Testimonials for Kim Williams-Brinck

1. I came into see Kim because I was hav­ing trou­ble get­ting up off the floor and I wanted to find ways to include more strength train­ing in my life. The pro­grams that Kim devel­oped have really helped. I’ve been amazed at the weight I can now lift, with­out a prob­lem. In addi­tion, I’ve found that I’ve been inspired to do the pro­grams, on my own, at home. She has devel­oped pro­grams that work in my har­ried sched­ule and around my spe­cific needs. Kim is patient and knowl­edge­able. I’ve been amazed at how much I’ve learned about doing exer­cise in the cor­rect way (no won­der I kept hurt­ing myself!). Her friend­li­ness and the way that she bal­ances kind­ness with push­ing me to stretch past my fear make work­outs with her a plea­sure. I rec­om­mend her highly with no reservations!

2. I have been work­ing with Kim twice a week for over three years and it has been a great jour­ney so far. At 62 I was slowly los­ing strength and bal­ance as I aged. I wanted to stay fit and mobile for the activ­i­ties I love like gar­den­ing and play­ing with my grand­chil­dren. Kim has a spe­cial tal­ent for design­ing rou­tines that chal­lenge and teach what­ever one’s ini­tial phys­i­cal con­di­tion. She has had years of expe­ri­ence as a yoga teacher and as a per­sonal trainer. She teaches one to do the exer­cises cor­rectly, thus max­i­miz­ing gain and min­i­miz­ing injuries.
   I have espe­cially enjoyed notic­ing my abil­i­ties and strength increase, for exam­ple, I can now turn the bar which shut­tles my grand­chil­dren back and forth on a lit­tle tram at the playground…two years ago, this was not an option. I can bal­ance on one leg to get into my jeans and I can get up from almost any chair with ease. I’m not always happy to go to the gym at 7am, but I’m always happy that I did.

3. I really enjoy work­ing with Kim. Her laugh­ter filled, fun way of being, makes the train­ing ease­ful and light, while really get­ting the work done. She has a way of approach­ing my train­ing rou­tines that keeps them fresh, inter­est­ing and most impor­tantly, effec­tive. I highly rec­om­mend Kim to any­one who wants their work­out to be highly impact­ful and can do with­out the grind.

4. I recently cel­e­brated my 50th birth­day. Because I’ve been work­ing out with Kim for the past six years, I was able to approach this mile­stone far more fit and con­fi­dent than I ever would have been with­out her. In fact, because Kim has helped me become so much more phys­i­cally focused, I feel younger now than I did five years ago!

   Kim focuses on an indi­vid­u­als needs and goals, and
   varies the rou­tines often enough to keep them fresh. She takes into account the whole per­son, with atten­tion to bal­ance, coor­di­na­tion, strength train­ing, and engag­ing ones core.

   When I started work­ing with Kim, we had weekly ses­sions. With her sup­port, Ive devel­oped the con­fi­dence (and dis­ci­pline a new thing for me!) to work with her once every other week, and work out the rest of the time on my own. She gives good direc­tion and coach­ing, and man­ages to (gen­tly) hold me account­able. I feel very lucky to have found this level of exper­tise and support.

5. I’ve been tak­ing yoga classes with Kim for over six years now. In addi­tion to reliev­ing stress, Kim’s class has done won­ders for build­ing my strength and sta­mina. Prac­tic­ing yoga pro­vides me with quiet times through­out my week to relax and focus on how I’m feel­ing, with­out dis­trac­tion.
   Kim also worked with me to cus­tomize a strength/resistance train­ing pro­gram that I can do at home.

   She instructed me about what equip­ment to buy, how to use the space I have, and went through the rou­tine with me to make sure I had a thor­ough under­stand­ing of it. Now I can train at home a cou­ple of times a week with­out hav­ing to travel to a gym.

   Kim is an excel­lent and knowl­edge­able teacher who always pro­vides feed­back and encour­age­ment. I highly rec­om­mend her yoga classes and per­sonal train­ing services.

6. My hus­band Ver­lin observed Kim work­ing with her cus­tomers, and was very impressed. He con­tacted her to see if she would be will­ing to work with me.

   Many years ago I was diag­nosed with Chronic Fatigue. After try­ing sev­eral forms of exer­cise, I would usu­ally end up exhausted. Now, after my ses­sions with Kim, I have more energy and I love doing my exercises.

   Thank you, Ver­lin, for con­tact­ing Kim for me.
