I'm a functional medicine health coach and nurse, so I really value a thoughtful, intentional approach--and that's what she delivers. She meets you where you're at, challenges you in all the right ways (don't let the super kind smile fool you!), and focuses on building strength that supports what you need in real life--not just burning calories. I especially appreciate her emphasis on controlled, full-range movement--perfect for someone like me whose top goal is to stay strong as I age and avoid injury. If you're looking for purpose in your training, not just checking the box of "working out"--Alina's the one.

I started training with Alina at the end of 2022. I was 50 years old, had never done any sport or…read morefitness in my life, was obese with several physical issues that I was afraid would stop me from being able to exercise. I had also decided that I needed to change my lifestyle if I want to have any chance of being healthy and mobile for the next 20-30 years, and finding a personal trainer was at the top of my list. I did not feel confident just going to the gym and trying to figure stuff out on my own. Alina is an awesome trainer. She completely understood where I was coming from, what my goals and fears were and was able to suggest adaptation to exercises and some new equipment that I had never even heard about. She is an educated, knowledgeable and experienced trainer and an awesome person all around. I really appreciated that she was able to explain what we were doing and why, short term and long term. I was impressed by how well she was able to judge my abilities (she was better at it than me!) and how attentive she was during our training. I could relax and exercise without any anxiety. I have to say that it was really impressive how she was able to give me just the right amount and type of encouragement and support I needed. All of these things led me to enjoy my gym time even more. It's been over a year now, and my results are great! I am so much stronger and capable now, with better stamina, and have more self confidence. I am seeing some body recomposition happening and I couldn't be happier. My mental health has improved a lot and now going to the gym is the highlight of my week. I'm pretty sure I gained a friend in Alina, along with all those other things, which is beyond awesome. I was incredibly lucky to have found Alina when I had. I'm very sorry to see her leave this area, but I am confident that she gave me a solid foundation for my fitness journey, and that I will be able to continue to build on it throughout the years. I wish her all the best in the new chapter of her life.

My first session today truly exceeded any expectations. Brett picked up immediately on what the…read morelong term effects were on an accident I had in 2010. She noted one shoulder was up two inches and not as far back. We warmed up the muscles with light weights for my biceps then went on to my triceps. With a resistance band we increased the blood flow to the muscles further. "Hug the noodle, squeeze it between your scapulae." she said while I was lying on a foam noodle. It is hard to describe the sensation of squeezing a muscle that has not been used in over seven years. I'd done to the third best trauma center in the country, tried three physical therapists, and three personal trainers at a big box gym, I had never been offered this exercise. I will come back and update my review after a few months or years of training here. UPDATE: After thirty sessions I added a star. Britt ha consistently modified each exercise we approach better than any therapist I have worked with. I did the math. LA Fitness offers bulk training that cost MORE than here. I just learned that Britt is going to Alaska soon to train trainers; she is a master trainer which is not a big surprise. Seriously knowledgeable and funny.

I have been working out and using the nutrition coaching at ZenRock Fitness since December 2016…read more During that time I have dropped nearly 30 pounds, increased strength and improved my overall fitness and outlook on life. I am a lifelong athlete. I've been around the block with various coaching and fitness/nutrition routines. I know what's safe, what works and what expertise looks like. ZenRock is aces in all these areas! I first met with Petra who assessed my needs and goals. She placed me with Nova for fitness coaching and referred me to Britt for nutrition coaching. They are both incredible and a perfect match for my needs. I went through an initial fitness and goal setting assessment with Nova and the work began. She is an INCREDIBLE motivator and keeps me working hard in our sessions. Every workout is different and I look forward to our sessions each week. Don't skip the nutrition! This is a major part of overall fitness. Britt is AMAZING! She knows how to keep me going and I've learned so much through this whole process. I would highly recommend both if you are ready to take control of your health and wellness. ZenRock facility is a pretty wonderful place to workout. The atmosphere is great. The facility is clean and the equipment is well maintained and top notch. I've had an opportunity to watch other clients and trainers work together and can easily recommend ZenRock as a place to start or continue on your health journey.

Admittedly I've always been a bit weary when it came to doing yoga at gyms, often with good reason…read more Renee shook that weariness away real quick! She has a unique ability to teach an all levels class and challenge everyone from beginner to advanced. I am hooked for sure. Every Tuesday I'm at the gym with my Yoga Mat ready to twist, breathe, bend, and thrive through a fun but, challenging class. I would recommend her to any yoga student new or seasoned. Perhaps the best part of Renee's class is her attitude and personality, she takes the time to get to know and talk to her students which allows her to make each student feel comfortable and able to relax and truly benefit fully for the hour on the mat. Thanks Renee!

She trains entire corporations of people and keeps them in harmony not only just in the class but gives them tools to use in their day-to-day life. I highly recommend her courses and her classes. The first time I ever went to Hot Yoga was with her and I was hooked. Life changing experience!

I'm so excited about the changes in my body and honestly seeing Arika each week is a true highlight.

I've learned more in three sessions with Yael than I did in over 30 sessions at the other facility!

I got to meet some pretty impressive names and watch how Tim utilized the small facility to bring out every athlete's fullest potential.

I have been taking my teenage son here for about a year. Everyone who works here is nice, but I…read morehave witnessed too many times where the trainers are more involved with looking at their cell phones than they are being actively engaged in the training lesson for my son. Their prices are hefty, so I expect them to be attentive. Unfortunately that is not what you get. It doesn't seem to phase them that there are parents who come/go. They just continue to look at their phones. Unfortunately, that's not what I'm paying for. After this session, we will go elsewhere (unless they will commit to putting the phones away). Lastly, I would like them to know that I am aware of other clients who have left for this reason. I was recently having a discussion with a group of parents and this topic came up. Seems like a dumb reason to lose business.

What a change from hobbling around, barely able to walk, her Freshman year two years ago. The miracle I experienced, after getting a surgery recommendation from my Orthopedic Dr. And physical therapist, is 100% due to the superb MAT (muscle activation technique) treatment given to me by Jenny which she combined with a personalized Pilates plan. Jenny is a licensed MAT specialist in addition to her Pilates credentials. I wanted to give MAT a try before committing to surgery. After several months of hard work, I started to heal. She is amazingly talented and thanks to Jenny, I'm now able to exercise regularly. Without a doubt, I totally recommend you try MAT if you have a chronic problem and combine it with a customized Pilates workout created by Jenny. I'm forever grateful.

Excellent Pilates Instructor - Studio in Redmond…read more Jenny Miller is probably one of the very best Pilates instructors in the area. She is caring, patient but never loses her focus. She helped me a lot to gain awareness of my body and find resources (or ranges of motion) that i did not know i had. After about 10 sessions, i realize that my sitting and standing postures are much better. I dont slouch any more and it does not take much effort at all. I also see how i am now using deep core abdominal muscles in everything i do, whether exercising or just getting out of bed. This gives me a lot more stability, less strain on the back and legs and also improved balance. Her studio is located in her home in Redmond (north side, near Avondale). It is very well equipped and very private. This is the perfect setting for private lessons. The equipment is very good and recent. The price is $60 per session (one hour). There are 2 promotional offers: Initiation, a "package" of 3 sessions for $90, and a "package" of 10 sessions for $550.
