Testimonials

Gabby
"I was afraid to do many things, such as climb any stairs, step off a curb, walk more than a block, or go outside in snow or icy conditions. Learning correct balancing movements plus graduated exercises to strengthen the core muscles, I have now achieved confidence in all of those activities. I am no longer afraid that I will have a fall, but know that if I do, I would be able to get up on my own. All of this success is due to Erin’s inspiring leadership & guidance & I highly recommend her instructive classes!"

She came to my home and taught me how to exercise properly to regain my strength, both in my home and in the pool. Erin is extremely positive and highly trained. She is dedicated to improving the quality of life for seniors. I highly recommend her service."

I consulted Erin to ask for her help. She provided an assessment and an exercise routine designed to strengthen my core muscles and address my concerns. Following this routine, I found that within a few weeks the pain had subsided considerably and I could now drive without the constant presence of back and hip irritation. I have had a big improvement in my physical stamina and abilities. Thank you Erin!"

Dawn
"I have the pleasure of having Erin O'Brien as a fitness instructor in three classes weekly at the Kingston Seniors Centre. Her classes are well-organized and provide the opportunity to stretch/strengthen the important muscles and joints of the body. Erin varies the specific exercises from class to class while continuing to give them the same thorough explanation and attention to detail. When demonstrating an exercise, Erin explains the purpose of it and the muscles and joints involved. As well, she suggests a number of different levels so that the class is adaptable to each person's abilities.
I know that Erin is wholly committed to providing exercise programs for seniors, and in spite of her youth, she works very well with older people because of her pleasant and engaging personality, her wide knowledge of fitness and health, and her ability to perceive the particular needs of the people with whom she works."

I have been training with Erin for a year now. Erin designed a program for me, and watches me to make sure I'm doing it the right way. Every session Erin asks me how I feel, and modifies the program for that day to suit the needs of my body. I find this is very beneficial. Erin has a very contagious sense of optimism, and I find myself feeling better at the end of every session. Erin is very knowledgable, professional and highly qualified. She is also caring and takes pride in what she can help me achieve. I certainly recommend her to any friend who is looking for a personal trainer.
