Be your partner’s biggest fan!

Wouldn’t it be nice to know that your partner is your biggest fan? When you accomplish a task, they tell you they’re proud of you. Even if you make a mistake, they tell you it’s okay and believe you can do better.

Even when you don’t feel you’ve done something well, they still express their appreciation for your effort and encourage you to keep up the good work. Wouldn’t all this make you feel good inside?

If it does, then be your partner’s biggest fan. Make them feel special in the way that you would like to feel. If you want your partner to be your biggest fan, be their biggest fan! Do this for each other. Just try it, and watch what happens to your relationship…

What people are saying

Penny takes great pride with every one of her clients. She utilizes her vast knowledge in wellness to create a personalized program that balances the right amount of mental coaching, strength training, cardio exercise and diet; tailored to meet the needs of each individual client.

Her programs are challenging yet enjoyable and she never fails to be there to support, encourage and celebrate her client’s wins.

In just 2 short months, not only did Penny coach me to adopt a healthier attitude about my self, she also got me into the best shape of my life. I dropped inches off my waist, hips and thighs all while lowering my body fat percentage and increasing my strength and endurance.

Not only am I buff as ever but I feel AWESOME! The effects of training with Penny and the new body that came with it have enhanced every aspect of my life - mind, body and soul. Even got myself a date – haven’t been on one in months! ☺

Thanks Penny for my healthy new attitude and body, and lifetime commitment to wellness!

I've always been self conscious and insecure about my body. Adding on top of that, there were a couple of relationships in my life that has lowered my self esteem and made me think that I didn't deserve to be beautiful, that I didn't deserve to be happy and that I didn't deserve to be loved.

Meeting Penny at one of her classes was a turning point that changed the way I felt about myself. Penny teaches in a way where you feel so empowered and just can't help but to proceed the class with all you've got and to be the best you can be.

I normally get super intimidated by instructors but Penny was different, the vibe I got from her was that she's approachable, friendly and sweet. So I got the courage to approach her and asked if she could be my trainer/coach. And then we started 6 weeks of intense training.

During those 6 weeks, Penny not only helped with my weight loss goals, she also suggested a very manageable meal plan for me and gave me advice filled with wisdom with my relationship issues.

She helped me track down the source of my weight gain and we worked from there. There were times where I fell off track and she would tell me that it's ok, just get right back on and don't be so hard on yourself, treat yourself the way you would treat someone you consider your little sister.

And slowly, I've learned to be kinder to myself, and that it's ok to not be 100% at times but just know your goal, and stay focused and disciplined after you fall and work 2x as hard to get back to where you were.

Because of Penny, I have now reached my goal weight. I feel so good in the body that I am in now and not just physically but emotionally I feel right to be in this body.

I feel lighter on my feet and I feel like I'm exuding out positive energy as well:) If you want a trainer that believes in you even when you didn't, that sees that inner potential and never gives up on you, then Penny's your girl.

Whether it be a serious life coaching, hard core training session where you'd want to cry cause it hurts so much but so good for you, or a 3x/wk 7am weight loss challenge, Penny would be there by your side as your friend, your coach and your trainer.

I had a great experience with Penny’s program! She is a high-energy instructor and knows how to keep a group motivated to take it to the next level!

She is knowledgeable and provided personal advice on eating plans, breathing techniques and cardio plans outside of the program. I had a fantastic time during the program and was thrilled with the results I received!

Thanks again Penny, you’ll be happy to know that I have lost another inch on my waist since the program!

I have been working-out for the past 5 years, and at first I was just losing weight, which was great, but then I hit what they call a plateau in weight loss. Even though I exercised every day, I still wasn't seeing any changes… and then Penny came along.

I took five classes in one week, different classes, kick-boxing, plyometrics (which became my two favorite classes) upper body, lower body, insane abs workouts (which I have never done before, being used to the traditional way of doing abs).

During classes whenever we are on a very short moment of breathing and resting time, Penny is always ready with a little suggestion on nutrition, I followed these suggestions.

And in one week, I managed to lose 7 pounds and am actually sleeping better, no more restless sleep.

Thank you Penny, you rock, can't wait to be back from vacation so I can get right back into it.

Working with Penny as our group coach was an absolute pleasure, she is upbeat and fun and was very aware of all of our needs. She always gave 100% and was very prompt in replying any email questions I had. It was wonderful being in her class; I felt extremely motivated.

Thanks Penny, I look forward to training with you one on one!
