Testimonials
“Training with Cindy could easily be one of the most important decisions you'll ever make in your life. I'm stronger not only physically, but also mentally and emotionally as well. Cindy has the uncanny ability to ‘read’ where you are on any given day and adjust your workout accordingly. Either way, I come away feeling 100% better than when I went it. Sometimes it's not about how much weight you can lift or how long you can hold a plank - sometimes it's just about keeping your life in balance - - and for that I'm very grateful. You'll be lucky to have her.”

“Training in Annapolis, MD with Cindy requires you to commit to a Life Style Change. Through FaceTime I work with Cindy twice a week on weight management and strength training. During the time working with Cindy you will find you have more energy and feel good about yourself. I am half way to my goal in my life style change. I know in continuing I will make it to goal. Thanks Cindy!”

“I have been working with Cindy for 4 yrs. I started at our community gym then when Cindy returned to Maine, we continued on FaceTime. I work out at home, no excuses not to attend. Through foot surgery and arthroscopic knee surgery Cindy has worked with me to maintain muscle strength. My program is individualized. I have gained muscle mass and lost at least 3 sizes. I have never regained any of the weight I have lost, thanks to Cindy!”
