Client Testimonials

“Sophie was instrumental in my training for the 2019 marathon.  I had previously run it in 2017 and had a lot of overall hip tightness and plantar fasciitis afterwards. When I decided to run it again, early on in my training I experienced a lot of the same problems.  Then, I decided to work with Sophie and she showed me many strength and mobility exercises that I used during my training which ultimately corrected these issues, shaved 20 minutes off of my marathon time and I experienced almost no pain after the marathon.  Because of Sophie’s attention to detail, willingness to explain, overall knowledge of mobility, programming and kinesiology; I would and have recommended her to anyone that is trying to improve their overall quality of life. (Not just if you are training for a marathon).”

“Before working with Sophie, I didn’t understand the value of personal fitness – Why did someone want to be the most jacked or the fastest or the strongest person in the room? I didn’t grow up playing sports or being particularly active, but I knew I needed to start taking better care of myself in order to enjoy my life to the fullest for as long as I can. So, I joined a gym and was recommend to Sophie, and my life, health and happiness have since changed tremendously for the better. She challenged everything I thought I knew about fitness and got me to focus on how my body felt when I moved, and helped me understand the fundamental reasons why my body was limited in or hurting in certain ways. I learned the value that feeling good from the inside out can bring to your day to day, and have since gained immense confidence while losing 6% body fat, built muscle while losing 10 lbs and healed my chronic back pain while losing all of the anxiety I had around lifting heavy weights. Working with Sophie has transformed the way my body moves over the past 12 months in ways I never could have never imagined – Her combination of customization, strength building and mobility work has changed the way I feel for the better both physically and mentally every day. Training with Sophie is an investment in yourself, your health and your life, and is worth every dollar. Thank you Sophie for everything you continue to bring to my life, I couldn’t appreciate you more!”

“I started working with Sophie in February 2019 to work on my running goals. Ever since I started working with her – I have gained strength, resiliency, and confidence overall in running. I’ve lost body fat percentage and weight but most importantly of all I became more aware of my form and the technical aspects of my running. Sophie will teach you the fundamentals to help you become more body aware, which is more important than the aesthetics-related result of working out, and a safe way to build up strength that will help with running and building muscle. I enjoy every session with Sophie and she is an incredible teacher. I recommend Sophie for anyone who is looking to gain strength, confidence, muscles, and work on their running goals!!”

“I am a “mature” adult who for the most part has neglected my fitness for many years.  I have had many false starts at attempts to make a sustained commitment to improving my physical condition.  In my latest attempt in November 2018, I joined yet another fitness club and was randomly assigned to Sophie for personal training.  At the outset I knew this was different upon seeing her smiling, friendly personality and her low key approach in discussing my past conditioning efforts (or in my case the lack thereof), my personal lifestyle and my fitness goals.  During the early goings, Sophie assessed my capabilities and designed challenging but achievable exercise programs taking into consideration my age level, fitness, issues with arthritis and desire to improve my ability to participate in sports such as golf and skiing.  It soon became apparent that this was going to be different from my prior training experiences.  Sophie is interested and closely monitors my performance and she constantly alters my regimen to introduce new challenges based on my progress.   Under her direction I have seen results which motivates me to work harder and always strive to further improve my physical conditioning.  I can enthusiastically recommend her to anyone desiring to improve their personal lifestyles through physical conditioning.”
