“I came to Simone with chronic back and hip problems and the goal to be pain-free. Simone analyzed my issues and together we built a workout program that built up the right muscle groups to address them. The fact that I got stronger, felt healthier and looked better was an added bonus. I’ve worked with Simone for five years and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a personalized, effective and personable experience to take care of your body through a holistic approach”

“Every once in awhile you meet someone who changes your life in profound ways. My twin and I met Simone at Equinox in San Francisco where she was one of their top tier trainers. We quickly realized that she had a unique approach to helping us achieve our fitness goals, which first involved asking loads of questions, listening attentively to our answers, and providing spot-on feedback, which helped us clarify why we were there. We remember leaving the gym that day thinking that we had finally met a trainer who wasn’t formulaic and best of all someone who didn’t make assumptions about us.

Since that initial conversation almost five years ago, Simone has been an incredible fitness Sherpa, guiding us through a mind/body journey that includes conversations about nutrition, a multi week exploration of our sleep habits, and a deep dive into our new passion—Olympic Weight Lifting. Simone’s new business is a perfect marriage of her innate ability to really understand the motivation and mental habits of her clients, her mastery of how the body moves, her expertise in deploying equipment, and most of all her unique creativity.

We can honestly say that at age 67 we are in the best shape of our lives. We’ve got more energy, more muscle mass and yes, we’ve got really nice abs. What started as a desire to lose some fat has turned into a fun, and at times unexpected discovery of the power of one’s mind and body.”

- Jamie and Christy, 67 years old

“I started training with Simone because my eating and drinking had increased while my workouts had completely stopped. I needed someone who worked with not only the physical but also the emotional component of lifestyle change to help get me back on the path I envisioned for myself. Tailored workouts and her invested relationship in helping me have paid off. Today, I feel stronger and healthier than I have in years. If you are looking for the full mind/body experience of a personal trainer, then don’t hesitate to work with Simone. Her vast knowledge of strength training and dedication to her clients is first rate.”

"I started working with Simone about a year and a half ago. I was suffering from back and knee pain and had become limited to only swimming. I wanted to improve balance, strength and flexibility so I could get pain free and also get back to enjoying some of the activities and outdoor lifestyle I love. Through Simone's acumen, expertise and unique understanding of an athlete mentality she has been able to help me achieve a dramatic transformation. The chronic pain is gone and my strength, flexibility and balance are all wildly different. Additionally, beyond all the physical gains, I have found an amazing person with a unique talent to meet me where I am each session, coach body and mind and guide me towards goals I never thought possible. I have never experienced a smarter, more talented and invested professional than Simone. So whether you are just trying to get off the couch and get pain free or want to set Olympic records, Simone will be there every step of the way.”

“I’m wearing sweaty soccer gear and standing in a Lululemon fitting room. I take off my shirt and instead of pulling something else on before glancing at a mirror, I look at myself. Not any specific part, especially ones I’ve perceived to be flawed for a very long time, but at all of me. And like what I see: a strong 44-year old body. When I started working with Simone, I told her my goals were 95% practical and functional strength and 5% I wasn’t ready to let my butt disappear without a fight. After 4 months of working with Simone, I learned that the circuits she designs for me leave me the best kinds of sore. She understands how bodies work and her wizardry has somehow transformed me from a bunch of parts to a practically, functionally, strong, whole person. And because my butt is a part of me, it is no longer at risk of disappearing!”
