This is the perfect place to go if you are looking for a one-on-one experience. I have seen more improvement in my physical appearance and overall strength than I was ever expecting. The personal trainer here will make sure you are comfortable with what your body can do and will adjust the working accordingly. Every week is a bit different as well to make sure that I continue to progress with my workout. I Highly recommend. This place has the equipment too so don't get sucked in by the larger gyms before trying this place first. More...

Germana challenges me with appropriate exercises all the while analyzing my areas of weakness. At the end of my workouts, I feel WORKED OUT! But I have been injury free and am getting stronger. And she is playful! Germana’s positive attitude is contagious—movements I had thought were impossible have become fluid and natural. Thank-you Germana. More...

I signed a contract for a series of consultations and weight training sessions. After a few sessions I experienced pain in both knees. During my last two sessions I complained about the pain and the "clicking" noise in my knees was quite noticeable. Germana said I should just "work through" the pain and did not suggest any modification in the exercises she required me to do, even when I complained about the pain. I knees were so painful that I postponed my last two sessions. After a couple of weeks the pain persisted so I decided to cancel the last two sessions, at which point Germana suggested she could modify the exercised. Why she didn't modify them when I complained about the pain before it got this bad remains a mystery. When I cancelled in writing I suggested that morally she should reimburse me for the last two sessions, since the exercises she had me do were what had obviously caused my knee problems. No surprise - she replied saying "you signed a contract". I guess it escaped her attention that I said "morally" she should reimburse me, not "legally" she should. So much for morals. The problems with my knees continue after 4 months away. More...
