Your Testimonials...

Sarah

Adriana Medina is what I would call my saving grace. I have come further with my nutrition, weight loss, self esteem, and overall heatlh with her in the last few months than I have with any trainer in the past or by myself.

She works 110% on you and you find your self working harder knowing how hard she is working for you. Not only is she a great trainer because she gives me results in the gym, but she is someone I can call anytime when I need to talk about giving up because I want Ice cream or I am tired of running on a treadmill.

She reminds me how hard I have worked and how far I have come and tells me a little scoop of ice cream every once in a while is not a crime, but make it worth it. No matter what you want, either to gain muscle or to loss weight or just to get into better shape, Adriana will get you there in a healthy way. All it takes is her and you beliving in yourself.

Adriana Medina has been my personal trainer at 24 Hour Fitness in Downtown Seattle, two to three sessions a week, for nearly one year. For the past few months she has been training me for figure competition. I might never have had the confidence to pursue this goal had it not been for her encouragement and the results I’ve seen during my training with her.

In more than 50 sessions, Adriana has never failed to train with knowledge and enthusiasm, and perhaps most importantly, she has encouraged and inspired me to work harder than ever towards my goals. Her knowledge of exercise, including a wide variety of exercises and correct form for each, her understanding of food and nutrition, and her personal competition experience give her a rare combination of skill and credibility necessary to train athletes who are serious about getting and staying in better shape than ever.

I highly recommend Adriana Medina to anyone seeking a personal trainer who is serious about helping her clients get results, or to anyone considering entering a business arrangement with her in her personal training enterprise.

Sincerely.

I began working with Adriana one year ago. I had never worked with a trainer, nor spent much time in a gym. Although I was on active person, I had never been the type who ‘worked out.’ I was already losing weight on my own, but I wanted to increase my upper body strength. As a cardiac nurse, I needed a strong and fit body not only to do my work activities, but also to be a good example for my patients. I couldn’t even do one push up when Adriana started training me. But she didn’t expect me to initially.

Adriana assessed my strengths and weaknesses, and developed exercise routines that I could do, and gain confidence from. If I couldn’t do one certain exercise, she would have me try other movements that targeted the same areas. Our workouts changed as my body strengthened. I met my goal for increased upper body strength, but it became evident that I had little abdominal muscle tone and poor coordination because of past surgeries and treatment for ovarian cancer. Adriana tailored our sessions to target my whole body, and to help me develop more brain to muscle communication (hence have grace).

The brain to muscle communication helps me have more control. Working with a trainer has definitely been both a physical and a financial commitment. But it has been so very worth it! I would have never had the self-discipline to peruse my goals on my goals on my own.

Thank you Adriana!

When I first started training with Adriana in May, 2003, I weighed around 140 lbs and my bodyfat was 28.5%. I had been working out and dieting on my own for at least six years prior to this but I never could reach my goals. I would read a magazine and try to follow a plan they presented for a while, get frustrated and try something else. I had no focus or direction in my workouts and eating patterns – there was no method to my madness.

I logged countless hours on the cardio machines with no results and I shied away from serious weightlifting out of fear of getting too big. My diet was a disaster… I tried to eat really healthy with lots of fruit and low-fat carbohydrates while avoiding protein. I also tried the Atkins diet with no success. I was always trying to restrict my calories and eat less to lose fat. Well, none of my approaches were working and I was really frustrated.

Adriana set me straight and devised a training plan for me to follow…and taught about having well balanced eating habits. Within two months my body had transformed and the longer I continue training with her the better it gets. I decided to train for a figure competition, the Washington Ironman, in order to have a goal to work towards. It ended up being one of the best experiences of my life. I placed 5th out of 6 girls in the Tall class at the Washington Ironman in October, 2003. I wouldn’t trade the experience for anything. I worked really hard to prepare for the event and it has changed my life in many positive ways.

As a result, I now know how to eat right and exercise to meet my goals and I still meet with Adriana regularly to keep on track. Her training is an integral part of my fitness plan that enables me to maintain my body where I want to. I am maintaining my body composition now at 123 lbs with 14% body fat thanks to the training tips on my eating behavior and positive coaching I get from Adriana. She is an amazing trainer who has inspired me to reach for the stars and achieve goals I never dreamed possible. I am so thankful to her for helping me to get where I am today. I would highly recommend Adriana as a trainer to anyone who wants to get in better shape whether you are a fitness competitor or new to exercise she is highly knowledgeable, inspirational and fun.
