Sohee- Client Testimonial

When I think of my experience working with Noel, I can’t help but smile. During the few months that I had her as my trainer, she became more than just a trainer to me. I set up a journal on her forum shortly after signing up with her, and from there the journey began. Although I’d known her prior to working with her, I became better acquainted with her as she checked up on me regularly and always put a smile on my face.

I can recall so many times when I had a breakdown and shot her an email, telling her that I did not believe in myself. Once, back in September, I was having a particularly bad day. I felt that I would never get lean enough and that my body would never respond properly to the diet. I’d been following everything perfectly – the diet, the training, the cardio – and in my eyes, I still wasn’t seeing any changes. I was constantly bloated and had been becoming more and more despondent by the day. She gave me a huge reality check. Had I even checked out my comparison photos? Did I not see the changes I had made over the past couple of weeks? Apparently not. I really needed her words to smack me upside the head and get me to think clearly again. While I was frustrated and on the brink of giving up, she was levelheaded and supportive.

She greatly exceeded my expectations of her as a trainer. She always did much more than her job called for. My training and nutrition plans came quickly, her turn-arounds were rapid, and was always, always available to talk. I didn’t have very many people who would be willing to listen and really understand my worries. I wasn’t looking for pity or sympathy; I was looking for reality – and she brought it.

How Noel does everything she does and still manages to keep her head on straight, I will never know. Her enthusiasm and faith in me was infinite. Whatever training goals I had, she was right there behind me. She was always on my side no matter what. For that, I am so, so grateful.

Thank you, Noel, for brightening up my bitter days and always checking on me. You made me feel like not “just another client.” You will hear from me again soon!!
