“Wow – Wendy is a wonderful asset! I have been with trainers off and on over the years and have liked all of them. However, Wendy is a step above. I will give you some specifics:
1) Thoughtful listener: She understands my unique situation and never forgets my limitations (I don’t know how she does it with so many clients)
2) Always hopeful and upbeat! I was so out of shape when I met her and after 2 months and joining her team for Biggest Loser, I am making more dramatic progress than ever before with her encouragement and training
3) Motivation and fun: She makes working out fun! This is so important to clients like me as I want/need this to be a permanent lifestyle change. Wendy is a great ambassador for your gym as she makes me feel part of that community
4) Challenge: She challenges me in the most positive of ways – always nudging me to push myself a little beyond what I think I can without ever being pushy. She understands people psychology for staying fit – what motivates and what does not and she is excellent at it
5) Technically proficient: I have learned more in two months with Wendy than I have in years previous. She is so proficient and knowledgeable on how the muscles in the body can be exercised along with nutrition — I learn something new each time I work with her. Love it!
6) Leadership: Wendy manifests all the characteristics of a good leader —
– leads by example (our BL team loves her for that)
– in team environments she motivates others but sees everyone as individuals with unique needs; she is comfortable with leading and that makes her team happy to follow
– she plans ahead – always ready with a plan for me (or our team) when I see her
– passionate about her work – loves people, loves helping people be fit/healthy – she makes you feel passionate about staying fit
– makes hard things fun and motivating
– sincerely cares
– has a vision for her team and each of us as individuals
– understanding and flexibility (I had a particularly difficult day one workout day and she was so flexible and kind to me that day)
– builds community – makes me glad I joined Peak
I could go on here but I’ll stop – Wendy is a great asset to the Peak Community.
I also have the highest praise for the staff I meet each day – your team and the sense of community you have developed in managing your team shines through! I typically don’t join contests but (Wendy talked me into it – did I say she is a good ambassador for your gym?) the Biggest Loser events and training have been great – a lot of work for the staff with big benefits for the participants. All the staff involved, but in particular, Wendy, has made my time at the gym a “Peak” experience for me.
