"When I first considered a personal trainer I had no idea what to expect. All I knew is that I hated exercising and dieting, but I was completely out of control and needed help. Elyse Jarard was recommended to me by someone who I trusted. Since my son is in physical fitness, I shared Elyse's credentials (he was very impressed) and I shared with him what I was told to expect. Again, he was impressed, but very suspicious. He was very determined that I should go to someone who knew what she was doing and had a lot of experience. He was aware of some of my physical problems and wanted to make sure the right person did the right thing by me.

After my first session, I called him and explained everything. He was very impressed and we discussed exactly what I did and what Elyse shared with me. From the very beginning, I started feeling better. The exercises were determined by my specific needs.

Diet was also discussed, but emphasis was always on 'proper' exercise. Elyse encouraged me either on the phone, at the lesson, or by e-mail. She was always in contact and worked with me when I felt I could not accomplish a certain skill.

I will always be indebted to Elyse. She has given me my strength back and has encouraged me when I needed it the most. By the way, I have lost 12 lbs. and have gone down one size. I plan to continue to work with her to meet all my goals which are to feel better and be physically fit."

Cancer Survivor

“After I almost lost my leg to cancer, I could barely walk and when I did I walked with a limp. After working out with Elyse for just a few weeks, my limp is almost gone and my leg is getting so much stronger and more flexible.

Training

I can't say enough good things about Elyse and her training capabilities! Her breadth of knowledge is amazing. Elyse provides excellent personalized care and attention and she has a strong commitment to help each client meet and exceed - her own personal goals. In addition, Elyse makes exercise fun! Whether you're a superior athlete or someone just getting started, Elyse can help you attain your goals!

Massage Therapy

Both Elyse and Jill have been a tremendous help to me. Elyse got me moving and exercising again after almost 2 years of cancer treatments. That was no small feat, but she started with just the right amount of exercise and encouragement so that I was able to keep going. When my muscles and neck got too tight, Jill's massage therapy took away the tightness in my neck and numbness in my hands. She's terrific - they both are! I highly recommend them!
