I thought training for a long race meant I should run long distances, Kelli has shown me otherwise. Since starting sprint training with Kelli I have seen significant time improvements to my 10K pace every week. At the start of track training my 10K time was 52:29, now my time is 44:43. I have also improved my 1200m time by 40 seconds, ran 800m in under 3 minutes and managed to run a 1:09 400m.

I can safely say that it is because of Kelli’s professionalism, enthusiasm and sheer level of personal fitness that I have seen these improvements. When you are a 6’2 male and you get beaten by a 5′ female, there is no limit to what can be achieved when your competitive nature kicks in!

I was introduced to Kelli through a friend who raved about the small group training classes. I loved the whole body work out days, a really intense and great way to finish a stressful work day. I had several shoulder injuries from years past and Kelli modified each exercise so I could build strength while not re-injuring my vulnerable shoulders. I also excel at cardio but am not very strong with weight lifting so I found the variety and the personalized direction with Kelli’s training extremely effective in getting me strong and in shape in a short amount of time (5 consecutive weeks). This was much different from what I envisioned personal training to be and I would recommend it to 3 main groups of people: former athletes trying to get back in shape; people who are intentional about losing weight and building muscle tone; and those training for an upcoming race. If you are not a natural athlete or have not done strength or gym training, you will not feel intimidated because Kelli creates a very welcoming and inclusive environment (while she makes you sweat).
