Richard's Story
Update!!!!! Richard has been training with me for 15 years now! He is stronger than he has ever been and I can count on 1 hand the number of days he has missed. He committed to his health 15 years ago and has never looked back. Client: 47 year old male Inspiration: To lose weight, improve health, and increase overall strength Results: I have been working with Tricia for a year now and have lost 30 pounds, 4 inches off my waist and more importantly kept it off. I no longer have high cholesterol; I have increased my strength, endurance, coordination, built muscle and have more energy. the inspiration Before training with Tricia I had never participated in any events or races. In February I completed my first race the Blitz Snowshoe Fun Run a 4 km run in the mountains. My next goal is the Blitz Duathlon. A 4km run, 20km bike, 4km run. the program I started June 2009 and participate in three group training classes a week. The reason it works is that she keeps her classes challenging and varied and she wants you to succeed as much as you want to succeed. She will give you 110% to help you achieve the goals that you set out. I feel very fortunate to be under her guidance. the results

I have always been active and involved in soccer, hiking and running with long distance running more recently in the past 4 years. Tricia has persistently challenged me to add in appropriate cross training to improve my overall fitness and strength and to balance my muscle groups. I have been trying to improve my marathon time since my last personal best but always find that last 10 km drag me down. So I finally decided to listen to her!!

the program

I started in October ’08 with 2 cross training circuit sessions per week. Jan. ’09 when my training program for my next marathon started I increased to 3 cross training circuit sessions per week. Even with the 2 sessions per week I had already noticed a difference in my upper body and core strength (it was pretty pathetic when we first started!!)
In addition, when previously training for my marathons I had occasionally had knee pain and right foot and ankle pain but the strengthening of all the muscle groups in my legs abated this problem. |

"Thanks Tricia, for your persistence and incredibly challenging but fun programs. I’ll be sticking with the program as my next goal now is to qualify for Boston (I have to shave another 5 minutes off my time). But I feel confident that with your training and my running coaches training I can do it!" UPDATE September 6, 2009: I did it! I reached my goal of qualifying for Boston. Training three times a week with Tricia and completing my running program, I qualified for Boston in Sacramento with a time of 4:05.38. |

I was six feet and 200 pounds with my cholesterol climbing each year. My son was 14 years old, 6 foot 1 and 198 pounds. In the past, I had tried to get my son active in school and extracurricular activities but he showed no interest and would only stick with things for a few weeks.
I had to do something to get our health back on track. |

We trained with Tricia one hour twice a week with 30 minutes of cardiovascular exercise before each session. Tricia worked with us to define our goals and created a custom fitness program to ensure we would achieve them.
My son and I had different weaknesses, strengths, and past injuries - but Tricia's extensive knowledge and experience allowed her to adapt exercises to provide the safest and most effective training for both of us. Tricia really took an interest in helping my son to become confident in himself and to motivate him to continue finding physical activities he enjoyed and which kept him fit and healthy. She took him outside hiking, played tennis with him, and tried to encourage him to find other activities that he enjoyed. He began looking forward to going to the gym and no longer dreaded physical education class in school. |

In 6 months my son had lost 30 pounds and I had lost 15.
A year later, I lost a total of 30 pounds, my cholesterol level dropped and my overall health improved. My son had lost a total of 45 pounds, is participating in physical education at school and is being active on a regular basis. Tricia's training style of providing education and reasoning behind the exercises as well as her demanding attitude pushed us to our greatest potential. These are the reasons my son and I reached our goals and have continued to stay healthy and active. |

I was always active but after 2 kids, I was having troubles losing that excess baby weight. Eager to get back to my active lifestyle, I turned to Tricia to help me get started.

I had my first session on October 6th, 2008. We trained for an hour the first day and I was immediately excited about working towards my goals with Tricia. Although I have a few extra pounds to get rid of and may not look like the fittest individual, Tricia was not afraid to challenge me and make me sweat.
I purchased 24 sessions and train 3 times a weeks. On top of our 3 hours together I also do cardio on my own and pilates one time a week. 2 out of the 3 days that we meet we perform a full body workout with high intensity intervals interspersed and move from one exercise to the next keeping my heart rate high and burning more calories. One day a week we do a cardiovascular workout in order to get me closer to reaching my goal of running a 5km race. |
