"I’ve been dieting off and on since I was 12 years old. You name it, I’ve tried it. I always saw dieting as a punishment, and I was limited in what activities I could do because of my obesity.

From the moment I met Holly, I felt I was in the hands of a professional. I just knew that with Holly by my side, I could accomplish what I’ve been trying to do all my life; lose weight and stay healthy. Since starting with Holly, I have lost 34 pounds and 20 inches (7 inches off my waist).

Holly helps you stay focused on your goals for the future, not the dieting failures of the past. Holly showed me how to fit fitness in to my everyday life and that it’s never all or nothing, but often small steps that lead to obtaining long-term goals. I’ve learned that exercise isn’t something you do for a limited period of time just to obtain a goal, but that you can integrate it into your life and have it be enjoyable.

Because of Holly’s support and encouragement, I now have a belief in myself and can stay focused on my goals to lose weight and take care of myself. I look forward to the future with renewed enthusiasm knowing that Holly has, in a sense, saved my life. Yes, I’ve done the work to get there, but I could not have done it without her."

“In the nine months that I worked with Holly, I made major improvements in strength, endurance, flexibility, and balance. I reached my goal weight in July 2002 and have kept the weight off so far. My overall health has improved and I’m in the best shape I’ve ever been as an adult. I don’t think that it’s an exaggeration to say that Holly helped save my life.”

“After working with Holly for 10 weeks, I lost 6 3/4 inches overall. Holly helps me to focus, but she also doesn’t ‘beat me up’ if I have a setback. She’s real – I don’t feel intimidated when I’m around her. She tries to find exercises that I like to do, and she’s always willing to change something if I get bored.”
— Robyn Bradley, Framingham, MA
 
“After trying every fad diet known to man with nothing but short term results I was desperate. I even was to the point of considering gastro by-pass surgery. In order to avoid this type of drastic approach, I turned to Holly in an attempt to approach weight loss the healthy way. Holly quickly pointed out to me that this needed to be a total approach to fitness and not just a diet program. It needed to be a total lifestyle change. She set both weight and fitness goals that were achievable and improved my overall strength and endurance. As an example, when I started with Holly, I could barely walk ½ mile at a time. Today, I do at least a three mile walk a day and at a pace that is much faster than I ever dreamed I could do. After one year of working with Holly, I am down 100 lbs – and for the first time in a long time, feel that I can not only achieve my ultimate goal but maintain it. The only downside to working with Holly is you’ll never want to hear the words ‘Mississippi’ or ‘Albuquerque’ again. You’ll have to schedule time with her to know what that means!!!”

“Phone coaching with Holly has been a great experience for me. Our weekly calls are uplifting and motivating and have helped me achieve a higher level of fitness. Even though we are not able to meet in person, my workouts are never stale (or, always challenging). Holly provides me with lots of variety in my exercise routines and we make full use of the Internet to find exercises that will work best for me.”
— Geraldine Lewis, Appleton, WI
 
“I’ve struggled with weight problems for most of my life and eventually wound up with Diabetes. Even after taking oral medication, my A1C blood tests were too high. After working out with Holly for two months, my A1C test results were completely normal, as if I never had the disease. I lost over 11 inches. I feel great after losing the weight and gaining strength. I can climb steep hills and ski at 12,000 feet without feeling winded like I was before. Thank you, Holly.”
— Tim Thompson, Marlboro, MA
 
“Holly is a kind, enthusiastic, and motivational trainer. She is helpful to me in so many ways. She always comes up with new information and new exercises so I don’t get bored or disappointed with my workouts. I feel she truly cares about me as a person and wants only to help me succeed in my goals. She is also a lot of fun! I have learned so much from her in the six months we have worked together. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for personal help with weight loss and exercise. It really works!”
— Lori Zuroff, Sudbury, MA
 
“Since I started the weight training, I've noticed subtle changes, not only in muscle tone and the fit of my clothing, but also in general stamina.

Yesterday I went for a run with a friend. At the two mile mark, I was surprised that I wasn't ready to stop I merely felt warmed up. Today, I decided to go exploring by myself (with the dogs, of course), and I easily ran four miles. I came home because I wasn't sure my smaller dog could do much more (as I type this, she's comatose on the floor beside me). I could have done more.

It's amazing to me how thirty extra minutes 2-3 times a week can make such a difference!”
