Catherine W. says, "I have been training with Teresa for over three months and I’m stronger, smarter, and feel great about my body. She works with my schedule, is extremely motivational, fun, and encouraging, and extremely educated on multiple subjects within the fitness world. I work in a male-dominated industry that involved physical tasks like lifting and carry heavy objects. I told Teresa that my goals were to be able to do all the same tasks everyone else did with ease. She was able to understand my goals right away and started planning. I began doing strength training with weights and at first was intimidated by all the technique and the idea of lifting weights which always seemed out of reach for me. However Teresa is an excellent teacher when it comes to guiding me to proper technique and explaining how the muscles and body work, since I’m also very curious. Now I have muscle definition in my arms where I didn’t think I could have it (go triceps!) and I’m able to properly lift things at work, something that has saved my back a few times. I also always walk away having learned something else about the body. Teresa is a fantastic trainer that analyzes your goals and figures out to how propel you towards them. She manages to keep me motivated even during the final reps when I’m about to collapse. I highly recommend training with her."See more

Carlos O. says, "Setting up my first appointment with Steve was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. In the past, I had many problems and issues with my body (e.g. tennis elbow, wrist/grip issues, and other orthopedic problem). I didn’t have the knowledge nor the confidence to go to the gym without the fear of injuring myself from my physical limitations. However, Steve helped me resolve these issues by focusing on proper form in order to prevent injuries. He designed personalized routines that tailored to my condition and needs. After several weeks, I began to see significant improvements in my body such as gain in muscle mass and strength. Now, I’m able to finish any type of exercises/workout routines appropriately and accurately without injuring myself. I think the improved results from working with Steve spoke the most. Despite my physical limitations, I was able to successfully gain strength and stability without any problems. In fact, issues with my body (tennis elbow, wrist/grip issues, and orthopedic problem) have begun to disappear. At the same time, I was also able to lift heavier weights. I won’t be as strong as I am now without Steve. I have trained with Steve for almost six months now and I am planning to continue. The workout plans he designed and created for me were never boring and always appropriately scaled to my level of difficulty. I strongly believe that the quality of his training and his guidance on nutrition are the reasons why I am able to reach my fitness goals, and ultimately become a happier and stronger person. If you are looking for an authentic trainer, who really cares about you, is well educated, knows almost everything about how a body works, and understands nutrition, then Steve is your guy!

Q & A

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

What is a health coach?

A health coach is a service provider you can hire to help you realize your wellness goals. You can hire a health and wellness coach to guide you through life changes, keep you focused on weight loss or fitness goals, help boost your mental health, and more. Many health coaches work with their clients for set periods of time as the client moves toward a measurable goal. Wellness coaches come from varying backgrounds, and may have different areas of focus depending on their education and training. Research potential coaches by reading their reviews, researching their academic and personal backgrounds, and learning about any certifications they have earned from coaching institutes. Often, health and wellness coaches sell coaching packages ranging from three to six months or longer, depending on the client’s needs. The average national cost for an individual health coach session ranges from $60 to $90, although prices may range as low as $30 or up to $130 or more, depending on your location and the coach.

What is a holistic wellness coach?

When you want to reach new heights with your health and wellness, consider hiring a holistic wellness coach. Much like a health coach, a holistic wellness coach is focused on your well-being and meets with you in one-on-one sessions to help you identify and reach your targeted goals. A holistic wellness coach will typically have you take all components of your life into account when working to achieve your goals. If your goal is to lose weight, a holistic wellness coach will not only offer recommendations for your diet and exercise, but also discuss your emotional health, your work/life balance, your spiritual side, and each area of your life that affects your ability to follow a nutrition and fitness plan.

Although they are highly motivational and often can help clients achieve great results, holistic wellness coaches are not professional health care providers or registered dietitians. Different institutes and training centers provide certifications for holistic wellness coaching, so be sure to research your coach and read their reviews to understand more about their techniques and training.
