I started training with Nina Caron several years ago as I was looking to improve overall strength and stability. I was concerned about losing muscle and had noticed that I was losing my ability to stabilize. Nina has thoughtfully designed our workouts with my goals in mind and, at the same time, has encouraged me to safely and effectively push my limits. This has empowered me tremendously both physically and mentally. Our training was put to the test for sure about a week and a half ago. I had spent a long day working in the yard and was exhausted by day’s end. As I was heading down the stairs, I lost my balance and was about to fall down the stairs. However, because of the strength and stability program Nina has provided, I was able to right myself during the fall. So thankful to Nina and her awesome training. Nina is a true professional and I would highly recommend her to anyone!

I feel very lucky to have Nina as my personal trainer. She and I work together every week on an exercise program that helps me maintain my current fitness and preventative fitness needs. I can always count on Nina to give me the absolute best advice that is state-of-the-art and custom fit to what I need. She is very personable, knowledgeable and professional. In a world of confusing exercise programs, Nina stands out as the gold standard for personal fitness!

We started buddy training with Nina several years ago at Yang’s Fitness. Both of us had been competitive athletes for years, but full-time work, commuting, and parenting was taking a toll on our health. Nina put together a customized workout that was challenging, fun, and varied. Over the past few years we’ve seen steady improvement in our strength, flexibility, balance, and immune system health. When we transitioned to working out at home last spring, Nina adapted our training plan so we can work out in the backyard or living room. She is a constant source of support and encouragement, coaching us through every session with expertise, creativity, and patience.

Nina has been such a good trainer to me either in person or, during these times, virtually. She is proficient in both mediums. In the time I have been training with her my balance, strength, dexterity, posture, form and all around toning have all improved. She has been very patient with me giving me directions, repeating herself, showing me the exercises (sometimes more than once) and answering questions all with professional patience and kindness. Her technique is such that the workouts are not the same each week. She targets certain muscle groups for strength and always with a good measure of cardio for calorie burn.   She has been a wonderful trainer in all aspects. She is able to keep an eye to make sure we are doing the exercise correctly and gives me quick feedback to correct my  form . She also does the frog jumps right along with us. She frequently modifies the exercise or routine to suit the individual needs of all the  group members; sometimes without any notice or even in the middle of the exercise.  She is very aware of the group and constantly interacts to keep everyone motivated. Although sometimes she does lose count. (haha), she is always there for us in many ways with positive reinforcement. She has been wonderful to work with and because of her I have become stronger and more balanced. Thank you Nina, much appreciated.

Nina's foremost interest is helping her clients achieve their goals. She has been instrumental in transforming my awareness of the importance of nutrition and the fundamental role it plays in wellness and athletic performance.  Most significantly, Nina's personal work ethic provides inspiration and a sense of what's possible through a fitness/wellness (or other word that makes better sense) journey; she is a role model to all.

Working with Nina is a true gift. Her pragmatic approach to nutrition helped me to focus on eating mindfully and making good choices to improve my overall wellness and energy level, without sacrificing taste or slaving away in the kitchen. And our weekly training sessions over Zoom have literally saved me during these uncertain times. My strength, flexibility, endurance and stability are all way up since the pandemic began, building on the solid foundation we established in person beforehand. I trust her completely and can't wait to blow past my fitness goals and then create new ones.

I recently had my first baby, and Nina's workouts were an essential part of my prenatal experience. Once my doctor cleared me to resume exercising, Nina worked closely with me to tailor my sessions to meet my postpartum needs. My baby was breech, so I needed a c-section. Nina keeps me focused on restoring my core strength and stability, all the while adjusting our routine as my body recovers throughout my postpartum journey. In addition to regaining the strength I've lost, Nina takes extra care to work my real-world needs into our exercises so that I'm not only developing the strength I need, but the proper technique to ensure I don't injure myself in the future. Proper posture and maneuvers to lift an ever-growing baby is a critical part of our workouts. Hauling around a big, heavy baby, especially after a c-section is no joke! Many new parents wind up hurting their backs from the physical toll, so Nina keeps my workouts focused on different stretches and strengthening exercises to avoid those kinds of injuries. But aside from my recovery, what I enjoy most about my workouts with Nina is that as I grow stronger, I feel more confident and comfortable with myself and my postpartum body. The experience has helped me embrace this new part of my life and the changes to my body from pregnancy and having a C-section.
