“Holly is a literal blessing. At the end of every 1 on 1 personal training session with her I leave feeling accomplishment. If you're trying to find someone who will never waste your time, make your experience personalized to you, keep you on your toes, and will listen to you and your body, Holly is 100% your trainer!
Holly is extremely professional, knowledgeable, and kind. My experience going into personal training was absolutely nothing, but she continues to teach me and make me feel so supported.
If you're just beginning your fitness journey like I was, definitely work with Holly for an amazing experience.”
-Brittany, Nashville, TN
“I've trained with Holly for two years now! Before training with Holly, I was very nervous to work with a personal trainer. I felt extremely self conscious and quite frankly embarrassed that I allowed myself to get out of shape during the pandemic. After working out with Holly consistently, I can honestly say that I feel stronger mentally and physically. I am no longer self conscious and I feel strong. I know that the shift is due to Holly's one-on-one training. Holly is patient and knowledgeable. It's also clear that she tailors my workouts for my personal needs and does not give me things that could cause injury. I highly recommend Holly.”
-Isabel, Nashville, TN
“Holly is incredible!! She helped me train for my first half marathon and taught me so much! I was coming off of a foot injury and she got me to a place where I could run comfortably again! She helped me to get out of my head with numbers and focus more on how I feel. This way of running helped me appreciate the sport in a whole new way and made running more sustainable for me! Highly recommend Holly for any workout needs! She is so knowledgeable, but most importantly she is a kind and caring person!”
-Jessica, Nashville, TN
“Amazing trainer! Listens to your goals and customizes a plan to fit your specific needs. Would highly recommend!”
-Kathy, San Francisco, CA
“I had the absolute pleasure of training with Holly for the past 3 - 4 years. She has been a life changer for me. I couldn't make one lap around a track and the next thing I know I'm running my first half-marathon. In addition to her amazing training skills, Holly is a real human being. She is very passionate about health and wellness. She's kind and very patient. I'm turning 60 this year and I am in the best shape I have ever been in, not to mention feeling amazing. I am beyond grateful to Holly for her dedication and determination.”
-Julie, Leesburg, VA
“Holly's training style and approach is exceptional. No matter where you are in your fitness level, she manages to bring out the very best in you every time so that by the end of your session you feel like you've accomplished so much more than you ever thought possible, and then can't wait to do it again! Holly makes your personal goals her goals and she will design a workout and training plan just for you that shows you how to get there and then coaches and trains you the whole way. I've never met anyone in the fitness world like Holly, who makes working out and getting fit a lot of fun and feel so rewarding!”
-Milena, San Francisco, CA
“Training with Holly is an absolute pleasure! She is talented, committed, and motivating. Ensuring her exercises and sessions are tailored both to the individual and goals at hand, I so look forward to seeing her multiple times a week for a serious a$$ kicking. She is approachable, knowledgeable, and informative--wanting me to be comfortable but also be prepared to work incredibly hard. I find training with her to be both of body and mind since I am constantly reminded to work on both my internal dialogue and how I am working my body. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking to tackle any physical fitness goals.”
-Rich, Leesburg, VA
“Holly is INVESTED in my success. She is undeniably passionate about training and fitness, and her enthusiasm makes every session a win. Pulling from her background of dance, CrossFit, and endurance events/adventures, she keeps it interesting and fresh. I never feel like I'm in a rut, and that's very motivating, to me.”
-Andi, San Francisco, CA
“I trained with Holly for 3 years. She is that magical blend of hardass and soft touch that works so well for my personality! I'm not a boot camp kind of girl, so anyone yelling at me isn't going to see me ever again.
Holly's encouraging voice, coupled with her no-nonsense, take no prisoners approach is perfect. I never got away with a bad body position, especially if it made it easier to perform an action. She KNOWS.
I suffer from low back pain and was not a runner when I began training with her. I now run/walk 3.1 miles every week, with the goal of running that full 5K by the end of summer. And my back issues have improved over the course of our workouts. and because I'm stronger and know how to safely execute movements, I'm able to tackle weight training.
If you're looking to gain strength in a supportive environment, become a runner, or improve your athletic ability, I can't recommend Holly enough.”
