I've been training with Alina for a few months now, and she's exactly the kind of coach I was…read morehoping to find. 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.

Ryan changed my life, I have been a regular at firefitness for 3 years now and it's been home to me…read moresince. 3 years I was in the worst horrible shape anyone can get to accomplish, I had heard about Ryan and how good he is and one day I literally grabbed him by his arm and asked him for help because I'm miserably out of shape with a lot of pain in different areas of my body, shoulders, elbows, lower back, cramps at night, etc... Now I am almost an addict to firefitness, I have lost 40 pounds and I'm almost in the best and most athletic shape in my place. This place f*ing rocks! Thank you Fire Fitness!

To go along with that, I have watched you ruin others bodies with your aggressive weight lifting and Horrible posture. As a resident of the Elements Apartments, Fire Fitness has made working out impossible in the gym. The main trainer uses up all of the space and treats residents VERY poorly. Residents should always come first. Tired of getting treated like I can't use my own gym. Would appreciate a change and some respect. Multiple time I have received rude glares and eye rolls from the "main" trainer.You are using our space. Really wish they would find somewhere else to train.

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Alexis and Fierce physiques…read more I was inspired by her Instagram page from the day she announced she was going to do a fitness competition. It was something I had always wanted to do, but was intimidated by the workouts and diets. So, I decided to watch her progress week after week and when she finally stepped on stage I thought, hey, I can do this! A few days later I had a full workout plan, diet, and checkins with Alexis. She had me hit the ground running before I had a chance to realize what I was doing. I called her everyday with questions and concerns and she answered them all with comfort and non judgement. Every week I watched my body transform with muscle as the fat began to fall off. I heard horror stories of girls starving and being miserable. Let me tell you, I was happy and full. I can't say enough for what Alexis has done to my body, mind, and soul. She inspired me to push myself past my limits and taught me how to be the fitness competitor I am today. She encouraged me to join a local team, helped assist with bikini colors, watched my posing, and even flew in to surprise me after my show. I couldn't ask for a better person to call my friend.

Thanks to his support and accountability, I stayed consistent and hit every workout for over a year--no small feat! I felt stronger, saw real results, and never had to second-guess what to do.

Totally worth it.

I moved from Sacramento and a fabulous personal trainer to the Seattle area, then COVID happened…read more I am primarily a runner, but strength training makes me a better runner, especially with the big hills in the area! As I finished of the 2021 race year, my last race aggravated an already worn and cranky knee. I figured it was time to see if I could find a good body work person to help with recovery. I found Dustin and not only does he do great body work, but I discovered he was a personal trainer as well. I did a DEXA scan then started working with him. I started building up strength, even though I couldn't run. Dustin was very careful not to do anything to aggravate the injury as he built the rest of me up, including supporting muscle groups. By April I was starting to run again. I was also trying to drop the extra COVID pounds I picked up, and while the scale didn't seem to be budging, my clothes were definitely feeling better. I did another DEXA scan, and I had dropped 10 pounds of fat (including most of the visceral fat) and picked up 10 pounds of lean mass, so definitely moving in the right direction! Dustin is very knowledgeable in anatomy, nutrition and the science around performance. We enjoy our discussions, and he appreciates my effort and enthusiasm, and the fact that I run around all over the country running these crazy Ragnar races. Not exactly your normal Grandma pursuit! I highly recommend Dustin, whether you are a competitive athlete, you want to be more healthy in general, fit in your clothes better, or don't want to fall over, break a hip and die! I say that last only somewhat tongue in cheek. It is definitely on my mind; I am appallingly close to that age! But I don't feel old, or look old, and my DEXA scan also shows I have very dense bones, another benefit of running and weightlifting! Just yesterday I was doing single-leg dead lifts with two 35 pound kettlebells and he said, "Just think, most people can't even do these without weight, and here you are with 70 pounds!" DON'T BE ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE! Go get in shape with Dustin! You don't HAVE to get to the really big kettlebells either. Talk to Dustin, figure out YOUR goals!

HHbM is truly so much more than a gym. When you see reviews that say Marisa changed their life…read more.. they mean it! Marisa has changed my outlook on fitness for the better. I used to use the gym as punishment to my body for looking the way I did. Now my mindset has completely shifted thanks to Marisa. I'm excited to go the gym because I GET to, because I have the CHOICE to. It's no longer a punishment, it is a badge of the hard things I can accomplish and the privilege I have to move my body. This outlook has truly changed my life, I choose this mindset every day in all aspects, and pass it along to whoever will listen. On top of that, HHbM is a community where we bond through events such as clothing drives, charity work, and good old fashion fun at a brewery on a Friday night! I am so grateful to be a part of HHbM!

HHbM Review/testimonial…read more I have been going to HHbM for about 6 months now and I absolutely am in love with everything about Marissa, the community she's created and my workouts at her gym. I did a ton of research before deciding on HHbM and it was the best decision hands down. I was quite happy with another gym I belonged to, however a change in my lifestyle and responsibilities changed and it was no longer a good fit for me. Since joining HHbM I've become stronger, remained extremely consistent, gained confidence, lost weight and have made friends that are part of the community she's created. Additionally, my life is constantly changing and I find myself away from my home frequently and I love I can join her virtual sessions and it feels like I'm amongst my workout buddies and at the gym. Marissa truly cares - one element of fitness I never truly grasped was the element of self care, with Marissa's help and motivation this has been a game changer for me. It's helped me not only drop 20 plus pounds, but improve my health significantly. At almost 65 years of ago, I'm the strongest, fittest and most confident version of myself. The fitness industry can be confusing and deceptive, but Marissa, the members and the health atmosphere at HHbM she's created is truly a rare find. She keeps her workouts challenging, different and educates you along the way. It's an atmosphere I look forward to at every workout and keeps me motivated to return and stay accountable.
