"Signing up with Torie's Fitness is one of the best decisions I have made for myself.  I am seeing such great results and doing things that I never thought I could.  Torie knows how to push and motivate me so I can get to where I want to be with my fitness goals.  I love the challenges she gives me and that she takes the time to make sure that I'm doing it right and my form is good. I also appreciate that if she sees me struggling with a move that she will modify it slightly to my fitness level untill I am strong enough to do it comfortably and without hurting myself.  I really enjoy working with her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to get in shape. Thank you Torie for helping me get into the best shape of my life! Satisfied customer.."  - Melinda Farley

 

"Just one month of working out with you and you have cured my severe sciatica pain! I've been to physical therapy many times with no success!! Thank You!!!" - Pam S.

 

"I have battled my weight for many years.  I tried every diet on earth many times.  I gained and lost the same 20-30 pounds over and over again.  Little did I know that I had the answer to my problems right at my fingertips – my daughter, Torie.  I have always had a good handle on everything in my life except my weight.  After watching Torie on her path to fitness I decided maybe I could do this too.  I was scared because I was 51 years old and what was I thinking.  But I made the leap!!  I did two relay races in sprint triathlon’s – I did the swim portion.  Then I really got serious with Torie and I have lost that 25 pounds through weight lifting and Zumba.  But the best part is I was busting out of a size 14 and I now wear a size 6.  I work out once a week with Torie and I work out 4 to 5 more days a week on my own.  I do very little cardio these days – HIIT once or twice a week for 15 minutes – that’s it.  I work out at the gym for about an hour each session.  I have bad arthritis in both my knees and get cortisone shots.  I have had to do these shots less often.  I am so much more comfortable now that I am lifting weights and my muscles are getting stronger which puts less pressure on my knees.   Torie has been such an inspiration to me and being fit is actually quite the rush.  I am working hard – still would love to push the envelope just a bit more – who knows where I will land.  But honestly if I stay right where I am for the rest of my life, I couldn’t be happier.  Thank you to my daughter who I am so proud of and who has inspired me so much.  You can teach an old girl new tricks.  If you want, go get it and don’t let anything get in your way!" - Robin I.

 

"Torie is the perfect balance of effective and kind. She works with the whole person, not just weight issues. The results I have achieved to date are largely due to Torie's perfect combination of diverse training methods, individualized exercise programs & challenging yet achievable goal setting. She integrates balanced nutrition with diet and exercise to accomplish the needed goals. She is positive, optimistic, enthusiastic, and is personally invested in each of her clients. Torie is professional and committed and I am all the better for having found her. She is the only trainer I would consider working with!!" - Michelle T.

"Torie is a beautiful person, inside and out, and an excellent motivator. She successfully is capable of discouraging existing bad habits without making a person feel down about themselves and always gives helpful suggestions and encouragement to do better. She is one of the sweetest and most positive people I know, I have never been healthier or fitter in my life than I was while I was training with her." - Rachel W.

"I have been working with Torie for over a year. Previous to working with her, I had a lot of trouble with controlling my diet, but she has helped me re-work the things I eat and find ways to eat the things I love in a much healthier way. By being positive, straight forward and motivational she taught me that women should not be afraid of weight training. Working with her and training on my own has helped me feel stronger and in more control of my workouts. Being trained by Torie has made my workouts very enjoyable; she has become a good friend of mine and taught me a significant amount of helpful information about my diet and exercise routines." - Jahnnna S.

 

"At 61 years old, my primary work-out focus has been preventing osteoporosis.  Torie is an exceptional trainer, guiding me towards my specific goals since October of 2012.  She is flexible, energetic and fun!  In addition to strength training, she has provided me with nutritional guidelines.  I am much stronger and more motivated as a result of Torie's training sessions." - Ingrid S.

 

"When the gym I belonged to at the time decided to pair me up with Torie as my trainer, I thought who is this tiny little girl and what does she think she can do for me?  By my second session with her I was hooked! Torie pushed me to a level I never knew I had in me. She helped me through a knee injury, through personal problems I was having, and showed me how to personally push myself to keep exceeding my own expectations. Every time I gave her that stank eye of I'm done and I hate you now, she just kept a smile on her face and said "one more set!" I never regretted that one more set and I never judged Torie and that little girl again!" - Stacie S.

“Torie was an inspiration to me long before she started training me. I admired the way she turned fitness and eating healthy into a lifestyle. For too long I saw only saw "crash diets" or cutting out foods for a short amount time as a way to look good.  But now I know that its more about the long term benefits of feeling good and having a healthy lifestyle that really count. Thanks Torie!”  – Nikki P.

 

"Torie does an amazing job motivating people to reach their goals.  I saw her finish her first triathlon a few years ago and it inspired me to work towards that myself.  Two years later I did my first sprint race.  When I was looking to get back into lifting she created a great two day a week program that was manageable and a perfect fit for reintroducing my body to that type of workout.  No matter what your goals are she will help you accomplish them and always does it in the most encouraging and supportive way!" - Britt R.

 

"I met Torie by chance at a wedding and the next thing I knew we were training together - a true testament to her personality and positive attitude!  As I began making these life changes, I never felt as though I was without a support system.  Whether it be through healthy recipe choices, at home workout plans, or a simple text of encouragement - Torie is there.  She makes it easy to get healthy and stay healthy, for life!" - Katrina S.

 

"When I first started working with Torie, my demanding job was taking over my life in a negative way.  I was not sleeping well due to the rotating shifts, had poor dietary habits and was overall full of anxiety-making it hard to get motivated to work out.  I started working with Torie and can honestly say I am so much happier now than I was before.  Not only am I sleeping better, my attitude is positive, I feel stronger and have more energy.  Torie keeps every session fresh, challenging and, above all, fun.  Her enthusiastic attitude keeps me motivated and engaged.  She has a lot of knowledge to share and I am inspired by the discipline she demonstrates in her own life.  I would highly recommend Torie as a personal trainer, she will change your life!" - Melissa S.

 

"Working with Torie as my personal trainer was great! She's motivating, supportive, and truly cares about your health, fitness, and welfare. She knows what she's doing and she does it well!! I would recommend her to anyone I know looking for a trainer." - Laura Q.
