"Joining a gym last year was one of the best decisions I made, but I felt I really needed guidance as I worked out. When my son asked me what I wanted for Christmas, I immediately told him I wanted a gift of personal training. After hearing glowing reports from a fellow teacher about a petite young trainer, I knew exactly the name of the person to help me reach my goals, Samantha Prestenbach. At first I felt really wakward as I tried to exercise, but Sam encouraged me and tried to set my mind at ease. She showed me the right techniques to accomplish the most from exercising. She even e-mailed me a diet plan for me. Never in my 56 years had I lifted weights, but I was determined to do what Sam taught me. I began to see a dramatic difference in my energy level. The more I exercised the better I felt mentally and physically! What a difference personal training with Sam has made in the quality of my life! I have gained strength, flexibility, and endurance. In only two month I have lost 15 pounds and two dress sizes. I tell everyone I meet about my new way of life. If you don't believe me, just ask my students at Mandeville High! I am exercising with many of them. Thanks, Sam, for helping me to "Lift Strong and Live Long""
