Testimonials
I have been working with Tracy for nearly two years training. I have always been in shape, but really wanted the extra push to take it to the next level. Tracy has more than exceeded my desires for my personal fitness and nutrition. She exemplifies the ideal balance between extensive knowledge in the field of training and uptone and encouraging attitude that only makes you want to work harder to meet your goals. She makes the effort to keep educating herself in her field as to stay on top of the most advanced ways to train. This is highly commendable. Even when I found out I was pregnant with my first child, Tracy knew what to do and has kept me in wonderful shape throughout my pregnancy. I attribute my wonderful pregnancy partly to her assistance in keeping me physically fit. The thing that I probably love most about Tracy is that she actually cares. You can see it in the way that she works with you individually to meet YOUR goals. She is truly excited when you make progress…even if it is doing one more push-up than you did last week, or not eating that piece of cake you wanted oh so badly. I personally have seen a tremendous difference in my physical form. I cannot recommend Tracy to you highly enough. Your needs, goals and desires in a trainer will be far surpassed!

I am currently 27 weeks pregnant and have been working out with Tracy since the beginning of my pregnancy. I am heading into my third trimester and have never felt more fit and energized as I do now. I am grateful to that I have been able to do this in a safe and effective manner thanks to Tracy.

Tracy Kinell brings a unique approach for fitness for her clients by changing not only their bodies through Pilates, but also by expanding their personal motivation with her knowledge of nutrition and alternative health options. Her own extensive training in Pilates and anatomy has given me full confidence in trusting her with my training. I sought out a Pilates trainer at my current gym after a reoccurring back injury left me on the floor. Tracy has helped me overcome my initial fears and panic of another bout and has replaced those with confidence and core strength. I’m a different person thanks to her skills and patience.

Tracy is kind of trainer that makes you want to show up from the other side of town even when it's a rainstorm. The more effort you give her, the faster she'll take you past your goals. For three months, I was recovering from a double-freeway car accident. I came to her with a bag full of injuries. After a decade of working out on my own, she studied my body and found power imbalances where they had eluded me. After the first month, my body was visibly transformed with the least amount of time and effort. I lost the 'vanity' muscles I didn't need and gained the mobility, flexibility, and power that would take me back past the injuries and to a new level of balance and physical grace. If I had any doubts about her successful rehabilitation, I need only catch the glances of other gym goers who look at my new posture and movement with envy. Yeah, I'm still getting used to the attention. She is GENEROUS with her knowledge to the point of teaching you the tricks of her trade. You are not getting your money's worth if you don't engage Tracy on the level of a confidante.At the end of the day, she'll make sure you take away the knowledge and skills you need to keep improving.... even when you take a break from training(!) (I still do breathing exercises to the cadence of her voice in my head). When I'm ready to take on the next physical challenge, I'm going back to Tracy

"I began working with Tracy when I was five months pregnant and it was the best thing I have ever done for my health and body! Tracy helped maintain my general fitness while improving strength and balance. She was extremely knowledgeable in training pregnant women and because of her; I experienced an easy pregnancy and labor, and was able to bounce back quickly after my son was born."

I've been training in private Pilates sessions with Tracy twice a week since
last fall of 2005. I'm a performer. It's necessary for my work to be in great shape health wise as well as physical appearance. To look and feel my best!I wish I had it within my budget to work with Tracy more than twice per week. As, I love how my body's becoming strong, healthy and sculpted with Tracy's GREAT expertise! After a 20 year dance background and a knee injury sustained from it. I've never truly gotten the body I'd hoped to have. Now at 38 years of age. I'm finally getting all my ducks in a row! Tracy has been very instrumental in helping me create the body I've always dreamed of having! I truly believe Tracy's gifts as a trainer go beyond just the Physical training sessions. Though that would be plenty! But, I find her to be Very
intuitive, Highly professional, Friendly as well as Focused with her Full attention in each and every workout. I so appreciate her clarity and wonderful ability to communicate within sessions articulating the exercise for the maximum benefits. The wonderful variety within each and every workout, so I never get tired or bored of having to do the same thing. Plus her sincere encouragement and positive feedback is always such a joy to receive! I greatly appreciate her understanding and awareness that all days are not created equal! We've got good days, strong days and not so
great ones here and there. She's patient and compassionate on those days and will work with my real needs. She may encourage me to challenge myself, however it's never feels over bounds! It takes a great sense of awareness to do that in such a graceful and professional manner. I feel Tracy understands and has respect for the whole picture. The Spirit, Body and Mind! I HIGHLY recommend her! Thanks Tracy!
Tara, Performer
It was never my nature to enjoy an active lifestyle, but 3 years ago I had some ambitious weight-loss goals, and I wanted someone to hold me accountable for doing the work required to achieve those goals. Tracy's combination of patience and irresistible encouragement were just what I needed to overcome the millions of challenges that accompany the journey toward fitness. Even when I experienced minor setbacks along the way, she found ways to accommodate me without allowing my training to be thwarted. While she never fails to remind me that my current success is due to my diligence, I believe that if left to my own devices, I would not have lost over 40 pounds in less than 2 years. Tracy is an invaluable partner to anyone committed to improving their health!
