Client Comments

I contacted Margo thinking I'd sign up for three or four sessions, just to get some exercise tips. Nine months later, I'm still doing two sessions a week and looking forward to them. It's not just that I can see the results - better balance, more endurance, better muscle tone; it's that the workouts are always interesting, always different (she must lie awake nights thinking of new ways to move various body parts) and above all, instructive. A lot of trainers understand exercise; Margo knows how to explain exercises so clients can understand how to do them - correctly and efficiently. Oh, and did I mention that she's also fun? While she's making my muscles hurt, she also makes me laugh.

I have a good friend who was seeing Margo so she came highly recommended. I had just lost around 10 pounds which I accomplished by diet and a lot of walking. I was looking to introduce some strength training into my routine mainly because I wanted to further lower my cholesterol and maintain my bone density. My cholesterol had always been fairly normal without medication and I wanted to keep it that way but I had a “slight” decrease in my bone density and had heard that strength training could help. On a more vain note, I wanted to have a more toned and defined figure in my forties and beyond.
 
I started with Margo back in the summer of 2005 and have loved every minute of it! Yes, I complain now and again but Margo keeps me positive and motivated. I have learned how important doing the movements correctly can really make all the difference in the world. Margo is so knowledgeable about all subjects related to health and fitness…she is truly amazing! Her personality is very upbeat and fun! I look forward to seeing and talking with her every week.

I began working with Margo in 2005 to get in shape in preparation for pregnancy. I had gained a considerable amount of weight during the course of fertility treatments because I had strayed from a regular workout routine, experienced wild hormonal fluctuations, and self-medicated my sadness with bad foods. Margo helped me shed 15lbs. and allowed me to become more aware of my diet. I also think that the physical fitness and weight loss helped increase my fertility and I became pregnant with my daughter soon after meeting several of my fitness and nutritional goals. Margo was supportive, collaborative and appropriately challenging in her approach. Margo is an outstanding trainer and I would recommend her to anyone.

Margo helped me tremendously after I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's disease and gained over 90 pounds in three months. She was patient, thorough, and unfailingly thoughtful in planning and executing an exercise program that was right for me. I lost the 90 pounds, and have maintained my weight thanks to Margo.

Physical therapy was pretty much over but complications from a total hip replacement meant that it was going to take more effort on my part to learn how to use my left leg again. I also had to lose the weight I'd gained. I needed help and motivation because I wouldn't do it on my own. Margo is a pro and gave me an immediate sense that she knew how to help me. She was supportive, encouraging, firm, realistic, and practical about what I needed to do to improve my physical condition. I appreciated the flexible schedule and I'm glad I found her!

I've trained with Margo for 5 years and she has helped me realize that I can do things I thought were impossible. I originally hired Margo due to a diagnosis of Osteopenia and had already experienced bone loss in my hips and spine. Since working with Margo, I have halted the Osteopenia and improved overall. I am physically fit for the first time in many years, thanks to Margo. She is dedicated, thorough and hardworking and will tailor your workout to best suit your personal needs.

My husband and I hadn't exercised regularly in years and we needed help getting started. Margo developed personalized workouts for both of us and showed us that using correct form during exercise is key to getting stronger and leaner. Margo keeps us motivated and our sessions are fun and challenging.

I came to Margo for better muscle tone and working out to get the most benefit. I continue to come because I have had great results.  Margo is a great motivator and fun!!

I began training with Margo as I entered into a time of life when better physical conditioning and greater attention to my general health became necessary as I was being asked to contribute in significantly new ways within my current profession.  Margo has increased my stamina and given me healthy structure for ATTEMPTING to self-discipline my deficient health habits. The one on one attention has ensured it is my own personal strengths and weaknesses which are being addressed and not someone else's in some cookie-cutter fashion. The time spent is thus quality time at a level which a more general program could not achieve.

I heard about Margo through two friends who had started working out with her and were happy with their results. I wanted to get in shape after my second baby. I was able to get back in shape with Margo, and am able to maintain and get even better and better with continued twice a week visits. One of the things I like about Margo is her commitment to always making sure I do the exercises effectively and with correct form  – she never lets me slack!

Hi.  My name is Cindy and I'm 44 years old.  I was turned onto Margo by my best friend's husband 4 years ago.  I had decided my gift to myself was to have smokin' abs at 40.  What I thought was going to be a temporary arrangement, has turned into a 4 year addiction!  I hate the gym but love to work out so Margo's in-home training gym works awesome for me.

I was looking for a trainer and found One-on-One Fitness on the internet. I was getting plump and unfit and had too little discipline to exercise on my own. Therefore, I was looking for something/someone to “jump start” my body and mind! What I found is a knowledgeable and experienced trainer who is calm and consistently firm.  What I learned is that I didn';t have to join an impersonal gym with a large step class to get results. I am pleasantly surprised that I do not have to repeat an exercise a hundred times or be on the treadmill for an hour to get results, as Margo tailors the session to my body's needs. Now I am on my way to a healthier and fitter me!
