I worked out with Nancy doing the Amazing 12 program and had great results. She has excellent knowledge of strength and cardio training. She took the time to develop a personalized program including diet that worked for my current level of fitness. Definitely one of the best trainers in DC.
Nancy has been my personal trainer for several years, which should indicate what I think of her. She is very knowledgeable about her craft, both cardio and weights. One of the best things about her is that she really works closely with what a client can do. When I started working out I had certain joints that were an issue and I (and an orthopaedic surgeon) had concerned I could injure them exercising. Over the course of several months, Nancy worked on the mobility and strength of those joints and the issue basically went away. With all of this, she's a nice and caring person and that really comes out in how she treats those she works with (or at least me).
I've worked with a few trainers over the last few years and none measure up to Nancy. She is amazing at what she does and I've seen great weight loss results. Nancy is understanding and sweet but will also keep you on track and accountable--a difficult balance! If you have a chance to work with her, take it. Thank you, Nancy!
