Personal Training Testimonials
“I like to think I am a fairly fit person, but Patty has taken me entirely to another level. I am a person who likes to workout outdoors in such ways as Running, Swimming or other Cardio exercises that to me are more about functional muscle. I am not a guy who likes to lift heavy weights and stare at myself in a mirror. Patty is exactly what I needed and wanted. This is the first time I ever used a personal trainer, and I’m glad I found the right one. Patty pushes me to near breaking point and encourages me through the whole session. She’s sincere, motivating and a friend. She’s not out to make a dollar, she actually cares about your well-being. She teaches you breathing techniques and stretching techniques that will make you work harder and recover faster then ever before. If you want to reach real, achievable goals — and not get hurt trying to do it — go to Patty. She will take you there and push you further. She’s awesome!! I love her outdoor workouts, but even her indoor workouts are so diverse you will never get bored. I’d advise anyone to give her a try.” — David Diaz
“Patty is an awesome trainer. I first signed up with her just to get some new ideas about exercising, as I considered myself pretty fit. Patty gave me lots of new exercises and was right there to continue to make sure I was doing them correctly. She is very knowledgeable and encouraging. I have had such amazing results: down a size, feeling stronger, better posture, more flexible. I have had many, many positive comments from all different kinds of people! I am ready to train for life!” — Mary Lou Bannon
“Patty is an amazing personal trainer who designs a workout plan each individual client. Within just 3 weeks I lost 9 inches!!! She is encouraging and positive, but also manages to push me to continue to work harder and go for that last rep. Patty not only works with me during my one-on-one sessions, she is available by email and phone for constant assistance and support!” — Katie Gilligan
“Patty has helped me achieve my personal goals in a very small group setting. Her insights and ability to structure a very balanced workout is superb. She is now working one-on-one with my wife Bernadette to help her achieve her goals. We are delighted to have Patty’s expert help!” — David Miron
“I started working with Patty in January 2011. I have always been moderately active but really needed to get serious about losing weight and wanted help with strength training. Patty is knowledgeable in regards to both the physical and nourishing needs of your body. In the first month, I lost 7 pounds and 7 1/2 inches and fully expect to reach my goals. I find Patty to be personable and professional, and I highly recommend her!” — Cathy Wilson
“Patty is super nice but she also means business when it comes to working out and training right. I enjoyed my work-out sessions with her and really saw some great results. She made me keep a food log journal that we reviewed every week. Unfortunately, I got into an accident so my exercise routines are limited, which makes her ROM (range of motion) sessions super helpful and much needed! I highly recommend her!” — Corinna Hoffman
“I really appreciate that Patty took the time to evaluate my strengths and weaknesses. Everything we worked on I can do in the comfort of my own home which was my goal.” — Charlotte Cudd
ROM Therapy Testimonials
“Competing in triathlons and half marathons for 12 years has made deep stretching and flexibility crucial in my performance and recovery. I had neglected this need for many years; and foot, knee & lower back pain persists when I’m training for a race. I thought getting a deep tissue massage and doing a quick post workout stretch would do it, but I was wrong. One ROM therapy treatment with Patty made me feel flexible, refreshed and ready to workout! I can’t wait for my next session.” — Dee Jansen
“I wanted to improve my body movement and flexibility since I am a runner, while also releasing some of the tension in my legs that I was feeling. I saw results from my ROM session the same day. First, I felt way more relaxed throughout the day and got a great night’s sleep too! After the session my muscles felt the way they do after a massage AND a good workout at the same time. I am more flexible and a lot of the muscle and joint stiffness I was experiencing are way better, most surprisingly in my hips and lower back. I would recommend ROM to all of my friends, runners or not, to help improve overall health and enjoyment in life.” — Sarah Tibbetts
“Patty’s Range of Motion Therapy is sort of a mix between yoga and deep, yet gentle, assisted stretching. As a long distance runner, her ROM sessions have helped me overcome injuries in just days instead of weeks or months. Her knowledge of the body mixed with her patient assistance make my sessions with her invaluable for me.” — Scott Magdelain
“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. The stretching and “pretzeling” she put me through during a ROM session hurt in a good way, and I felt immediate relief at the end of the session. 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!” — Rick Lucas
“As a healthcare practitioner myself, I am responsible for helping people find their balance on both a physical and mental level. I see a diverse selection of clients, many of whom I am able to help find relief from pains and stresses; however, I tend to disregard the time-tested suggestion of ‘Physician, heal thyself’ and neglect to give myself the proper self-care. Working with Patty allowed me to discover my own trouble spots, muscular issues with range-of-motion (ROM) that I didn’t know I had. She is very knowledgeable and has developed what I feel is a very effective technique. Patty’s ROM Therapy helped to stretch me out and improve my own flexibility, and I look forward to scheduling more treatments to continue ROM improvement.” — Kenneth Panganiban, LMT, NMT
“Patty is great at what she does! She understands the human body, what it needs and what it is capable of. She practices what she teaches and is a great motivator.” — Joe Krier
“I was intrigued about Patty’s ROM sessions, since the stress of selling my business had generated much tension in my back and shoulders. Patty’s unique way of removing muscle tightness during a ROM session was much less painful than my prior experience with massages, and I felt loose and relaxed immediately by the end of the session. Because of the quality of her work, I intend to move on to more ROM sessions and also personal training.” — John Stinson

“As a Personal Trainer and Fitness Instructor, Patty is excellent – I have taken her Water Aerobics classes, Individual Personal Training and Group Fitness Training. Whether one has an injury, is already fit, has weight issues, or is a novice, Patty is able to customize a workout to their needs – each session is different and effective and tailored to specific issues. I learned to improve my rotator cuff problems through stretching and resistance; and also improved my use of weight equipment through better posture and balance. Patty makes my workout challenging, comprehensive and effective with a focus on my goals. She is a hands-on trainer and very knowledgeable on physiology, while still driving you to improve and not give up. I highly recommend Patty as a Personal Trainer.” — Angie Maisenberger
