WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY...   

"When I started working with a trainer, I really did not expect the results I
got. I just wanted to build my upper body strength so I would not get old
muscles faster than my age! Not only has my upper strength improved but
after 3 months time I had lost 2 clothes sizes and have "dents" in my waist
now where it used to be straight. I guess they call that a little curve.

I also had rotator cuff surgery a year in a half ago and was planning to get
my other shoulder done as well because of the annoying pain. I no longer
have pain in my arm that did not have surgery and I think my other arm has
improved as well since I can wash the car and scrub my floor without being
in pain for the rest of the day!! Not that I like doing those things.

Now that I have worked out with Kristi for almost 7 full months, I have lost
another size in clothes and have lost 9#. She is motivational and makes me
feel good. My plan was to go twice a week for 3 months and then drop to once a week and do the rest on my own. But I feel like I need her moral support to get me through the week. She feels like a daughter to me and I love listening to her say "Oh shut up" when I tell her a hard to believe story.

I am thinking about getting some training to be a personal trainer because she inspires me. I don't want to do her job but maybe the knowledge and skills I gain can help me with my job as a diabetes educator and I can help people with their basic exercise plans or contemplating exercise plans!!!
She is the best (and only) trainer I have had. But I work with 5 trainers on
my job and none compare to her. It would be hard to find someone to fill her shoes so I hope she stays in business. I am trying hard to recruit new
people since I truly believe in her skills and passion for fitness.

Thank you Kristi for your belief in me and encouragement to keep going even though sometimes I could not walk very well afterwards. You do a great job and are in a perfect profession for your personality. See you soon."

"Kristi has changed my life.  I have been working out with her for just
over 2 years now and I have gone from being a couch potato to having
definite tone.  She keeps me motivated to work out on a regular basis,
which I have never been able to manage for extended periods of time
before in my life.  Kristi genuinely cares for each of her clients and
tailors a program that fits their specific needs.  She frequently comes
up with unique ways to help me (and others) make the extra effort
necessary to reach my goals and she always appreciates the effort.  Her
knowledge regarding training and dedication to her profession are
phenomenal.  She practices what she preaches and is a great role model."

"Kristi provides great training services.  She motivates me to reach my personal best & encourages me to get to the next level.  I play sports regularly & the training we do compliments my cardio workout.  Kristi can be a drill sergeant when warranted, or a sympathetic sister when I struggle. I enjoy our training sessions, tremendously."

~Ginger, Chandler

"Kristi has been training me for almost five months. At our first session she listened to my goals and has stayed focused on them with a different workout for each of the three days of every week that I workout with her. She is personable and encouraging as well as motivating.  I look forward to our sessions because I know it will be a great workout and I will get results. I have worked out with trainers off and on for several years, with out a doubt she has been the best at helping me accomplish my goals.  I am almost 40 and had begun to think firmness and definition were things I could no longer expect.  I also had daily neck and shoulder and back pain from fatigue and weak posture. That is no longer a factor.  I feel better about my body and in a bathing suit then I have since high school!   Because of my results, my husband has started having Kristi train him.  He, too, is very happy with his results and feels challenged every time he does a workout with her!  We both think she is a knowledgeable and fantastic trainer!"

"Kristi is a trainer that gives more then 100%.  She stays very actively involved with my fitness goals and what I'm doing to achieve them, not only with her at the gym but also outside in the "real life."  She continues to keep me motivated even when I want to give up and can come up with 100 excuses why I should.  I've worked out in the past with little to no results, but working with Kristi is different because she is showing me how to find out what works for MY BODY. Love her!!!"

"I started working with Kristi in February 2004. I am a middle aged over-weight and out of shape. I had never before exercised regularly. She has really helped me. She is encouraging without being mean. I have lost at least one dress size and a few pounds. She has tailored a work-out to my needs as I have an artificial knee and back issues. I have really enjoyed my time with her. I am feeling better, sleeping better, and getting around better since I started with Kristi."

"I feel a lot stronger, and I'm just now starting to feel leaner too. It's been fun to actually "feel" results. Previously I'd really only been doing cardio and it seems that since I've added Kristi's program, I've been seeing results a lot faster now that I'm doing weights along with the cardio.

I see definition in my arms, I'm starting to feel results in the thigh area as well. That's the part of my body I've always tried to hide. They've always been loose, the lunges and squats Kristi has me do are starting to tighten that area.

I feel like I've learned a lot from Kristi. I had basically no knowledge of how to train with weights previously. (as a woman) I was worried that I would bulk up. Kristi's explanations of how the training works and effects my body, helps out the metabolism, and why it WON'T bulk me up, have been clear and proven true. After a few weeks, I am also feeling more confident about my form and training correctly when I work out on my own. Kristi is
always checking to see if the weight we're using is appropriate, and she always knows when to add or subtract weight as needed. I feel like I learn something new every week with her sessions.

I haven't had a lot of other experience with personal training. I'd gone to a guy once at a local gym years ago, I left the place so sore I couldn't lift my arms to the steering wheel to drive home, OR move for 3 days after. Not to mention the fact that they tried to do such a "hard sell" on me and make me commit to a lot right then and there. That had turned me off I think. With Kristi's program, sure I felt a little sore, but in a good way. Made me feel like I was really doing something, and I'm never miserable the next day. I'm sure it depends on the trainer, but for me personally, I like training with a woman (Kristi). I just feel like she can relate to the female body and the areas that I'm trying to work on. Plus, I don't feel any "hard sell pressure" from her. She's very flexible. I plan to continue my sessions."

I began going to Kristi after some health problems, and I could not work out, for nearly a year previously. Kristi was very in touch with my personal and physical needs and limits, and started me out slow, as much as I could handle. After 20 sessions, I was stronger, and felt 100x better than the first time I went to her. I was able to feel comfortable working out by myself, and have continued to do so.  I highly recommend her to anyone who would like help in getting in better shape!

"You are not only a great trainer but so sweet!"            ~Lisa, Scottsdale

"Well, we're 3 months into our career of creating a better me.  Thus far I've gone down a pants size, though there hasn't been an appreciable weight loss.  But I look much trimmer, feel great, and know that I'm much stronger.

During our recent trip, which involved a great deal of climbing and walking on uneven surfaces, I was especially grateful for the work we've been doing on balance.

Over the past several years I have sporadically worked with a personal trainer.  None have had Kristi's depth of knowledge about body and muscle functions, nor have they had the ability to vary the routine enough to keep me from becoming bored and quitting.

Would I recommend Kristi?  As they say in Minnesota, you betcha!"

                                   ~Joan, Scottsdale

"Well, I have found that I feel stronger after about 4 weeks of training.  One of my goals was to build core strength to help out my golf game.  I have noticed an increase in my swing speed and I find that I am more flexible. Both very important for a good golf game...

I definitely have more energy since we started training, and I am impressed
by Kristi's focus and knowledge in both the weight training and in the
nutrition aspect.  Kristi is also a very good matchmaker.  ;) "
