Ilene, 69

Florida 

I’m a 69 year old grandmother. I live in Florida, have worked out with several trainers over the years, some good and others not. I met Emma through my daughter who lives in NYC and was working out with Emma as she tried to get back in shape following the birth of her first child.

Given that I live in Florida I wasn’t thinking about starting with someone that works and lives in New York but as I watched Emma in action and was going to be in NYC for awhile, I decided to give it a try. Emma asked me what my training goals were. I told her that I wanted to be strong enough to lift a growing baby and be able to have enough energy to be active enough to keep up with her. We spent our first session assessing my strength and endurance. Emma then tailor made 2-3 face to face workouts a week for me for the next 3 weeks.  Posture, correct techniques/progressions and safety were stressed during each warm-up, exercise session and cool down.  I gained strength as well as confidence and felt great, without hurting myself!

Emma had mentioned online training to me as our face to face training was winding down. She introduced me to an app called TrueCoach where she posts personalized workouts along with FABULOUS videos of her showing and explaining each exercise as well as the warm up and cool down. I saw that I could give her feedback on line and she could respond.  And I’m happy to say that it works great! It’s a great tool! I can also contact her if I need clarification or support. I have NEVER felt better about or had better results working out at home alone.  Emma is a trustworthy, creative, enthusiastic, skillful trainer and a pleasure to work with!
