My favorite client story

One of my favorite success stories is a client who struggled with severe knee and hip pain. She couldn’t take stairs without pain and fear of falling. After working together on strength and mobility, she now walks stairs pain-free and confidently—something she never thought possible!

My favorite exercise

Split lunges or RDL’s

My favorite quote

I'm a mess, but Gemma is always encouraging and kind. I'm getting so much out of working with her I'm having my husband start too.

I have already lost almost 10 Ibs. working with Gem in one month. I am gaining muscle and losing inches. The workouts are intensive and she uses a variety of exercises that target every part of your body. Never gets boring....she is pleasant but all business. If toning and weightloss are your goal, she methodically takes you there. Also does it with a beautiful smile and pleasant demeanor. She is genuine and I couldn't ask for more with the personalized service.

I’ve been working out with Gemma since 2020 with both virtual and/or in-person sessions and she’s become like family! Can’t say enough good things about her calming demeanor, kind push to work toward more, and easy-going booking process.
