  Cindy is a fantastic trainer. I've been working with her since fall 2019 on the recommendation of a friend. She has a special talent at seeing what an individual needs and coaching to that. She’s also very tuned in and professional - she’ll never ignore you while you do your reps. She's kept me accountable but also is supportive when I need it. I asked her to get me “strong as f*ck,” and she delivered!

  I started training with Cindy earlier this year to pick up where physical therapy left off with recovery from a shoulder surgery, along with trying to get some progress towards my fitness goals which have admittedly fallen to the wayside (see above, shoulder surgery). I have taken a lot of group classes, fitness classes, boot camps, etc., but Cindy has converted me towards personal training. She is fantastic, she strikes just the right balance of encouraging me while also pushing me to my best, whether I think I'm there or not. Also, she just has a ton of knowledge about everything you could ever want in personal training, from correct form, to appropriate workout routine, to even weekly diet. Cindy is definitely not a paint by the numbers trainer who throws a generic workout at you, then cheerleads. She tailors my workout to me based on how I'm feeling even on that day, along with reaching my actual goals (injury recovery), and I have thoroughly enjoyed my time with her.

  Ive been training for triathlons for many years and signed up for my first full Ironman which is a significant increase in mileage. Ive been struggling with some nagging knee and back issues that have often forced me to cancel races or miss training. Since I put a lot of mileage on my body, I know that strength training is necessary to get me to the starting line. Im pretty comfortable with body weight exercises at home but find the gym and weights intimidating still. So, I reached out to Cindy for her guidance after finding her videos on Instagram really helpful. I’ve worked with other trainers before and her attention to detail and technical knowledge are exceptional. I don’t want a textbook though so I really appreciate how she’s able to make things easy to understand and more importantly fun while still making progress in my training. She never sugarcoats things which helps me trust her more. I look forward to sessions with Cindy every week and appreciate how she’s constantly making improvements on herself as a coach and to her business and as a person. She is really passionate about having me understand why I am doing certain things and genuinely wants to help you succeed.

  I'd been playing sports or working out 4-5 days a week for years, but hadn't been very kind to my body in the process. For at least the last 3 years, I've been limping around with severe right knee pain. I'd sprint when playing sports over the weekend, my knee would throb and click all night and I'd have trouble stepping of a curb or jogging to catch the bus on Monday. Cindy helped me take a big step back, slow down, and address the assymetries that had been causing my pain. As a result, while there's still work to do, I am in much so much less pain. I'm beyond grateful. While everyone has different needs, my point is that Cindy is an expert at developing a program that's right for you. Then she has the humor, zest, and care to get you to love the process. Thank you, Cindy!

  Cindy is helpful, knowledgeable, understanding, and experienced. I am a rock climber with no experience in strength training or working out. After plateauing and getting injured, I made an appointment to see Cindy a month ago. She was highly recommended by my friends and she is also well known in the Bay Area for getting people strong! Before we started our session, she asked pertinent questions regarding my injuries, routines, and experience and immediately and insightfully pointed out major weaknesses, tight points, and holes in my general fitness routine. Cindy guided me through some exercises and lessons on dead lifting techniques, lunges, hip stretches that I can incorporated into my regular routine. She concisely, professionally explained, instructed, and demonstrated my set of exercises. She quickly made modifications that accommodated my physical limitations and my limited experience which I found extremely helpful. After the workout session, I was sore for three days! Since then, I have since added those lessons to my toolbox and I feel better with greater mobility and developing over neglected supporting and stabilizing muscle groups. I look forward to training here again soon.
