“When it comes to working out, it’s a struggle to get into a routine and find workouts that work for you. I have tried starting to train on my own but I would feel like I’m in pain after a work out, and not the usual soreness you’re suppose to have, so I knew I was doing something wrong by just by looking at online videos and trying to do what the videos were telling me to do. I have a friend who is in school for physical therapy and loves to exercise, but when I decided to let her train me she pushed me too much and I pulled something in my arm and it made me not want to work out anymore. I met Bella at a serving job we worked at together and I knew she worked out a lot and I knew she knew what she was doing so I took her up on her offer to train with her and it was the best decision I could make. I explained to her my goals weren’t to loose wait but to get lean and feel good in my skin. I wanted to gain strength without getting a masculine figure and she knew exactly what to do with me. When training with her she showed me a wide range of exercises to target different muscle groups and most importantly critiqued me on how to properly execute the correct form so I would hurt myself. She explained to me to start with lower weights until I felt comfortable with my form and then increase the weight when it was getting easier because I was building muscle. She explained to me the benefits of each work out and made me feel safe and comfortable and eventually got me into a routine that I could stick to on my own and even started to enjoy. I started to love the gym and loved seeing the progress in my body from the way I  looked to the safety I felt as being a strong women. She didn’t only change me physically, but she showed me how the gym could improve my mental health too. When I was going through a 4 year relationship break up, my dad being sick, and dealing with intense school and a job, I was able to take a break and go to the gym for an hour or two and just work on myself and it made me overall happy with myself and became my safe place. Bella did that for me and I am grateful for that because, like I said, I have tried starting on my own, tried taking gym advice from a friend, and was at a point where I just didn’t like the gym or working out. I didn’t understand how much having the right person who really listens to your goals and desires could completely change my perspective and mindset on how taking care of myself helped me move forward in my life.”

“Bella was recommended by a friend when I saw how much weight they had lost but was still have a social life and able to eat the food they enjoyed. I very much enjoyed working out prior to joining but was never able to see my body change the way I wanted it to and didn’t understand why - I was putting the work in but the results were just not coming , with having such a busy profession it was hard to manage fitting in work out sessions daily . Bella helped create a workout plan that suited my busy life and a food plan of all the foods I enjoyed . I was still able to maintain to social life and enjoy the food / drinks I liked and still see the results with support and guidance . My overall strength and fitness has improved dramatically, I am now able to perform exercises I would never have attempted on my own.I have  gain some muscle size and reduced my body fat and mental and physical state has the the best it’s ever been. She such a great motivator and always encourages you to listen to your body!”
