One last testimonial to share from my final week at TPW. Suzanne's mindfulness-focused workouts have provided a wonderful opportunity to integrate my dance and yoga background into a somatic strength training approach. As a dance mom of two adult daughters she spent countless hours observing ballet classes so we can easily dialogue using dance terminology. Suzanne's health and fitness journey has advanced significantly since we started working together in August last year. A big part of that has been her ability to feel safe in her workouts and also seeing herself as a fitness-oriented individual. I am so excited for her continued progress and I'm grateful for the ability to develop my own style of holistic training through working with her.

This week I notified my clients that I am transitioning out of my role at The Perfect Workout. I have been blessed with a wonderful opportunity to begin my own business venture and continue my Master's research in somatic dance education. I am very grateful for the opportunity to evolve through my training skills with such wonderful clients like Jennifer, who is an advanced slow motion strength training practitioner. I've also been able to apply and expand upon what I've learned through my four years of practicing what I call the "Tai Chi" approach to strength training. It's an honor to work with such amazing human beings, and I have learned so much from this experience.

It is amazing to watch Diane's progress over the past six months. We've worked together to modify her workout so that none of the exercises aggravate her pre-existing injuries. This week we advanced her workout in terms of pre-fatigue efforts and she still crushed it! At 83 years old she carries her own firewood to heat her home. I love the determination and effort she brings to every workout. We also laugh a lot (she has a great sense of humor).

I've had the pleasure of working with Jane for the past six weeks, and it's wonderful to see how she is already noticing the rewards of consistent strength training. One of her initial goals was to be able to get up and down off the floor more easily. She noticed significant improvement in just a handful of sessions! I love seeing her face light up as she shares her "wins" with me. 💖

Active listening is one of the skills I use to ensure that my client's workout is perfect for them. When checking in about the exercise intensity, I'll encourage them to aim for a level that is effective in that moment. I'll gently remind them that our bodies have different needs on any given day, and dialogue with them about the responses their body is communicating with them. For some people, this is their first opportunity to develop the mind-muscle connection. I so appreciate the opportunity to have these kinds of conversations.

A lot of my work involves helping people learn how to listen to their bodies. Understanding the difference between the types of pain signals and how to work effectively with them (how hard to push and when to pull back) is a skill that many people have never had an opportunity to cultivate before. I strive to build a foundation of trust as we collaborate on how to give their bodies the right level of stimulus in every exercise. I also learn something new every week! Bob has been sharing his physical therapy exercise regimen with me, which I've been adapting to our brilliant Slow Motion Strength Training method.

I am really enjoying training with Suzanne and observing her progress. We've been working together to fine tune and enhance her series of exercises, while delivering the right amount of stimulus. I love seeing how she's thriving from her workouts, and I've often said that personal training is a lot like gardening. It's a pleasure to watch my clients "bloom" after their workouts.

Larry is one of my former yoga clients who contacted me earlier this year about virtual training. I invited him to attend a breathing workshop series that I led this spring so that he could try our brilliant slow motion method. I explained how we use yoga poses in a mindful approach (essentially it's somatics disguised as strength training). Larry has COPD, so a breath-focused strength training approach is key for his health. We've worked together a few times and he's making significant improvement!

One of the things that I love about my job is how it involves collaborating while helping our clients navigate injuries through our versatile method. Lynne's former primary trainer asked me sub for her occasionally, which gave me a chance to familiarize myself with her customized set of exercises. Since inheriting Lynne as a client, she and I have successfully created a 2.0 version of her workout. It really is "perfect" in how we are able to tailor each exercise to meet every client's specific needs.

June is a rockstar client who I absolutely love working with. As a TPW veteran, she has an embodied understanding of the brilliance of our science-backed method. Her consistency and commitment to her training shows in her continuous strength gains. It's a pleasure to find ways to "make things hard" for her and we laugh a lot in the process 💪

One of the coolest parts of my job is how we use a data-informed approach to designing our workouts. I recently started working with Suzanne and I'm loving the process of taking her workouts to the next level. We work together to find new, healthy levels of challenge in each of her established exercises. I'm really excited to see how she will continue to progress.

I've had the pleasure of working consistently with Diane for the past couple of months, and I am always so impressed by her determination. She fights so hard to beat her previous times every week, and it inspires me to find new, creative and safe ways to challenge her effectively. She recently asked to switch from training 1X a week to 2X a week with me. I'm really looking forward to taking her training to the next level.
