Wendy has been an incredible motivator in my training and makes the sessions so much fun. She uses her humor and enthusiasm when clearly communicating and queuing movements to ensure proper form, and is quick to modify where necessary to accommodate physical limitations. Her program designed for my specific needs has resulted in improved strength and significant reduction in chronic back pain due to scoliosis.
Wendy pushed me when I was feeling unmotivated. Kept up throughout the challenge to keep me accountable with workouts. Super fun to be around. Gave me the knowledge to better understand stress and its effects on the body/fat storage. Wendy was awesome – will most likely buy more training sessions with her in the future.

Wendy responded really well to my specific injuries and workout goals. She gives excellent cues that help me activate the correct muscles. She listened to what I wanted to achieve instead of assuming I just wanted to get thinner.
Hugo was super professional and seemed to just follow my lead when it came to conversations during training sessions, which I always appreciate, especially in that context since working out and talking about fitness goals can feel vulnerable for lots of people. We ended up being kinda friends too since he was easy to chat
Hugo is amazing and I would highly recommend him! He is a consummate professional, extremely knowledgeable, was always early for sessions, organized, non judgmental, and quietly supportive to help me reach my goals. – S.
