I am a 48-year-old and I have been training with Charlotte for 2 ½ years now. With too many ups and downs to count, Charlotte helped me get results while going through cancer treatment. What an amazing trainer; she was able to help me achieve results even when I was sick from chemo and radiation as well as numerous other issues, i.e. hospital stays and surgeries. Now after 2 years, I finally feel good thanks in big part to Charlotte’s help. It takes a special person to have the knowledge that she does to be able to help a client with nutrition, training, and peace of mind while going through a major health crisis. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your help, Charlotte! And I look forward to great results in the future.

I have been training with Charlotte for the last 2 years! She is definitely one of the best trainers I have ever had! She helps me a lot with diet choices and has helped improve my range of motion after knee surgery. I can’t thank her enough for all she has helped me with! I would definitely recommend her!

I have been training with Jake for just about a year and it is absolutely the bright spot of my day. Every single session I have, I leave feeling significantly better than when I came in, a testament to both Jake himself and his training style. First coming to Jake after some health battles, I wanted to get back to my “old self”. I’ve far surpassed this and I feel physically stronger than ever! If an exercise aggravates an injury or ailment, he seamlessly adapts the exercise or switches it to something more comfortable. I consistently notice progress in both my appearance & strength; having my loved ones and those around me also notice these changes is the cherry on top of an incredible experience.

I’m not going to lie, when I started writing Charlotte about being my personal trainer, I didn’t even think I was being serious. She was inspiring to me, and I thought there’s no way in hell I’d be brave enough to go to a gym (let alone pay someone to watch me work out), but I went for it. I’ve never felt more comfortable and confident around someone so fast. This woman has me feeling like a whole new person. Sometimes it takes someone else’s views and words to make you realize your worth. Not only is she helping me create a healthy lifestyle, and making me move my body in ways I never thought I could, but I’ve felt 100X more confident in myself since starting with her. She is the most inspirational boss babe I know. Where has she been all my life? She is the best. Thank you is not enough.

It all started about a year ago. I was 52 years old, overweight, and out of shape. Today I am 53 years young and, fit, and fabulous. Being new to Northern Nevada, the first thing was to join a new gym. After much research, I found Charlotte and signed up for training. I found so much more than just a trainer, she is my HEALTH AND WELLNESS COACH! Down nearly 50 pounds and 9% body fat, I look forward to reaching the finish line with Charlotte’s continued coaching and support. For the first time in my memory, I am athletic with endless motivation to make this my new way of life and that means the world to me.

Growing up, I was always playing sports and lived an active lifestyle. When I was 20 years old that all changed when I had my thyroid removed because my doctor believed that I had thyroid cancer. I ended up being cancer-free but the thyroid hormone I took every day was not balanced with my body, so I gained weight extremely fast and had no energy to work out. After years of working with different doctors to try to balance my thyroid hormone levels, I was finally starting to feel more like myself, but with an extra 70 pounds on me. I began my weight loss journey in January of 2016 and was able to drop some weight on my own but in October of 2016, I decided to start change things up and join the gym. I immediately jumped in with a personal trainer which has been one of the best decisions I have ever made. Since I have been training with Charlotte, I feel like I am in the best shape of my life. I am eating better, I am stronger, and I am down 60 pounds since I first started my weight loss journey. My current goal is to continue building muscle and losing body fat. I am currently about 20 pounds from my goal weight and I am excited to have Charlotte helping me with my goals through the rest of my journey!

If you are looking for a personal trainer to not only help you reach your goals, but educate you in the process then look no further than Zach Hughes. I have been training with Zach for a little over a year and I have lost 80 pounds and counting.

I have gone through 3 different training goals with Zach. First I wanted to lose weight. Zach developed training and coached me through my eating habits. After I met that goal I wanted to train for a Firefighter Combat challenge. Zach was able to develop a very specific training program and help me get to a physical point where I felt I could do well in the challenge. After that I wanted to do some heavy weight lifting. Zach’s knowledge on the human anatomy and how it pertains to lifting is amazing. I have known Zach since 2015 and he has never stopped learning. He is constantly improving himself. I have recommended him as a trainer to my personal friends and family and would recommend him to anyone I meet.

I cannot thank you enough for what you’ve helped me accomplish. I could write a novel explaining all the ways you’ve helped me in all different aspects of my life. Being a young mom, I quickly lost myself. I don’t regret the years of focusing on raising my little human or being a good wife. But Charlotte helped me refocus on what matters the most, myself. Charlotte is not just a trainer. She isn’t there to beat you into shape, she’s there to help you make the changes where you need to change, where you WANT to change. I used to have anxiety of going to my sessions when I had fallen off the wagon, whether it was not eating or working out the way we had planned. But she never made me feel like I had failed. Instead, she would listen, work out a plan to keep moving forward, and continue to be my mentor to get me to that next milestone. She tailors your plan to you and your life, so you can be the best YOU that you can be. Because of Charlotte, I have developed healthy, maintainable habits that has led me to a happier active lifestyle. What more could I ask for in a coach? My son now emulates me, saying “I want to be strong like Mommy!” Easily the best money I’ve ever spent.

I don’t think it’s an overstatement to say that signing up for personal training with Charlotte changed my life…. While I have no plans to stop making gains with Charlotte, I’m satisfied with what I see in the mirror now. I fit comfortably in between a size 6 and 8. I don’t calculate and weigh everything I eat. I eat intuitively and don’t attach feelings to food anymore. A stressful day doesn’t turn into an evening of binge eating junk food any longer. A night of pizza with my kids doesn’t make me feel guilty or cause me to starve myself for the next day to make up for eating “badly” the night before… I have a very hectic life with kids and a demanding job, and I look forward to my time training with Charlotte each week to focus on myself and manage stress. I am in such a better physical and emotional place since starting my journey with her. She has been a phenomenal trainer, coach, and cheerleader throughout my process.

To go from imbalanced and overweight to flexible and toned, I thought achieving these goals seemed out of reach. But with Zach, it became attainable through time and effort. I now know how to eat and exercise properly and integrate lasting fitness habits into my life.

I don’t think it’s an overstatement to say that signing up for personal training with Charlotte changed my life. Before beginning my workouts with her, I had a completely different view of being healthy. My body image was tied to the scale and I weighed myself every day. My mood for the day was directly tied to what the number was each morning and my only goal was to lose weight. My routine had always been diet, cardio, fall of the wagon, give up, eat everything and quit working out. I was a master at yo-yo dieting and going to the gym 4 times a week for a couple of months and then being absent for a year. The clothes in my closet ranged from a size 6 to a size 14, and I could fit anywhere in that range depending on where I was in my cycle of dieting or gaining. My weight ranged anywhere from 140-165lbs. When I first sat down with Charlotte and she asked what my goals were, my only target was to be at 130lbs. She encouraged me to focus more on my total body fat percentage and explained that weight lifting would help burn fat and give my body a more lean, defined look. I agreed to go along with it since what I was doing clearly hadn’t worked for me. I’ve worked with Charlotte once a week for 15 months, and in that time, I’ve never had a bad workout or felt like it was redundant. Every workout she has known my limits better than I have. She knows how to keep the workouts new, which weight to select for me, and motivates me during the hardest of sets when I think I won’t be able to complete them. She is an expert at challenging me to the outer limits of my capabilities, but never pushes beyond them. In the 15 months I’ve been training with Charlotte, she has become a life coach aside from just a personal trainer. During our sessions we have talked about my obsession with the number on the scale and my eating habits. We identified triggers for my emotional eating and while I had been tracking everything I ate and weighing myself religiously, we concluded that those habits were leading to my unhealthy relationships with food. While that works for others, it was making me unhappy and ultimately setting me up for failure and leading to my cycle of falling off the wagon and gaining more weight. Charlotte was fantastic at listening and offering resources, guidance, patience, and encouragement throughout this process. I’ve had trainers in the past give me a strict diet plan and there was no tolerance of not sticking to it, regardless of my hunger or whether that plan worked for me. Charlotte never gave me a one-size-fits-all approach and expected me to conform. Instead, we explored my individual needs and struggles together, and she helped guide me with her extensive knowledge on training and nutrition. Since working with Charlotte, I can now say I have a healthy body image and a better relationship with food. There are whole months now where the only time I step on the scale is during my monthly weigh-in at the gym. Have I made it to 130lbs? Nope. Do I want to? Nope. While my weight since beginning with Charlotte has not fluctuated as much as I originally thought I wanted, my body composition has completely changed. At my highest point with Charlotte I weighed 159 lbs. My body fat percentage was 28.6% and my BMI was 26.5. As of 9/15/17, I weigh 147lbs. My body fat percentage is 25.8% and my BMI is 24.5. I have lost 7.5 inches overall and have muscle definition that has earned several compliments. While I have no plans to stop making gains with Charlotte, I’m satisfied with what I see in the mirror now. I fit comfortably in between a size 6 and 8. I don’t calculate and weigh everything I eat. I eat intuitively and don’t attach feelings to food anymore. A stressful day doesn’t turn into an evening of binge eating junk food any longer. A night of pizza with my kids doesn’t make me feel guilty or cause me to starve myself for the next day to make up for eating “badly” the night before. I have a very hectic life with kids and a demanding job, and I look forward to my time training with Charlotte each week to focus on myself and manage stress. I am in such a better physical and emotional place since starting my journey with her. She has been a phenomenal trainer, coach, and cheerleader throughout my process. With that said, I will always plan to be a work in progress and want to continue to work with her as I achieve goals and set more. I’m excited to see what else we can accomplish together in the coming year.
