Every since I started working out with Angie at Positively Fit I have been able to make great changes in my health. With the nutrition guidance I have received I now eat better, not the junk food anymore.

My goal was to put on muscle mass for football and so far after 2 months I have put on 15lbs. of muscle. Along with more muscle I am more flexible, especially in my shoulders which are looser. I am also stronger and faster.

My self-esteem has improved since I have been training by making me feel better in life and just having more fun.

My sessions are intense but they are also fun. The trainers are great, friendly and fun to talk to.

I started Positively Fit in June 2004 I have seen the results on my scale and in my clothes already! I have truly enjoyed my new exercise routine. Maryellen, Angie and Aida are wonderful trainers! They are very conscientious on observing you in class. They monitor your positioning, the weights and your performance - in order to exercise safely and effectively. They give you “individualized” cues to improve your form/posture while you exercise or to just tell you ---“you’re doing a great job!” I have been in other exercises classes at area facilities where the instructors are in front of the class and do not monitor your performance or your ability to do the exercise the correct way which can lead to injuries.

The exercises routines at Positively Fit are challenging and are great workouts! This is a very important factor in my motivation and making me feel POSITIVELY FIT!

Maryellen and Angie,

I wanted to let you know how happy I am with the improvement in my health since working with the team at Positively Fit. Even though I have lost more than 70 pounds, my doctor is more impressed with the fact that I have gone from 35% body fat to 23%. My doctor is also pleased with the improvement in my overall body strength. Because of your guidance with proper nutrition, I am making wiser choices when eating. Although it has been a lot of hard work, I always look forward to coming to your classes.

Recovering from a life threatening illness has been the most challenging thing I’ve ever had to do. It has been with your help, that I feel I am healthier than I have been in twenty years.

Sincerely, Ray Young

Dear Maryellen,

I wanted to express my sincere thanks for many years of guidance, instruction and encouragement. My life became better because of you.

May God bless you always,

Two years ago, I didn’t think I would be physically fit again. Age and arthritis had caught up with me and I could no longer run, walk for miles , or dance like I used to. A friend led me to Positively Fit and between Maryellen and Angie I feel 100% better.

I learned to begin the day with a healthy breakfast, especially a generous helping of protein, instead of the banana and cereal that I usually ate. Maryellen and Angie taught me to work out with weights and the fitness ball as well as training machines and other equipment. I slowly began to build muscle, to gain strength and energy and now I feel trim, firm and healthy.

I pay more attention to my posture and I’ve cut down on the carbohydrates. I’ve learned not to be fearful of trying something new. Maryellen and Angie always have new routines and are able to challenge and excite our group into working harder and better.

The atmosphere in the gym is warm and accepting. Everyone seems to enjoy the sessions and working out together. This is the best thing I have done for myself in many years.

I have been training with Angie for over a year now. She has been working on my posture, balance and toning up my many unused muscles. She has encouraged and motivated me each time to go a little further. With Angie’s help, my posture has improved. It feels so good to be able to take a deep breath and stand-up straighter. When I am walking I can hear Angie telling me to stand up straight and keep those shoulders down and back. I have lost about 19 pounds. I have a goal to be able to circuit like the groups do. I am sure with Angie’s help, I will be able to achieve that goal.

I admire Angie and Maryellen, they practice what they teach. I like how they bounce ideas off each other. They make a great team. I will always think of them as my angels.

I have known Maryellen Jordan professionally for six years. Her standards for competence, ethics and professionalism are unsurpassed. I refer clients to Maryellen frequently and without hesitation. She has demonstrated consistently superior results with her clients no matter their age or physical condition. She has a wide range of interests and skills in her training technique. She instills in her clients a sense of accomplishment, enhanced self-esteem with an exuberance for training and a passion for physical excellence and performance. I wholeheartedly recommend Maryellen Jordan as trainer.

I have known Maryellen since 1996 when she became my personal trainer. I had observed all the personal trainers at the gym for several weeks so that I could select a personal trainer that would safely challenge me and help me move to a higher level of fitness. I selected Maryellen after observing her with other clients.

I was immediately impressed with Maryellen’s interaction with her clients. It was obvious that she had a fitness plan for each client; that each client was treated individually (no "one size fits all" approach); and that her clients were challenged physically, having fun and enjoying their sessions! My observations were confirmed when she began as my personal trainer.

I am an avid tennis player and, as such, core strength, strength of particular muscle groups, and agility are important. I am also 57 yeas old and, therefore balance and flexibility are vital. No session with Maryellen is exactly like another: she plans my sessions and employs different equipment and exercises, always with my goals and needs in mind.

Another aspect of Maryellen’s professionalism is her thirst for knowledge. She is constantly reading and attending continuing education conferences so that she can remain on the forefront of advances in the fitness field.
