Testimonials

The two things I’d miss most about New York City if I ever have to leave are the restaurants, and Charlotte! I have been working with her twice a week for about 9 months now, and the results have been amazing. I’ve noticed big improvements in the way my clothes fit, my daily energy level, and my stamina and strength when I got outside for runs. I appreciate the way Charlotte challenges me every session and the way she helps me improve my mind-body connection. Charlotte is so much more than just a trainer, and I’m so happy that I found her!

“At first I didn’t know what diastasis was. But after having two babies in seventeen months, I knew that SOMETHING about my abdomen was not right! I ended up just telling Charlotte, ‘I need to fix my divide!’ With some individual coaching, she taught me simple things that I could do to strengthen and heal my stomach muscles. I am seven months postpartum now and still have some work to do, but knowing that I can recover has encouraged me that I don’t have to give up on my body after babies!”

When I began working with Charlotte in the fall of 2006, my goal was to “get fit” – basically, I wanted to shed a few pounds and gain strength at the same time. I worked with Charlotte two days a week and she had me focus both on cardio and strength-training. I enjoyed both the workouts and Charlotte’s techniques/personality so much that when she transferred to a gym that was a 20-minute subway ride away (instead of the 10-minute walk I was used to), I followed her without hesitation. I even began private Pilates sessions with Charlotte, just to mix up my routine. Then I found out I was pregnant, and Charlotte helped me remain strong and fit throughout that entire pregnancy. When I was finally able to work out again, I definitely had a more specific goal in mind: lose the baby weight and get back to my pre-pregnancy body. Over the course of seven to eight months, not only did I get below my pre-pregnancy weight, but I was honestly in the best shape of my life at the age of 33. I felt healthy and strong, and there is absolutely no way I could have gotten to that place without Charlotte. She is truly a unique individual, and now that I am living across the country from her, I miss her, but hope that you join her on your road to “getting fit” – whatever that means for you.

“Charlotte worked with me through two of the biggest events of my life – my wedding and the birth of my first child. In addition to whipping my body into shape for the wedding, she provided me with wonderful prenatal training and gave me the confidence and motivation to stay connected to my body throughout the processes. I highly recommend her, not just for her skillful training but for her warm and personal encouragement.”

It’s funny, when I had the idea that I wanted to make some changes recently, I just figured that meant working out a little more. But, training with Charlotte is turning out to be more of a deeper holistic change – it feels good.

“I came to Charlotte with very vague fitness goals, which I’m guessing can be very frustrating for personal trainers. Instead of saying “I want arms like Michelle Obama,” I would say things like “I want to get strong.” What I appreciate so much about Charlotte is that she builds relationships, as much as she builds bodies. She takes the time to get to know her clients — what’s important to them, what motivates them, and what holds them back. And with that knowledge in mind, she crafts a fitness program that is comprehensive and holistic.
Hooray for Charlotte!”

“Training with Charlotte over the past three years has been a transformational experience leaving me confident, stronger and healthier. Most recently, Charlotte helped me reclaim my post-baby body through a combination of physical training and education. Charlotte taught me so much about the physical impact of pregnany and childbirth that I had never read in a book or heard from a doctor. She created a customized program to address the specific changes in my body that I was able to follow through on despite a very busy schedule that left little time for me!”
-Julie S

“As I sit here, enjoying the morning (with a still snoozing baby! 6:30pm-7am so far!), I just wanted to take a minute to say thank you for all of your help and support during these past few months. Your positive enthusiasm has made these transitional times so much less lonely and MUCH more comical.
I think you’re amazing at what you do and you have a truly fabulous attitude. I am honored to work with you and share in your career (and personal!) journey.”
