Fitness and Personal Training Testimonials
“It's hard to cover all I'd like to say about working with MissFit Complete. As I am over 50 and have arthritis, finding the right in home trainer was important to me. MissFit Complete truly has been the complete solution for me! My Personal Trainer has a friendly, no stress approach to my work out sessions. She is better than going to your favorite hairdresser when you need to chat. I feel like we have become friends. But she is so much more that that. She’s wealth of knowledge about exercise and the human anatomy have done wonders for me.>/p>
When we started my goals were to hopefully regain good balance and to build strength to support my joints. It can be difficult to see advancements in such areas, but recently on a vacations trip with friends and family I had the opportunity to see clearly just how far my Trainer had taken me. On a four hour hiking trip we were required to cover some rather rough terrain, steep inclines, rocky climbs, forging streams with smooth rock bottoms. I found that I not only had more endurance than I expected but surprisingly felt more agile and balanced than the last time I'd attempted such maneuvers. And to my great delight felt I performed in these adverse condition considerable better than my friends who are each 15 years my junior!
My Personal Trainer and exercise (those two together) are a part of my life that I won't give up!”

"MissFit Complete has helped me in so many ways! I have learned how to eat correctly and am now confident with what and when I eat. I also feel so much better about the way I look and feel about my body. My personal trainer has been better than great. She keeps things interesting and personal to what I want, and that makes it fun!"

Me, being a person who knew what being physically active in the past meant, but not sure how to change the physical activity to adapt to my body's needs now, really needed guidance as to where to start and what exercises would be right for my needs. I was extremely happy to have you right along side me developing a program fit for me, watching my form, and encouraging me to stretch to do just one more.... I now am able to push myself now to do that "one more". Having you help me understand that starting slow with a program is ok, and that I didn't need to run out of the stating gates like a racing horse right away...a way to set yourself up for failure before you even start! I loved that you would change the program every so often to mix it up and challenge me more when I was ready. Having it all written down as a reference really made me feel confident that I could do the work out even without you there.

Weight Loss and Wellness Coaching Testimonials
Dear Katie,
Thank you so very much! I can't believe that I am at my lowest weight in 10 years. Today, I am at least 3 full sizes smaller than I was 6 months ago. I feel in control of my eating at last and I feel less fearful about regaining the weight I lost with each passing day. I have changed my eating habits and feel much more energetic and younger today than I did 10 years ago. I definitely feel very differently about food. I still enjoy all the foods I used to eat but today I eat less of them and enjoy smaller portions. I don't feel deprived at all but rather I feel powerful because I know how to make better food choices and am in more control of what and how much I eat everyday. I have learned to love new foods that I wouldn't even try before. I can't tell you how pleased and grateful I am for all you have done to help me achieve these goals.
I honestly think the coaching process is the best method I have ever used to lose weight and to get healthy. It is so positive. I never once felt ashamed or guilty throughout the process. It was such a different approach to weight loss. The focus was on healthy living, not self-reproach for being overweight or feeling out-of-control. It really made me want to learn more about healthy lifestyles and practice them. Everyday I feel that I am gaining more positive energy and a greater desire to eat better, exercise regularly and get healthy.
It isn't just the coaching process, of course. I also owe my success to you and your wonderful ability to support and guide others with gentle but consistent and firm encouragement. I felt accountable to you throughout the process, of course, in our weekly meetings and or phone conversations but I never once felt any judgmental attitudes or negative vibes from you. I looked forward to talking with you on regular basis. You helped to understand myself better and you affirmed me as a valuable and competent person. I felt that I could talk to you honestly and openly about my eating, my weight, and my health habits. Not only do you have the skills to be a lifestyle coach, you also have special gifts of compassion, empathy and integrity.
Thank you again, Katie. The Wellness Coaching process works! I recommend the program to all of my friends and acquaintances. Please do direct interested people to me. They can call me at my home or office, 414-423-0644(h) or 414-229-4995 (w). I am happy to share my experiences with them and to speak in support of this wonderful program and process.

I not only look healthier, but I feel more energy and I am so much more confident!! I know physically most people can see that I've changed (lost 25 pounds and really toned my muscles), but only you and I truly know the emotional and mental path that we have conquered. Thank you for all of the support and guidance you have given me. I know that I still have more to learn and will continue to grow through this wellness journey, but I have you to thank for the wonderful start to being "Maria" again. It's nice to be back!
Maria, Libertyville
