"From the very start, [Abby] was so encouraging and supportive, making me perfectly comfortable. While she pushed me to give my very best during every workout, she encouraged me to listen to my body and talk about any frustrations or negative feelings I experienced. She never dismissed them and helped me work through them so that I could continue my workout successfully. I loved being able to change things up and that no work out was ever the same. I now ENJOY running, hiking, mountain biking, swimming and so many other activities! Not only did I lose inches, I also gained strength, courage and confidence!" - Jenny K.

"I am thankful to have had Abby as my personal trainer during my pregnancy. She is very friendly, thorough, and willing to adapt to my needs. She is professional and well trained and the exercises gave me the strength I needed during labor. She is an excellent prenatal trainer and I loved working with her. I highly recommend her!" - Nikki C.

"Abby is more than a fitness trainer. She really helped to restore not only my health and body, but also my heart and mind. She created a program for me that incorporated my needs as a busy working mom and helped me ease back into a fitness routine that I could manage after having my son. She reminded me of the importance of treating myself with grace and carving out time to put myself first. She creates a challenging and supportive fitness environment that honors each person's personal journey...without judgement." -Tracee P.
