Testimonials

"I really love Edies sessions at NSD. They are varied and quite intense and push all of us past our limit-which is what we want to do in that hour.We really train all of our body,and Edies input on nutrition and other subjects are quite informative."

"Prior to starting in on our corporate workout program, I was very inactive, lacking energy, and feeling tired all the time. As much as I hated the workout for the first couple of weeks (mostly due to SORE muscles), it got me moving in a fun way. You started us slow with more cardio based activities and have slowly increased our group to a progressive free weight/cardio program. Great job! Your enthusiasm is contagious and it’s blatantly obvious that you love your job. I’m getting comments about how good I look, how much weight I’ve lost, and even today, how much better my attitude is. Thank you, thank you, thank you! You have done a great job with us, and it’s to the point now that even if our corporate program got cancelled, I will still be working out at NSD."

I remember when we met and I had to have my first assessment and I cried. I had let myself and my body go and was not loving myself the way I once had. Since my wedding day 8 years ago I had managed to gain a whopping 90 pounds! 2 kids, a unhealthy eating habit, some bad medication and a sedentary life all contributed to this. The assessment was the first time I had weighed myself in a long time and had never had the calibration test done before, so this was the first time I had to face what I had done. What I remember most about the day was that you stopped what you were doing, and sat down and really helped me to understand what a good thing I was doing now. You made me see the positive side in things. And for that I am forever grateful to you.

When I started the program, you were there every bit of the way with encouragement, extra time and effort towards my progress. You always took the time to check in with me and tell me how proud you were, that meant a lot. The program gave me a better understanding of fitness and nutrition. I have followed your advice and have seen MAJOR RESULTS, as you know. With your help I have lost 34 pounds already and 14% of my overall body fat. I have lost 3 dress sizes and the momentum has just begun! I can’t wait for the next session of your program to begin. In the last session I found myself excited to see how you were going to challenge me and the group, you never let us down.

Sometime shortly after I started to work out with you, I was in a store shopping and I had seen a pair of pants that I really loved, they only had a couple of pairs left, and they were REALLY not my size. I sat there feeling sorry for myself, and then you came to mind and I bought them anyway. Well today I cried, when I was in my closet trying to find something to wear, and saw them hanging there so pretty. I thought to myself, “yeah why not just give them a try”. They zipped right up. I ran out and woke my husband to tell him(of course not knowing how I sat in that store that day, he couldn’t feel the same excitement, as I danced around the bedroom in my new pants), but he clapped and cheered anyway.

As you know, I have sent people to see you and to find out about the program, not because I am pushing them, but because they all ask what it is I have been doing to get healthy. All of my friends and family have seen the results I have achieved with you. I told someone yesterday that as long as Edie will have me, I will be in her life.
