I thought a personal trainer was something only rich people did, but now I know the truth!  Margaret is inspirational, always!  Knowing she is coming to the house on my schedule keeps me true to my regimen and I’ve never felt so good.  I actually look forward to working out!  It’s always different and so strengthening.  Margaret is very special. Try it!  you won’t be disappointed.  I’ve recommended her to all my friends.  She is helping me win my battle against gravity!

Warwick client’s testimonial

I love working with Margaret.  She is energetic but not too “peppy” or “militant.”  I would have not made it this far with a trainer who was either of those!  She keeps me motivated with her positive attitude and always varied work-out routine.  And somehow she comes up with effective exercises to do in what seems like should be far too small a space in my house!  I don’t have much open room space but Margaret is creative and adaptive.  Also, as a physician, my schedule can be complicated, but she has been flexible in her availability as well and has never let “there isn’t enough time” become an excuse I can use not to exercise.
 
I have been working with Margaret for about six months now. In that time I have lost weight and gained muscle definition.  Needless to say, I am very pleased with the results I see.  More than that I am very pleased with how I am feeling.  I am more energized, more confident, and seem to better handle daily stress.  I’m simply happier. 
 
I definitely highly recommend Margaret as a personal trainer.

Ready for my Wedding!

I started personal training with Margaret in March, 2008, having already lost 20 pounds on my own. My goals for training included weight loss, improve physical stature, but most importantly, I wanted to make the commitment to myself to getting healthy. I had fallen off the wagon for a few years and really wanted to get back to feeling like my old self. Oh yes, and to get in shape for my wedding.

It is now September2008, one week before the wedding, and I have lost 23 inches, 20 more pounds and 8% body fat.

My three sessions with Margaret are the best three hours of my week! It’s three hours where I don’t have to think about work or worry about the daily grind. It’s time when I do something for myself that makes me feel better both physically and mentally.

Working out with Margaret is always new and exciting. She always has a new trick up her sleeve to keep engaging and challenging me. What I love best though is Margaret’s approach to training and how easy she is to get along with-I absolutely adore her!

Margaret is as committed to my goals as I am and while I’m certain I’ll enjoy my wedding and honeymoon, I can’t wait to get back training!

Key Weight Loss Tips

Do the math on your quest for weight loss.  In order to lose one pound of fat (1 lb of fat is equal to 3500 calories), you will need to reduce your calories by 500 calories per day.  Keep in mind, you need to still eat enough calories to maintain organ function.  So, how about this:  eat 1500 calories per day via a balanced diet of lean protein and lots of vegetables, then get on the cardio machine or hit the road for a walk.
