Nu-Rise Fitness

I contacted Bree after experiencing the rollercoaster of being on and off diet plans. I really liked the fact that she is a nutritionist as well as a fitness trainer. I am so glad that I reached out! The experience has been life changing to say the least. Not only is it about the weight coming off but also about how you feel and what your triggers are so that you can combat those habits that are non-serving to your ultimate goal. Her exercise app and check ins are also so beneficial and keeps you accountable. If you are interested in real change, Bree is the right choice!

I've been working with Bre and her Shine Strong Nutrition and Strength Training program for just over 30 days. We work out together (via Zoom for now) twice a week, and I fly solo and do workouts alone at home once/twice a week. She builds each workout that I do, whether in person or at home. She also builds my nutrition plan for me. She sets my macros, monitors my food intake through MyFitnessPal, and talks with me consistently about my choices and what we as a team think will work best for me. She shares tips on how to make better food choices when needed and above all else, we aim to honor my body, mind, and spirit. We still have two months to go in this program, but I'm sure I will continue to work with her beyond that. There are so many positive things I can say about Bre. Her work ethic is on point. She's professional, punctual, thorough, and knowledgeable. And, her interpersonal skills make this whole thing super easy. She's friendly, personable, supportive, positive, and kind. Bre's strength-training skills are literally redesigning my body from the inside out. I have been a 'cardio queen' for many years, that stopped working for me and I really needed help learning how to build muscle. For the past 30 days, Bre has guided me to strengthen my core and lift weights correctly to prevent injury and optimize results. And, she introduced me to HIIT Cardio. Yikes!! My favorite word for Bre's workouts? EFFECTIVE. I took before pictures a month ago and progress pics today. My butt is visibly lifted, much more round and solid. My legs are visibly stronger, my back is tighter, my upper body is more stacked looking, and I have the first sign of obliques for the first time in my life. I am so excited to see my pics at month 2. I can't write this review without mentioning that we (the country) are quarantined right now. Everything is very uncertain, emotional, and trying. Bre has shown up for me without skipping a beat. She has been kind and understanding when I've over-snacked to help comfort myself, she has taught me to have grace with myself and tells me that food is neither "good" nor "bad." She is coaching me to get back up day after day and keep my eye on the prize. Even through online workouts and with the minimal weights I have at home, Bre is helping me change my body and get stronger. For those who have the pleasure of working with her in the future, please know that she has a comprehensive gym at her location - with lots of fun stuff to use. I can't wait to get back there! For now, I'm learning SO much, and I'm so grateful. Especially during this time when being still could be disastrous. Thanks, Bre.

I’ve had the great pleasure of working with Bree for the last 7 months! We meet on Monday mornings and she writes 3 other work outs for me to do on my own at my gym. She also writes and tracks my nutrition via My Fitness Pal and provides me with feedback. I, like a lot of people, have spun my wheels on fad, extreme diets & have went through the cycle of mustering up motivation to work out, only to fall on my face and quit, countless times. I thought, if I could just knock myself into submission then I’ll finally have the healthy lifestyle I so desperately wanted all of my adult life. Realizing that wasn’t working for me, I decided to reach out to several trainers in the Sacramento area and I interviewed all of them. Bree and I had a 30 minute phone consultation at the end of May 2019. She jumps right in and asks the hard questions. “What’s your why”? “What are your short term and long term goals”? Naturally and thankfully, I decided to go with Bree! What I’ve gotten is so much more than just a trainer/nutritionist. She’s helped deconstruct my fixed mindset around eating and working out. She challenged me to be more creative with my meals. She figured out what makes me tick and she uses it to coach me better. Yes I’ve lost a lot of weight & inches and my lifting game is strong. But what I’ve really gained is a healthier mindset and balance that I had a complete mental block in front of for years. Bree is a power house & one of the hardest workers I know. She is constantly looking for ways to be a better Coach for her clients. The way she coached me on Day 1 is very different today. She doesn’t have a cookie cutter approach to her clients. It’s very much tailored to you and what inspires and motivates you. To be clear, I am a stubborn person to train. I don’t always listen and I struggle with consistency. Yet she keeps pushing me with positivity. Having a personal trainer is obviously not free. I happily pay Bree every month because it’s so dang worth it. If you’re considering hiring Bree but aren’t sure it’s worth it, ask yourself these questions. When is the last time you worked out 3-4 times a week consistently for months on end? When is the last time you had a positive, confident and healthy relationship with food? When is the last time you were free of shame surrounding your body and food? I can say the answer used to be “never” for me. I struggled for years and this is the first time I decided to invest in me. I very much look forward to my Monday mornings with Bree and I look forward to many many more.

I would recommend Bree to anyone who is seeking for a personable, professional, and motivational fitness trainer. She is well knowledge. She constructs workouts toward the goal you desire. Bree also takes priority to any concerns you may have regarding to past and/or current injuries to organize appropriate exercises that are safe and effective. She will educate you on nutritional values in foods and will teach you what you may or may not need for your body. I came to her not knowing anything fitness-related. Now, after three months with Bree, I have learned and created good habits for my personal health, fitness, and much more!

My experience with the 6 week strength series was outstanding!! I feel like I got so much more than I expected out of this. Breanna is a great mentor! She is excellent at coaching. The positive energy she has and support helped me focus and learn a lot about the strength I never knew I had.also, her nutrition lessons are great. I am still applying her nutrition goals we set up and is something that is easy and able to incorporate into my busy life!! Will definitely sign up for future strength series for sure!! :)
