Be Envied Personal Training
Reviews
I have been training with Heather at Be Envied Personal Training for 8 months. My posture is markedly improved, I am firmer, much stronger, happier, increased my endurance tremendously and overall feel substantially better. She prepared me for a difficult hike to Cinque Terre where I was able to climb steep steps of stone for hours and keep up with experienced hikers. I would not have been prepared if it was not for Heather. I can now lift my 80pound old Irish Setter in my car. I use to struggle to put my luggage overhead in the airplane and now it is so easy. The sessions slip by as she is constantly changing the routine so I am never bored. I actually can use gym equipment and know she will watch me carefully so I am using the tools correctly. I completely endorse and trust Heather..she is the best! :-)
I cannot say enough about Heather and my experience working out with her. Heather is AMAZING! She pushes you to achieve what you did not think was possible, but does not push so much that you dread coming back for another training session like you may have felt working out with other trainers. In fact, I ALWAYS looked forward to my strength training days when I would work out with Heather. The time seemed to go by so quickly, and I never had to worry about whether or not I was doing the exercise correctly or if other people were looking at me (these are two things I would often worry about when working out on my own in a gym.) Not only does Heather make sure you are in correct form and doing the exercise correctly, she teaches you how YOU can tell if you are doing the exercise correctly. This is extremely important if your goal is to eventually be able to do strength training exercises on your own in a gym or at home. Because of Heather, I reached my goal much more efficiently than I would have on my own. She is extremely knowledgeable and creates a very individualized exercise and meal plan. She is very flexible if you need to miss a day and will reschedule you. Also, she did not charge me for the training session if I missed a day due to unforeseen circumstances. I am so grateful to her for helping me get on the right path, preparing me for my first 5K, and reaching a goal weight that I didn’t think I would ever see again. If I ever need to reach a new training goal, Heather will be the only person I call. I HIGHLY recommend her to individuals at any fitness level.
I really cannot say enough about Heather and her training! She is simply amazing! When I first came to her, I was a runner and long time exerciser (and former extremely overweight person), but I rarely did weight/resistance training. Also, I was in a stalled out routine. I was frustrated with my increasing weight and my self-devised training. Finding her was EXACTLY what I needed. She assessed me, came up with a resistance plan, a cardio plan (that wasn't JUST running), and a nutrition plan. I LOVED every session with her...even when I was tired, cranky, stressed out. After a session, I'd feel awesome and strong (and beautiful)! My weight went back down (I fit back in my pants I missed) and she helped me craft arms and shoulders I didn't know were in there! And, for the first time in my LIFE I did pushups on my TOES (which to me was the pinnacle of fitness). Heather makes training not only effective, but also fun. She mixes up EVERY workout so you never do the same routine. She takes all the thinking and planning out of it for you. She also watches your form to make sure you are using the correct muscles and getting the most from every move! Since I was the only person there during my time, she watched EVERYTHING! She holds you accountable, but in an encouraging way! She'll challenge you with the weights and be as excited as you are when you reach a new goal. I truly could go on for pages! When I moved, I had to leave her and it was one of the things that made that move super tough! If I could have moved her with me, I absolutely would in a heartbeat! The private studio is amazing if you are even a little self-conscious. It gives you the ability to grow and really challenge yourself! If you want to invest in yourself and find muscles you are SURE you don't have...go see her!!!
I was nervous to work with a personal trainer at first, it always seems so intimidating at the gym! But Heather is so much fun to work with and has a gym right in her home, so it's private. Heather works you to your maximum but I went from 220 lbs to 280 lbs in about three months! Best decision I've made!
I love working out with Heather! I have been working out with her for a few months now and look forward to every session we have. I am someone who has struggled with weight my entire life. I have lost quite a bit of weight on my own and needed someone to help my bust through my plateau and help me get to my goal weight for my wedding. Heather has come up with a personalized plan for me and I know I can do it! To tell you the truth, I hate working out, I just do it because I know it keeps my weight down. I usually stare at the clock while I am at the gym or in a class waiting for it to be over. This is not the case with Heather, every time I meet her it is a workout is different and she is constantly showing me new moves to engage my muscles. I feel like our 1 hour sessions fly by in 10 minutes. She has listened to my complaints about working out being boring and given me cardio sessions to do on my own and those fly by too!! Heather also gives you detailed meal plans each week! I have been to other trainers and no one has ever cared enough to do that! Her gym is relaxing and you do not need to feel self conscious about other people staring at you!!! I love it! And the best part of all? Heather does not gauge you with her prices. She is very affordable even in this tough economy! If you have been wanting to lose weight and feel better about yourself, you owe it to yourself to get started and reach out to Heather!
