Praise for my work
Nathalie takes a holistic approach to her client’s training. She has challenged me to excel physically, as well as mentally. I have worked with Nathalie for almost 3 years. Nathalie’s commitment to the well-being of her clients is her top priority.
Since training with Nathalie, my health has made dramatic improvements.
Nathalie initially did an assessment that clearly illustrated the weak points in my physical condition. The resulting training programs she proposed combined very effectively the result of this assessment with my own training objectives. I was able to learn many new training techniques that made my workouts actually much more enjoyable and less repetitive. Nathalie is fun to work with and one can clearly see the tremendous experience she has in the way she develops the training and support you during the process. I recommend Nathalie to anyone who is serious about improving its physical condition.
I have been training with Nathalie Abellan for about 1 ½ years now. Nathalie brings a tremendous amount of knowledge and experience to each of my training sessions. Beyond the typical training regimen, Nathalie is able to provide advice on wellness, nutrition and stress reduction. Nathalie is known for being a tough, disciplined trainer (which is what I need); however, not many people know about her great sense of humor, which helps to keep my mind off those drop sets!
When I decided to start training I had one goal—to lose weight. Little did I know that when Nathalie offered to help me, I would begin an incredible journey.
At first, I was scared and intimated training with her. She had me using weights and doing exercises that I had not done before. She chipped away at every preconceived notion I had about why I couldn’t do a particular exercise. Shortly after starting to train with Nathalie, I started seeing results. I had two foot surgeries and throughout the recovery time we kept training. “She will not let you give up when she knows you can do something.” Now I look forward to my training with Nathalie. Her sessions are always different and always a challenge, never boring. I have lost a lot of weight and a lot of inches, but I have gained so much more—strength, stamina, flexibility, better posture, self-esteem and most importantly better health. Everyone asks, “What’s your secret?” I have one answer, “Nathalie!”
Initially, I began training with Nathalie figuring that I would use the 2 free sessions I received for signing up at my gym and that would be the end. I figured that having played competitive sports the better part of my life I knew all I needed to know about lifting and stretching, but not ten minutes in to my first session I knew I was wrong. More than a year and a half later I still meet with Nathalie at least once a week. Due to her training guidance, I am more than 30 lbs lighter than before I started yet far stronger and more importantly I am in much better cardiovascular health. Her knowledge and emphasis on stretching and muscle balance has enabled me to avoid re-aggravating my old knee, ankle and shoulder injuries that have plagued me for years and enable me to cycle and run on a consistent basis. I notice a difference in myself when I am not able to train with her so I am certain that I will continue my regiment.
Nathalie puts the “personal” in personal training! When training with Nathalie, you can be assured her focus is 100% on you as she keeps your individual goals and fitness level in mind. Every session is new, customized and preplanned. I leave every workout with Nathalie knowing my time and money have been well invested.
Nathalie’s encouragement, humor, and smiles make even the most challenging sessions a positive experience. Nathalie has pushed me to limits I never thought possible; she truly is my “personal” trainer.
I have worked with Nathalie for nearly three years now. During that time I have seen both my strength and endurance increase, while I have lost over 30 lbs and nearly 18% body fat. She is truly an amazing trainer and brings not only high energy, knowledge, and encouragement to the process but also a great spiritual connection and positive personal energy. I have thoroughly enjoyed our time together and while she is tough, she also is a great judge of the individual’s personal limits and adjusts the sessions to maximize workout.
I began training with Nathalie 2 years ago and what a difference this experience has made in my life. Not only is she incredibly knowledgeable, but she is so in tuned with how to work the various areas of the body to achieve maximum results. My stamina has continued to increase and that’s all thanks to her, as there’s no way I would push myself to the limits she does. What’s even more amazing is that I’m smiling the entire time. Nathalie is such a wonderful motivator and is truly inspiring.
I appreciate the opportunity to comment on my training experience with Nathalie Abellan. Let me start by saying I have never felt stronger, healthier or more fit in my life. When I came to work with Nathalie, I had not worked out in a long time and had lost strength, muscle tone and overall fitness. She developed a program for me that keeps me constantly challenged and never bored. Every session is different….even going twice a week….and I consistently find that I am capable of so much more than I ever imagined. Nathalie pushes me hard but never more than I can handle. My confidence has grown tremendously and my children say I have developed Madonna arms which I understand is a good thing. Nathalie is a masterful trainer, very professional, always on time, never misses a session, is flexible when I need to change a time and always communicates via email or telephone. I recommend Nathalie to anyone considering a fitness program.
I have been training with Nathalie for nearly two years now and no two workouts have been the same. Each week brings a new challenge and Nathalie always pushes me to do more than I think I can. What makes Nathalie different than other trainers is the obvious time and thought that she puts into designing the workouts specifically for me.
I’ve been training with Nathalie for at least a year now and my muscles are still confused. She does an excellent job of blending core workouts with cardio to take your training to another level. Each session of work out routines are carefully calculated to challenge you and produce optimal results. I’ve experienced several different personal training styles from other trainers and I would rank Nathalie with the best. If you can eat healthy while maintaining your training sessions, you will get the results.
