my body when training me. Often times we pause shortly in the middle of the session for her to release muscle pain so I can properly lift weights. She not only understands the importance of body movement but how our emotions and spirit play a huge role in our well being. I can't imagine ever working with another trainer. Highly recommend her.

When I came to Alex for coaching last summer, I was a metabolic train wreck. Seriously. I had…read morerun myself into the ground dieting and training for my first NPC competition. And on top of that, I was in denial about my myriad of health problems. I was hell-bent on competing on the National stage immediately, regardless of my health issues. A few weeks into our competition programming, I was coming apart at the seams. With my health and my life unraveling, Alex helped me see the light and shift my focus away from aesthetics and back toward getting my health under control. Alex is the complete package in a Health Coach. She is level headed and calm (something I need as a super high-strung person) while amazingly constructive, motivating and inspiring. Her focus is always on the big picture of HEALTH. She thoroughly evaluates her clients to determine what they need most, and creates a realistic, functional plan around that. Her integrative coaching method is what makes her outstanding: she coaches around mindset, nutrition and training. That triple threat approach makes big life changes stick. She has encouraged me to reevaluate my goals in order to appropriately prioritize health. She keeps me honest when I to lie to myself about what's working and what isn't. She keeps me sane when negative self-talk seems all consuming. And most importantly, she keeps me healthy, so I can continue to live my life and enjoy every moment! After 6 months of coaching with Alex, I'm almost ready to step on stage again. She has taught me to be patient with progress, how to listen to and learn from my body, and how to be proactive (as opposed to reactive) about managing my health. She has fused my health and aesthetic goals into one holistic training plan. Whatever your goals, if you need a coach, Alex is your girl! If you want to see what she's about before you start a program, check out her podcasts on the BodyIO FM channel. Look for the HERBODY podcasts. You'll hear first hand just how knowledgeable and experienced she is! LOVE LOVE LOVE this coach!

I lost 60 lb in 9 months! AND regained my health…read more After spending about 10 years losing a little over 100 lb, but not being able to get the last 60 off, I finally found Alex. This sweet, smart, and energetic lady brought to me an understanding of health and fitness that I had not encountered before. The last 60 lbs came off in 9 months, and in that time, I also was able to rid myself of arthritis, thyroid, and depression medications. Alex listened to my concerns and helped me design a nutrition and movement program that was just right for me. She does not have a cookie cutter approach, but modifies as necessary to help each client achieve their specific goals for their unique self. Further, she places great importance on overall health, not just a number on a scale. I found myself spending far less time in the gym than ever before, but doing very targeted and USEFUL work there. This was valuable to me as a PhD research scientist for a large company, because my spare time is limited. Additionally, we were able to use foods that I enjoyed and that fit my lifestyle to achieve my nutrition goals. Being able to eat foods that provide a psychological benefit to me, and well as a nutrient and fat burning benefit was a big game changer. My personal experience with Alex was as a "fat girl". Really - fat! But I know that she has had much success working with other types of individuals as well - athletes, body builders, and figure competitors, to name a few. This variety of people who have had success working with her is a true testament to her skills. I've continued to work with Alex over the last two years on a modified consulting basis. She has coached me on how to keep the weight off, and it has been effortless. Seek her out. Talk with her. Hear her plan for you. You will not be disappointed.
