Testimonials

"I have worked with Deborah over the last three years and I have never been in better shape in my life.  I look and feel better at 40 years of age then I did at 25.  Her approach to exercise and a healthy lifestyle is enthusiastic yet manageable and easy to follow.  I hope to work with Deborah as long as she will have me! Jane C - Bank of America

"Deborah shows genuine empathy and interest in me and provides a level of service that stretch beyond our one-to-one weekly session." Carol B – Retired CEO

"One leaves a training session with Deborah feeling empowered - never inadequate. Before introducing more strenuous workouts, she will have taken a comprehensive inventory of her client's strengths and areas in need of attention. She communicates articulately how well particular body parts function, and how to stabilize and strengthen areas in need. She educates the client on his/her personal performance level.
My interest in physical performance, stability and healthy well being has been heightened due to my work with Deborah, and it is my middle-aged and my daughter's teen-aged good fortune to have been referred to her four years ago. We are both stronger, and more capable and confident individuals for it, and are definitely headed toward full potential." Barbara C – Retired

"I went to Deborah because she was so highly recommended by a number of people who I highly respect and admire. She is a terrific trainer and motivator. More importantly however, she is a wonderful caring person, who drives you to superior results. Deborah also has a great network, and she will not hesitate to send you to see someone else to complement her efforts, where appropriate. I highly recommend her! " Bob F – Retired CEO Bank of America

“I highly recommend working with Lisa Harkins.  She is extremely knowledgeable about nutrition, and presents information in a lively, engaging way.  She was able to create a customized nutrition plan that fit my lifestyle, and provided motivating nutrition coaching to help me reach my wellness goals.  Working with Lisa was like strapping on a jet pack—she really helped me accelerate my weight loss.   Since working with Lisa, I have lost nearly 70 lbs. and have kept it off for a year and a half.  More importantly, Lisa taught me skills to make healthy eating a way of life, so that I can maintain my weight loss for life”. Hilary L.

“I have been working with Lisa over the past few months and in that time, my overall sense of health has improved immensely.   I originally went to her for a nutritional assessment because I had a few pounds that I could not shed and I also wanted some ideas for meal planning since my husband had recently been diagnosed as pre-diabetic.  Lisa is a great listener and extremely knowledgeable.  I followed the eating plan she gave me and lost the pounds I was looking to lose. It was good for me to have Lisa to check-in with so that I was accountable for my eating and exercise habits.  She gave me that little push that I needed and the encouragement that I could get to where I wanted to be.  In those few months I learned so much from her and have a better sense of wellness overall.  I attribute that to Lisa.  She is a wonderful, supportive person and an excellent resource for anyone looking to improve their health.” Amy C.

"Lisa helped helped me to balance my eating plan with a doable approach to my busy lifestyle. As a personal chef, I love all sorts of foods with flavor, but lacked a plan for balance. Lisa's enthusiastic approach helped me make better personal choices, one meal at a time." Kris E.
