It is never the same workout twice! The Exercise Space is completely private so you can work out your own way to your own music, at your own pace, etc. Having a studio to yourself is so great, you really should try it, because really: being able to grunt and swear out loud totally helps with finishing that third set. Dawn is certified NASM, NFPT, and sports nutrition, so you know you can trust her advice and that she'll always conduct sessions in the most professional manner. Try it out, I think there are new client deals. This was the only thing that worked for me to lose over 20 pounds. Why not improve your fitness like the celebs do and get a personal trainer? It is more affordable than you think, because even if you only go like once a week, Dawn can give you homework to do on your own and keep your diet on track by checking on your food diary. She does some group classes as well, which are a total deal.

I use personal trainers mostly for structure and motivation and it is the only thing that keeps me sane in this world. Having prefaced with that, Dawn is by far the best trainer I have ever had. On the mundane side of things, she is reliable and always prepared - ready to modify your workout by how you're feeling. She is personable and easy going. On the fantastic side of things, her programs and plans are awesome. This is no mega gym experience. All her exercises work multiple areas. She works core better than anyone I've ever worked with. You'll get strength work and cardio work mixed in. She is a good motivator. Did I mention you'll get a lot of core work? Her space, well, has character. don't let that deter you. It matters nothing. It is private. I always feel fantastic after her workouts. Sometimes the muscles sing a bit the next day, but in a good way.

I'm a functional medicine health coach and nurse, so I really value a thoughtful, intentional approach--and that's what she delivers. She meets you where you're at, challenges you in all the right ways (don't let the super kind smile fool you!), and focuses on building strength that supports what you need in real life--not just burning calories. I especially appreciate her emphasis on controlled, full-range movement--perfect for someone like me whose top goal is to stay strong as I age and avoid injury. If you're looking for purpose in your training, not just checking the box of "working out"--Alina's the one.

I started training with Alina at the end of 2022. I was 50 years old, had never done any sport or…read morefitness in my life, was obese with several physical issues that I was afraid would stop me from being able to exercise. I had also decided that I needed to change my lifestyle if I want to have any chance of being healthy and mobile for the next 20-30 years, and finding a personal trainer was at the top of my list. I did not feel confident just going to the gym and trying to figure stuff out on my own. Alina is an awesome trainer. She completely understood where I was coming from, what my goals and fears were and was able to suggest adaptation to exercises and some new equipment that I had never even heard about. She is an educated, knowledgeable and experienced trainer and an awesome person all around. I really appreciated that she was able to explain what we were doing and why, short term and long term. I was impressed by how well she was able to judge my abilities (she was better at it than me!) and how attentive she was during our training. I could relax and exercise without any anxiety. I have to say that it was really impressive how she was able to give me just the right amount and type of encouragement and support I needed. All of these things led me to enjoy my gym time even more. It's been over a year now, and my results are great! I am so much stronger and capable now, with better stamina, and have more self confidence. I am seeing some body recomposition happening and I couldn't be happier. My mental health has improved a lot and now going to the gym is the highlight of my week. I'm pretty sure I gained a friend in Alina, along with all those other things, which is beyond awesome. I was incredibly lucky to have found Alina when I had. I'm very sorry to see her leave this area, but I am confident that she gave me a solid foundation for my fitness journey, and that I will be able to continue to build on it throughout the years. I wish her all the best in the new chapter of her life.

The gym members are very diverse and the format means it is never crowded and you have your own space. The best part are the coaches. They each bring a perspective that helps you grow in your training. Also they are just really great, fun people.

In the exercise, many trainers use a bar as a means for balance. It a great form of cardio workout and something I just joined in. I have to say, I LOVE IT!! It's like a choreographed dance split in to high-rep segments and you will get your sweat cut out for you. My personal trainer introduced Linda's class to me and for someone who's not as motivated to workout cardio more than once a week in a gym, I'd have to say I am HOOKED! Linda's first class was neither intimidating nor difficult. Although I say Barre workout is both a physical and mental workout; I also have to say, 'Don't think, just do." Linda is patient and encouraging and her moves are easy to follow. Though she tells you to take your time, she does want you to push your limit a little more each day. I had my first session last Thursday to test out the workout and my second session today, I found myself dancing at home and even in the shower! My goal? I can't wait until my thighs and legs are strong again! I HIGHLY recommend people (not just women) to take her course because Linda has so much enthusiasm and passion for what she does. It's truly rare to find that nowadays.

First off - I highly recommend Michelle and Collab Fitness.. (and I have to a bunch of my friends…read morealready). I signed with Michelle in her early morning session - for 2 main reasons - it was early enough in my day to fit my schedule and it was close by. I wanted to get started on my fitness goals and it seemed like a good way - with 2 classes a week. My expectations were - get to move, build some core strength and get cross trained as I start half marathon training. Michelle's sessions exceeded my expectations! - The sessions were really well organized - she emailed ahead of time what to expect for the week. So, I was mentally prepared going in - She was there and ready to go - and full of positive energy. - She worked with everyone (Who were at different fitness levels) at their level and pushed us to get the best we have. - Sessions were a good mix of HIIT, Pop Pilates, body weight workouts, interval training, boot camp and - She took inputs from the class to see what worked and include them in the class - She is very organized with the workouts planned, music and intervals preset, guidance for new moves and routines ahead of doing them! - She is super encouraging, offers variations based on your needs, works around the class, monitors for posture and pushes you through the session... - I signed up to work with her on my nutrition as well - she had so many suggestions and followed up weekly to ensure I was on track - I now plan my weekly menu - all meals + snacks. she had a lot of great ideas that I could incorporate with my dietary limitations. As to results - I can see my workouts working... my running is getting better, I am eating healthier (most of the time :) ), muscle definition that I had lost, is coming back and I am enjoying working out, I've signed up for session 2. Wishing Michelle and Collab Fitness the very best! :)

Every class is well planned and in tune with the pace of the class as well as every individual. Michelle is constantly offering differentiation in movements to accommodate several fitness levels. One detail I appreciate SO much is how intervals are predictable because she meticulously plans music and uses a timer app. One of my personal pet peeves is the trainer who says thirty seconds but then keeps you going for 60. That never happens with Michelle. The mix of boot camp, circuit training, and Pop Pilates is not only fun, but very effective. I leave every workout feeling stronger and although exhausted, happy with the changes my body is undergoing. Michelle radiates positive energy and through keen observation and with simple suggestion, ensures she's pushing you towards your best fit self, i.e. there is NO TRACE of military bootcamp humiliation or veiled insults in the room. Michelle clearly knows what she is doing and is beyond passionate about fitness and your growth as well as fostering a team mentality, no one is alone at Collab Fitness!
