I was an athlete in college and am still a gym rat now even though I'm logging long hours on Wall Street. Despite all that, the workouts Terri put together for me were completely new and innovative and always challenging.

I've been working out with Terri since Oct. 2005. Our workouts over the last 3 months have been both physically intense and extremely educational. I started having serious problems with my knees towards the end of the summer due to too much running. After resting them for a few weeks, I found that not only had I put on a quick 15 pounds, I had lost motivation to work out altogether.

I learned about Terri on Citysearch and decided to give her a call. Her energy and enthusiasm were infectious and critical to getting me back on track and working out regularly again. I normally don't get up before 8, even for meetings at work. But somehow, every week, Terri had me in her studio doing pushups at 6:30AM!

To be completely honest, as much as she pleaded with me to cut out McDonald's, milkshakes and other goodies, I really didn't. My eating habits stayed pretty much the same and even took a big turn for the worse over Thanksgiving and Christmas. What I did do was stick to her workout regimen over the last few months and the results have been significantly positive despite the poor eating. I cut body fat and put on a noticeable amount of muscle. Most importantly, I am back enjoying working out and working out hard. I can't thank Terri enough for the great job she has done for me. I would recommend giving her a try regardless of what level of fitness you are at.
