The Short Review:

Emily is a kind, personal, and compassionate trainer. I've been with her over 1.5 years. Even now, my friends, and family KEEP remarking on my changes (after losing 50 pounds, 20 with Emily) because they can see the progress I've made in my life: both physical and mental. Most importantly, I am so much happier and Emily, helped me find that.

She has aided me in:
-Nutrition
-Fitness
-Stress Relief
-Pain Reduction
-Support & Accountability
-Finding extra apps, meal services, book recommendations, etc
. . . and any and ALL kinds of questions!!!

*The small gym she trains in is great. It's only ever just her and her husband, which makes the training that much more personal.

The Longer Version:

A few years ago I put on about forty pounds, until at one point I knew I just had to do something about it. I did the whole cleansing thing, popular diet thing, nicer gym thing, but while they all helped me make small changes (and shed 30 pounds), I finally hit a plateau. At that point I wanted to find a trainer who was also a nutritionist and it was incredibly difficult to find someone who did both!!! Luckily, I found Emily here on Yelp! and she proved to be just what I was looking for.

She really filled in the holes with my diet. While I had been eating many good things, I wasn't making my metabolism work for me. And honestly, I just wasn't eating enough! There was so much more to it, but Emily was able to help guide me in several ways: balanced meals, meal prep, a food service, etc Not only that, but she helped me transfer over to a Paleo diet and a more organic/ holistic household. This wasn't a quick transition, nor did she push it on me. However, she was there to answer any of my 100+ questions about it! *With a smile

Finally, she's an awesome trainer. I've always worked out and enjoyed lifting weights, but Emily really goes at my pace. I suffer from fatigue and on days when I simply don't have the energy, she knows not to push me. On the other hand, on days I can do harder workouts, I can leave the gym feeling pretty proud of myself. She also incorporates a lot of different exercises like yoga, and things I've wanted to try, like barre and kettle bell. I imagine it's different based on her different clients needs though. After quite a bit of time with her now, I feel more confident in my abilities and this translates to my day to day life, which is what my family and friends remark on (not just my physical changes).

Now I have a better balance in my nutrition and a stronger body. I've lost 50 pounds overall and I'm working towards longer term goals (and just feeling great). If you are looking for a trainer who is friendly, personal, and knowledgeable, then I couldn't recommend Emily more. *Please feel free to email me with questions*
