Client Testimonials Baby to Boston
On April 21st I was part of an amazing athletic race - The Boston Marathon. When I qualified for Boston I knew I couldn't miss this opportunity for a second time so of course I was going to go, but I was worried about all of the training. After taking a 2 week mental and physical break from running I had a talk with Diane about my concerns. By the end of that day Diane had sent me a new training schedule for my running. This training schedule was different than anything else I had ever done - finally I wasn't just running day after day! This schedule made me stronger than I had ever been. When I was feeling my best I decided to talk with Diane about my nutrition, a subject she is very knowledgeable on. Her sports nutrition program made me feel even stronger and more confident. It gave me a pre-race eating ritual that helps sooth the nerves. The day of the marathon I didn't question if what I was eating was right or if the time I was eating it was right. With Diane's training schedule, 3 days a week sports specific workout class and sports nutrition guidelines I was able to finish the Boston Marathon with a Personal Record - 3:34:14. Thank you for all of your help and support! Shelbey Read where Shelbey started from a little more than one year ago...
"A year ago I was sitting on the end of my bed crying
to Obie (my husband) because I felt like I had lost myself. I just had
Drake and was over 140 lbs. - I had never weighed this much
before (besides when I was pregnant of course). I felt like there
was a layer of fat over my entire body. I could not stand to look
in mirror and see my body - it was disgusting. I did not want to go
anywhere because of the way I looked - I could not fit into any of
my clothes, besides my sweatshirts and sweatpants. I told Obie I was going to run another marathon because I needed to get
the weight off. He reminded me how I complained the whole time I
was training the first time I ran my marathon because I felt like I
was running to a schedule not running because I enjoyed it. We had
a long talk that day and I'll always remember him telling me that I
needed to find something I loved doing - then staying in shape
wouldn't be so hard. I use to write exercising down on my list of
the things to do for the day and check it off when I was done.
Obie
said he would never write Mountain Bike
Ride down on his daily list - it was not a chore that had to be
completed - it was something he loved to do and would love to do
everyday if he had the time. Throughout our conversation your name
came up and I said I was going to give you a try. Obie said if you
think that will work than go for it. In the back of my mind I was
wondering if I would ever find something I really enjoyed and that
would help keep me in shape. I was wondering if your classes would
be something I would stick to - or would it be a month long gimmick
like all the other stuff I have tried. I have joined a handful of
gyms, done all the classes they offer, bought every tape off the TV
you can imagine (The Firm, Power 90 & Pilates to name a few) and
every time I saw some new piece of equipment on TV promising a 6
pack or a firm butt I'd buy it. To say the least my track record
wasn't very good. The first day I joined your class I was hooked.
I have been going to you now for almost a year and I am more excited
now about it than the day that I started. You truly have a gift for
what you do. You are so motivating, encouraging and positive. At
the same time you are strict and don't let us get away with anything
- which is great! Your classes offer so much variety - you could
never get bored. You are so knowledgeable on the subject of fitness
and nutrition - it is inspiring. I want to thank you so much for
helping me find the one thing I love to do to stay in shape. I am
totally addicted to your classes. I can only imagine what I will
look and feel like in one more year. Thank you for being amazing!"
"Just wanted to tell you that it is really great what you and Shelbey are accomplishing together.
BreakoutFitness Biggest Loser Winner - March 2008
Brenda Marks After following Diane’s recommended nutrition program, I now have a stable level of energy throughout the day – an amazing accomplishment from someone who previously had sugar craving highs and lows throughout the day. Family and friends have commented on my glow and smaller size and I love it.
In February, I set my fitness goal to run the entire Shamrock'n 5km Race
(3.1 mile) scheduled on March 16, 2008. When I registered for the
race, I had no idea what kind of shape I would be in or if I would
be able to run the entire distance. I got focused and slowly
built up from walking to running a couple miles. Race day quickly
came and I felt energized and ready to go. I was so thrilled to
cross the finish line...running the entire distance! Now that I'm
in better shape, I'm preparing myself for my next fitness goal to
complete a 10km race on May 17, 2008. Much like Diane's
fitness program, this will be challenging, yet achievable.

“Since I had my son 3 ½ years ago, I have struggled
to get focused and lose that last bit of weight and get back into my
pre-baby clothes. Previously, I had been involved in Triathlon &
Adventure Racing events, and had worked with a personal trainer so
knew what I could be. I tried a few times on my own the last couple
years but never stuck to anything. It becomes much harder to
dedicate and commit consistently when you have a family and I was
always finding excuses! I finally decided it was time – I was not
happy with how I looked or felt. I told my husband I wanted to hire
a personal trainer for a short period of time – he was fully
supportive. In my search, I found Diane. Her background was what
interested and motivated me – and she looks incredible – proof that
she knows what she is doing and lives what she teaches. Not always
the case in many personal trainers you meet. She recommended me to
try her Boot Camp class – a small group format focusing on core
functional training. WOW – I am definitely hooked. In one month I
dedicated myself to the Boot Camp and her nutrition program – she
kept me honest and accountable to what I was doing and eating – I am
already more than half way to my goal! The small group format is
awesome – not only do you get Diane’s support but also support from
the others in the group – I am not sure I will ever be able to go
back to the ‘boring gym’ on my own. We never have the same routine
and you wonder – what will she come up with today J! Thanks to
Diane for getting me back on track to what I know I can be – my
husband thanks you too!”
11 Week Success
Gayle Howard
Weight Lost: 22 lbs!
I started working out with Diane on October 19, 2007. A friend and
I were going to
Hawaii
in February, 2008 and I really didn't want to look like one of the
whales that the tourist were going to Hawaii to see. Now, don't get
me wrong, I had been working out often at a local gym (on my own).
I had lost a couple of pounds over several months but at that rate
it would have taken me a year to take off the weight that I've
gotten down to with the short amount of time that I have worked out
with Diane. In 11 weeks working out with Diane I had lost 22
pounds. I was shopping in my closet for clothes that I hadn't worn
in years. And the great part about it was that they were finally
fitting me again. Diane puts so much variety in her workouts that
your body never gets a chance to get use to any particular routine.
I've been on her nutrition program since the beginning and I'm
feeling fantastic. Diane is very motivating and yet she pushes you
because she knows your potential. I leave her workouts,
sweaty, tired, exhausted, inspired,
motivated, and completely ready to take on the day. When I
miss a workout, I'm so mad at myself I could just scream. I still
have a ways to go. My next goal is this SUMMER. My friends and
family keep me motivated with their comments. It's so cool to hear
them tell me how awesome I'm looking. I'm getting nothing but
positive out of my experience working with Diane. "I have been training with Diane Cressey for over 2 years and have become addicted to her
and her workout classes. She has such a passion for the health and well being of her clients
and it makes me want to be a better person inside and out. She always has new
workouts and for as long as I have been working out with her I always look forward to the
next class. She is always motivating me to try new things such as running races and triathlons.
Diane is a true inspiration to women's health and fitness and I highly recommend
getting to know her as a person and as a personal trainer."
~ Angie Chen, Fair Oaks, Ca
“I have been working out with Diane and following her nutrition plan for a little over 2 months and I feel like a different person! I've lost 11lbs, 5 inches and 3% of my body fat but that's not the best part! I feel better than I have in a long time! Eating healthy has eliminated almost all of my cravings, I never feel bloated, my skin tone has improved, I'm hardly ever cranky or moody and I have so much more energy. Diane is a wonderful role model and motivator! She has helped me to realize at 43 it's not too late to make a life change and attain my goals.” ~ Lisa E., Folsom, Ca
I have been working out with Diane weekly for three months now and
it has definitely paid off! After several years of trying to thin
down and get into a good fitness routine, I finally dropped 10
pounds and a solid size in clothing. I am now consistently working
out with a variety of routines, I am more educated on proper
eating, and I am feeling healthier both mentally and physically than
ever before. Although I still have a little way to go to reach my
goals, I now feel that reaching those goals are truly attainable.
Training with Diane has been a challenging experience. Diane is a
very focused and intense trainer. She is extremely conscious about
the proper form and challenges you to push to your max. Her boot
camps are truly a killer and she takes the time to customize each
workout so you don't get bored and continue to be challenged.
Diane’s added nutritional guidance, tools, and weekly advice have
been the key to my success.
After six weeks with training with Diane, I have learned some valuable weight-training techniques and the essential nutritional and supplementation facts necessary to take me to my next fitness level. I am feeling better than I ever have. Thank you, Diane. - Bonnie Darrah, El Dorado Hills, Ca
