Testimonial

Amber says:

“Kris is the best trainer I have ever had as he really knows how my 50 year old body works and how to maximize a workout even if I have injuries.  On any given day there is one part of my body that hurts. Today my hamstrings were really tight and my shoulders sore from tennis.  I was dreading working out.  But amazingly, after my training session I felt loose and relaxed. Instead of compounding my stiffness with a strenuous workout, Kris achieved just the opposite.  I feel great.  Better than a massage! Thanks Kris!”

Testimonial

Vanessa says:

“I have worked out with Annabelle weekly for over a year.  She is everything a person could want in a personal trainer – upbeat, patient, creative and adaptable.  She takes the job seriously and always comes prepared to our sessions with a personalized plan for the hour.  She keeps our weekly sessions interesting by alternating the exercises to include kickboxing, boot camp, Kinesis, TRX, and even going outside if the weather is nice.  She knows just how far to push me, without being overly aggressive.  My sessions with Annabelle strike a perfect balance between aerobic and anaerobic, and she is very diligent in making sure to work my entire body week-after-week.  Over the last year, I have lost 10lbs with no other change in my lifestyle except my weekly workouts with Annabelle.  Finally, I would be remiss if I didn’t add how much I appreciate her flexibility around scheduling and adjusting the plan when I’m not feeling up to a rigorous workout.”
