Testimonials

"I have struggled with my weight for most of my life. Rebekka was the first person I've ever worked with to show me there was a different way to approach fitness - that it doesn't always have to be about chasing a different body but instead can be about celebrating the one you have! In every workout, every conversation, every meeting with Rebekka over the years that I worked with her, she would consistently check in not only with my physical health, but my mental and emotional health as well, which was crucial to my success.”

“In my time working with Rebekka, she encouraged me to learn about movement in a way like never before. She catered to my needs, which were not only to alleviate back pain (which our sessions did!), but to learn to enjoy moving my body and recognize when I was ready to push myself or when I needed more rest. She is not only a great instructor for safe and effective exercise, but a cheerleader for feeling good in your body. I miss our conversations between sets and the way her stretches made me feel so relaxed and ready for the day! I whole-heartedly recommend Rebekka to work with anyone who feels like they need more confidence exercising, to learn how to strengthen their bodies to help with certain pain, or just want someone awesome to workout with.”

“I’ve done a lot of personal training in my day, and no one comes close to Rebekka. I’m not just talking about the results, which are most certainly there, I’m talking about the trust and connection with someone who you know has your best self in mind. It’s not about pushing you as hard as they can, it’s about pushing you in all the right ways—without judgment and with a firm understanding of your limits and precisely when you can push beyond them (even on Zoom!). I love how Rebekka *listens.* She starts every session with, “How is your body feeling today?” and adjusts from there. When I started working out with Rebekka, I in fact had an injury and over time we repaired it with exercise and stretching. She is the full package.”

“Rebekka helped me a ton with restoring my relationship with exercise after a knee injury and unexpected weight gain. She taught me how to listen to my body for information. Before, I thought I needed to just “push myself” regardless of how my body felt. This mindset shift was a welcome and necessary change. Within a few weeks of our work together, I noticed an increase in strength which made me more open to additional forms of movement. I am now able to do my favorite form of exercise: running. I never thought I’d be able to run again, but here I am! I just did a 5k and have another coming up! I feel so proud of myself and grateful. I also notice that if I need rest days, I take them without any guilt. If you’re looking to get yourself back into exercise or just need to learn how to have a new relationship with it, I highly recommend her! She helps with body image as well. She’s great!”

“I am a 65-yr. old woman in a large body and have some mobility issues. Rebekka was sensitive to my limitations and during each session, kept checking to make sure I was exerting myself just the right amount, but not hurting. She paid close attention to form and execution and built in variety to include all muscle groups. I felt myself grow stronger even in the space of five weeks, and know that I will improve beyond that as I keep going. I am so glad I found Rebekka and that I decided to make the commitment!”

“I have worked with Rebekka for two years.  During that time, I found Rebekka to be a thoughtful, responsive, and creative coach.  She took the time to listen to my personal goals for my body and created exercise routines that were just what I had in mind.  She encouraged me, but also listened to me when I felt that something was not right.  When I had any aches and pains, she was open to switching up some of what she had planned to meet me where I was. She was consistent and attentive and it is clear that she has a deep understanding of the body, and also a respect for all bodies.  It has been a great experience working together!”

“Rebekka is a great coach. I’ve had the honor of knowing and working with her for almost a decade. She’s seen me through my struggles with weight, motivation, injuries and recovery. What I had enjoyed, I continue to enjoy because she is able to adapt to where I am in life and continue to challenge me and my physical abilities.”

“I was lucky enough to work with Rebekka for several years and it is hard to articulate just how impactful she is, both in terms of understanding and catering to your particular needs & desires (& fears...), but also in her crystal clear & compassionate communication style. I can honestly say she has evolved the way I view fitness & exercise, from something purely physical to something holistic--and even joyful!”

“Rebekka and I have been working together almost a year and a half and my 30-minute sessions twice a week have helped me so much. I found Rebekka while I was looking to find someone to take the decision fatigue out of movement for me and help me move my body more intentionally. I have worked with people in the past or used various programs but always felt like I was stuck in a diet culture cycle of not doing enough or dreading the movement. Rebekka checks in, challenges me but also makes it feel safe if I’m not up for a challenge that day, and continues to help me see how truly strong I have gotten even when it’s hard for me to believe. I truly look forward to my time with her and love how it has helped me prioritize my own strength and self care, which is critical as a parent.

“It's been 8 years since I met Rebekka. Since then she's been an exceptional coach and a cherished friend to me. She is more than a personal trainer; she is a personal coach who listens to understand where your motivation comes from, how you have approached wellness in the past, what success looks like for you, and then she will work with you to design a program of activity that helps you grow your emotional connection to your body.”

— CHRIS H.

 

“I met Rebekka when I was researching a fitness program that would help me transition away from marathon running. Making a significant change from running five days a week is difficult, and I had been shopping around for a program for over a year. Her approach to fitness appealed to me. She focused on my lifestyle and my fitness goals. I worked weekly with Rebekka for six months. Rebekkas’s holistic approach to health, nutrition, and fitness helped me achieve my goals. I was not a weight on a scale, a number of calories, or a max number of squats. Together we created an approach to health that I will use throughout my life.”

“I worked with Rebekka for a year and half. When I started training with Rebekka, I was eager to grow but struggling to focus. I was largely in my own way due to personal issues. I’ve always struggled with feeling insecure about my body and intimidated to take action. Rebekka was patient with me, allowing me to work at my own pace, to recognize my need for mental and physical guidance - mind, body and soul. It was a behavioral journey that transformed the way I believe in myself and how I relate to health and wellness in harmony with my physical training. She transformed my life. She cared for me. She believed in me. I’m honored to know her. Thank you, Rebekka, for changing my life.”
