We both remember the first day we … [Read more...]

You are an amazing coach! I first came to you approximately 9 years ago and was a size 8 and didn’t think I had that much to lose, yet not comfortable in my own skin. You started me with circuit training due to my busy lifestyle and work schedule. I was able to get in and out of the gym in an hour with a total workout. This made it easier to go more often and achieve my goals quicker. With … [Read more...]

Because they do not address the underlying issue of our NOT-wellbeing: dangerous non-attention to our overall health!

It was not possible to alleviate all the pain as I found out I have a bone spur. I will have surgery … [Read more...]
