“I really can’t find the words to express the level of excellence Natalie brings to coaching.  For sure, she motivates me to push past my limits – actually, well past what I think is possible. Over Zoom! In the four years I’ve trained with her, we’ve maybe worked out twice in person. (I’m in PA.)  

 Natalie always makes me feel like an athlete. For anyone who desires to feel like, and hopefully be, an athlete, that’s so important. Her confidence in me makes me feel confident. I’m in my early 60s and she has never spared the rod! And the workouts she makes up are crazy – crazy hard and crazy fun. The hour evaporates!

 I am sure there are good trainers out there who figured out how to adapt perfectly to Zoom. The HUGE difference is Natalie’s physical therapy experience. She “prehabs” things that creak and if I get injured, she fixes the problem. Natalie has SO many tools she brings to training. She knows the human body -- intuitively and through experience. Not only did I exceed my fitness goals, my balance improved, I almost never get injured, and I am stronger than most women my age.

 I can’t recommend Natalie enough. You will work hard, without the fear of injury, you will be pushed but with compassion. I promise you will not regret hiring Natalie. She has been a true partner in my fitness journey.”

“I started training with Natalie a year after a total hip replacement. Running long distance was no longer an option. Nonetheless, I wanted to be an Ironman. It was Natalie’s constant support, strength training, and work as a PTA that assisted me across many finish lines. Working as a PTA allowed Natalie to tailor triathlon training programs ranging from a sprint to a full Ironman designed to sustain and strengthen my hip replacement.  It is through Natalie’s constant support, training, and PTA knowledge that got me to Nationals and becoming a 2X Lake Placid Ironman. I am forever grateful for Strength from Within, CT.”
