TESTIMONIALS

“I had the good fortune to work with Madison James for 2 years and can honestly say that I got into good shape in my late 40s and early 50s because of it. Her strength as a trainer is her “no bs” approach and creating individualized plans for her clients. She keeps it simple and she’s extremely supportive. ... She helped me to understand that it’s not all about how hard you work out, it’s about finding a healthy lifestyle that is sustainable. Madison will work with you to figure out what you “can” eat, not just focus on restrictive diet plans that can’t be maintained. When you are struggling or hitting a plateau, she will figure out a way to help you get through it. If you are looking for a coach who will make a difference, she is the one!”

“When I set out to change my state-of-heath, I was overweight, constantly tired and out-of-breath. Just walking up a set of stairs made me tired. I knew how to exercise and about healthy eating, but I didn’t know how to put them together and formulate a plan to achieve my goals. ... Reaching out to Madison was the best decision I could have made. She put together a workout plan coupled with a meal plan that complemented each other and maximized my results. Madison would take the time to ask the right questions to understand what I needed and adjust the plan accordingly. If my body wasn’t responding or I injured myself, she provided the answers to get me back on track.

Six months into this journey, I’ve lost 33 pounds, I feel better and running 5k has become a weekly occurrence. My job keeps me very busy, 10 hour days are the normal. Without making this lifestyle change, my health would have deteriorated, and overall quality of life declined. I have more energy and feel focused and alert. The difference is amazing and the only regret I have is not doing is sooner. Did I mention I’m 53 years old?”

“Madison James has an incredible handle on the science of the body, nutrition and workouts, along with patience, and energy. Madison's knowledge of how to eat, what to eat and when to eat to feed the beast in me was amazing. Madison’s meal plan helped me understand how important those lifestyle changes I needed. I began to feel the changes in my body in the first few weeks. In addition to the nutritional support, the exercise programming was spot on for me as a 45-year-old triathlete and runner. ... She trained me how to lift weights with the right form (as former football player with bad habits) for maximum results. Madison out the box style kept me on my toes and each session she pushed me to my max . Many people think personal trainers are just about giving you a tough workout, but Madison also consistently strived to lift my self-confidence all the while reminding that "Eventually all things fall into place. Until then, laugh at the confusion, live for the moments, and know everything happens for a reason". She changes every workout to be different, she holds you accountable, and she is genuine in her caring of my results, and I'm proud to call her a friend.”

“Madison has helped me lose weight at two different times. Most recently, I lost 20lbs with her help. She made things easy for me as I was working full-time and attending school full-time. She made my meal plans around what I had on hand in my fridge/pantry. All of the meals were easy to make and not time consuming at all, as I was able to meal prep one day over the weekend, so I would have everything together to start my week. All of the meals were filling and didn't leave you wanting more. ... Her exercise programs were also easy to fit into my busy schedule. Most of the workouts were 30min of high intensity workouts or fitting in a 30min walk during my day.

If you are even on the fence about using Madison's services don't be! You will not be sorry! She will help on your weight loss/fitness goals! ”
