Testimonials & Letters
I called Amy and was immediately impressed with how friendly and easy she was to talk to. I am a nurse and Amy told me that nurses did not take care of themselves because they are always taking care of other people. I laughed when she said that, but knew in my heart how right she was. I am 63 years old and I knew that I did not want to get injured lifting weights the wrong way. I guess I forgot to tell you that in the last club I joined I had lifted the weight wrong and developed tendonitis.
I made an appointment to meet with Amy and committed to begin working out with her. Amy and I have talked about the fact that you can’t put a price on your health. If you ask me if it is expensive to have a trainer, I would have to say that it is quite reasonable compared to what it would cost you to spend several days or months in a hospital being treated for high blood pressure or heart disease. I see this in many of the patients that are being treated in the hospital. This is a lot more fun and I’ve made a wonderful friend along the way. Her name is Amy and she is interested in my progression and is dedicated to making sure that I lift those weights the right way.
I don’t think I have had a day that I regretted making this decision to get healthier and stronger. This year I bought a stereo for my husband for Christmas. I was able to carry it across the mall and I was proud of that. I was the women who had trouble carrying her grocery bags into her house from the car. I still remember Amy telling me that it would take some time for me to get stronger and it is exciting to see that happening.
I hope if you are reading this letter that you will seriously commit to your health. You will be glad that you did.
Sincerely,

I have been training with Amy for a little over 3 months now, and she is great! Amy has helped me achieve results I believe are sustainable for the long term. Personal training is what she loves to do, and she's committed to a healthy lifestyle herself. I really don't think she would ask a client to do something if she wasn't willing to live it herself. She's personable. I actually enjoy chatting with her while I train. She's knowledgeable. Whether it's the exercise, the nutrition, or the physical piece, it's clear that Amy knows what she's talking about. I really appreciate Amy's flexibility when it comes to scheduling. She could not make it any easier to be accountable. I highly recommend Amy to anyone who wants to live a healthier lifestyle -- strength, overall fitness, better nutrition, weight loss, or some combination. You will be happy you chose her!

The question above asks me "What did you like about working with Amy" and it will only allow me to choose three items but I wish I could choose them all. She is nothing less than amazing. She customized everything for both my other half and I even though we were working out together at the same time. She helped me get ready for my surgeries and I could not have made it through without the work she did with me. She worked around any issues we had and always was always on time, very fun, energetic and witty during our sessions. I love her personality and will continue to work with her as long as I can.

Allow me to introduce myself…actually to re-introduce myself. When I first met you I was an entirely different person. I was afraid of what I would find. I had absolutely no idea that I’d find a new me. I was afraid you’d be judgmental because I was totally unathletic, perhaps you’d laugh because I was uncoordinated, or treat me roughly even though I was a beginner. I was afraid it would be painful, wouldn’t fit into my schedule, or that like so many times before I would let myself down and not make good on my commitment.
To my pleasant surprise you were kind, you were funny, and you were supportive. To my much greater surprise, I found that I loved it. I always thought I hated exercise! You pushed me just enough to get results. I found definition in muscles I had never seen before. And it was easy. Not the no sweat kind of easy, but it wasn’t grueling. It wasn’t painful either. It was enjoyable. I found myself looking forward to our session, and being bummed out if life got in the way and I had to cancel one.
I found myself eating better. I wanted to eat food that would enhance what we were working out in my body. And I do mean we. I realized within the first month, hat although I had always thought I could do it alone…always starting next Monday…or next month…I could not have done it alone. There is magic in knowing that you are doing every rep exactly right. Even when a certain set is hard you have confidence to keep going because you know you are doing it correctly. And I simply cannot state how helpful it is to have someone there who is friendly and helpful to talk you through the movement, count you thru the reps. Or just to chat with while you workout. My experience with Amy has been life changing and I will never change back! Maybe there’s a marathon in my future after all. Thank you Amy! You’re the Best!

I had dreamed for many years of someday having a personal trainer show me how to exercise properly for safe, effective results. I didn’t have a clue how to get started on a fitness regime. When I heard about Amy coming to my home, I thought that it might be just the thing I was looking for. I met with Amy, and found that she was very willing to work with me to help me reach my goals in a way that made me feel comfortable.
I’ll admit I was afraid before my first workout because I was a consummate weakling! But Amy made me feel great, instilled confidence in me, and inspired me to do my best. I’m not kidding; I actually looked forward to my workout sessions! It wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be, and I learned proper form and technique. Soon I was seeing muscles that I had never noticed before! I was so excited!
Amy’s sense of humor and thorough knowledge of fitness training make it a joy to come and work out, and I gained not only muscle tone, but a huge sense of accomplishment and confidence.
When I first started, a busy work schedule and family life had physically worn me down; I was literally sick, and the doctors couldn’t find anything medically wrong with me. Within two weeks of working out with Amy, and journaling my food, I no longer had any symptoms of illness. What is more important than your health? It has to come first so that you can be all that you want to in the other areas of your life. I believe you will not regret meeting with Amy! It has been a HUGE blessing in my life, and I recommend it to everyone that I know, no matter what their age or lifestyle.
