ABOUT WORKING WITH ME

"Emily, I want to thank you for an amazing and challenging workout experience.

"I have learned so much from you and am excited to do new workout routines on my own. Your passion, dedication and positive attitude towards fitness is encouraging and contagious. You possess all of the qualities of an exceptional trainer. Thank you, Emily!"

"I am a 58 year old woman, who has been married for almost 40 years. I have 4 grown children and 8 grandchildren...and I have always struggled with my weight. This time I knew I needed more than just dieting so I asked Emily Beker if she'd be willing to work with me and to give me some pointers.

"After talking with Emily, it was clear I had two goals - to tone up muscles and to get help with weight loss. She came up with a plan with specific exercises that would help with what I needed.

"On a weekly basis, Emily taught me new exercises (sometimes doing them alongside me) and always made sure that my technique was correct. At the end of each session, she wrote up the exercises I had done so I could keep track and keep doing them on my own at home during the week.

"Every time I saw her, Emily was very supportive and encouraging. I made real progress and she always gave me just enough "push" to do a little more than I thought I could. From the first week, every part of my body from my head to my toes was being worked and I could feel it - and then it got easier as our sessions went along.

"Soon after starting, I could see results - firmer arms and the ability to do more for longer. Emily helped me see results and encouraged me with my efforts to do cardio, weights, and stretching, to increase my exercise plans, and to eat right. Working with Emily was just what I needed!"

I have a small build and went through menopause a number of years ago. Unfortunately, for the last few years, I've been losing bone density and have osteopenia, almost osteoporosis. I needed to do something, but I didn't want to use Fosamax, Boniva, or other such drugs if I could avoid it.

The books I've read and the doctors I've consulted all strongly recommend increasing Calcium and Vitamin D and doing weight-bearing exercises - but these exercises need to be carefully and correctly done to avoid injury and maximize results.

Initially, I was afraid to make a mistake so I tried a few exercises with 2 lb. and then 5 lb. weights, but it wasn't enough to make a difference. (I also wasn't really sure which moves were the best for maintaining strength and helping my bones.)

So I turned to Emily.

With her encouragement and coaching, I was able to use 10 lb. and 15 lb. weights in each hand (and do certain exercises with one 25 lb. weight). She showed me what to do, watched me with great care, gave me suggestions, and gave me confidence - and she never, ever pushed me to do more than I could.

What a difference!

Along with increasing my daily intake of Calcium and Vitamin D (as per my doctor's recommendations), I've done the weight-bearing exercises Emily taught me. And what seemed impossible now feels quite doable.

And here's the really good news: I just had my annual DXA bone density test. And instead of losing yet more bone density, I went up a significant amount! And this was without using Fosamax, Boniva, or the like.

So my bones improved. My body got more toned. And I have a plan - and a solid reason to hope. Thanks, Emily!

"I have had the pleasure of working out with Emily Beker over the past several months. She has been training me not only with my workouts but with proper technique, stretching, daily posture, and diet. As the weeks went by, my energy constantly increased and I feel amazing.

"I have been suffering from back pain which has been bothering me for years. My job requires me to be in positions not favorable to the body. She has successfully helped my posture and daily habits that has made my career more enjoyable while decreasing the chronic pain. Working with her has also been a stress relief from the daily mental and physical strains I endure on a day to day basis.

"One of the most exciting things she has done for me is finally give me definition in my arms. I've always had strong legs from playing sports in high school and college, but not until now have I seen my biceps and triceps in such a way.

"I love how Emily spends our time focusing on me and just me. She is very dedicated to my wants and goals while constantly pushing me to do better for myself. Emily is a great person to have in your life, not only as a trainer but as a mentor! "
