I trained with Jean for three months, she is super helpful and responsible while helping me with my weight training goal. She provided not just understandable instructions even for a beginner like me, she also helped me in any step during the process with many diet plans and most important--mental support. I love the optimism and energy she has all the time!
We trained at the apartment's gym, Jean is always punctual even comes earlier than our appointments. She prepared everything we need and adjust the training plan based on equipment. This is super helpful when I was training alone, I can still follow her routines.
I tried many ways of losing weight, Jean helped me overcome the platform and train more systematically. Many progresses are shown after two months, and I was not STARVELING! Even after training sessions were over, I can still follow her work out routine from Ins. I was happier to keep work out as a routine for my daily life!
I had a great time and with Jean and her amazing personality, hope you will do as well!

In short, Jean delivers on her promises. Our workout sessions are indeed making me lose weight, gain strength and boost my stamina.
Jean's flexibility and punctuality helped me commit despite my busy daily schedule. I never thought I can spare time to train, but she made it a reality.
She also answers my concerns and questions whenever I send her. Her positive attitude is making me enjoy our sessions and commit to training with her for the long term.

I was always a very active child, teenager and young adult. Since I moved to the US to start my medical residency 2.5 years ago, I progressively noticed that my lifestyle dramatically changed. I started spending many more hours sitting and typing in front of a computer, I stopped cooking as often I used to and gained some weight. The accompanying metal exhaustion and long hours at work further prevented me from going out for a walk, play my favorite sports or going to the gym. My knees started hurting and I developed muscle aches. I generally felt unwell, I felt not myself, I felt depressed. This summer I took the decision to change that. I needed to find my old energy, my old self. I started looking for a personaltrainer/lifestyle coach as I knew that I needed an experienced individual to help me start exercising without injuring myself and regain my life-balance. And I found Jean - randomly through thumbtack. I was very anxious in the beginning, but since we started working together, it felt great. We set personal goals, thoroughly discussed how to achieve them, and created a whole new schedule (including exercise and diet). Jean always listened very carefully my concerns and did above and beyond to make things work. Three plus months after I feel a whole different person, I have adopted a new routine, and I have incorporated exercise to my everyday life (no more excuses about my busy hospital schedule). I am able to complete very demanding cardio and weightlifting workouts (which I never thought I would). FYI: I had always been hesitant in the past about weightlifting as I thought it might injure my back or cause worsening muscle aches, but working with Jean completely changed my mind. I have gained a lot of strength and energy; I have started building muscle and losing weight. I can’t wait to see all the progress I‘ll continue making as I keep working with Jean!

When I first started out with Jean I was very self-conscious about my body and lacked confidence. I was upset and frustrated with myself for not looking the way I desired. After working with Jean I have gained some confidence and realized that I’m perfect the way I am and that’s it’s okay to want to improve yourself! Jean definitely made the whole experience feel as if you were not by yourself as she was always there rooting for you to improve on not only your physical goals but your mental ones as well! I very much enjoyed working with Jean and am certain that everybody else she has worked with would say the same thing!

I've worked with Jean for about 6 months, as both a Health & Wellness Coach and as a PersonalTrainer. Our goal was to move me towards a sustainable overall healthy lifestyle, making weight and strength progress along the way. Coaching has largely focused around eating, addressing my long-held emotional food challenges. Training has largely focused around a balanced approach to cardio and strength training. In all, Jean has supported me in getting to a much better place. I'm happy to give Jean all the credit for the Goldilocks approach I now have towards food and exercise - in both, I'm striving for just the right amount - not too much, not too little - with the goal to maintain it forever, and to maintain and improve overall health along the way.
I've tried to get here many other ways, over a long period of time, but I have achieved more with Jean in 6 months than with any prior person or program. Why? Jean is well trained, wise beyond her years (she's like half my age!), and takes a balanced, realistic approach to progress, focusing on long-term sustainability rather than short-term unsustainable gains. She's fun to work with, is always smiling, and is a compassionate coach who's willing to share her own prior and ongoing challenges, and successes, in some of these same areas. My journey isn't over, it probably never will be, but Jean's skills, and the strategies she's provided me, have moved me faster and further towards my goals that I ever thought possible!
