Special situations are my specialty

I have experience working with a number of physical considerations such as various forms of cancer, chronic disease, eating disorders, neurological disorders/impairment, orthopedic implants, pregnancy/postpartum (including IVF and high risk), spinal pathologies, and vision impairment. I’ll listen to you. Really listen. And if you have health care providers who are treating you, I’ll coordinate with them to incorporate their recommendations too.

“I owe my trouble-free pregnancy and postpartum experience to Ilene’s work. Her experience and knowledge of the body, and the pregnant body in particular, set her apart from any trainer I’ve worked with in the past.”

–AS

“The sessions I had with Ilene showed her to be a highly skilled, deeply caring, intelligent, and intuitive professional with a wide range of modalities upon which to draw in her treatment goals and approaches. Ilene goes beyond what is required to understand what is truly needed for a holistic approach to well-being.”

- KK

Over the years, as a woman going from her 30’s to 40’s, I’ve had myriad of health issues. Ilene, unsolicited, shared any information she was able to find and, when appropriate, incorporated it into our work. I see the impact our sessions have in the progress I make physically, mentally and spiritually.

I notice I am motivated to strive for and reach higher goals for myself outside of our training. She is absolutely unequaled; a true treasure.”

-AB

“Ilene is a fabulous trainer and motivator. Her experience and education -- combined with her enthusiasm -- make her an excellent instructor. I had spinal surgery many years ago while in high school, only to have significant pain and an increasing curvature occur later. Ilene worked with me to develop a customized program over time ... I now look forward to getting into the pool and going to the gym, knowing that the program is alleviating my pain and helping me to feel more active again.”

-NH

“Ilene is amazing. Her way of working has enabled to surpass my own expectations. I am in better shape now than I thought I could be. My perceptions of what I can do and how to treat my body have totally changed.. She’s my partner in the business of a healthier life.”

FAQ

Got a question? We have answers!

I’m interested in training with you. What are the next steps?

Click here to go to our Contact Us page where you can schedule a free 15-minute phone consultation. We’ll talk about where you’re at and where you want to go. My assistant may help us set a time to chat.

Can people at any fitness level train with you?

Absolutely. Our philosophy is about working with your body. That means whatever your skill level or condition; we start and progress from there.

I can only train with you occasionally. How can I keep progressing?

You are not alone! Besides Skype sessions, several people have found “home programs’ to be a lifesaver. The workouts are easily able to see you through weeks or even months at a time. You can even video the exercises during our in-person sessions to use as a reference with your home program. Home programs are designed for what you need: workouts for hotel rooms, long drives, outdoors…you name it.

What if I need to reschedule or cancel my appointment, session or event?

Let us know by email, phone, text or any combo, as soon as you know you will need to reschedule. Cancellations for appointments must be made by phone; notice by email as a backup measure is recommended. Please see the appropriate cancelation terms for your booking below:

Fitness Coaching Appointments Cancellations must be made a minimum of 24 hours in advance to avoid being charged. Additional notice is encouraged and appreciated. Monday appointments must be canceled by 12 pm on Friday
Custom Classes Terms for classes are determined by several factors. We’ll discuss at time of booking.
Consulting Packages and Training Events Terms for events and packages are determined on individual basis. We’ll discuss at time of booking. If you have a Project Agreement with us, these terms will also be included on your Agreement.
