I have been training with Natalie at Top Physique for a year now, once a week, 60 minutes. I am a full time momma of two boys and also work full time..anyone that can relate knows that dedicating to yourself 1 hour from a day that starts at 6am and ends at 9pm is hard. I decided to make some changes in my life, get the monkeys off my back one at a time and the only way to do that was to get back to running. I joined Natalies 6 week Tumamoc hill challenge, adjusted my schedule, 60 minutes, once a week to myself to be social and do the hill with the group that also joined the challenge. The not so social person I am while working out, I prefer to run alone, I dont like to talk while I'm in my zone, I'm competitive so I try to stay focused on the prize than talk after. Natalie finally asked me why didnt I ever like big gyms and its simple..people sometimes don't go there for the purpose its intended for. It was always so frustrating so I stayed away and just ran on my spare time. Im an in and out, get a brutal workout in for the little time I have after work without my boys. I don't have time to wait for people to get off the machine I need when really they are staring at themselves in the mirror doing nothing. Needless to say, I placed for the Tumamoc Challenge which earned me a free 60 min session with Natalie at Top Physique gym. We were able to get our schedules to work because she's amazing with her flexibility and I never stopped going. If it wasn't for her giving me the opportunity to do the hill challenge, than getting me in the best private gym which every minute of my hour she makes sure I'm pushing myself to the max..I really would probably be in a different space less of where I'm at now. I feel like I am stronger, sharper, more confident, and most importantly a better momma because I have learned to take care of myself in order to be able to take care of my boys and help others. I encourage people that can relate to being a parent, work full time, don't know where to start but know you need to start somewhere..get on Natalie's calendar. I enjoy every minute of my private session that is tailored to me, Natalie has changed my life. read more

Where do I begin?As a formerly athletic person who is now committed to health and getting back into better shape and had been off the wagon of routine strength training since my first knee surgery to repair my meniscus. Now having a full knee replacement 2 years ago, I began again, I was going to a BRO type bootcamp training, way beyond my ability, it was super frustrating to not feel heard or aligned and knew it wasn't right for me or my body. I wasn't giving up on me, I knew I needed a different type of trainer that understood women's body's, and the way women lose weight is different than men. I found Natali, a real stroke of luck, she was exactly what I was looking for in a trainer, she provides a taylored, encouraging approach. Natali never shames, blames or guilts me-ever. Natali is so knowledgeable, I'd say an expert in women's bodies, she is REAL, she is encouraging, realistic, kind, attentive and tuned into what my specific abilities are, she know how to train you properly-no injuries. She watches you intently to ensure proper form and technique.The most important thing about Natali to me is her caring about you, and develops a relationship with you, to really understand. I have weight to lose, and Natali sees in me my lighter fitter self and works with me to see that is possible. She's helped hundreds of women be their best selves, with total acceptance, and total body positivity. I've now been with Natali since Sept of 2024, I faithfully work our 2-3 times a week. Everyone in my life sees the difference in me from the inside out. I still have a ways to go, and I see how far I've come. I also work out with Justin, he is wonderful, and a perfect compliment to Natali's style...he's funny, encouraging, caring, compassionate and a top notch human. My work out is a gift I give myself; both Natali and Justin are top notch and make it fun (really). read more

I started training with Natali back in August 2016 and I am about to complete my first 3 months with her, and I must say it has been amazing. As I start my second 3 months I would like to share that Natali has been inspiration through this journey in the search of the best version of me. She has inspired me to dare getting out of my comfort zone, dare to learn to respect myself, learning to stay true to my commitment, it is about learning to love yourself. I believe that one of the main reasons she inspires you is because she walks her talk, so it is not just about words, it is about doing, daring to raise to the challenge, daring to believe it can be done, and doing it. It has been challenging but the type of challenge that makes you want to continue moving forward, it is, at the end of the day, personal, this is about my personal struggle and having an incredible leader such as Natali makes big difference. If you have ever heard of Vince Lombardi, well, imagine having Natali to train you personally, ohh yes! prepare to learn to give your very best every time, because she does that to you, she inspires you to do your best every time. She dares you to dare. THANK YOU, Natali! read more

I started training with Natali at Built4This three months ago, and I am SO happy with my results so far! When I first started, I was the heaviest I've ever been, couldn't stick to a routine if my life depended on it, and had the worst posture because I had zero back muscle to support my neck. Who knew that was a thing right? Fast forward three months, I'm lifting heavier than I ever have, my posture looks great, I have my confidence back, and I understand so much more about my body and the foods I put in it. I have Natali to thank for all of this! She has been so patient and helpful and goes above and beyond to support you as a whole- mind, body, and spirit. She taught me correct form, helped me understand macros, taught me that health journeys are very customized to each individual, and just always made me feel heard and supported. Natali has truly been a God send, and I gained so much more than a nice body! I always enjoy our sessions because she's so easy to talk to and fun and truly just wants to help you become the best version of you. She genuinely cares, and I am forever grateful for my time at Built4This! read more

Today was an emotional day as I saw my before and after pictures. I have a long way to go, but my transformation in the past 12 weeks has been incredible. I started at 170 lbs and now I'm 141 lbs and building lean muscle mass! I have to share that Natali is an amazing trainer who provided me with a meal plan (and I'm talking about a full menu), a detailed workout plan, and most importantly, encouragement. Each week Natali encouraged me to take my workout a step further and had faith that I could do more than I thought. I began doing things I didn't dream possible and Natali coached me through the entire process. She guided me to ensure my form was correct and took time to explain what each exercise was for and what it was doing to my body. Her patience and expertise are incredible and I would recommend her to everyone who is seeking to make changes in their appearance. I can't thank you enough Natali for your amazing training, for kicking my ass, and having faith in me! I'm not done... I'm just starting! I'll be back... read more

My husband and I are extremely happy with Natalie's personal training service! We were at a point in our lives where we were so focused on our work that we were not exercising at all. We realized it was time for a change! After doing some online research of the best personal fitness trainers in Tucson, we chose to work with Natalie because of her many achievements as a body builder as well as her professionalism! We signed up for 12 weeks (3 times per week) and we definitely saw significant improvements in our appearance as well as our strength. Natalie has also taught us how to use simple weights and equipment to work out at home in between our sessions. Not only is Natalie extremely knowledgeable, she also has an amazing personality! She creates a large variety of different exercises based on our goals. Working out with her is never boring and time passes by very quickly every time we work out with her. I highly recommend Natalie if you are looking for someone to help you reach your fitness goals!!! read more

I don't even know where to start with Natali. She is such a blessing in my life. I had hit a really rough patch physically in my life and she swooped in to save the day. We work out together on a weekly basis and it is honestly my favorite day of the week. Even when I am not working out with her, she maps out my workout and eating plan with very simple instructions. Natali is kind, compassionate, empathetic, and knows how to push you without ever making you feel unworthy or like you can't complete a task. She encourages me to be my best self. I've never had a trainer before- because I only thought of them to be critical, judgmental, and money hungry. Natali has literally NONE of those qualities in her nature and ONLY wants to see you succeed. Whether you are an advanced athlete, or a beginner, she will always meet you where you are at physically. I'm so, so pleased with my results so far and we've only been training for a month. I'm so stoked for the future!!! read more

I never thought I could lose weight , get a shape, and get stronger but that was not the case with personal trainer Natali Medlen, I started working with her a little over 6 months ago because I was tired of my appearance and I wanted to get stronger legs for cycling. I am 50 years old and have never felt and looked better. I've lost close to 20 pounds and I was able to complete the El Tour de Tucson- 76 mile ride. Natali laid out an excellent exercise program as well as meal and nutrition guidelines which made me so aware of the importance of making healthy food choices. She has also taught me proper strengthening techniques and I always get an excellent workout because of it. My experience there has been very positive, If you are looking to make and commit to a positive lifestyle change that will produce noticeable results , make it your 2017 fitness goal to stop by Top Physique and meet with personal trainer Natali Medlen. read more

Natali is a very encouraging, inspiring and knowledgeable trainer. She is very friendly, easy to work with while really knowing her stuff. She is motivating in a very pleasant way! I am a guy, in my 50's, and while under her guidance I have lost about 30 pounds and have gone from nearly 38-inch jeans to easily fitting into 32's. at 6'1" and over 200 pounds, that's not a pants size I ever thought I'd see again. Meanwhile, my strength has noticeably improved. Most importantly, my doctor has seen the results on my blood tests, in terms of measurably lower A1C and cholesterol numbers. Natali is very good about working around some old injuries and surgeries. And, believe me, I'd do even better if I stuck to her plan more religiously! I look forward to continuing to work with her to see where this fitness journey can take me. Natali is definitely a pleasure to work with and extremely good at what she does. Highly recommended. read more

This has been a great experience. I have always believed that cardio was the only way to reach my weight loss goal. I I've tried for many years with no success. Natali taught me that a combination of both cardio and strength training was the way to go, all via a smart phone app. She is in Tucson and I am in the Dallas area and she has managed to help me lose 17 pounds and lots of inches!! I have been working using her program for 15 weeks now and am convinced that you don't have to have your personal trainer present at your workout to succeed. The app has videos that demonstrate each exercise as well as alternative exercises if for some reason the assigned one isn't working for you. Natali holds me accountable and this has helped me make exercise a hobby that I enjoy and hate having to miss instead of a chore!!! I highly recommend her services!!! read more

I've been training with Natali for 16 weeks. I just had my son 7 months ago, and since I signed on with Natali I have lost all of my baby weight! Her meal plans are something that can be done long term for sure. It's nice because I'm never starving! I've tried probably every fad diet in the book, so having Natali's realistic meal plans just make sense. With her meal plan comes a cardio and weightlifting program. I feel good going into the free weight section of the gym and actually knowing what I am doing. My body has transformed and I just can't say enough good things about my time with Natali. I was worried I wouldn't be able to lose my baby weight and now it's all gone! If your even thinking about starting a plan with her, stop thinking and just sign up. You won't regret it!! read more

I found Built4This from a simple google search when I was wanting to get in the gym and get in shape but had NO IDEA where to start. After only two months I have already seen incredible results I hadn't expected to see so soon! I initially expected to get tired of having someone telling me how to workout, but as I continue my training, I am constantly learning more and more about how to properly train my body with tips that actually help me as I progress. As a beginner I never felt overwhelmed with training that was too advanced, and as I have progressed, I feel my workouts becoming more complex but it is always the perfect level of intensity for my new stage of fitness. If you are looking for someone to train you effectively at any fitness level, this is the place for you!! read more

Last year I registered for, and dropped out of, an inline speed skating half marathon. Despite extensive training and dieting on my part, I knew I wasn't in proper shape to compete. After training this year with Natali, I not only competed, I placed first in my age group and second overall! Never in a million years did I think I'd be standing on top of a podium, and yet there I was! I couldn't have done it without Natali. Natali is a health and fitness wizard. She made changes to my diet and workout regimen that helped me shed 20 pounds of fat and gain muscle at the same time. At 43 years old, I am in the absolute best shape of my life. I couldn't be happier, and my husband is pretty happy about it, too. :) Train with Natali. You won't regret it! read more

I was a Personal Trainer at Built4This for a short period of time, and there aren't enough words to describe how INCREDIBLE this studio is. The physical studio is nice and intimate to create the perfect one-on-one sessions. The equipment is clean and organized, and the larger bathroom gives plenty of space to freshen up before or after workouts. The other trainers were so kind and talented. They truly care about each client as an individual. And the owner...wow! Natali is not only beautiful inside and out but she taught me many ways to grow as a trainer. If you are searching for place to begin or continue personal training- your search is over. Book a consultation today and get inside that studio! You won't regret it! read more

I started seeing Natali at the beginning of 2019 and have had such an amazing experience! She listens to your goals and tailors a program specifically designed for you to meet them. The program and workouts push you and Natali is always encouraging you to do more, in a tough but kind way. Her extensive knowledge, and mental database of exercises, ensure you are always mixing it up and never getting complacent. Her true love and passion for helping people succeed and reach their goals really shows through, and helped me to push even harder every week. I could not be happier with the results I have achieved since working with her, and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a new challenge! read more

Natali trained me for several months earlier this year. I'd used other personal trainers for motivation and direction in the past, but Natali was the most professional, informed, and encouraging trainer that I've worked with. She was always prepared with a workout plan, varied the daily plan each session, and made workouts challenging, but not intimidating. Her one-on-one attention was key to my learning and performing with the proper form and to avoiding injuries. Natali also trained my husband for several months separately, and while keeping our individual progress confidential, she was adept at using this connection to motivate us individually. I will definitely be returning Natali in the future! read more

I began in person training with Natali right before the pandemic started. I was enrolled at the University of Arizona at the time. After one in person session, I was forced to go back home to Maryland because of corona. Not only was Natali understanding of my situation but she trained me via video call throughout the next couple of months. Looking back, I wouldn't have survived quarantine without these training sessions. I learned so much about weight training and how to get creative with working out while gyms were closed. I am extremely grateful to have had this opportunity to train with someone who was not only encouraging but extremely knowledgeable in her profession. I highly recommend:) read more

Where do I beginning, Natali loves her job and you can tell by her ethics and compassion for helping people. She not only helped me get back to my ideal weight, but was understand and genuinely concerned about my everyday life. Being a mom, she always asked about my son and boyfriend. She also is in amazing spirits and makes you laugh so much....which is a great ab work out :) She pushes you to be better but not over baring pushy, which was my favorite part. Natali also responds accordingly and is very punctual, yet flexible with your work schedule or life in general. She is the best personal trainer and is completely irreplaceable. You will not regret every stepping foot in Top Physics. read more

I've transformed from a former reluctant gym-goer to someone who can't wait to come work out with Natali, and now Justin. My doc recommended resistance training to fend off osteoporosis, and I did not anticipate loving this as much as I do, and I feel lucky to have found Natali, her experience, expert eye and attention to detail. Every workout is tailored to one's personal needs, strengths and weaknesses. I didn't need to lose weight, but I've gained muscle tone, flexibility, and an overall level of confidence in what my body can do. And the journey continues! Cannot recommend Natali and Justin enough. If there were 20 stars, I'd give 'em. read more
