"I am building a fire, and everyday I train, I add more fuel. At just the right moment, I light the match." --Mia Ham

Rachel: When I was about six years old, I remember playing with my brother in the corner of the Hyde Park Gym while my dad worked out. The machines looked so strange, and I thought I'd never have any interest in actually using one. For the next several years I continued to live without realizingthe importance of taking care of my body. After I turned sixteen I finally took action and went back to that gym that I had played in so often as a child, and that's where I met Amalia.

Working with Amalia has been a pleasure since the very beginning. After our first training session I was more motivated to get in shape that I had ever been before, and working out became something to look forward to.

Amalia does an excellent job of focusing on the body as a whole. Most of the exercises we do not only strengthen muscle, but they also help stability, balance, and focus. Since the beginning of training I've noticed a big difference in the way I move everyday. Also, I've learned many new things about food and nutrition. Amalia can answer almost every single question I ask her about food and what I should be eating, and if there's something she doesn't know, she always looks it up and emails it to me!

I've been working with Amalia for about 6 months now, and I feel better than I've felt in a long time. Believe it or not, going to the gym is actually fun, and not many things feel as good as a really hard workout. Amalia is encouraging and helpful, and she made a unique workout plan based specifically on my goals at the gym. My routine is effective and fun, and it's amazing to see how much more weight I can lift now compared to when I started.

I'm so lucky to have found a person who could contribute so much to my life. Amalia has helped me develop a healthy lifestyle, and I appreciate everything she's done for me. She's an amazing trainer and excellent friend, and I hope everyone who wants to change their life will meet someone like her. Thanks, Amalia!
