When I first approached Noel with what I wanted to do, she asked me many questions and we discussed my goals; which were to first lose the fat I had gained during a building phase I had done on my own; and then to build up my delts and glutes with a specialization. A couple of weeks after I received my first plan, she had more questions for me regarding the upcoming building phase. As the dieting phase was winding down, she asked even more questions and gave me even more ideas and options. I could tell from our discussions that she was doing a great deal of reading and researching, all for ME; I was so impressed and touched.
Over the next ten months, I received a new, and fun, plan every month. Noel challenged me in ways I had never been challenged before; she set some pretty lofty goals for me and believed that I would achieve those goals. And when I did, she was my biggest cheerleader. In addition, Noel always knew when I needed tough love and when I needed encouragement. When I had some sticking points with my dieting, she was so supportive and her first question to me was always “what can I do to help?” She answered my questions so promptly that I stopped emailing her at midnight, because I knew she’d respond right then! LOL She worked so hard on my meals plans to allow for a particular food I just HAD to have for Meal 1 and another food for post workout. She knew that I sometimes had time constraints and always gave me options on my training plans. Throughout the entire time I worked with Noel, she made me feel important and cared about. As a mother of two, as well as in my job, a big part of my role is taking care of others, so to feel that I had someone doing that for me meant the world to me.
I respect Noel for many reasons; an important one I have to mention is the fact that she had done every single exercise she ever put on my plans, so I knew she knew what I was going through! She is a trainer that knows from first-hand experience.
Noel, I cannot thank you enough for everything you’ve done for me. You have been an amazing coach and trainer, a teacher, a motivator, an inspiration, a head-smacker when I needed it LOL, and a great ego booster; all the while keeping me laughing my head off! I knew you had the knowledge and expertise, but your fantastic personality made this experience so rewarding and so much fun! You are a very special person, Noel, and I am so fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with you. I am thrilled with the improvements to my physique and my strength and I can’t wait to work together again in the future!
Here are a couple of comparison pics before and after but she weighs the exact same.
