I've had the pleasure of taking Shelly's boot camp classes at Dolores Park and can attest that it's…read moreworth setting the alarm early! Shelly was clearly born to be a fitness and wellness trainer. During the class, she makes sure everyone correctly performs each exercise while also keeping the mood of the class lighthearted. The hour flies by, but your body will feel the after-effects for at least a few days :) Highly recommended!

Her approach to fitness, and wellness more generally, is holistic in nature and she's always willing to give advice on diet, running, swimming, sleep patterns, etc. What I really like about Shelly is her willingness to be challenged on her ideas, and how every time she comes back with solid research proving anything she claims. Very highly recommend!

I have been having some back pain that's been there for a while and he taught me exercises that relieves it.

With combined prolotherapy treatment for my back, massage and Wholeself Wellness I now am able to walk 3-5 miles again. Ian developed a routine that started just where I was when I first stepped in then he adds a step at a time with his wicked good knowledge and skill to challenge my core to the core. Staff are terrific coaches to keep each exercise on target! The setting is clean, comfortable, upbeat with music that adds to the positive energy. The semi-private training times give just the perfect balance of privacy and camaraderie to keep on improving. I anticipate not only to be fully recovered but to achieve a healthier body than ever before in my life. I highly recommend Ian and his staff to begin the journey! It is well worth it.

I called Laura after my long time personal trainer quit the biz and I had struck out with another who had a strict program and personality that wasn't a fit. Laura was so thoughtful about asking me all the reasons I loved my long time trainer and why things had failed with my short term trainer. She listened intently and has worked all my likes and dislikes into our program. It became immediately obvious that this girl knows her stuff! She really understands how the body works and is so smart about working with me to change my body in areas where genetics have not been kind to me. She pushes me to increase my abilities, but always makes sure that I'm comfortable and makes modifications when something isn't working for me...which happens a lot for me as I build my strength. She's been flexible with my schedule and offers extremely fair pricing. I feel so lucky to have found her!

I've been training at Whole Body Fitness since early 2013. A the time of writing this, in Fall…read more2014, I'm the fittest I've ever been in my (soon to be) thirty-eight years. I'm very happy about this. I had neglected my physical fitness for almost a decade and I was staring to see and feel it. I had never tried personal training before, but based on past experience, I knew that to make a long-term positive change in my fitness, I should seriously consider this option. When I first showed up, I discussed my goals with James, and he set me up with Brett as a personal trainer. Brett paid keen attention to my history and goals. At the time he left Portland, a year later, I was very happy with my increased fitness and confidence in my physical abilities. Brett and I also became friends. When Brett left, Tammie transitioned me over to Martin who was just starting there. At first I wasn't sure of this transition, as Martin's style differed from that of Brett's, but over the next few weeks I came to appreciate Martin's style of personal training. He too, paid keen attention to where I was coming from and what my goals were. I highly recommend him. When Brett or Martin weren't available occasionally, I trained with Tammie and Juniper. Those sessions were also great. I consider everyone at Whole Body Fitness to be very professional, knowledgeable, and thoughtful. Now, as I head out of Portland for extended travel, I'll miss training at Whole Body Fitness, but I expect that the habits and knowledge I've gained will support my fitness goals wherever I go.

I'm working with Brandon and he is slowly building me up to my potential. Brandon worked with me to learn what is right for me and I wanted a slow but steady approach. After the first week, I was hungry for nourishing foods like beef and spinach. I was a lot less moody and more confident. Second week, I surprised myself: was my younger self and younger muscles still there? She was and fighting! Third week clothes felt better, fit better, and long bike rides were easier for me. I'm so glad I did this for myself. Most of all, I'm glad I'm working out here because I truly do feel at home and fully challenged.
