I'm a return customer with a 7-year gap in between. Walking into StudioFlex always feels like coming home. Kyle and Katie have worked hard to make this a welcoming, inclusive, and nonjudgmental space. They both genuinely care about the entirety of how someone is doing - physical/ mental, work/ school, and everyday life in between. My goals and training plan have been tailored to me, and it's allowed to change as we go along. I'm one of those people who used to joke: "If you see me running, there must be a bear chasing me!" I'm not naturally active, and I never thought I say this, but going to the gym can be fun! I enjoy my sessions so much that I don't notice how quickly the hour passes. I leave feeling happy, confident, and strong. I like the exercises with the available equipment - plenty of challenge and variety, given that StudioFlex is a small private gym. I get to track my progress with each exercise, which keeps my motivation up and helps me remember what to do on my own. I trust both Kyle and Katie and they take that seriously. There's a place for you here, so come join us! read more

I found StudioFlex via Yelp and was thrilled that I did. I recently checked it out and had an assessment by one of the owners, Kyle Gee. The facility is fantastic - very clean, state of the art equipment and a good variety of it. There is a small parking lot that makes it very convenient and easy. Besides the awesome facility, I have to give a huge shout out to Kyle. His intake and assessment was really thorough - he asked a lot of excellent questions to ensure that he had all the information needed as a trainer, but also to ensure that my needs/goals would be met. Kyle inspired confidence and truly showed he cared about my health journey. You would be in great hands at StudioFlex should you check it out - which you should! read more

I am so lucky to have found StudioFlex! I currently work with Kyle who knows exactly how to motivate and push me to reach my goals. In just a month I have seen and felt the improves. My work consists of me doing some heavy lifting that has gotten harder to do. Kyle came up with a schedule for me that has made lift my 85-pound instrument easy again. I'm feeling the best I have felt in a long time! Thank you, Kyle! read more

Studio Flex has been a godsend for me. I was at an all-time low (in other words, an all time high weight), and I'd had it with promising myself that I'd exercise. I needed more accountability and so I sought out a personal trainer. I had read some excellent reviews of a local small gym called Studio Flex and decided I would invest some money and time into jump starting my exercise regime. I'm sure glad I did as Studio Flex is the exact type of gym I was looking for. it's very private (usually my trainer and I are the only ones in the gym), so I don't feel self conscious. and the trainers I have worked with are so knowledgeable, encouraging, and sweet, particularly Katie, who is one of the owners. Kyle, also an owner, is super positive and friendly as well. Katie always checks in with me, cares about not just my physical state but my mental state as well, helps answer fitness and nutrition questions, and helps to keep me accountable to my goals. Most of all, she pushes me to do my best even when I'm having a tough or tiring day. I have found myself to be fitting in my clothes better, feeling stronger, and getting less winded when I walk in the four short months I have been coming. I highly recommend this small, independently owned business. read more

I was looking for a place to help me with nutrition and chose this place based on yelp reviews and how close it is to where I live. I left a message through website and Kyle contacted me back next day. I explained that I'm primarily looking for help on nutrition and he explained that most of the trainers are qualified to help me with that. Then I was set up with an appointment to judge how I am with basic movements. During that meeting, I talked to Kyle how I need help with what to eat, how much to eat etc. He mentioned that they help me with tracking macros, meal plan and they also have online only option as well. I chose to go with 4 in person sessions to help me decide what I need long term. I had all my four sessions with Katie. She helped me with movements on few machines. As I hadn't worked with machines much, that was something new I learnt and was helpful. At the end of first session, I reminded Katie that Kyle had said that you guys can help me with my meals. She asked me to track all my meals and send them over. I texted them to her after my second session. In my third session, she mentioned few things like 2 servings of fruit per day, increase protein powder etc but nothing about tracking macros or planning meals as Kyle had said or even what to eat as I had asked for help on earlier. Overall, I feel like I spent 300 bucks and I have nothing to show for it. In hindsight, I shouldn't have bought four sessions in advance (money that's never coming back :/ ). I was looking for somebody to do meal planning/decision making for me so that I only have to focus on executing it. I have learnt nothing as far as nutrition is concerned. read more

This place is a real find, and Kyle Gee is a star. This gym is clean, private, and has easy parking. But the training is what is really special. Kyle is attentive to form and knows how to progress someone safely. He is the type of trainer that I could recommend to a serious fitness person, or to help my parents (or even grandparents) safely improve their strength and balance. He knows how to modify exercises and adjust based on the person in front of him. He is constantly positive and encouraging. He uses evidenced based motivation strategies that ensure you give your best effort and leave the gym with positive vibes. He is easy to communicate with and clear with expectations, billing, scheduling, etc. A true professional. Kyle has been my trainer throughout my time at StudioFlex but the other trainers in the gym have always been kind and professional in my interactions with them as well. Highly recommend! read more

I can't say enough good things about training with Kyle at StudioFlex. My husband and I signed up last August for partner training with Kyle, and we do all our sessions together. To say this is ideal for us would be an understatement! We get one-on-one sessions with Kyle in a private environment, and he customizes our program to our goals, deftly working around any conditions we might have. It's been an incredibly fun thing for us to do together. We find that we're so energized by our sessions, and Kyle is SO fun to be around, that we really look forward to our workouts. For my husband, it's been more motivating than anything he's ever done at home or at a traditional gym. And while I'm able to motivate to work out at home, the results I'm getting from training on top-notch equipment under Kyle's expertise is something I'd never, ever get from digital classes. If you're on the fence, honestly, go for it! read more

I've been working with Dorian at StudioFlex for the last 9 months, and the difference he has made in my fitness journey is incredible. He's patient, kind, and always keeps me motivated while still challenging me during every session. He takes the time to review my progress and personalizes the sessions for my specific goals. I am way stronger than I've ever been and feel amazing thanks to him. Dorian is incredibly knowledgeable and by far the best personal trainer I've had, and I highly recommend him to anyone. read more

I am one of those people who have struggled to get to the gym over the years...tried out personal training, but never really found a fit. Then, two years ago I started training at StudioFlex. My high value workouts are for 30 minutes (which I love). What can I personally accomplish with 30-minute workouts? Real results that have surpassed my expectations...and more importantly, my wife's expectations. I currently train with two incredible trainers at StudioFlex...Kyle and Al. They are amazing human beings with incredible knowledge and experience in physical training. I am stronger than I have ever been in my adult life. My back used to go out often...I can't remember the last time my back went out. If you are looking for a great personal facility with extraordinary trainers (that includes Katie) checkout StudioFlex! read more

I have been training with Kyle for the past 6 months and have seen a major change in my body. I knew my way around the gym and weights, but felt that I was plateauing. Kyle was able to to push me past my limit and increase my muscle growth. He has introduce me to all different types of exercises that I would have not known how to do. He has shown me the correct form and I can say that I am confident at the gym doing more advance exercises, such as deadlifts. Thanks Kyle ! Also, the studio is very clean and has great equipment! read more

I starting going to StudioFlex a little over a year ago. I started working with Antonio and transitioned to Kyle Gee once Antonio left. I have been impressed with the professionalism, quality of the instruction and quality of the equipment. Kyle and The other owner Katie run a great facility. The workout is always challenging and custom fitted to my needs that session. The price per session is very reasonable for the Walnut Creek area. I'm getting the same or better personal fitness session that I would in SF without paying SF prices. If you are looking for a personal trainer, all of the trainers there are excellent to work with. read more

The best for phenomenal training that makes you feel supported through every step (even when you're not at the gym). I work weekly with Kyle and he creates an amazing atmosphere of support and approachability. Every training session is curated so specifically to your needs and made to be so much fun! He also has experience with his own physical transformation that truly brings a different level of understanding for anyone with similar goals. Beautiful people doing beautiful work read more

I have been training with Katie for 2 years now and she's the best! I have a crazy work schedule so my appointment times are always changing week to week, and she works to make sure I get each of my sessions in. Katie has always been super encouraging and works with any back, knee, or other pain I have each session, while still making sure I get a great workout in. I love that's a private gym, making it much less intimidating when starting out, since that was a big hurdle for me when I started my fitness journey. I have learned so much and love all of the exercises I have learned to do properly! I always leave feeling strong and exhausted, the perfect combo! Highly recommend! read more

I began training with Kyle early last year and all I have to say is: pure praise. Kyle provides the fast paced intensity that I need to evolve to the next level, with the patience and support to meet me where I am during a particular day, workout, and set. If you truly want to achieve a stronger level of physical health, unpack any setbacks that have slowing you down from reaching your goals, learn how to train more efficiently, sleep and feel better, contact Kyle because he will streamline the process in a way that is empowering, fun, and individualized. I actually look forward to training with him! In the past, I have had mixed feelings about starting and maintaining a meal plan and workout routine, resulting in massive yo-yo experience that was hard on my body and mind, but working with Kyle really helps me when I'm feeling a decline in motivation. I feel fortunate to work with such an athlete, and I have no doubt that anyone else who works with him or his team will experience positive results. read more

I highly recommend personal training sessions with Katie at StudioFlex! I always wanted to work one-on-one with a personal trainer to learn proper form and also to build more muscle mass, so I decided to give StudioFlex a try. From the beginning, Katie exceeded my expectations. We started off with a consultation and during each session she taught me new exercises and made working out enjoyable. Katie was not only a knowledgable and super friendly personal trainer, she also pushed me new heights in my fitness journey. Also, everyone at StudioFlex was very welcoming and the space was always clean too! read more

Kyle and Katie put the word "personal" in Personal Trainer. They are both professional, knowledgeable, and encouraging. The space is beautiful, clean, and super well-equipped. The vibe is fun and friendly-prepare to sweat! read more

I've been training with Kyle for five months now, and holy crap my body has changed a lot in a very short period of time. When I first met Kyle I explained that I'm an avid cyclist and I've had a history of injury. I wasn't looking to bulk up. My main goals in hiring a personal trainer were building strength/flexibility and avoiding injury/promoting recovery. I herniated a disc in my back in my mid-twenties (in a really dumb accident) and I've had problems trying to incorporate regular training because I was always tweaking something or straight up throwing out my back. Kyle maintained eye-contact through the entire conversation and explained he had a history of back issues himself and he understood and sympathized with my experiences and would be sure to help me focus on good form and building up certain muscle groups such as my core in order to compensate for and stabilize my back and that we'd eventually get to strengthen the back itself. This was key. I knew Kyle heard me and I felt safe. It's not to say our training has been completely without incident. I did pull a groin muscle. That was a first! I was hobbling around like a one legged pirate for a bit. But that brings us to another aspect of Kyle's skillset. He is a healer. He wants to know if you're injured or just feeling tight in an area because he doesn't want you to train on an injury and make it worse. He has an endless bucket of tricks to help work out knots, catches, strains, etc. Have you ever rolled out your bicep tendon using a barbell? Holy hell! Or, if you need to, he will tell you to just take it easy, knock it off and take a damn break every once in a while. Kyle and I have really hit our stride over the last month or so. I have a bike race I'm training for which is really giving me a goal to work towards. I've learned and accepted I have to cut back on my drinking some and eat better so I can get the most out of my workouts. And it's worth it to me because I have so much damn fun working out with Kyle when I feel good and at my best. I've dropped weight, my cycling is stronger, I'm recovering from long rides faster, and frankly I'm looking a lot better without a shirt on than I have in a long time. And it's all thanks to Kyle. read more

I've been working with Katie for a month, and she's AMAZING! She pushes me without making me feel like I'm overdoing it, and she's always optimistic and encouraging. I already feel like I'm starting to see changes in my body even in a short amount of time. I've met two of the other trainers, and they're also super friendly and welcoming. Sessions are very reasonably priced, and the studio is super clean and well-maintained. Overall, I've had a really wonderful experience with Katie and Studio Flex in general! read more

I've been to several trainers in the Bay Area and Kyle Gee is the real deal! Hands down the most dedicated and skilled trainer I've ever been to. In just a couple of short weeks, with Kyle's advice and training, I've dropped 2% Bodyfat and over 10 lbs.! This has been by far the best decision of 2017 I've made and with Kyle's help intend to continue the healthy trend and reach my best body ever! And I have to mention how state-of-the-art and clean the StudioFlex gym is too! Want a new you? Change the physical for the better and all other areas of your life will be improved. I highly recommend this place and the great people that work here (Kyle and Katie). They're dedicated to your success! Happy New You in 2017! read more

I cannot say enough good things about this place. Katie and Kyle are knowledgeable about fitness and also happen to be two of the nicest people you'll ever meet. Their studio is well-maintained, and being there makes you want to push yourself into your highest gear. I would recommend coming here for personal training if you are the type of person who either 1) has trouble getting yourself to work out (I found that having a scheduled time to work out made me less likely to flake) or 2) would like instruction on what exercises to do, proper technique, etc. I love the variety in my workouts. Every day is something different, and that kept things from getting stale. I also love supporting a small, local business over a big chain. read more

I went to one of the boot camp classes on a Sunday (1/3/2016) and I thought it was awesome! It was challenging but Kyle was so positive and motivating that it made it enjoyable as well. Kyle also does a great job of giving alternative moves for each exercise, which was very nice for me. He was very knowledgeable and thorough with his explanations for each exercise. Both Kyle and Katie are very professional and I would highly recommend! read more

The short version: Excellent. I'd recommend Studio Flex to anyone who wants efficient work outs. The long version: The facilities are excellent. Because it's personal training, and one on one, I've never had to wait to perform an exercise. I've met a couple of the trainers in passing, and they have always been friendly. I train with Katie, who has been fantastic. She's always positive, even when I'm not, and has been a great motivator. She always brings great energy and seems genuinely pleased to see you. Working out with Katie for a half hour, 3 times a week, coupled with a reasonable diet has produced results beyond my expectations. I'm extremely happy I found Studio Flex, and plan on training there for the foreseeable future. read more

I started personal training with Kyle about 6 months ago and I could not be happier with StudioFlex! Every single person who works there is kind, professional, and extremely motivating. From the moment you walk into the studio, you know you are somewhere truly special. There is no one size fits all here since each trainer seems specially trained to tailor their workouts for every single client. Katie and Kyle are exactly what fun professional trainers should be. These guys put a ton of work into the facility every day and it most certainly shows. I highly recommend signing up for their bulk sessions if you really want the chance to finally meet your fitness goals. read more

Some people are gym people, and will workout hard on their own regularly. I am not one of those people. I love having an appointment with Katie who encourages me to work toward MY goals, not anyone else's idea of what they should be. It's not cheap, but I can't put a price on my physical fitness, and it's totally worth every penny to feel good, strong, flexible and pain free. I highly recommend StudioFlex to anyone at any fitness level. read more

Studio Flex is a private fitness studio with no membership fees that creates a personalized environment to pursue your fitness goals. Kyle and Katie have the best equipment and the best training program in this area. They prepare their clients for success! Kyle has the best weight-management program with his individual meal plans tailored to you. Kyle and Katie are about positive lifestyle change, encouragement and seeing their clients achieve their goals. Studio Flex is unbeatable! Studio Flex offers more than personal training. They have what I believe to be hands down the most powerful and challenging "Training Club Classes" Don't be fooled by other gyms and their boot camps and classes that are "one size fits all" Studio Flex has tailored each class so that you feel like you are working one-on-one with the instructor. They offer boot camp on Sundays, butt and abs class on Wednesday, classes that are "Pay What You Want" and a series called ATS (Athletic Training Series). Class sizes are limited so you truly receive the attention needed to succeed and not get lost in the crowd. Kyle and Katie are always adding more classes to the schedule. Kyle Gee, co-owner of Studio Flex, has worked in the area's clubs for the past three years and has trained athletes for the past seven years. He created Studio Flex in order to fill a need he has seen in fitness services provided to residents in the east bay and surrounding areas. Studio Flex is located at 1610 Oak Park Blvd. in Pleasant Hill. The studio is easy to get in and out of with a nearly dedicated parking lot. If you are like me and get frustrated trying to find a parking spot at the corporate box gyms, you will love the ease of parking and only walking a few steps before your inside. Studio Flex is co-owned by Kyle Gee and Katie Dawson and I am truly their biggest fan! I love what you two have created and the both of you make me feel as if I am the most important person when I am there. I wish you both the best in business and life, and much success as your studio grows. Chad Steinmetz www.Anotherbite.us read more

Hands down, one of the best studios that I've visited in the Bay Area. I was very impressed with the quality of the trainers, the intensity of the workouts, and the overall workout environment. I played Division I athletics at St. Mary's College and would recommend the Studio Flex trainers and classes to the highest level of athletes. read more

I have been training with Kyle for the last couple of months. When I was looking around everything seemed intimidating cause I am not the normal "gym guy" and have my own insecurities working out at a local gym. I chose to do the personal training Kyle twice a week. Best part is it's 1:1 coaching and support. I have his undivided attention, and of course the weights and machines we need to use are available. I enjoy being challenged and pushed and those were things Kyle asked me how I wanted to be coached when I started. I feel great when I leave, proud of my progress and at this point I've doubled my strength since I have started, and my form has gotten better and has eliminated the back-pain that I was feeling from "trying" to work out on my own. Highly recommend!! read more

I have been training with Kyle and Studioflex for the past 4 months and I continue to sign up for more sessions because the experience has been terrific. The facilities are private and spacious and Kyle is continually bringing in new training equipment that bring new fun exercises into scope. Kyle is a perfect coach who combines deep technical knowledge of muscles, creative new exercises and continuous enthusiasm to each session. read more

The personal trainers at Studio Flex, offer trainings sessions that are above and beyond any training I have had elsewhere. They utilize every minute of your session time, there is no waiting to use any of the equipment (which is in excellent condition), and they are focused and care about your success. I have been working out with Kyle, for a little more than a year and have lost 50lbs in that time. When I started, I could barely walk up and down stairs without pain. Additionally, during 2015, I had sciatica and a knee injury, which made walking painful. I never missed a training session, and am pleased that the pain has dramatically reduced. The studio's training club classes have the same focus and intensity as their personal training sessions, with the fun of working out with others. Class size is limited, so they are able to give participants individual attention as needed. Studio Flex is for everyone, all ages and all levels of fitness. If you want to achieve success in your weight loss and/or fitness goals, come to StudioFlex. read more

I cannot say enough great things about Katie! Prior to StudioFlex, I was in a bit of a low place, unhealthy, and did not feel any motivation to exercise. Katie was incredibly encouraging and full of positive energy. Our sessions consisted of talking and laughter while she simultaneously kicking my butt. I can honestly say I've gained more confidence, energy, strength, and am in such a better place after training with her and am so grateful I had the opportunity to work with her. I highly recommend StudioFlex and especially Katie for personal training read more

Studio Flex is AWESOME! I am normally a yogi but have been wanting a more complete workout and Studio Flex was exactly what I was looking for. Katie's abs and butts class focused on all the areas I have been wanting to tone. Literally kicks your butt! Kyle and Katie are both extremely knowledgable and friendly. They are very positive down to earth people who made me feel welcome. I got a package and can't wait to see how I look and feel when it's over! read more

I have trained with Katie for the past 10 weeks and I couldn't be happier with my results! I highly recommend Studio Flex to everyone. I've struggled with working out my whole life and Katie showed me what works for me and how to get the results I've always wanted. I always look forward to my workouts here and enjoy the pleasant atmosphere of the gym. Katie is an excellent trainer and motivator and I couldn't be more thankful for our sessions together. read more

What a great place The group of trainers here are amazing They have boot camp classes that are both fun and one heck of a workout Katie and Kyle are amazing they are both such motivators and make you wanna come back. This place has so much to offer to all don't mind as out on getting your body and mind fit. Come and get your workout on ! read more

After researching different trainers in the area I decided to try Kyle and Studio Flex, and I'm so glad I did! Kyle is everything you want in a trainer-great motivator, good energy, good communicator, extremely knowledgeable and the sessions were very well-paced. I trained with him for about two months and will be going back for more sessions to make sure I'm still on track with my fitness goals. Oh yeah and he's an awesome guy, thanks Kyle! read more

I'm very grateful for my trainer Kyle. I'm 57 years old and Kyle is helping me achieve my goals. My body body fat percent decreased from 31% to 21% in a short period of time. Kyle continues to educate me on my health and fitness. He is a pleasure to work with and is highly motivating. The facility at StudioFlex is clean, modern, and has up to date equipment. I have worked with many trainers, Kyle's knowledge by far, is superior than any others I've worked with. I highly recommend Kyle and StudioFlex. read more

These guys are the real deal when it comes to personal training. I started training with Kyle 3 or 4 months ago. I came in never having any kind of formal training in a weight room and spending years trying to get into get shape just by running dozens of miles a week or swimming hundreds of meters at a time. Eventually I wanted more strength and muscle and just wasn't getting very far on my own at [insert generic gym]. I had thought about buying personal training sessions from them, but was never really motivated by what I saw there. I found the website for StudioFlex and thought it was an interesting business model and wanted to see more for myself. Three months later and I am in better shape than I have ever been in my life. I can bench, squat and lift more weight than I have ever done. I didn't think it was genetically possible for me to get the kind of lean, athletic physique I have now. I can't wait to see what's possible over the rest of the year. I have long been a do-it-yourselfer. I pick up articles and books about weight training and dieting along the way. I had thought I could figure this out on my own. Motivation was not a big problem as I didn't really have a problem getting up at the crack of dawn every morning to hit the gym. But - having a fun, motivated and knowledgeable trainer encouraging you to do things you haven't tried and push through that extra 2 or 3 reps makes a huge difference. Even if you are a regular gym rat, you are likely to feel the difference after a session with these guys. I walked out on that first day knowing and feeling that I had done more that day than I had in the past week on my own. The trainers are StudioFlex are all fun, energetic, and highly invested in what they do and what they can do for you. They are not going to just go through the motions with you. You can get out from your training with them as much as you put in. read more

I have been working out twice a week at StudioFlex since May and in that time I've lost 15lbs and gained strength and mobility. This was most noticeable recently when I participated in a cycling tour and averaged 3mph faster than I had at a similar event earlier in the year. Kyle has been great to work with, motivated and encouraging, he brings a lot of knowledge and a positive attitude to every workout. I've had training at the big box gyms where the "trainers" who just finished the corporate instructional video and spend half the time looking at the clock checking out who's who in the gym and are just biding time between careers. This is nothing like that. If you're considering investing in yourself StudioFlex has the supportive one on one attention without the crowd. Definitely recommend giving them a call. read more

StudioFlex - Trainers Near Me - Pleasant Hill, California

A little about me before I start, I'd say my relationship with food and exercise in the past has been extremely unhealthy. Overeating/under eating, relying on strict diets that I would ultimately fail at over time because maintaining the same thing over and over never worked, toxic relationships with food, and a toxic relationship with excercise. I've fluctuated from healthy to unhealthy so many times I've lost track. Every time I did lose my way from my health goals I would always come back to Studioflex. I've worked with a few different trainers there and each time I'd always hit my goals and took something valuable out of it. But I'd always seem to go down my same toxic cycle. Get healthy, stay healthy for a few months to enjoy my new health and physique, then go right back to overeating and being lazy. I've been back at Studioflex for a little over a month now working with Kyle and all I can say is what a dramatic difference I've seen in my lifestyle. Kyle has been such an invaluable teacher in changing my relationship with not only exercise but also with food! Helping me notice that my relationship with health has been toxic and that I can change it be fixing my patterns and behaviors and giving me the tools necessary in order to change them. Helping me with nutrition and looking at exercise as something that I no longer need to dread doing. Just by changing up my routines! That I can eat cleanly and not sacrifice a social life or not to solely depend on running all the time to lose weight. That there are different cardio or exercise tools that I can enjoy and still get the results I want! Our workouts have been great and I feel Kyle really knows exactly what you need to succeed on your health journey. I can proudly say that already in the short time I've been back, I'm already almost 20 pounds lighter! That's just by doing some lifestyle changes that are so simple yet so effective that Kyle taught me. And I can whole heartedly say that if you're nervous or apprehensive about starting this journey just know Kyle will immediately put your mind at ease. He'll listen to you without judgment and take care of you. I've never worked with someone so positive before! He's not only a wonder for your physical health but will also be a tremendous help with your mental health as well! You won't be sorry coming here and I promise that if you're looking to change your toxic habits with your eating and fitness this is the place that'll help you make the change of a lifetime! Thank you Kyle, see you at our next work out! read more

Katie is an exceptional personal trainer, i highly reccomend her to anyone looking for a trainer in the East Bay. She is professional, respectful of time (never cancelled or rescheduled), i have had some trainers in the past where this was an issue for me. As a beginner, she always made me feel comfortable but helped me to challenge myself. She is supportive, responded to all my silly questions, always available via text or call. Since working with her, i have gained body strength which has always been an issue for me. A concern i had was that they dont open on Saturdays, but she was able to make it work with my schedule by having early morning sessions .I'm moving to Boston and i hope i find someone as good as her!! read more

When I was in my 20s, I could skip a couple meals, run a few miles and drop weight like nothing. Now that I'm in my mid-30s, it is A LOT more work. Life stresses took a toll and often wine won over working out to cope. OK, let's be real - wine always won over working out! Well, seven months ago I was the heaviest, most unhealthy version of myself... and I hated it. It took feeling that bad for me to make the decision to invest in my health and change my habits, and that first step was contacting Katie at Studio Flex. Best decision ever!! Katie has been a HUGE part of my fitness journey and I am so grateful to be able to work with her. I've learned so much and always look forward to my training sessions with her. I appreciate how she always mixes things up to keep the workouts interesting and her nice way of encouraging me to push harder. My workouts with Katie have also helped me build confidence to feel comfortable working out with friends, and I can honestly say I now crave working out instead of dreading it! As a quick glimpse into the progress I've made with Katie - At my consultation in June 2016, I was 33.2% body fat and in the "obese" category. Yikes! Fast forward to today (Jan 2017) and I am now the healthiest and strongest I've ever been; down 7.9% body fat at 25.3% (only 1% away from the 'fitness' category) and comfortably fitting in all of my clothes again. All thanks to Katie for motivating me and inspiring me every week! read more
