Fitness is a very important part of my life. I have always been in shape and worked out, but never really thought I would have the courage to actually compete in a fitness/bodybuilding competition. It is one thing to work out and keep in shape and look good in your jeans, etc, but it is very different to be standing on a stage in front of almost 1000 people in almost next to nothing!! This was my thinking when I had my first consultation with Kerry. I wanted to be able to compete, but did I have the courage to do it? Did I really have what it takes? Well, Kerry told me I did. If I followed what she told me and was dedicated to my workouts and diet, I definitely could do this. The first thing that impressed me most about Kerry was the fact that she believed in me even more than I believed in myself. She gave me the knowledge and encouragement to believe in myself. She took me seriously and listened to me and understood what I wanted to do and how I wanted to change my body. Kerry has years of knowledge and experience when it comes to fitness and nutrition. She developed a fitness program just for me and my body. She also developed a diet that would work for me.

I spent many years trying to get certain results, but to no avail, didn't get just what I wanted. I understand now just how important diet is when it comes to bodybuilding, and how it can make all the difference in the results you get. I listened to Kerry and followed whatever she told me. I trusted her to get me to where I wanted to be. Even on the days when I felt like giving up, just knowing that she believed in me kept me going. The 16 weeks of training was a time of personal growth and many changes. I always appreciated all the support Kerry gave me. She knows what it takes to compete and how much of a sacrifice you make when you are training. She also understands the impact the training has on your family and was always there to listen to me when I felt tired or stressed. Kerry also kept encouraging me and telling me just how proud she was of me and this helped me to keep working out and follow the diet.

I am so grateful that I made the decision to hire Kerry as my personal trainer. I never really believed I would be standing on a stage, competing in a fitness competition, but I did do it. The day of the competition was everything Kerry told me it would be. I enjoyed every minut of it. I fit in and felt great about myself.

I believe the best thing I got out of this experience was knowledge in how to work out for my body and how to eat clean. I learned what it takes to compete, and that I can do it. I am so glad that I have had this experience. Kerry has helped me to believe in myself and she encouraged me to reach my dream of being able to get up on stage in front of everyone and compete.

Thank you so much Kerry for all you did for me. This is a lifetime experience that I will never forget. I am still using all the tips you gave me and keep up with my workouts. I now have a much better understanding of fitness and nutrition and will always be grateful for all you did for me.
