Kristie is an amazing trainer!!

I got matched through RightFit to Kristie. Immediately from our first trial session, I sensed the great chemistry between us and knew that we would work well together. I started off my personal training journey trying to be more apt in workouts without injuring myself. Eventually, not only was I able to achieve that, but I was also able to improve my strength, mobility, and come to love different types of workouts introduced by Kristie. A few things I love about working with Kristie: She was very knowledgeable. When I had questions about certain posture, she could always answer my questions. She was really good at customizing and adapting different workouts according to my body needs. These customizations and adaptations also made the workouts more fun and enjoyable. She was very professional. She always came prepared (be it virtual/in-person session), and was very good about keeping time/schedule. She focused on my growth and development. She would adjust her training and workouts every time according to my progress and preference. She also provided notes on workouts on top of my personal training sessions so that I could continue to progress beyond the PT sessions. She was very encouraging throughout my journey and really motivated me to keep trying and pushing for results. Overall, I really enjoyed working with Kristie during my fitness journey and felt very lucky to have connected with her on RightFit. I would recommend Kristie to any of my friends and families.

Love working with Gail!!

I feel so lucky and fortunate to have worked with Gail. I’ve had personal trainers before who were good, but Gail is a true superstar! She is extremely professional and has a vast knowledge of physiology that should qualify her as an MD. Her workouts are incredibly well-rounded so every muscle gets worked out including balance exercises. She knows how to push me to my limits, but not over exert so I’m not in pain the next day, like other trainers did. I very highly recommend her!

Andrew

I have been training with Andrew for over 2 years. Before training we did an assessment and also discussed both long and short term goals. I view Andrew more as a coach than a trainer, He will tell you the why’s of a specific exercise and he keeps the workouts fairly intense but not to the point of failure. He has done this a long time and is knowledgeable and can work with teen and those who are in their 60’s and beyond. I am confident I am stronger, have better balance and much less likely to sustain an injury during a workout or playing a sport.
