This review is for the physical therapy done by Kathy Tran only…read more She is very qualified and knowledgeable, and I highly recommend her. She was gentle and thorough and I left feeling like I made a very good decision in seeing her. I know she has been at this location for 15 years, which is right above the Newport Theater.

I recently started training with Kandace and I'm beyond thrilled that I found her! Her positive…read moreenergy is contagious and she pushes me without being belligerent. I recently gained a lot of weight and her guidance and expertise along with her kind and cheerful demeanor is just what I needed. She has a bright energy, reminding me to be patient with myself and to love my body during this transformation, but also to put in the hard work! Her extensive knowledge and inspiring attitude makes me excited to keep working out with her. I've seen many trainers over the years and she is by far the best! Her strong body is exceptional and it keeps me motivated to stay on track. She holds me accountable and inspires me to be my best self. It is clear that she truly cares about her clients, checking in to make sure I am sticking to my goals and holds me accountable even on the days when I don't see her! During our training sessions she provides excellent modeling, explains the importance of proper form and gives constant reminders and modifications for improvements. She varies up our routines and seems to know exactly what my body needs during each session. I always leave her feeling fabulous and energized. Kandace has an exquisitely beautiful disposition and a positive, growth mindset. I am so thankful I'm training with a high-quality fitness professional like her, she clearly knows what she is doing and she makes training fun and exciting!

I met G in early October when I responded to a post she made on next-door that spoke directly to me…read morein that exact moment. Entering that phase in a early 50 year-old woman's life, I was freaking out over having gained 10 pounds in less than six months with no end in sight of the scale continuing to go up. I had no idea what was happening, I had no control over the situation, I felt I was already eating as helpful as possible, I was very active playing tennis walking just taking care of my family. And all I could see was. a future where I ended up like my mom. so when her post came across next-door, I responded immediately and she got back to me immediately. We set up a consultation which was informative, and I immediately felt very confident in her, her specialty with women in my exact situation, her focus on not only strength training in increasing muscle mass increasing bone density, but also reviewing the nutritional inputs and converting how I think and have thought for very many years about what is healthy, eating, to be more macro based, and a totally different way than I feel we've been taught for years. I think one of the first rules she taught me was if you look at the calories of a serving and you look at the protein grams, add a 0 to the grams of protein and if it's not equal or higher than the calorie count, then it is not considered a high protein food. That was huge for me to hear, and a tool I could immediately use and I immediately was able to take that little piece of knowledge and put it into practice and totally changed the dynamic of how much protein I was eating and how to choose higher protein foods. She was able to keep my options simple enough for me to follow, while also providing me with just enough variety and wiggle room to allow me to maintain my comfort zone, while also making small adjustments here and there. For instance, I've kept my morning latte, but I changed the quantity of milk and the type of milk I'm using. And I have kids and a family to feed so I don't have all the time in the world to make special meals and weigh everything. So she was able to work with me to find the changes I could implement that would have the highest impact. And also take baby steps. Now for the good stuff, the workouts. Oh my FG. The workouts are killer. I started with one workout a week for one hour, and even though I had been doing a 20 minute strength training program for about a year before I met G, this was a completely different experience. This is not your weight training, strength training program from the 90s or early 2000s. This is a whole other type of beast. She may not make you barf, but she will make you cry! Lol ... in a good way. But everything is done very safely, she's very very knowledgeable in terms of form and spots you and or the equipment at all times. This is not a trainer who's on their phone while you're pushing out reps. She is 100% focused on you and what you're doing, making small form adjustments, counting down, words of encouragement, and a little lift here and there as required! The gym is also pretty great. If you go after 9:30 and I would assume before five, the place is practically empty. It's for personal trainers only, so there's always equipment and the quality is fantastic. Within two months, the weight started dropping, and my body started changing before my very eyes. I was comfortable wearing a bikini again over the Christmas holidays! And of course, as most people do, over the Christmas holidays I also ate a little bit more freely than I had been doing, but I kept my breakfasts very disciplined, and continued to go on walks, but for 2 1/2 weeks did not do any strength training., And I returned home weighing exactly the same amount as I did when I had left. I guess that's the power of muscle burning fat. So, being a glutton for punishment (but also because I wanted to charge up my results) I decided to add a second day to my workout plan. It is also easier too. One work out a week is so painful but 2 your body is ready for it and she can space out all the hard stuff a little more. Since then, I broke through my weight plateau and hit my first goal. Dropping those 10 lbs. And my strength has increased markedly, and my body has changed a lot! I can wear pants that I had given up on but kept anyway. I still have maybe 5 pounds to go to be at my ultimate goal weight. I've also lost about 5% points of body fat which is huge! And my physical transformation is huge. It's not even about weight now. It's about rebuilding muscle and maintaining a healthy and strong body as I head into the next phase of life! I highly highly recommend any woman who is in her early 40s mid 40s late 40s early 50s whatever, get your ass in gear girl and get moving and get lifting - you can control what is going on with your body you just need a coach, a mentor, a friend, and G is all of these things.

I discovered Glayol through a peer who shared her fitness journey, and I was impressed by her…read moreprogress. Because I'd been training for years, I'd wanted to be able to guide myself without outside help, but I kept hitting the same obstacles year after year. I decided to give coaching a try. I was also scared of being yelled at by the stereotypically rigid fitness coaches. I shut down when I'm constantly criticized, so I've been cautious about seeking more thorough advice. I'm happy to say that Glayol exceeded my expectations by conducting very thorough reviews on my lifestyle and goals, providing lots of positive reinforcement and encouragement, and educating me on the process throughout it all. I've been working remotely with Glayol on the starter plan for about 4 months. Before working with her, I was trying to do too many things at once and was kind of half good at all of them. I felt overwhelmed by online advice and struggled with consistency, focus, and mindset blocks like perfectionism and an all-or-nothing attitude that held me back. Glayol helped me simplify everything and gave me clear direction with an objective way to track whether I was improving, instead of just guessing. She tracks my progress in the gym and nutrition for me and answers all my questions, so I don't have to worry or get overwhelmed by the numbers. I also really like the coaching app, which is convenient and probably the best fitness app I've tried (MyFitnessPal pales in comparison). One of the biggest changes has been with my eating habits, I binge a lot less now and have learned practical ways to eat well even when traveling or in challenging situations. Also, I didn't even realize I was bloated almost every single day until I started implementing Glayol's nutrition guidance and began experiencing life without constant bloating. Glayol helped me work through mental blocks I didn't realize were holding me back, and that has made a huge difference in my confidence and motivation. For the first time, I feel like I'm building sustainable habits, gaining strength, and rebuilding trust with my body. The difference has been huge and so positive in such a short time. I'd highly recommend working with Glayol if you're feeling frustrated and overwhelmed in your fitness journey.

I'm new to Pilates and I have to say I've been really loving it. I tried Pilates here and there…read morebefore but it was nothing even close compared to the way Sira teaches. She is knowledgeable, supportive and encouraging. She's also thorough in her explanations of the exercises and her guidance throughout the session make me feel confident on the reformer. Every session is pleasant even though I get my butt-kicked doing the exercises lol. You can tell she really loves what she does. Beside that, her studio is intimate and vibe inviting. I can't find a negative thing to say even if I want to. I started taking private sessions with Sira about 6 weeks ago, I've notice my muscles are more defined, I can better engage my core and my posture has improved. Pilates and Sira are what my body has been waiting for all these years. It's a creative workout in a peaceful studio with a kind instructor who takes the time to get to know your body and your goals. Highly recommend!

Over time this helped me with my resistance training and getting toned. She's very helpful and caring about her clients and make sure you reach your goals. Her studio is very clean and COVID safe. I highly recommend her if you're a beginner/intermediate/or advanced. She craters everyone differently to their goals! So glad she's my trainer!

I have always been self conscious and intimated when I would go to the gym. I eventually canceled…read moremy membership and decided to invest on a trainer. However, I never had a trainer before but I knew not all trainers were the same so when I finally decided to take the plunge, I made sure to look at all my options. I was already following Michelle on IG for a while and even though she was a bit far from me, out of all the trainers I talked to, I felt confident going to her. Let me say that it was the best decision I have ever made hands down. The Babe Cave has everything plus more than a regular commercial gym. Michelle is kind and understanding. She has patience. She cares about your body goals and progress as well as making sure your form is correct. She has 10+ years of experience in fitness and thanks to her guidance I've already lost 40+ lbs since starting last year in August. Not only has training with Michelle helped my weight loss journey but it's been so therapeutic for me also. I recommend her 1000%. So if you're hesitating, this is your sign to take the leap, cause you will not regret it!

We Love Aftann!!! My daughter and I started training with her in September and will continue to do…read moreso! She is awesome We both had been going to The gym but Aftann takes it to a whole new level. I am 56 and want to stay strong, toned and help my bone density. Aftann knows what we want and challenges us at every workout!! I am much stronger and healthier with Aftann than if I do it on my own, which I know I can but I don't push myself on all the equipment. Plus we love her and really enjoy our time training with her. It's like training with a very positive knowledgeable best friend!!! My whole body is looking amazing and toned especially my arms.... no more saggy looking biceps or triceps!! Muscles!!! My daughter is 18 almost 19 and she models occasionally she's looking very hot these days! A Huge Thank You to Aftannfit!!!

Aftann is the best! I bought the FIT12 - Online fitness and nutrition program back in April and…read morehave no regrets! Before turning 51, I had been feeling sluggish, getting headaches and not fitting my clothes anymore. My gynecologist confirmed I was in peri menopause and that my weight gain was part of the package. She told me to workout more and eat less, but I was already working out 6x a week! I desperately needed direction for my food and my workouts. This was the first time working with an online trainer/training program, but Aftann made her meal/workout plans easy to follow. Yes, it was work on my part to make sure I was eating the right things and doing right the workouts. But once I was feeling better, more energized and seeing results, that gave me more motivation to keep going! Working out wasn't really my problem; if anything I wasn't resting enough! That saying "Abs are made in the kitchen" is VERY true. You can workout all day but if your food isn't on track, you won't lose weight/fat. I've learned that at the end of the day, it's about being mindful of what I ate and balancing it out. If I get side tracked I don't need to completely derail myself, give up and let myself spiral out of control. Now that I've lost the weight the right way, knowing what/how much I should be eating on a daily, I feel better about my approach to food. Thank you, Aftann!!l If you're on the fence about working with Aftann, JUST DO IT!! You won't regret it!

My husband has previously had a lower back injury and I have had complications related to cancer and Kai makes sure to guide us through workouts specifically for each of us. She has also been an incredible resource for nutrition and workouts we can complete at home. On top of all that, Kai is an incredible human being and one of my biggest cheerleaders as I battle cancer. When I first got my diagnosis I was extremely anemic, having a great amount of pain related to a mass on my hip and had to step away from the gym for a few months. Kai stayed in closet contact and even brought meals to my family's home, multiple times. We are now back in the gym with Kai and I'm so thankful to be a part of the Kai Boyer Fitness family! 110% recommend!

Tight clothing looks flattering on me now (something I used to be self-conscious about). She has also taught me so much about nutrition and macros, which is knowledge I had been lacking previously.
