Heather Cassils is a thoughtful and responsive trainer who has emphasized health and overall strength for me over cosmetic concerns. She is constantly educating herself, and as a result, keeps it interesting for me in the gym, which used to be the one place where I felt totally lost. But Heather has given me an understanding of the process that has helped me to take control of my health. My highest praise would be to recommend her to those who are dealing with an injury - she has a knack for working on essential areas you haven't given much thought to, that may be the root cause of the injury, repairing a damaged foundation upon which you can rebuild a stronger body. She's terrific - she genuinely seems to care as much about my body and health as I do.

Heather is the ultra uber super best frickin' trainer in the universe.
She is gentle, yet cruel.
She makes me work, work, work my ass off. And that's a lot of ass.
She is solicitous to my (gadillions of) aches and pains and (imaginary) sensitivities.
She is careful not to exacerbate them.
She allows me to rant and kvetch.
She does not make fun of me when I whine.
She still makes me work, work, work.
I kinda hate to exercise. But I always love to see Heather.
And I think I might have abdominal muscles now.
Plus she's got a pretty face and a boys hair cut.
Did I mention she made out with Lady Gaga?
Do not go the gym without Heather. It's just stupid.

Nothing worth doing ever is...but you will attain and then go BEYOND your fitness goals to achieve a healthy and balanced physique. Her 'ever-changing' creative workout routines keep things interesting as does her sharp wit and funny stories. Heather is truly a phenomenal trainer!"

I have been athletic all of my life. At 43- I was convinced I knew what I needed to keep myself in shape. For years I have gone to the gym, jogged, hiked etc. I was spending a lot of time trying feel and look better.
I started training with Heather in February this year. Now- I feel better, and I look better. I have lost weight and redefined my posture, and increased my overall strength.
I no longer stress about getting my workout in. I know I am going to get what I need to make the changes I want. Training with Heather is for anyone that really wants to feel better about Life.

I have worked with Heather, on and off, for a period of three and a half years. During this time she has never faltered in her attention to my needs and my desire to stay fit and develop a healthy physique. Her training methods are rigorous but great fun, and always inventive. I am never bored or fatigued in the wrong way, and always feel thoroughly worked out. During the entire time we have worked together I have never sustained any injury, or felt unduly strained in any way. Her attitude is always extremely positive, very attentive and at all times professional. I can truly say that I would not be the person I am today without Heather. I feel stronger, and physically more confident, than when I was in my twenties.!
I cannot recommend her too highly. She is an excellent trainer, and an extremely personable and gifted person.

I started training with Heather 2 years ago when I was trying to get in shape for my wedding. Not only did Heather motivate and help me reach my wedding goal, but she also inspired me by instilling a lifelong commitment to exercise and diet.
I've worked with several personal trainers in the past but none have ever reached Heather's potential. Her attention to anatomy, kinesiology, and current fitness education coupled with a keen understanding of individual body types, energy levels and personal goals, are truly remarkable. What can I say? Heather is one in a million -- she combines empathy, humor, intelligence, knowledge and motivation into a creative and effective workout experience. I'm 44 years old and have never been stronger. I credit this all to Heather's tutelage. She's absolutely the best!
