Barbara is the best of all the trainers I’ve ever worked with. She gives 100% attention, 100% empathy, and 100% of her extensive knowledge to me during each session. No distractions, no put downs, no ignoring details or requests. She designed each exercise program with close attention to my personal goals, deficits, and capabilities, Barbara is flexible and really fun to be with, but she’s also painstaking in her directions. She’s worked with me for about five years, focusing on my difficult back problems before and after spinal injury. I’m 71 and I owe my ability to stand and walk upright to her!

I’ve been working out consistently for nearly a decade and would describe my fitness level as advanced. Whenever I reach a plateau, I pick up the phone and call Barbara. No matter how hard I’ve been training, she improves my form, shows me new exercise and generally kicks my butt. I strongly recommend her to anyone!

Working out is a big part of my life. Staying on track and maintaining motivation is critical and that’s why I see Barbara. Her skill and commitment has helped me dramatically, not only with my body but also simply enjoying my time exercising. She continues to find new ways to challenge me and truly cares but I am getting the most out of my work out.

After 1 year of training with Barbara my overall physical fitness has improved noticeably. The tension and discomfort in my upper back and shoulders is going away; my balance is so improved that I can cross streets and move about without fear of losing my balance. My tummy looks better also. I am hopeful that the resistance exercises to strengthen my bones will keep them from crumbling like chalk. Barbara‘s exercise sessions are stimulating, fun, and some thing I always look to. I began working with Barbara a couple of years prior to the pandemic. During the pandemic we used Zoom to continue our sessions.

Barbara is creative, varying the challenging workout from week to week, all being fully aware of my physical limitations. She’s very pleasant to work with as well.

How did you get started teaching?

Formerly a social worker who worked with a pediatric AIDS population in hospital settings. Eventually I decided that I wanted to go from a profession that was mostly about death and dying to something that was more life affirming. I have exercised most of my adult life and decided to try the profession of personal training.

What types of students have you worked with?

I have worked with both men and women ages 30's through 80's. Weight loss, flexibility, strength training and balance. I have also done post rehab work with people that have had lower back, knee, and shoulder problems.

What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?

My advice would be that you work with someone with whom you feel comfortable. Someone who is experienced and responsible and can help you achieve your goals.
