Natalie has changed my life! I never thought about getting a personal trainer and was pretty comfortable working out alone. I'd lost a lot of weight independently but I knew I wanted to challenge myself even further by going to a gym. After giving one session a try, I was hooked. Natalie's been my trainer for almost a year and she's helped get me into the best shape of my life.
What I love about her approach is that she always listens to your goals and then creates a program around your abilities. I wasn't sure about strength training but I knew I wanted to go for workouts that made me stronger. She encouraged me to give heavy lifting a shot by starting with the basics and it's been a life-changing experience ever since. She explains everything she's doing before you get started which really helps me understand the proper form for each movement and how it's working my body. I love that because it connects me to what I'm doing rather than just following by example. Natalie always puts my safety and health first which made me feel confident that she would never push me beyond what was unrealistic or unsafe and that she is genuinely invested in my training. That said, she always keeps me on my toes and I leave each workout feeling accomplished. I've never felt like I've plateaued and she makes it a point to check in on your progress to see where your program can be tweaked.
After almost a year of strength training, I've actually gained more muscle and started seeing definition all across my back, my arms, and even my legs, which were the biggest 'problem' area I wanted to work on when I first signed up with Natalie. I'm beyond ecstatic with the results!
Natalie is a true professional, super knowledgeable in her field, and such a pleasure to be around. She's serious about the work and keeps you in line, but she manages to do that and keep it fun at the same time. If you're on the fence about trying a trainer or if you're looking for someone to help keep you motivated and reach new fitness goals, please give Natalie a shot. She's an absolute gem and I promise you won't be disappointed! read more
