Dawn Sumerford is an inspirational person and that helps her motivate me to do my best in whatever I'm doing. Especially during these times of physical separation, or whatever you want to call it, she uses technology to always keep that personal connection with every workout. But her workouts are more than physical. She always looks at me as "the whole person". She is insightful and inquisitive and figures out what might be holding me back. Through her thoughtful, humanistic approach, she addresses the mind, body and soul and helps keep me doing my best...whatever that may be. I find myself leaning into her suggestions and coaching in many areas of my life, not just physical exercise! I'm so grateful I get to WMB ("Work My Body") with Dawn! read more

WorkingYourBody - Dawn is so good at being inspirational even with physical separation! - Trainers Near Me

Dawn is the best!! She has just the right amount of motivation to get me going, and I feel I'm getting stronger every time we work out. But beyond working out with me, she goes above and beyond and texts me on her own time to see how I'm feeling, how am I eating, or how am I working out on my own. I feel like she's my own personal "you can do it" cheerleader. She truly cares about my well being and wants me to lead a long and happy and healthy life. read more

Dawn was great. I don't do regular workouts but do move my body daily. She was very in tune to my needs, especially some areas of soreness and pain that I needed to avoid. It's always nice when someone cares about you and your goals. I would highly recommend the personalized attention Dawn provides to help you be healthy and meet your needs to be in shape. She even works on balance and mental abilities having you count by 5s, 4s, and more while working out. It is an extra challenge that is great as we begin to get older. I did this workout on Zoom and still felt like it was very personalized. Oh, and I broke a very good sweat with mostly strength training and a little cardio. read more

As a result of a back injury suffered about 2.5 years ago at a dance class, my daughter developed several continuing physical conditions, including a pain syndrome, joint problems and autonomic nervous symptom problems. These problems caused her to stop dancing and greatly impeded her everyday life. We had been to many doctors around the country. Though none of them had many answers, they all agreed that she needed to start working out and get stronger. The problem was that she is 12 years old, angry at losing so much, not convinced that anything would help, and often feels too ill to do to much. She had been doing Physical Therapy, but the one person who was really making a difference, became ill herself and embroiled in some personal issues. I really wanted to find a Personal Trainer to come to our house and work with my daughter on a different level than just Physical Therapy. I also wanted someone to come to our house so that if my daughter didn't feel well, she wouldn't have to leave the house and in order to have at least some type of work out. I spent a lot of time trying to find the right personal trainer. I contacted at least a dozen Personal Trainers and interviewed several of them. I wanted someone with a great deal of experience (including rehab experience), who was willing to read up on my daughter's medical issues so that she work with her in an appropriate manner, who could really relate to a 12 year old girl, who my daughter would really look up to, and who would be fun. With Dawn I got all that and more. From the get go, Dawn read the articles and summaries I provided her with regarding my daughter's issues and made sure that I was comfortable with her approach. She has also been more than willing to consult with the different physical therapists and health care providers that are involved in my daughter's care. She has been incredibly easy to work with. Though my daughter continues to have many health challenges, she is much stronger and has improved greatly in some areas. She looks up to Dawn, is excited about working out with her and knows that Dawn really cares about her - not just as a client, but as a wonderful little girl who has suffered a great deal. Dawn is constantly touching base and checking in with both me and my daughter to see how things are going. We are on a 3x per week schedule and intend to continue that and hopefully up the sessions from 30 minutes each to 45. I can't say enough about Dawn and highly recommend her to anyone who wants to work with a very knowledgeable, dedicated and caring Personal Trainer who gets results. I am very grateful to Dawn and we are lucky to have found her. read more

I, too, like my husband, have been working out with Dawn for the past 2 years or so. She has encouraged me to do "stuff" I never would have thought I could do. She refuses to let me use the word "can't" so I figure out how to accomplish what she asks of me. I have taken Pilates for many years and Dawn does a good job of including my Pilates strengths in our workout. She is definitely a 5 Star. She is both a friend and a terrific personal trainer. Call her!! Mary A. read more

Both my wife and I have worked out with Dawn for the past 2 years or so. In a word, she's terrific! Her enthusiasm is contagious, and she makes the workout fun. She brings a creative touch to the sessions, constantly bringing in new exercises to keep things interesting. I am delighted with the progress I've made since we started -- I've lost weight (my pants actually fit now!), I have more energy, I eat healthier, and I just plain feel better. Dawn is a great motivator -- pushing me to do the best I can. I appreciate the way she tailors our sessions to my particular needs. Want to get more distance from your golf swing?? No problem ... we'll do some of these exercises. Want to lose weight?? She's got something for that. How about more endurance?? She can "fix" that, as well. If you're serious about getting into better shape, I recommend her. She has one goal --- to help you live a healthier life. read more
