She also gave great nutrition tips while we were working out and afterwards talked with us about overall health and lifestyle choices to support our long terms goals.

I had the pleasure of joining a group session workout with Sarah back in February this year. I am,…read moreby no means, an expert when it comes to working out, but I also am no beginner. I work out with weights regularly at the gym and include cardio HIIT workouts to my routine. I thought this session would be a piece of cake. What I liked: * Before we got started, she gave a brief description of what we'll be expected to do for the duration of the class (how long it will take, what we'll be doing, the flow, the intensity) * The pace of the workout felt right, it wasn't too fast or too slow. * The dynamic of fitness levels of the women that participated. We were beginners to advanced athletes. * She explained beginner moves and more advanced moves depending on your fitness level * Sarah's motivation during the workout (keep shoulders down, counting down the workout, how many reps we have left, drink your water) * The variety of the workouts * Positive and constructive feedback during the workout (height of legs (where it should be), modified movements (performed correctly/how to get the most out of it)) * It was fun My heart rate did get up there. I wasn't expecting the session to be as intense as it was considering my workouts outside of this session. My muscles were definitely sore (ones I normally do not use doing my regular exercise routine) the next day. It was a very great, quality workout. Sarah was patient, friendly, and easy to follow. You know, you get out of it what you put in. She didn't let us slack, but pushed us to our individual points of failure. She also worked out with us. I look forward to working out with Sarah again.

Absolutely amazing woman. She knew exactly how to help me reach my goals and instruct me how to…read moreproperly engage my muscles during each workout. So stoked to be on this journey with her!!!!

I've lost track of how long I've been training with Denetra for but it's been long enough that I've…read moreseen a huge change in my body. Before, I used to always work out at the gym, go from machine to machine and just assumed I was doing everything right. Well after working with Denetra for just one session, I quickly realized I had been doing everything wrong all along! She not only shows you what workouts work best for your body but she also teaches you proper form and educates you on why we work out certain parts of our body or target certain muscles groups. I really like this because I feel more empowered knowing about my body and to know how to exercise properly and efficiently to see results. Because believe it or not, there is a right and a wrong way of working out to get the results for YOUR body. Denetra has taught me that every body is different, so you should only focus on workouts that help your body in particular; rather than doing what you see on tv or by watching other people in the gym. Your workout should be customized to reflect YOU and the goals that YOU want to achieve. Denetra has also taught me that working out can be fun. I have to admit that I hate working out. If it wasn't for Denetra, I probably wouldn't working out in the first place. But she makes things fun with always having a smile on her face, always having something fun to talk about and always motivating me to push harder. I appreciate Denetra's professionalism and would recommend her to anyone looking to see lasting results rather than the quick fix that is sold on TV. It doesn't work, trust me, I've tried so many of those. Denetra's workout methods work and she'll be there every step of the way to help you achieve your goals. Thanks D!

I've been with Denetra for about 3 months now, and finally, FINALLY I am seeing results!…read more Don't get me wrong, I was already working out before I met her, for over a year and pretty consistently. Cardio/weight lifting and everything. However, it wasn't until I started her training program that she tailored to fit me and my needs/goals exactly when I started seeing more drastic change in my body. I am leaner now and stronger. I eat better (let's be real it's so much easier to eat better when you have someone else who offers to keep tabs on you) AND for once I feel like by the time summer hits I will have that summer beach bod I want (: Her program is also flexible. I do her online training. I get new workouts every month and I can adjust them to my schedule which is really hectic. Her program is also REALLY affordable! PLEASE don't go paying ridic prices from other trainers who charge upwards of 80 dollars a session. This is a RIPOFF and you will go broke before you get the body you want. Denetra is affordable, fun, inspiring, and a downright AMAZING trainer. Would highly rec to anyone.

Although these professionals were good, Ziggy has been far more EFFECTIVE. I have improved vastly in strength and balance and stamina. At Scripps I learned neurological vocabulary like "pruning", "sequencing" and "neglect". At Rock Athletic, I learned "move it". - probably the most important aspect of stroke recovery. Ziggy has a very personal approach to my program, which is implemented and evaluated at each session and he is very attentive to your immediate needs and to your progress. He truly takes a sincere interest in you as well as your goals and objectives. I actually look forward to P.T. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !

I have also taken a pilates class she teaches and it is amazing (mind you i am struggling in the corner just to straighten my legs and she is twisted into so weird bendy shape I will never manage!)

My mother in law and I go together and there is lots of other women (and a few fellas!) that have been singing up (through the city of Escondido) session after session. We are loyal to our Angie!!!
