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.

It is such a delight to work with Marjan! She is so positive and focused in her workouts. Whenever I ask if she can do one more rep, she always answers "I can try!" I love seeing her enthusiasm whenever we discuss her goals. And we have wonderful conversations about our shared interests in cooking and travel. I always look forward to our sessions!

I started working with CT after he had experienced the life-changing benefits of consistent exercise. He wanted to start practicing yoga 1X week to help improve his mobility and flexibility. After a few months the changes in range of motion, posture and alignment were evident. He said in hindsight he'd wished that he'd started his fitness journey with yoga. He kindly recommended that his daughter start training with us (the best compliment is a referral!). I am very grateful for the opportunity to work with them!

It is an absolute pleasure to work with Amy! She loves pushing herself to the point where it feels like "an earthquake is going off" in her body. I am delighted about her progress over the past four months. Her chronic pain levels have reduced while her strength and confidence have increased significantly. She radiates kindness and positivity, and I always look forward to our sessions.

I love training with Carol and look forward to every session with her. She switched from in-studio to virtual training and immediately connected with the brilliance of our method. She enjoys the inclusion of yoga poses in our strength training format, and we work together to bring her to the "magic moment" of muscle success, a.k.a. muscle failure, in her customized workout plan.
