Client Testimonials

“I have been working with Alex for almost a year and have made incredible progress with both my body and more importantly my mind. I have learned that beyond the movement involved in exercise, the mind can either be one’s obstacle or partner in crime. Alex operates as a trainer, but for me he has proved to be more of a coach, teaching me skills that improve my behaviors so I can live a better life. I’m down on pounds, up on muscle, quit drinking and smoking, changed my outlook on who I am and what I can do…and I still have more work to do. But I’m further ahead than I ever thought I would be because Alex has been there, and continues to be there to support me along my journey. I highly recommend Alex to anyone seeking a human approach to fitness. He really can help you find your way when you are ready to learn and put in the time. If you are doubting whether or not you are worth the time spent on figuring out how to make changes, you are, and Alex will be there by your side. I will always be grateful to Alex for all the time he has invested in me. Definitely a talented trainer!”

“I came to Liz recovering from a major shoulder surgery. I had never been super athletic and gyms intimidated me. Years ago, I had met a PT at a gym who trained me too hard to start off and I ended up hurt and sore for a week afterwards. I thought that was how it was supposed to be. But Liz takes a different strategy. Instead, she focuses on long-term results and really makes sure that I'm enjoying the process, not sore, and seeing results. I have really seen a huge spike in my confidence at the gym, continuing to meet and exceed goals, and become my strongest self yet. But the true testament to how much I've changed with Liz's help is that my teenage daughter asked to train with her as well. She trusted the results, she trusted the process, and she, too, is seeing some great strength gains. Liz takes time to individualize each person's program based on their goals, ability, and effort. She makes sure form is the foundation to good training, and takes her time to make sure I don't get hurt. I look forward to our days at the gym each week, which is a 180 degree change from a year ago.”

“Liz is a great trainer. She has helped me regain my health and confidence. Her experience with working one step at a time has worked with me. I am in my sixties and was obese and had the worst of daily habits. Liz taught me to not only attend my training classes but to follow through with my daily routine, one step at a time. I continue to get better and the approach Liz takes with me is not hard at all. Just consistent.”

Bernie K
“Liz is the kindest and most patient trainer I have come across. Working with her helped me through the “diet culture” mentality to live a healthy lifestyle without restrictions. Anytime I felt I was having a bad day or falling off the wagon, she was always around the corner to remind me that it’s okay if we feel like we aren’t doing well! We get up and keep trying! She is genuinely invested in your goals. I would recommend her over and over again!”

If you’re looking for a personable, committed, and competent personal trainer, this is the gym for you. Liz has helped me build the confidence I need to get back into strength training after having recovered from a previous injury. She pays incredible attention to form and modifies workouts based on how your body is feeling that day. -Katie M
