I have been training with Janelle for the past couple of years and I can undeniably say I am in the…read morebest shape I have ever been in. My life has drastically changed since I began working out with Janelle. I have struggled with my weight for years and was someone who never enjoyed exercising. Janelle has completely changed my perception of exercising and I always look forward to our sessions. I love how she is constantly switching up the routines I do so I never have a chance to get bored. Janelle is very attentive to the types of exercises I enjoy doing (kickboxing especially!) and creates ways to integrate them into routines that will best benefit my body type. Whether we are doing cardio, weight training, yoga, etc, I am always having a blast. Not only do I enjoy sessions with Janelle because they are physically challenging yet fun, but her down to earth, relatable personality has a very comforting effect on you. I have taken other exercise classes and have always felt kind of intimidated by the whole environment. I would feel like if I failed I might get pointed out or be given a discerning look that would embarrass me to the core. However, with Janelle you feel like you are working out with a person who is genuinely invested in your success and does not badger or make you feel bad if you happen to have a bad week with your eating habits or if you are not 100% there during a session. I have definitely had moments where I didn't know if I would be able to get through a workout but I knew if I at least show up to my session with Janelle she will make sure I have a good workout and push me to go as far as I can. Not only have I been able to improve my eating and exercise habits while working with Janelle but other aspects of my life have been impacted tremendously. I am a much more confident person, I do not get sick as often, and I am just all around a lot happier. Janelle asked me when we first starting planning goals for myself, what I wanted to achieve. I told her I wanted my physical body to match the person I felt like on the inside. I didn't want to feel held back anymore by my appearance because I wasn't happy with how I looked. I am so grateful to Janelle because she has been there with me through all the sweat and all the complaints and excuses I have made. I have become such a stronger person and am so thankful to Janelle because I am able to look in the mirror and love seeing the new body that has been created thanks to her amazing sculpting sessions. I would definitely recommend Janelle to any one who is looking for a trainer, or wanting to get or maintain a healthy lifestyle. Her constant motivation and caring personality radiates through each session and I can say I would not be able to rave about my success if I hadn't met her.

I've worked out with trainers, had gym partners and have even read all of the health magazines for…read moretips and the latest exercises, but working out with Janelle has opened my eyes to a healthier, yet balanced lifestyle. My wife has worked with her for nearly three years, and I have worked with her for almost two. We both worked with her in order to get in shape for wedding in November last year and have been very pleased with our results throughout. We both remark at how our bodies have changed and how we make better decisions about what we eat. At your first session, she will take measurements and evaluate your lifestyle and ask you about your goals--as a trainer should. She uses this information to set a training schedule and tailors your workouts accordingly. She takes a well-rounded and varied approach to help you reach your fitness goals. It's never the same workout every time, and she tries to introduce you to new experiences that you may not have considered before when thinking about exercise, such as rock climbing, hiking, yoga, stretching or even help with marathon training. She is willing to work with your schedule and can turn nearly any environment into a gym in minutes. On the diet front, she can help you by suggesting better eating habits or choices in a particular environment. Let's face it, all the work in the gym can be undone by what you eat and drink later in the day. This being said, she's also realistic about food. She understands that a beer or piece of chocolate cake here and there is okay and sometimes necessary. Janelle's knowledge and varied approach to fitness and nutrition help you reach your potential and make the move to a healthier, more balanced you.

She's very inquisitive about your life and fitness goals and is thoughtful about creating workouts that will help you achieve those goals.

After witnessing Stephanie's remarkable transformation from living with debilitating back pain to…read morethriving pain-free, I knew she was on to something. So when I was struck with painful chronic sacrum pain, I contacted Stephanie, who had since become trained to teach the method that had changed her life (it's called "Spinefulness"). We did a series of private sessions together in which Stephanie taught me how to sit, stand and walk pain-free. She also showed me a bunch of different foam-roller exercises that helped alleviate the tension in my back, hip flexors, legs and shoulders. I appreciated her hands-on adjustments, her tips on my workstation set-up, and the materials she provided to help me remember what to do. Stephanie has a wonderful sense of humor and she truly cares about her clients/students' well-being. Because she's been down this path, she really understands how chronic pain impacts every realm of your life and the frustration of trying many different modalities in a desperate search to find the one thing that finally works. Her approach isn't an overnight fix. It requires ongoing dedication, consistent practice and a lot of patience. However, I've met a handful of people who have significantly transformed their bodies and diminished their physical pain due to the Spinefulness method. I'm definitely still a work-in-progress, and look forward to continuing my practice in some of Stephanie's group classes.

I decided to try out Alison's core class on a whim as a 3ish-days-a-week climber at Planet Granite,…read moreand after a few months, I have found myself religiously going to her class-- and even occasionally going to the gym for the sole purpose of attending her class. for the past 15ish years I have been in shape, whether it be running, climbing, or field sports, but taking Alison's class has been an enlightening experience for improving my core. The exercises she teaches vary within and between each class, and there is rarely a muscle left behind in a given day or week-- including relevant core based cardio. Taking this class has legitimately improved my life inside and outside of sports. Not only is her class a great 1 hour way to burn off the steam of the weekly grind, but I can feel my core improving my posture, and alleviating stress that I laid on other muscles and joints in my body. I also have had problems sleeping on my back for as long as I can remember, but after strengthening my core and focusing on flattening my back (which is part of many of the proper form of the exercises), my lower back feels amazing. Alison's personality is also always uplifting, and she does a really good job of motivating you by making you laugh, while also being a harsh critic of poor form that keeps you focused and injury free. Lastly, my abs and core look better than they ever have!

Let's be honest - staying consistent with exercises is half of the battle…read more Alison is my guiding force - I stayed consistent and am so much stronger because of her commitment to showing up every week and kicking my butt. She kept me accountable, honest, but most importantly motivated. She is a true professional. I asked for some kick butt TRX moves, she had them, I asked for a weight workout, she knew tons of great moves. I asked for some cardio, she knew the perfect drills for both high intensity training & also general fitness training. Alison is amazing and I wouldn't be where I am without her. Through her motivation and encouragement I too have began the process of becoming a certified trainer. Alison has changed my life for the better and I am so thankful to know her. If you're looking for a great instructor and an even better personal trainer - look no further. You won't regret it

I had never worked with a personal trainer before, but from our very first session, I felt completely at ease with her. She created a space where it felt safe to struggle, meet myself where I was, and build from there. Maricruz is incredibly knowledgeable and thoughtful in how she designs workouts. She tailored everything to my goals while also being mindful of injuries, always making sure I was pushing myself safely and effectively. Because of her, I've become stronger than I've ever been. What I appreciated most is the balance she brings! Our workouts were challenging (there were definitely moments I wasn't sure I'd make it to the end!), but she was always encouraging, supportive, and motivating. And somehow, even in the toughest sessions, we were laughing. It made the whole experience not just effective, but genuinely fun. I would recommend Maricruz to anyone, no matter where you're starting. You'll feel supported, challenged, and in incredibly good hands.

I first started…read moreworking with her at 24 Hour Fitness, and during the pandemic we transitioned to outdoor workouts in the Mission. She was incredibly adaptable and kept our training consistent even during that challenging time. I primarily strength train with Maricruz, and she is excellent at designing challenging, well-structured workouts. She is exceptionally knowledgeable, with a degree in kinesiology, and it really shows in the way she programs exercises and pays close attention to form and detail. Her thoughtful approach has helped me become noticeably stronger and leaner over the years. Maricruz also leads by example--she is very strong herself (she can even do a pull-up!), which makes training with her especially motivating. She is professional, encouraging, and clearly passionate about helping her clients improve. She also occasionally runs bootcamps in the park, which are really fun classes to attend. The energy is great, and they're a fantastic way to get a challenging workout in a fun group environment. I feel very fortunate to have worked with her for so long and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled and dedicated trainer.

I love that he is able to fine tune each exercise based on how easy or hard it is for me to do it so it is at the right level of difficulty.
