Knowing she has my back and won't ask me to do more than I'm able at the moment is a huge benefit. I've worked with other trainers in the past and they have not shown half the level of care and professionalism that you get with Ann Pelino. If you want a private, custom experience, this is the place to go.

I've been working with Ann for over a year…read more Ann is a fantastic personal trainer. I've had continuous a personal trainer between 2003-2013, took a break between 2013 and 2015, but started working out with Ann in Nov 2015. In that steady decade of trainers, I worked with 6 trainers in that timeframe. Ann is among the best. To me the sign of a great personal trainer is their ability to adapt. An excellent personal trainer will still ensure you have a great work out if you sprain your ankle, have a pain point, or are bored with the same old activities. Injury: I recently sprained my ankle running; while we haven't been able to burn as many calories or get intense cardio in while I heal, we are still pushing those weights and keeping my upper body & core active. Pain Point: When I do have a pain point, I explain it to Ann and she 9 times out of 10 has a recommendation that helps to alleviate the issue almost immediately: for example, I occasionally have pain in my right knee - Ann will recommend specific foam rolling and the pain is gone. To me this demonstrates knowledge & expertise about the body that one can only get with a trainer who has been working with clients for a while. Variety: Given I've worked out with trainers for over a decade, I thought I had seen most workouts, activities, sets/reps, combination, etc. I had gotten to the point where trainers and the industry were simply renaming certain moves and I recognized it. I don't know where Ann gets her library of activities, but she will bring out a new move that combines actions and my brain LOVES the challenge! I just have to tell her I'd like to "change it up" and she instantly has us doing new moves. Ann helps keep me motivated; she often will text me just to make sure I get the workouts between sessions we discussed. We thoughtfully discuss her recommendations for working out between sessions. She always asks about my nutrition and has suggestions that help. I'm losing weight, but what's better I FEEL healthy. I'm so much more active again. I've started working out twice a day. I am able to run around before and after working out, taking care of chores with far more energy... the biggest thing is a return to a more active lifestyle: enjoying my passion for hiking and doing 1K foot mountains in a morning with friends and now I'm running 5Ks - considering a 10K & 1/2 marathon in 2017. A lot of that is my personal motivation, but Ann HELPS me and SUPPORTS me. I've been a client since November 2015 and I will continue being a client. I see her a minimum of twice a week.

I have been going to Bootcampwf (BCWF) for almost 3 years. I have not stepped inside a gym since!…read more There is something about the outdoors that makes it all so much better! The instructors make a tough hour workout fun! Who knew I could laugh while doing Burpees and mountain climbers! One of the things I love about BCWF is that no two workouts are ever the same, yet with every class I get a full body workout of cardio mixed with strength. I take the 5:45am class....the best part of my day....the cool down, lying on a mat looking up at the endless sky knowing I just finished the best thing I could do for myself....and it sets me up for a great day! "You can't get that at a gym!"

I will start by saying Dr. Nadia and Dr. Andre are both WONDERFUL doctors that will help you…read moreachieve your weight goals. Thanks to their help, I was able to SAFELY and STEADILY drop 18-20lbs in about 3 months so I could fit my wedding dress!! Dr. Nadia handles the labwork, nutrition/diet plans, and meds (if needed). Dr. Andre will help you with all your exercise goals/strategies/plans and will work with you on your mindset and lifestyle (so you don't relapse). Together, they are an amazing team (they are husband and wife, too) that will support you every step of the way to help you reach your weight goals SAFELY. AND they will help you MAINTAIN your weight. Their program has evolved very quickly and has adapted to accommodate patients during the COVID pandemic. You use their app on your phone to log your calorie intake, vitals, track weight, etc. The app also allows you to text them at any time if you have questions/concerns and they respond quickly :) Depending on your plan, you may meet with one of them once a week (so you do feel like you are held accountable and can't slack off because you're gonna see them every 7 days!!) If you ever have to go to their office in-person, rest-assured their office is VERY CLEAN (and they both are decked-out in PPE) with strict procedures in place to keep everyone safe during this pandemic. This was the best investment I have made for my health and well-being. By dropping the COVID weight, my overall health has drastically improved, apparently my cholesterol is wonderfully low, blood pressure down, my clothes fit (and some are now too baggy!), I FEEL GREAT, and most importantly... I FIT THE DRESS !!

Problems: bloated for years, got food &gut tested with Anita…read more Learned: I'm super sensitive to certain grains like wheat and certain vegetables like green beans and even lentils! Solutions: Anita and I worked on a customized diet and supplements as well as worked in behavioral changes like how i treat my phone at night, and toe standing. Not only is the bloating GONE. BUT My brain is working better and I have just begun losing some weight! Anita is so knowledgeable and understanding! She comes up with alternatives that I like better and I still have my coffee and chocolate (they tested fine!).. thank you Anita for hearing me and working with me like none of my doctors ever do.

I was really excited after my first visit. I felt like she was really going to help me. I figured…read moreif she was really good she was worth paying out of pocket. But not only was she really expensive but she just kept slow playing my care. Every visit she would say what she would do next time and the next time it would be the same delays. I paid thousands in office visits, lab work and supplements without any real progress. She would never look up from her computer during our sessions. The final straw was when she suggested a diet plan. When I got home and looked over the plan I realized it was not tailored to my diet restrictions as a vegetarian. She was told numerous times I didn't eat meat but she just made the same generic recommendations to everyone. The lab work she did would find all kinds of problems but she would hold off addressing them. Then if you needed a refill she would charge you extra for it. Patient care was severely lacking. There are much better doctors who care more about helping their patients then the almighty dollar and will even accept major insurance plans. Don't waste your money here!
