Over the course of my life, I've had multiple personal trainers that I have retained for their professional services. I must say, without reservation, that Charlene Ciardiello , is by far the most competent and most successful trainer that I have ever had the pleasure of working with. It's not about Charlene's professional manner or programs , but it's her very much candid and shut up and move attitude. Training and achieving your own personal goals are not incumbent on a trainer, but on your own personal motivation, psychologically, Charlene, grants, both, the training and personal motivation. That's what makes her exceptional, I would unequivocally recommend Charlene for your own personal training goals, she is a winner!!! read more

I have been working out with CC for a few years now. I have stuck with her as I have trained with others in the past. She is disciplined, keeps me accountable not only for working out, but also keeping me motivated to stay on track. She works "one-on-one" daily, and I can't encourage anyone enough who needs that special attention. read more

Great virtual workout. Provided great feedback for each exercise, letting me know if my form needed to be adjusted for maximum benefit. Good workout!! read more

I'm so happy that I found a trainer who inspires and motivates me. CC knows what I need and keeps me interested. I always look forward to our next training session. read more

CC is amazing. Unlike most trainers who want to push their agenda on you or their idea of what you SHOULD be doing, CC actually listens to your goals and designs your program around that. I have very specific goals around gaining strength so I can be a better aerial dancer and I have noticed a huge difference in my strength since I've started training with CC. I can suddenly do all these moves that I couldn't earlier, and for the first time in my life I don't have to say "I have crap upper body strength". A side effect of doing this is weightloss. While I do need to lose weight that's not my primary goal, but I am definitely happy to see that number on the scale go down since starting to work with CC. Thanks a lot, CC! read more

If you want a California beach body, CC is your woman! She is great at reshaping your body to a hourglass figure that's lean without losing your curves. During our short time this winter she helped me lose 2 pants sizes along my weight loss journey. It impressed me that she would drive to me and had the ability to pivot on the spot if needed. She is incredibly flexible with business travel schedules that are varied. In addition, CC strengthened my balance and addressed areas that needed correction. read more

I started training with CC about 2 months ago. I am very happy with my results. My friends have noticed a change too! She is easy to work with, and created individualized workout for me. I would highly recommend her if you're looking to get in shape or wanting to take your fitness level to the next stage. read more

I finally swallowed my pride and decided to get a personal trainer. CC was recommended by a friend and training with her has been the best thing I've done for myself in a while. My primary goal was to correct muscle imbalances and strengthen my core and only after a few weeks I can already feel and see the difference. I've see trainers at the gym all of the time going the same routine with all of their clients. CC on the other hand put together a routine focused on my body type and weaknesses. Every workout with her is different. When I work out alone, she's given me enough exercises and routines to keep me occupied. read more

I started training with CC to firm up and prepare for an upcoming snowboarding season. She really focused on core and endurance and I had one of the best riding seasons ever. On many days when my friends where fatigued and ready to return to the lodge, I was still eager to hit run after run until closing time. And off the slopes I have more energy than ever. It feels great to go for a long run or walk up a flight of stairs and not feel winded. She has you work hard, but with a very motivating style that makes each session fun and enjoyable. She looks at your the overall health picture and will give very valuable advice on diet and exercise on non training days. I very highly recommend training with CC. read more

Ironically, I found CC through YELP. I was looking for a down to earth, energetic, positive, not boring trainer & that's exactly what I got! Her introductory program is great so you can get a feel of how she trains and if it's the right fit for you. I was hooked so signed up for a 4mth SUPER SEXY program. I train 3-4xs a week & every single class is loaded with new & more challenging workouts. Definitely well thought out and catered to what I need. My boyfriend is noticing my whole body toning & I feel great inside and out. I never used to cook or prep meals. Now I spend Sunday's prepping healthy meals to take to work and make healthy nutritional meals for dinner. CC gives great ideas and always checks up on your progress during the week so you stay on track. She genuinely CARES... one of a kind! She makes you want to train harder & eat healthier. Looking forward to the summer and my new healthy fit lifestyle... thanks to CC 100% recommend her as a trainer. You won't regret it!!! xoxo read more

As an avid gym goer, I usually always have a trainer to keep me motivated. CC is by far the best trainer I have had. She always comes prepared with a new workout tailored for me, she sends me reminders about my nutrition and checks up on me during the week, and knows she how to get results. I highly recommend her! read more

I've been training with CC for almost a year and she is easily the best personal trainer/ training system that I have ever used. She is super supportive and makes sure that she gets the best results out of you through her one on one customized workouts. A lot of trainers just write you a one off plan but with CC every workout is slightly different. I have more than double my strength and people have commented on the change in my body shape. I highly recommend her to anyone who is serious about getting lean, toned and in shape. Oh yeah and shes a damn nice person too read more

CC is an amazing trainer! Her years of experience and her fun and outgoing personality make for a great trainer and motivator. She puts me thru rigorous workout routines twice weekly. in the time I have been working with her I have gone from a size 4 to a 0 and gained upper body strength! Weekly we discuss my goals and review how far I've come! Her prices are extremely reasonable and her professionalism is next to none! read more

I could not recommend CeCe more! I began training with her after the birth of my daughter. After 3 months of bed rest and a C-section, my body was in desperate need of work. She was patient, thoughtful and extremely professional. Initially, I was very embarrassed at how out of shape I had become but Cece helped focus on the positive and promised I would bounce back. Boy, did she deliver! I lost several inches around my mid-section, shed 8% of my body fat, and am almost back in to my pre-pregnancy jeans. I got major results after 12 sessions and couldn't be happier. She works with you to tailor a workout for your body and includes nutritional coaching to the program. Her upbeat, can-do attitude rubs off on you and I always leave our sessions feeling extremely motivated to keep up the good work! read more

-I have been working out with CC for over a year now , and I have not only gained more overall strength .. More importantly I have learned more about the value of strengthening my core and the value of having a dedicated program that suites my needs. We have worked a lot on flexibility and that Is something CC noticed that was paramount to my specific program and having CC there to help me "shut and move ," ---is great !!!., if you are looking for someone who will hold you accountable -- CC will be that person , but as I have learned -- it s all how hard you want to work .. And she will move at your pace! And she is very reasonable with her prices! read more

I can't say enough about CC and her work. She gets results and I look forward to starting the day with her.

I found CC through yelp and started training with her for about 2 months now. I was excited to have found a female trainer with flexible hours and reasonable pricing that did not require a gym membership. So far I've lost 14 pounds, improved my balance and have gotten a lot stronger. She's thought me that by following the program I will get results (no need for any crazy diets). There is no easy way around it. You need to be committed to yourself. Her positive attitude is contagious and I'm always feeling like a million bucks by the end of my session. Every session is different and its exciting to learn something new. As a working mother of 2 I struggled with making time to work out. She encouraged me to get my children involved at home whether it was meal prepping or going for a jog around the block. I am confident to say that by the time my sessions are over I should have the ability to keep the weight off. I couldn't have done this without her. Thank you CC for your time and commitment towards my goals!!!!! read more

I started training with Cici about a year ago in her boot camp and just started one on one, Cici is light, exuberant and no nonesense. She is just the person to get you moving. No bullshit, no drama. If you want results and you want to be inspired this is your girl. I am not the kind of person to fall for trendy shit like "yoga booty ballet" or the "bar method" I danced classical ballet for 20 years you want a ballet body take a ballet class but if you want to be as fit and as strong as you can be without all the ballet injuries call Cici read more

I have been working with CC for about 12 weeks and have seen amazing results in that short time! I am not only 20+ lbs lighter, I have more energy and finally feel I have control over my eating. CC is passionate about your health and it shows thru her energy and enthusiasm she brings to every session. She not only makes every work out challenging, she is genuinely concerned about my personal physical limitations and how to get t he best work out in spite of them. She also places a high value on my diet and nutrition, taking to consideration my busy lifestyle. She has coached me on not only eating right, but how to shop to make it easy for me to eat right. I am looking forward to more weight loss, incredible energy, better balance and flexibilty and some great new muscles in the coming months! With CC's help and guidance, I am confident I can obtain my goals. read more

CeCe changed my life. I struggled with my weight ever since puberty hit me hard at the the vulnerable age of 13. 2 years ago I met CeCe when she was a trainer at my local gym. The day I met her, I instinctively knew she would be able to get me to that point of feeling sexy and confident in my body. Her realness, fortitude, words of wisdom and knowledge of human anatomy, are just a few of her qualities. Not only did she train me for a10k, she helped me lose weight and feel AMAZING and CONFIDENT. She is also a great listener... and was truly like my therapist on some days. I trained with CeCe 3-5x / wk. Thus, when you see someone that often, they will see every type of mood you're in. She has seen me angry, cry, laugh, be silly and extremely exhausted. No matter where I am mentally, she always knows how to respond, motivate me, and push me to a level I never thought possible. I appreciate everything she has done for me. The day I left California, was a very sad day for me. Like I said, CeCe changed my life and I will forever appreciate her with all my soul. She wasn't just a trainer for me, but a friend and confidant. Tears are definitely falling from my face at this moment. Well, to conclude this long review I just want to say thank you to CeCe for truly caring and loving your job. I am now going to "Shut up and move! read more

CC is the best trainer out there. I have been working with her for almost 2 years and she has definitely changed my body, my outlook on personal training and my attitude towards food. She makes me push myself every session and I look forward to our time together. She does her best to work around my busy schedule and she is reasonably priced. You must give CC a try if you are looking to make changes in your life and you want a supportive personal trainer who doesn't have an ego or is only in it for the money & glam. read more

I started training with Cece a few weeks back and things are already starting to pay off. She is a great trainer and we are already making progress toward my goals. Her program focusing on both fitness, strength and weight loss is 2nd to none. She also has a great personality and is fun to work with, which is very important when I'm dreading a morning session or trying to quit when the going is getting tough ha ha. She also gives very good advice on diet and exercise and I have no hesitation in recommending her to others especially for people like me who have been out of the gym for too long and working to get back in shape. read more
