It is amazing how one person who you only see for one hour twice a week can change your life.  I have been a client of Jackie Tadych now for almost three years, and it is in this time that she has changed my life for the better.  I have never been an overweight woman, but I also never knew how to challenge myself and my body, and because of these things, my body began to show signs of aging way before I was ready.  At 39 years old, I had chronic back pain, and I was always feeling fatigued.  Jackie was able to strengthen my core so that my back pain essentially disappeared.  During our workouts, which are always a highlight of my week, she would teach me so many new things, vary the workout and the equipment that we used, and always tried to teach me in the process, so that when alone I could fend for myself.  She also made me see the mistakes in my diet and reeducated me on what and how to eat.  If this had only affected just me that would have been enough.  But Jackie’s commitment to healthy eating and living has changed how my family of five eats as well.  She has made us healthier and for that I am forever grateful.  Jackie was also very accommodating with changes in scheduling and would do her best to train me even if it meant juggling her own schedule.  She never lets me give up; if anything she has taught me that I can do anything I set my mind to.  This May I am running a half marathon.  Jackie’s commitment, her knowledge, her willingness to always try and experiment with new things and to ask and adjust makes her the kind of trainer who anyone would be lucky to have.  Working out has become a part of my daily routine.  I eat better than I have ever have.  I am no longer tired, and this is all in testimony to Jackie.
