If you're in need of a Personal Trainer in Haverhill MA, you're in luck! Home Bodies is based out of Haverhill MA and we would love to help you with your fitness goals from the comfort of your own home. Let's hear from Kristy about her experience working with Gina Paulhus, owner of Home Bodies!
“I have been active my whole life and have always been involved with some type of activity whether it was working out at the gym, playing a sport or trying something new. However, In the past 3 years I had become very sedentary and for the first time in my life, put weight on.... about 26 lbs. I finally decided to try the ‘couch to 5 k’ which was ok until I realized I really wasn't making the progress I wanted to see.
When I was working on the Couch to 5K program (mind you I have never run for distance before) I realized my progress wasn't what I thought it would be and I was still putting on weight. I finally thought to myself while I was on the treadmill during one of my runs, "I really need to find someone who can train me through this."
I moved to Haverhill MA a couple of years ago and wasn't too familiar with the area, so I went home and looked up personal trainers in Haverhill. I came across Gina's Home Bodies website and loved all the information I found on it. I also liked her philosophy. So I sent her an email to get more information. I had never had a trainer before but figured I’d give it a try. I was surprised to learn that she lived down the street from me right in Haverhill. My goal was to lose weight and to feel better about myself.
Gina has given me a variety of exercise programs to do throughout the week between weight training and cardio. I like that I can mix and match the programs….kind of like garanimals....I can get them all done 3x/ week or spread them out and do them 6 days a week. My weeks can be pretty busy with limited time so this type of program works for me.
Gina has the ability to modify my program if I am unable to do a certain exercise. She also has literally helped me turn a 180 with my eating habits. She has taken so much time to work with my particular food tastes....as well as taking the time to explain what types of food I need and when to eat them. ie protein vs carbs and fats. I used to subsist on sugar and now my diet is completely different. I started with keeping a food journal and made the changes to my food choices which was extremely helpful. Now I find I don’t need to keep the food journal anymore but it was a great tool when this was all so very new to me.
"I started with Gina last April. I have lost almost 20 lbs and couldn't be happier. I am running in 5k races now (which has always been a dream) and I am still working to lose more weight."
So far I notice muscles on my body I have never had before and my small clothes I bought are now too big!
If you want to get it done....whatever your goals are don't waste time trying to do it yourself! Hire a trainer! They are the specialists and the professionals. They will get you there faster and more directly than if you try stumbling in the dark by yourself.”
"Ashley Arpe and I trained for about a year and four months. In that time I lost about 22 lbs when my original goal was 15 lbs. Before her, I had no idea what it meant to have healthy fitness goals. I was eating bad and most certainly not working out the correct way.
Before her my workouts consisted of going on the elliptical for a 30 minute session. She taught me how to use free weights to benefit my body type, she taught me different kinds of cardio methods rather than just the elliptical, she taught me what foods I should be eating, and most importantly what I should not be eating. With these lessons, and over time, she helped me reach my fitness goal.
Ashley is someone who cares about what she is doing. When you can find someone that cares about what they are doing it makes all the difference. She lives by what she teaches. She isn’t just standing there telling you what to do, she shows you what to do, and she tells you what it will help with on your body, and she practices it herself. She likes to see her clients prosper from her work.
Ashley is great at what she does and I would recommend her to anyone that came to me asking for a life coach and/or personal trainer. She strives to help her clients and she strives to make herself a better person and that is a rare quality in people these days. She will be continuing to help people reach their full health potential for a long time to come, that I am sure of. I wish her the best of luck in all her future endeavors."
