My client, Olga, is the epitome of the phrase “you are never to late to start” at the youthful age of 90 years old.  We’ve only been training for a short while, but in that time, she’s more than impressed me with her enthusiasm and energy.  She contacted me shortly after her birthday in March as she wanted to do some personal training, she had done the same thing 10 years earlier as a treat when she turned 80, and wanted to repeat the process for her 90th.

Olga takes a shuttle to the North Club from the retirement community she lives in to attend our sessions together. My time with Olga is full of laughs and stories of her interesting past.  She and her husband (who sadly passed away a few years ago) and their out-door adventures: camping, kayaking, hiking, biking, remind me of the things I enjoy doing and give me hope and encouragement that I myself will be living life to the max, just like she does.

I often tell her I want to be just like her when I grow up, and then she gives me a wink, a smile and says she hasn’t yet grown up herself.   Just what I wanted to hear.

I have struggled with my weights all my life and have attempted many different weight loss regimens. A large part of my weight loss struggles have related to mental hurdles, which have limited me in pushing myself further.

Since joining Movati three years ago, I have had the privilege to work with some amazing trainers and health care professionals who have supported my weight loss journey 150%! Each one giving me another piece to my puzzle, and each having instilled in me that I can win this battle! I t hasn’t been until recently that I have noticed victories, that my trainer, Karen Lorento had I have taken great pride in.

What a sense of accomplishment! One of my recent struggles has been with assisted pull-ups. When Karin had me start this I could barely struggle through a few. Just a couple weeks ago I made it through 5 sets of 10 reps! A huge victory and mental accomplishment for team Audrey!

Each session Karin pushes me a little further and tougher we push past boundaries ready to tackle the next hurdle. I am excited to see what the future holds and how many more hurdles we can demolish!

Wow! Here I am starting my 18th consecutive year of Personal Training, all of them with Brad Fowler as my Trainer.

I was a ‘mere’ 59 years old when I started this journey. Brad has continually motivated me to improve, or at least try to improve, through all these years. This is a motivation that carries me well beyond our personal training sessions.

Workouts with Brad are always challenging. One never knows what to expect. This, I think, is a good thing.

I always look forward to my next session.

Training with Kelsey has been the best decision I have made for my weight loss and health goals.

Her positive attitude is contagious and the workouts that she designs are challenging but achievable. Each session brings something new which keeps things interesting and fun to do on my own as well. Kelsey has helped me work through the mental struggles that come with starting something new and is always supportive of my goals, strengths and weaknesses.

I have gained so much more than I’ve lost; confidence, motivation and the desire to push myself in an arena I never thought I would enjoy.

I look forward to continuing this experience with Kelsey!

Working with Chris over the past year has been amazing.

I knew I wanted to improve my strength but needed help with what to do.

We slowly worked our way to Olympic Lifting and now I am achieving things I never dreamed of. I am so proud of the progress I have made and I owe it to Chris.

He is an incredible coach and motivator and I hope top continue working with him in the future.
