WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

“Not only does Angela have the book knowledge, but she has the personal experiences of lifting and growing as well as an athlete who's competed and trained for different sports.
Angela’s coaching approach is very hands-on. She is able to teach with knowledge and examples. She has helped me with weight loss, learning how to manage what I eat for the goals I have, and better weight training form to help avoid injuries and gain strength.
I came to Angela with limited knowledge based on my own experiences through the sports I have done. I did not have a very good understanding of nutrition or how to manage what, and how much to eat to hit my goals. Whether it be to lose weight and/or gain muscle.
Over time, Angela has given me the building blocks to be successful in my own fitness journey going forward.
I've been around gyms for a long time. I think one of the best things about Angela as a coach is the fact that she lives out personally what she teaches for training and nutrition.”

“Working with Angela has been the best decision I have ever made!
Angela had her hands full with me, as I have a full knee replacement and 3 disc fusion in my neck. Initially, she performed an assessment to see exactly what my limitations were and she provided the tools to effectively improve them as we have gone. All which have helped me learn so much about my mobility, ranges of motion and the “why” behind my training plan.
Angela's coaching is individualized. She gives not only knowledge, but guidance, motivation and a plan. 1:1 sessions with her have helped me with improving my mobility and understanding of good technique.
Before starting with Angela, I was the heaviest I have ever been and now coming up on 2 years of working with her. In the first year, we dropped my body weight 50lbs and eventually added in strength training sessions.
I now can squat, kneel and get up from the floor. I learned how to use a barbell for the first of many times, and I even ran my first 5k. All things I couldn't do when we first started together and I am doing more (while pain free!) than I ever have done in all of my 60 years!”

“Angela’s coaching is definitely hands-on and a very direct no nonsense technique to get the desired job done in the most effective and beneficial way.
With Angela, I actually learned how to squat correctly. She taught me how to keep my core strong during the movement which has helped alleviate back problems I have had. Also, she taught me how to properly engage my glutes and I have definitely noticed an increase in glute development from that.
I used to just workout and eat properly and not focus on the little things to make myself better. I now spend time every session working on ROM, breaking up knots, and working on using proper breathing techniques to keep my core safe.
I really enjoyed learning new techniques to help break up my numerous muscle knots and ways to increase ROM with dynamic and static stretching. I am extremely happy with the results.
