TESTIMONIALS
Here's what clients have to say...
“I have been training with Thavy for nearly 3 years. One year ago, my training had to take a back seat when I had a major neurosurgery. After physical therapy, Thavy was my safe place to return to fitness! She is skilled at teaching different fitness levels at the same time; she helps me know when to push and when to hold back. She helps me understand how my muscles work together, so suddenly exercises that were difficult or would hurt my back, I can perform safely. Overall, my muscles are stronger, my neck, shoulders and back hurt less, and my functional movement foundation gives me the skills to enjoy other activities (rock climbing, tag with my kids, etc.).”

“I began working with Thavy six months ago. I had shoulder surgery a year ago and was hesitant to lift anything over five pounds. Thavy worked with me to improve my technique and form, always making sure I was doing movements safely and correctly. Today I can easily lift a 53 pound kettle bell! My shoulder and overall strength has greatly improved. Thavy truly cares about her students. She thoughtfully provides feedback, checks on me to ensure I’m ok after workouts and provides educational information, whether it be articles or training videos. I know I will continue to get stronger with Thavy as my coach.”

“After over one year of physical therapy to recover from a sports injury and car accident, I was referred to physical strengthening class, which is where I met Thavy. It was a very pleasant surprise to see a wide variety of students ranging from teenagers to seniors, all working at different paces and to see how Thavy accommodates the exercises to meet everyone’s needs. In the few months I have been in the class I noticed a lot of improvement in my day to day activities and my energy levels. I have regained strength and confidence on my sports, and to this date I have not aggravated any of my prior injuries. Her attention to details and ensuring that everyone is making progress while maintaining a safe environment is key.”

“I began working with Thavy about a year ago when I first attended her Functional Strength Class. From day one, Thavy worked with me to improve my technique and form, taking into account the parts of my body that were functionally limited from overuse and prior injury. Additionally, she provides educational articles and video training outside of class, as well as opportunities to gather socially as a community. Her heart for people and their personal fitness goals is expressed in all she does. Anyone who trains under her will come away with better form, technique, and strength.”

“I’ve been working with Thavy for many years. After having bad experiences with trainers in the past who have actually caused injuries, she’s been careful to make sure my form is always correct. This keeps me challenged but never in pain. She has helped me stay toned & maintain a more healthy lifestyle, which is invaluable.”

“I am a retired college professor, almost 69, and I have been exercising with Thavy in one-on-one sessions for several years. Thavy is fantastic at listening. This year I broke my wrist when I tripped at home. Instead of stopping my exercise for months, once it was deemed safe by my doctor, Thavy and I worked together on exercises that would keep my core, back and lower body strong while my wrist was healing . She is fantastic at tailoring exercise programs to meet a client’s needs and limitations. Plus, she’s kind and supportive. I feel safe and motivated working with her.“

“I’ve been training with Thavy for about a year now. Before I started with her, I did not have any experience/knowledge in strength training, only from watching DVDs at home. Thavy is very patient and extremely knowledgeable, she explains techniques to me in words that I would actually understand. I used to get sciatic pain on my lower right back/hip area & after just a couple of months of training with Thavy, I no longer have issues. I cannot recommend Thavy enough, she is one of the best out there!”
Helen
“I started training with Thavy two years ago. I knew nothing about kettlebells back then and, thanks to Thavy, I can now workout confidently with them on my own. Thavy really knows her stuff and I love that I learn something new every time I train with her. Her workouts are fun and effective. I’ve seen significant postitive changes in my body and avoided injury. She emphasizes safety and proper technique and has an amazing talent for seeing what needs to be corrected. I am grateful that I get to train with Thavy — her combination of enthusiasum, caring and expertise is a gift!”
Greta
“Thavy has been pivotal in enhancing my range of motion and overall mobility as a firefighter and paramedic. Her knowledge of correctional exercises has increased my ability to perform not just training movements but everyday actions. In combination with her clinical eye for proper and safe form my overall strength and conditioning has continued to improve dramatically.”

“Prior to training with Thavy, I had no experience with kettlebells or functional movements in general. She has been an invaluable instructor and has helped me achieve goals I didn’t even consider as a possibility. She devised strategies to stabilize and strengthen joint issues that I had and motivated me to keep going. Speaking as someone who was underweight beforehand, training with Thavy has put me at a healthy weight. If anyone wants to get started and is worried that they might not be ready, Thavy is the right trainer for you.”
Sawyer
“Thavy is awesome! She is knowledgeable, encouraging, and great at teaching kettlebell movements in a way that’s easy to understand. Thavy’s passion and excitement for kettlebell workouts is contagious – through a series of private lessons she helped me get back into working out with kettlebells and learn new skills. I would highly recommend her as an instructor to anyone – from beginners to more advanced students.”
Christina
“I met Thavy in 2017 when I started taking the functional strength class and the moment I saw her, I knew what a compassionate person she is. At the time, my posture was not optimal and I had shoulder pain. I also struggled to breathe properly which worsened my asthma symptoms. After taking private training and continuing with her group fitness class, I learned to breathe properly and began to see my posture, mobility, flexibility and strength improve. My lungs are much happier now. Thavy is health conscious not only for herself but she is genuinely concerned about everyone else as well.”
