What People Are Saying

"So, when I got engaged 2 years ago the first thing on my mind was how I really wanted my arms to look awesome in my strapless dress.  I considered myself to be pretty active, I do ballet a couple times a week as well as running, so I didn't need major amounts of work, just toning.  I interviewed a couple trainers and they were just not the right fit for me, everyone seemed to have their own idea of what I needed to look like.  In walked Izzy.  First of all, Izzy was fun, interesting to talk to and asked me a whole bunch of questions about what I was hoping for out of the training experience.  She was perfect!  Izzy and I worked out every Friday for 18 months, focusing on my "bridal arms".  I found that while I didn't lose much weight, which wasn't my goal, I was really leaning out.  To make a long story short, my arms looked awesome in my dress and I miss Izzy and our workouts so much!  Seattle's loss is Chicago's gain!  I would recommend her highly to anyone who is looking to get in shape, get back into shape, lose weight or just change their body.  Her workouts are custom, she is a great support system and she makes working out fun!"

"I love Isabelle and IzzyFit Personal Training.  If the character of a person reflects outwardly through her business, IzzyFit is shining bright. I've personally worked out with Isabelle and seen awesome results which I couldn't have realized by myself.  It's difficult to push yourself and maintain the concentration necessary to sustain perfect form.  With Isabelle you don't have to think about anything except giving every workout your all. With me she was constantly correcting my form and forcing me to retain control of my muscle contraction, breathing, and focus.  I really enjoyed my time with IzzyFit.  My posture corrected and my back felt much better."

"Izzy is a personal trainer as well as a support system.  I can't say how much I dislike having to exercise.  After spending time with Izzy I realized that I did not need to make such a big deal about it.  All I needed to do was set aside a half hour each day and have some fun.  It worked!  I find myself not wanting to stop. Thanks Izzy for the motivation!"

“I cannot say enough good things about IzzyFit. I'll write out a lot more details below, but the bottom line is Izzy is wonderful and I highly recommend working with her.

I started with Izzy 2 years ago, and can easily say it is one of the best decisions I've ever made for myself and my health. Prior to this, I had never been very physically active and I had always been pretty wary of gyms, trainers, etc. When I set up an appointment to meet Izzy, I was very unsure about starting and worried about embarrassing myself when working out. From my first day meeting with Izzy, not only did my cautiousness/hesitancy around personal training quickly begin to fade, but I became excited about training with her each week and building strength. Two years later, and I see Izzy twice a week for personal training and wish I could go more often.

Izzy's knowledge, infectious enthusiasm, and dedication make each training session fun and motivating. She continuously shifts and updates my workout program so that I'm always engaged, challenged, and building strength and new skills. She is fantastic at modifying exercises so that they best fit my body's ability. Overall, I've learned so much about my body and how it moves over the last two years, and I can now move and lift so much more than I ever have been able to (e.g. band-assisted pull-ups, push-ups, deadlifts, and much, much more). In addition to physical gains, I also feel more comfortable in my body and more confident in my body's strength and abilities.

IzzyFit is also great because of the community involved in training with Izzy. She often has two people train together for each session (although they are each doing their individualized training program). This really builds a sense of community and support around working out. She also owns and trains at TruFit, which is easily the most welcoming, body positive gym I’ve been to. The trainers are friendly, experienced, and encouraging, and the clientele are diverse. The gym makes clear efforts to be inclusive and to support the community. As part of this, there are ongoing fundraising opportunities to support the gym in providing personal training scholarships.

All in all, I highly recommend contacting IzzyFit if you are looking for a great personal training experience. :)”
