"I successfully finished the race (and had a great time doing so), all thanks to Shelly!"

"I have been training with Shelly for the last three years. I love it! No matter how grumpy I am attending an early morning training session, Shelly's infectious enthusiasm always breaks through any gloom. Training with her is more effective at getting me going in the morning than an entire pot of coffee!

Last year I decided to enter the Tough Mudder endurance challenge. I enlisted Shelly's help to get through the 12 mile long obstacle course full of 12-foot walls, icy water swimming, ropes, and monkey bars. I'm glad I did! Shelly took the time to research the event and put together a customized training plan specifically for surviving the race. When I was worried about a particular obstacle (the monkey bars, in my case), she took the training to the local park and helped me with my form. By the end of the training I was in the best shape I had been in the last ten years. I successfully finished the race (and had a great time doing so), all thanks to Shelly!

"... Shelly works with the whole person..."

"Shelly has changed my life. I started out over 100 lbs overweight and, thanks to Shelly's exercise expertise, fabulous encouragement, and sensitive understanding, I am making great progress toward my goal of being slim, fit, and healthy.

Shelly works with the whole person, knowing that the physical/nutritional/mental/emotional pieces intertwine. I am so grateful.

"... program she designs for you is varied so that boredom is never an issue."

"Shelly Weatherby at Not Just Fitness is the best coach I've ever had. She makes sure the fitness program she designs for you is varied so that boredom is never an issue.

One of the best things about Shelly is how receptive and flexible she is; want to do kickboxing one day? No problem. In the mood for dumbbells? Sure. She can even throw some karate into the mix! The workouts are invariably fun and Shelly is very mindful of the importance of stretching, so you'll seldom ache after you've exercised.

And if that weren't enough, she's incredibly dedicated to her work and clients as well as an absolute sweetheart.

"... Shelly's intuitive and genuinely cares about helping you get fit..."

"Gyms have always been boring for me. I get distracted easily and was never able to stick to a program. After a year where I broke my heel, I gave up marathon running and made the sofa my friend.

I met Shelly when checking out a class schedule. Before I knew it I was getting my butt kicked in workouts that were customized to accommodate my injuries. Even though I broke my leg AGAIN days before my first session there were no excuses! She helped me get back on track, and go from a limping walk to running quickly. Plus I learned kickboxing! One awesome feature that I've never had anywhere else is the homework. Getting a list of exercises assigned to do for the week keeps me from sacking out on couch between sessions.

If you're looking for a work out that's both laid back and energetic, changes with your needs and is *never* boring look no further. Shelly's intuitive and genuinely cares about helping you get fit. She'll push you in a way that makes you want to do more. Plus, I end up laughing as much as I sweat in a session, and that's something you just can't get at a franchise gym.

"I'm in the best shape I've been in in 20 years and I have Shelly to thank for it."

"I have never before worked with a trainer and had never seen the point. However, Shelly helped me understand what a trainer could do for me. Having a coach while exercising pushed me to push myself and I learned how much more I could do.

Shelly empowered me to learn from myself and overcome mental blocks I didn't even know I had. I'm in the best shape I've been in in 20 years and I have Shelly to thank for it. I've never had so much fun working out in my life as I do with Shelly.

"... a perfect balance of confidence, professionalism, and fun."

"Whether it is training a 30-year old to run again after an injury or teaching a 6-year old the fine art of Karate, Shelly approaches her task with a perfect balance of confidence, professionalism, and fun.

Shelly's expertise in physical fitness training and in-depth knowledge of the martial arts combined with her warm personality create an enriching experience for both the adult and child. The first time you meet Shelly you know she is the real deal. My twin boys say Shelly is one of the reasons they love Karate.

""No, this certainly isn't the usual gym/trainer scenario."

"I never would have believed that I could get the workout of my life in what appears to be an ordinary room. I mean without all the gym hype that I used to experience with the never ending platform of the treadmill, angrily humming at me to keep walking, or the stairs from the stairmaster that by now should have taken me to the moon and back, or the stationary bike that I pedaled so fast and furious on only to keep seeing the wall in front of me.

Well, I soon learned that I didn't need that monotony after meeting Shelly! No, this certainly isn't the usual gym/trainer scenario. Instead, Shelly listens to my needs and goals and then totally customizes my workout to fit ME. She makes sure that we're doing things that I can succeed in and work my way up to more rigorous exercises. She is also targeting the workouts on areas that I have said I'd like to improve, but all the while making it fun.

Some of the things I most enjoy are the circuits that we do, where Shelly actually participates with me which then pushes me to push myself a little harder. Another favorite of mine is working with the TRX. This allows for an incredible workout of the entire body and Shelly is always close by to make sure that I'm doing the exercises correctly so that I'm getting the most out of a particular exercise/stretch and keeping me safe from injuries.

Shelly is a great person to train with, she is extremely motivating and is always moving me forward to attain my goals. I feel very fortunate to have met her and be a part of her clientele.
