The Fitness Joint

I love Nadine. She's really down-to-earth and relatable. As a trainer, she pushes us without being overly aggressive,and that's really motivating. We work out in small groups, and she tailors  the workout to each person's needs. I leave after the hour completely gross and sweaty, and she works me out hard!. After 4 weeks, my butt looks better! Can't wait to keep moving forward on my fitness journey with Nadine . More...

I moved to Arizona 11 months ago, leaving my trainer behind in Oregon. I was worried about finding the right fit again but the universe was listening. Two weeks after moving I was having dinner with friends and given Nadine's name and number. That is when my relationship with The Fitness Joint began. 10 months later I'm thrilled to say it was the best choice I could have made. I have lost inches, gained confidence, lost body fat percentage, and gained strength. She makes training fun, brutal, but fun. She has a way of encouraging you but also listening to your needs. She talks you through the moves to decide if it's the best one for you. She is always changing things up so boredom isn't an issue. I can not recommend The Fitness Joint enough. And did I mention the new gym space?!? You'll love it! Great environment, great trainer, and great results! More...

I am actually able to run without getting winded in the first minutes of running, which is something that i have never been able to do before. If you like have a hype man when working, then this is definitely the place for you.

Until this summer I had literally never worked out regularly in my life and had a lot of not-great feelings about my body. When I decided I was ready to make a real effort, I started looking for local gyms with affordable personal or small group training and relaxed, welcoming atmospheres. I couldn't be happier with what Nadine is doing with The Fitness Joint. She's great at drawing out more effort than you knew you had while respecting your limits. I'm always challenged but never overwhelmed or made to feel unsafe. After just a month I look better and, more importantly, I feel much less pathetic. Coming here is one of the best decisions I've made in years. More...

After years of disappointment with other personal trainers, I finally got results with Nadine. Did I lose weight? No. But I lost inches, which is more important. Your clothes don't lie! I could look even better if I were more fastidious about my diet and did extra cardio. (Current life circumstances prevent me from doing so. This is obviously not Nadine's fault.) Nadine is not only knowledgeable, she is kind and encouraging. And not the least bit pretentious. These qualities are hard to come by in the fitness industry. More...

Change can be incredibly difficult. When I moved here from Oregon 9 months ago, I was very unhappy where I was at health wise. I had just graduated from college and was weighing at 165lbs. I was always feeling tired, bloated, and weak. For almost 2 months without a job I tried working out on my own. Going on walks with my dog, doing 24 minute HIIT's here and there in my own home, but I wasn't feeling any stronger and wasn't seeing the changes I wanted to see. One day my mom came home from seeing a personal trainer. She told me I would love her and should give it a shot. I had never worked with a personal trainer before. I have been on countless sport teams up until college. I had done workouts with friends. Did a program called BBG my sophomore year of college, but never thought of going to a personal trainer. The first day I went to see Nadine, changed my life for the better. Don't get me wrong, the first day was hell. I could easily see me working out on my own hadn't done much at all after one workout with Nadine. But, I knew I found someone who would push me. So, I kept showing up. I have been seeing Nadine constantly 2-3 times a week for 7 months. I know weight matters to some, so I will share that I have dropped down to 145lbs. I HUGE factor in that is nutrition. Which I am 90% vegan. HOWEVER. I have never felt SO strong. The weight doesn't matter to me. The physical appearance doesn't matter to me. What does matter to me is the feeling of being STRONG. 7 months of hard work. 7 months of her pushing me to places I didn't know I could be pushed, and showing me I'm hella of a lot stronger than I ever thought I was. Nadine wants the best for her clients. If you let her work with you, push you outside your comfort zone, and let her show you how strong you can be, I promise you will not regret seeing this amazing trainer. More...

I started going to Nadine about a year ago - and id says it's one of the top 3 decisions I made in 2018. I was really amazed last summer when after only6 weeks of going to Nadine (and not always 3x a week, at that! ) that my clothes were fitting so much better and I had the flattest stomach I had ever had. Nadine taught me that the scale really doesn't matter - somehow I had put on 3 pounds of muscle but my clothes fit better and were looser! She reallyExcels at body recomp.I can't recommend her enough -- I took a long hiatus from working out and begrudgingly came back after I noticed my jeans were tighter than before... and she welcomed me with open arms and If you put the work in, you really do see results quickly. Her workouts are intense and hard and sometimes it hurts to laugh after for the next few days because your abs are so sore -- but rather than just getting a fitness trainer you really do make a friend. She's more than helpful in meal planning, and I don't see our sessions so much as a painful workout anymore (it's really not that painful but I've always hated working out) but as a means to catch up with a friend while building some muscle. She makes the world a better place by her personality and dedication, and you'll be thrilled by the results! More...

Nadine is awesome! I jsut recently started training with her and plan to continue for a while. After chatting with her for 5 minutes at my first session, it felt like she’s known me forever. She makes training fun and I look forward to each session. She will modify exercises based on your needs and skill level but also challenge you. She trains in a small group setting but the session is still tailored to your needs. It’s also been fun to get to know other people who train with her.

You may not know it by looking at me, but Nadine has done something I didn't think was possible anymore - she's given me real, noticeable and sustainable results!  Over a year ago, I realized that my weight was only going up, and I was heading the way of the generation before me - sedentary and full of aches and pains. I wanted to do something about it.  For the first three months, I tried weight watchers and cardio at the gym. Same thing I've been trying for years.  It helped....a little. I lost 10 lbs.  Then a friend reminded me that she had been going to Nadine awhile. It's my kind of gym - not overly flashy and real people with real lives, not gym rats who need to be seen and have multiple hours a day to spend at the gym.  I'm now down 40 lbs. But, I look even better (and this bragging is only for Nadine's benefit, not mine)! I fit into clothes I wore at 20 lbs less than where I am now (and promptly threw out, bc trends have moved on :) ), which is proof that I've not only lost weight, but I'm much more toned and fit.  She helped me hang with some much more fit people on the Seven Summit Challenge in November.  I'm running faster than I've ever run in my life, even when I was a skinny teenager.  I'm about 65% into my goals, which given the amount of time I've spent traveling and working in the last 10 months, is no less than a miracle. Nadine does a combo of all sorts of lifting, TRX (and I'm sure others that experts would know, but I just do what I'm told) and cardio and has a great attitude that you cannot miss. Seriously, I'm the whiniest, laziest, mouthiest person ever, but I'm still showing up two times a week and she still smiles when I walk in.  If you're looking for a normal person who can help you achieve extraordinary things, you need to be here. You'll have a new friend in Nadine and then pretty soon new friends who are there every week, just like you. And, if you need further proof, no less than 7 people came up to me at one of my employer's out of town offices last week and asked me what I've done to look so much better. Coworkers. Not friends, coworkers.  That's a different level!Come to the Fitness Joint! You're gonna love it. More...
