“Slow and Steady is still Moving Forward!” 

That statement is my new mindset.  After years of having a remote computer job, sitting at my desk took a toll on my physical health.  I have a gym membership, a beautiful park across the street and the beautiful Pacific Northwest as my backyard – and yet, I lost all motivation to just – Move.   I spent my entire day sitting at my standing desk and looking outside, wondering how I got here!

Near the end of 2025, I knew it was time to do something about this. I looked online and researched options for personal training.  Northwest Personal Training jumped out as the top option for me.  It is a smaller, more personalized studio which I like, their staff has years & years of experience, location is super convenient, and the holistic longer-term 30min 2x per week program seemed like a good approach for me!

I am thrilled that I made this choice!  My personal trainer, Destiny, took time to understand my current situation and helped me set obtainable goals on day 1.  She always shows up to our session with new challenges, she has a plan each time, her positivity keeps me encouraged, and she helps keep me accountable for the commitments I made the week prior.  Destiny knows her stuff and I feel heard!  We laugh as I work hard during the sessions and their app has workouts I can use on my own.   Destiny even helps me find ways to get my walk in during my stressful workday (like scheduling a break in my daily calendar – imagine that!).  

I’m seeing results that I didn’t expect so soon like more energy, flexibility, strength and lost some weight too!   For the first time in many years, I have the belief I can keep going on this journey of improving my physical health, as well as getting back to my passion which is being outdoors like my photo shows one example of!  Thank you Northwest Personal Training, thank you Destiny!
