Weight Loss Motivation —ringing in the Wedding Bells

Justyna — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 19:27:00 +0000

About 6 months ago I decided that it was time to change my lifestyle by exercising and losing weight so I joined the gym.
My first personal trainer was Justyna and she was amazing!! She pushed me to work harder than I ever had before. I really enjoyed our training sessions and felt as though each week I was constantly progressing and pushing myself farther. We worked together for about 9 weeks and during that time I felt myself growing stronger as I lost almost 15 lbs!!

Although I’m not training with Justyna anymore, I often go back to our old routines when I feel that I need some variety and I always feel great afterwards. I’ve continued to work out regularly and I’ve lost a total of 33lbs. I’m now within 5lbs of my goal weight!!

Thanks Justyna!!!

Family’s Escape into Healthier and Fitter Lifestyle

Justyna — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 02:07:44 +0000

I met Justyna in April 2008, when she offered an introductory fitness and nutrition assessment at my health club. Although I had always exercised regularly, I felt that I had hit a plateau and wasn’t happy with where I was in terms of my weight and overall fitness level. After meeting Justyna, I decided to sign up for 4 work-out sessions with her so that she could set me up on a resistance program that I could do on my own. But after those 4 sessions, I was hooked. I signed up for a few months of every-other-week sessions with her, which then turned into ongoing weekly sessions. I also convinced my husband, who was a runner but did not do resistance training, to give her a try and he now works with her every other week. It’s hard to explain how much of a positive impact Justyna has had on our lives. We both feel like our fitness level is the best in many years—we look and feel great. I have muscles that I never knew existed! Justyna has also helped us improve our nutrition, which has been a huge benefit to our whole family. Work-outs with Justyna are challenging but she has an amazing ability to motivate and push beyond what you think are your limits. She makes it fun because work-outs are always changing – you never get bored. I’m now a firm believer that working with a personal trainer regularly, particularly as you get older, is an essential part of overall health. I just turned 45 years old and my husband is almost 47 and we feel great (the attached pictures show us in Jamaica in Feb 2009). Justyna is always available to answer questions and offer suggestions, no matter what the health issue is. I would highly recommend Justyna to anyone who is seriously looking to improve their health and lifestyle.

Personal Training Shakes up Old Exercise Routines

Justyna — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 01:24:39 +0000

I have been training on a regular basis under Justyna’s watchful eye over the past 3 years.

In the 80′s I was an aerobic enthusiastic.
In the 90′s I was a step enthusiastic.
Turn of the century I thought I needed a change and some new motivation so I sought personal training.

Justyna was able to work with me and customize a program due to physical limitations relating to spinal surgery. She is able to make me push myself and I am now doing exercises I would never thought previously I was capable of completing and seeing great results. All without injury but sometimes with a little discomfort so it is wonderful that I can then book a shiatsu massage treatment with Justyna for a little relief.

Testimonial- Core and Stability Training for Golf!

Justyna — Sat, 02 Feb 2008 23:44:50 +0000

“For the last two years I have been going once a week for training
sessions with Justyna. I have strengthened my core and improved my
balance. My lower back used to give me severe problems and at times I would
have difficulty even walking. Now I can play 18 holes of golf carrying
my bag and do not have the same stiffness that used to affect me for a
few days after each round. Last July I played 54 holes in one day,
carrying my bag – no cart. I seem to be hitting my drives better too. Is
it my golf lessons, or is it the training? Probably both. I used to
wonder why people needed personal trainers. Not any more. At age 61, my
balance and strength have improved. Now, all I have to do is get back
on the treadmill to work on my aerobic capacity. Look out kids!

Thank you Justyna for making me push myself and to do the reps I
wouldn’t have done on my own.

Shiatsu helps a busy actor/director—sigh of relief

Justyna — Wed, 16 Jan 2008 17:57:28 +0000

Thank you so much for the wonderful, relaxing, and therapeutic shiatsu treatments that I got from you during my recent stay in Toronto. After searching all over town to find a massage that would help relieve the stress of our shooting schedule, I was very happy to discover you and the spa right around the corner from my apartment.

Your service was cordial, professional, relaxing and rejuvenating. Exceptional!

Hi Justyna,

Thanks again. Even though I had no significant problems to attend to, I still feel great after the treatment. A lot more balanced, relaxed, and…”lighter” somehow… – HW- January ’08
