| "I booked a training session with Heather when my daughter was 10 months old. I was overweight and depressed. I found it hard to want to work out. Heather showed me new and exciting ways to exercise properly. She spent time talking about my eating habits and offered many suggestions on how to improve them. After meeting with Heather I had a great new program and couldn't wait to work out. Now, thanks to Heather I am still happily working out and eating healthy and I am "30" pounds lighter!" -- Stephanie Pomeroy |
