“I was suffering with a stiff lower back for approximately 2 weeks and had made several visits to my chiropractor with no results. My wife was tired of hearing me complain about the pain and I was tired of hurting, so I contacted Patty. She recommended a ROM (range of motion) session. The stretching and “pretzeling” she put me through hurt in a good way and I felt immediate relief at the end of the session. During the stretching, she coached me through the critical deep breathing process which aided tremendously in loosening me up. I was thrilled that she was able to accomplish in one session what my chiropractor couldn’t in several appointments! Also, I highly recommend Patty’s park and beach workouts! They are tough, challenging, and awesome!”

“My personal goal for working out with Patty was to trim off a few pounds while toning and strengthening. Patty exceeded my expectations! She is not just a personal fitness instructor; she is an awesome motivator and healthly food advisor. She takes a genuine personal interest in helping her clients reach their goals. In just the first month of working out with her, I had learned several exercises that I could do on my own at home. She also gave me some tasty ideas and recipes to try that helped me change my poor eating habits into healthier ones. Patty gives a great stretch all the way from neck and shoulders to ankles and feet after each workout, which helps to relieve my muscle soreness after a hard workout! With Patty’s wide range of exercises that can be done at home, I have the convenience of working out on my own without the need of costly gyms. Thanks to Patty I now live a healthier lifestyle in both fitness and eating habits.”

“My initial objective when I signed up for personal training was to get a basic understanding of how to use various machines. I was also hoping that in just three sessions I would learn how to incorporate cardio into my workout routine to maximize my results. I had been a member of a gym for several years and during my regular workouts, had seen various trainers working with clients. I decided that I wanted to workout with someone that I felt would be a good fit for me. And then I found Patty Lim. In our initial meeting, Patty developed a preliminary workout plan for me based on what I stated were my desired results. As I shared with her, I was happy with my current size but felt I could get more muscle tone. Patty also inquired about my diet. This was a huge opportunity for me as I had not always been the healthiest of eaters. Together we worked on a plan that would work with my lifestyle and that I felt could work for me. Much to my surprise it not only worked, but it also helped me achieve goals beyond what I had thought I could accomplish. Patty challenges me with each and every workout. She has helped me to build my muscle tone, increase my strength, improve my core, balance, and overall fitness. I’ve lost countless inches and 15 lbs in just a few months. What is most amazing to me is not just the physical result, but how I feel overall. I used to suffer from chronic migranes, but since training with Patty, the migranes have nearly ceased to exist. It has been a true lifestyle change for me. Through Patty’s relentless commitment to my success I have found that I am healthier and more confident with who I am.”

“Training with Patty Lim was the wisest and best idea I have had in my “get healthy” program. I started with her aquatic fitness sessions, and noticed that Patty was both a caring and knowledgeable fitness trainer. She knew exactly what was necessary for a person my age: stretching, posture, and core work. Stretching with Patty was especially effective and therapeutic because my right hip was congenitally dislocated and then replaced when I was 47 years old. I discovered I was overprotecting those muscles all my life. At 65 years old and arthritic, I was limping and using a walker in the mornings before I began my program. Diet and exercise changed all that significantly, and training with Patty was the finishing touch. Working with her was always a positive experience and she intuitively knew how to challenge me just enough to make good progress. From the first ROM training session, I had significantly less pain and more flexibility. Now I will do my stretches and wake up literally pain free in the mornings. Patty Lim is an intelligent, professional trainer who really cares about her clients. This was also the best money I have ever spent!”

“I just want to express my appreciation for the excellent instruction and workouts Patty provides me with. It is so great to find a person that goes to great lengths like she does, to satisfy her clients’ needs. I know her success will show others that determination and old-fashion hard work is all it takes to reach your goal. So far I’ve lost 15 pounds and I’m already starting to show definition in my arms! Every time I leave a workout with her, I feel like a million bucks. Thank you Patty!”

“I am so delighted to have Patty as my trainer. I especially enjoy the Aquatics Fitness Training and the frequent change of each exercise because I never get bored. I have had moderate to severe knee arthritis and have been recommended for surgery. I used to need an electric cart to move around a store, but after just 8 months of Aqua Fitness with Patty, I never use the cart and am able to walk all around the stores. I now have no knee pain and am no longer considering knee surgery. Thank you so much Patty!”

“I thoroughly enjoy working out with Patty. I started Aqua Fitness training in August 2009 after 7 months of doing nothing. I was in such bad physical shape when I started with her, that I was literally on the verge of death. I couldn’t go anywhere without my rescue inhaler because I was so full of excess fluid that I wheezed when breathing. I could barely walk from a close parking spot at the store just to get into a motorized cart to do my shopping. My back constantly hurt from the 350 lbs I was carrying around. In just 3 months I have already dropped 32 lbs and 3 pants sizes! My stamina is great, I have no more wheezing, and I no longer need my inhaler. I no longer have back pain and I love to walk everywhere. I have more energy now to chase after my 4-year-old grandson and am loving life! I can literally see my body changing and am physically and emotionally stronger than ever. Patty is very personable and real. She truly cares about me and my health. She is a wonderful instructor and motivator, and has helped me change my life for the better. Thank you, Patty for your hard work and dedication to helping me become a healthier and more physically fit woman. I still have a long way to go, but with your help I know I can do it!”

“Before training with Patty, I recently had 2 knee surgeries and reached an unbelievable weight of 302 lbs. I was extremely self-conscious about my weight and how I felt about myself. After a lot of soul searching I decided it was time for me to do something about how I felt and looked, so I ordered a size 38 swim dress and started Aqua Fitness training with Patty. One of the great things about her, among many, is that she not only teaches, but challenges you to make your body stronger for you. Thanks to Patty, my confidence is higher, my body is stronger, and my swimdress is a size 28. I’m so grateful to her for giving the things I had lost, back to me 10 times over. Thank you again Patty, again and again!”

“Aqua Fitness training is perfect for someone like me. I have always been a high achiever but weight loss and exercise alluded me. I have looked for a program suited for me for many years and had not found success. The first week was really rough (I was sweating in the pool), and now each sequence is as natural as rain, and I adore working out. Of course when you have Patty as your trainer, even the most difficult move flows along eloquently. By the way, sometimes Patty is relentless, but I love her. I have never been involved in any activity that satisfies me the way working in the water does. Since I started training with Patty, I feel like a new and different person. After only 3 weeks, I was completely rejuvenated in mind, body, and spirit. I used to look for a quick fix weight loss. That is not the case now.. it is a total life fix. I look forward to and enjoy the constant and healthy lifestyle change Aqua Fitness training gives me for a happier life. Patty has done so much for me in such a short length of time. There is a tremendous improvement in my posture and balance. The program is structured and Patty is a very qualified and experienced professional. I am excited each time I have a session, even though the routine is demanding and faster paced than one would think, I find myself smiling sometimes because it just feels so right. Weight loss is very important to me, but it is nothing compared to the way I feel now. Thank you Patty for being my guide on this journey!”

“Being overweight and having foot issues, I never thought I could find an exercise routine that would work for me. I had been working on a balanced diet for months, but knew very little about different exercise methods, much less had anyone taken the time to show me how to breathe properly, utilize the equipment to its full potential, or most importantly, stretch. Well, that was until I met Patty. She is always very motivating, fun, and actually took the time to ask what my goals were and which areas I wanted to work that were important to me. She knew just how to nudge me to go farther than I would ever have on my own. I thought I would be sore, and regret working out, but I wasn’t. I now love exercising! Just because one is overweight doesn’t mean they don’t have goals or areas they’d like to target first. Patty understood what I wanted and needed. She encouraged me to go further than I thought I could and I have doubled my weight loss since I started working with her. I have more strength than ever and I may drag myself to a session (tired) but I always walk out energized. Patty is a huge God-send to me! I can’t thank her enough. Thanks Patty!”

“I retired from 26+ years of government service. Tipping the scales at 210lbs, my doctor said “Lose some weight, or it’s the Pearly Gate!” Jogging was too hard on my knees and lap swimming was just outright too boring for me. At my age, I needed another alternative. I started with Patty doing Aqua Fitness training and immediately loved it! I had FINALLY found a daily workout schedule to look forward to.. no more dreadville!
In the past 9 months, I have lost 35 lbs and now enjoy staying fit. Patty’s enthusiastic approach to physical fitness is both a reward and a blessing to all who attend, participate, and stay devoted to her program. Patty is a true role model of being and staying in shape. Thank you Patty!”
