“Over the five years I've been working with Janelle she has always gone above and beyond to make sure my fitness journey not only stay on track, but that it is a fun one as well. I cannot overstate the positive impact Janelle has had on my life - from "doing the motions" at the gym to truly enjoying fitness and looking forward to the next workout. Going from "showing up" to "putting in my best every time", even when she's not there to keep an eye on me! For me personally she was able to find that perfect balance between encouragement in honing existing skills and pushing me outside my comfort zone. In doing so she's not only not only helped me reach ever increasing goals, put good habits in place, and generally feel much better and healthier, but she's also helped me find whole new sports and areas of fitness that I now love and consider core parts of my lifestyle and training regimen. You can tell that she truly cares about her clients in the way she makes herself available both inside and outside of the gym and your scheduled session, and she's always there to celebrate victories be they small or big. I highly recommend working with Janelle, your life is sure to change for the better in doing so.”

“I worked with Janelle for over a year and she is by far the best trainer I ever had. I wanted to improve my agility and movement and she did exactly that. She is very detail oriented and has very high energy. All the training sessions were so much fun. Unfortunately I had to move to another state and stop training with her. I would recommend Janelle to anyone interested in getting fitter. She is the best!”

“This lady is absolutely amazing! She got me to my weight and workout goal with a lot of patience and encouragements.

To celebrate reaching my goal she ran my first 5K with me and under 28minutes!

She just ROCKS!!!”

“First time I met Janelle I couldn’t even do one single sit-up. Now I can do more.

With a perfect mix of push and cheere, laughter and seriousness she turned me from “queen of comfort” to a woman welcoming a challenge.

I had no idea I loved sweating and aching muscles. But obviously I do, so I keep coming back.

Thank you Janelle, for being a big part of changing my life.”

“Every single session I’ve had with Janelle it’s always filled with high energy and a positive attitude and it helps motivate me to want to come to every session no matter how I am feeling that day. She will work with anyone and everyone no matter what their fitness level is and always adjusts and scales it accordingly to fit your needs. At the end of every session I find myself wanting more and I don’t know how she does that!

She leads a very healthy active lifestyle and is a positive role model for me not only in fitness, but also nutrition, sleep, hydration etc. Since I’ve started working with her I was able to climb Kilimanjaro and summit Machu Picchu at the age of 62 years old.

On my 62nd birthday she encouraged me to do 62 burpees and I surprised myself by being able to do all 62 on my own and it felt good!! It’s been a fun journey with her and I can’t wait to see what the near future holds with Janelle by my side.”

“I cannot put into words how much Janelle did for us as our personal trainer. We were able to work with Janelle during the pandemic which was such a tough time for everyone mentally and physically. Janelle was not only a fitness anchor during this time, she was a trainer, supporter and friend. She is one of few people in my life that I feel could do anything. Her physical and mental strength can never be matched and it is always with the biggest smile on her face and care in her heart.”

-David Jones and Wayne Peters

“I have been training with Janelle for more than 5 years now and I always look forward to my sessions with her. Janelle’s passion for her job and improving her clients’ health, mobility and strength is evident in everything that she does. Over the years Janelle tailored her sessions to help me focus on new movements as I was improving in other areas. During the COVID lockdown, she took the time to understand the equipment that I had at home and helped build special sessions that I can do using my personal equipment and furniture around the house. She constantly follows up in and off sessions to make sure that her clients are on track and are getting the support that they need. Her energy and dedication to sports is contagious. It is always a pleasure to train with Janelle.”

-Ahmed Metwally

“I began training with Janelle about 5 years ago and have continued weekly or biweekly trainings with her ever since. She was willing to train me the way I wanted, cross fit style but without so much cardio. At one point she also worked with my physical therapist to make sure I was getting more stable and strong where I needed it.

I have been so happy with her as my trainer and can't imagine seeing anyone else. She somehow knows exactly how far to push me in a session and within individual exercises. If I want to do something specific she's more than happy to accommodate. If I need to take it easier, we do that too.

What stands out most to me about Janelle is her constant joy for teaching fitness and positive attitude about everything. Every small gain is worth so much to her which has made me more confident that it's all a step in the right direction. I've achieved a level of fitness I didn't know I could get to in my early 40s and that has been worth all of the sweat. Thank you Janelle for being there with me every step of the way on my fitness journey. Let's keep it going!”

-Hillary Gerber

“Training with Janelle for the past two years has been a great experience. She is knowledgeable, professional, friendly, positive, and reliable. I highly recommend her as a personal trainer.

Her experience as a personal trainer shows as she comes up with good training plans that keep you going for the hour, working a variety of muscle groups to keep you going for the hour, and she effortlessly improvises as needed due to equipment being in use, last-minute requests, or injuries. She is a keen observer of technique... if I mess something up completely she will correct me right away. If I'm doing something small wrong, she'll politely correct me sometimes, other times she'll give me a chance to figure it out on my own, in which case I always get some positive reinforcement when I get it right.”

-Trevor Johnson

“Janelle is an outstanding personal trainer, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Janelle has worked with me for several years and she is an incredibly knowledgeable and inspirational training partner. When we met, I was out of shape, overweight and in my 50s, and was introduced to Janelle through a mutual friend in a comprehensive metabolic/lifestyle improvement program. Janelle was very goal focused (my goals) and developed a training program that progressively moved me to my goals with a rigorous attention to injury avoidance through an engaging variety of strength, cardio, flexibility, and agility activities. As I progressed, Janelle mixed things up and increasingly incorporated activities that I enjoyed (e.g. squash, cycling, basketball) which made the workouts even more satisfying. I continued to work regularly with Janelle after finishing that program and through her coaching developed habits that have helped me to stay active and in shape. In addition to being a highly gifted and motivational personal trainer, Janelle is a wonderful person and a lot of fun.”

-David Wilson

“Janelle is a powerhouse of energy and enthusiasm, and my early morning workout with her just sets an excellent tone to my day. She comes to every session full of smiles and encouragement, pushes me just enough to get me out of my comfort zone but keeps checking in to ensure I'm doing fine :) I am not a morning person, but knowing that I'll be seeing her for my workout makes me get out of bed for every single session!! I am so grateful for her training and support, and feel a big difference in my strength and stamina since I started training with her!!”

-Neha Goswana

★★★★★

“Janelle is an amazing trainer. She has a fun, positive attitude and loves what she does. So even if you do not feel like working out, by the end of the session you are feeling much better. She has the ability to help you reach beyond your goals. I always second guess my abilities but she knows what I am capable of more than I do. She knows which days I need to be pushed harder, and when I need to scale back. She is committed to seeing her clients reach their goals, even if that means competing right alongside you.”

-Latosha Smith

“I want to thank you for all the training, help, and encouragement you have given me. I think you are very sincere about how you work with people. You always focused on helping me achieve my goals, understanding my issues and limitations. You have really helped me improve my physical fitness. On top of being a very insightful and knowledgeable trainer, I think you are very personable, and you make every workout session fun and different. I feel you push me further towards my goals yet never past my comfort level.

What impresses me about you is how you know my strength ability, what weights and exercises are appropriate for me. Working with you over the past few years I feel my physical fitness, form and lifting technique have improved significantly and am very satisfied with the progress that you helped me achieve. I keep recommending you to all my friends and colleagues for the fitness training needs.

Thanks again for all your help and wonderful training.”

“I work at a tech company and during Covid, I was working from home and sitting at the computer for 8-10 hours a day. My range of motion became noticeably impacted so as things started to open back up, I started training twice a week with Janelle in January. Already I have noticed a huge difference in flexibility and being able to move in ways that I haven’t for years, even before the pandemic. Janelle has been great at explaining the exercises to me, showing me new machines and equipment, and pushing me to go further than I would push myself. I would strongly recommend training with her too if you too want to make a positive change in your physical health.”

-Ben Pocek

★★★★★

“Janelle was my third personal trainer. Working with her is the first time I felt like I could really be strong, not just fit. Janelle has a way of building a relationship and instilling confidence that is unmatched. She mixes up workouts and keeps things fun and motivating, and she mentors, models and encourages a healthy lifestyle. I highly recommend working out with her!”

-Louise Johnson

★★★★★

“I worked with Janelle for 3 months, 3 times a week, as part of a special transformation program. Janelle was always positive, encouraging and getting me to go beyond where I thought I could. Working with her was the kickstart I needed to start the weight loss process. My weight had been stuck on a plateau and after over a year of no change, I lost 12 pounds during the time I worked with Janelle. I highly recommend her as a personal trainer.”

-Kat McGavick

★★★★★

“Janelle has been my personal trainer for over a year now and has motivated me by coaching me on the right way to train and think about my fitness. Her dedication has been amazing.

I've never been excited about strength training but under her guidance, I really enjoy working out at the gym! She makes even my hardest days easy - she approaches my training in a nurturing way (which is exactly what I need).

I have thoroughly enjoyed having her be my cheerleader and continue to work with her because of how tough yet adoring she is.

Her devotion to her clients is just remarkable!”

“If you’re looking for someone that’s really going to challenge you, and help you meet your goals then look no further, Janelle is the trainer for you! Janelle really takes the time to get to know you, designs workouts that fit your needs, and really encourages you. Janelle is very knowledgeable, and passionate about fitness and not only teaches you about fitness, she lives that lifestyle. She actually makes working out fun.”

-Lisa Yeager

★★★★★

“Janelle was my personal trainer in the last 4 months. I'm not a person with a natural inclination towards sports activities, if anything the opposite, so i was concerned about committing to personal training sessions. However, Janelle's passion, insatioable positivity, and energy were irresistible and i found myself waiting for our time together. The exercises were catered to my abilities and capabilities all while challenging me to get better. I would highly recommend Janelle not just as a personal trainer but as a source of motivation for anyone who needs some.”

-Ishai Shvartz

★★★★★

“Janelle is one of the best trainers I have ever had. She is positive, experienced, and really tailor every workout to each client. She makes each workout fun and challenging, and provides explanation on why the moves matter, and how it can help you progress to your goals. She is not afraid to push you, but respects and listens to your body. Her sessions often go beyond the hour you work with her, she is known to check in on you throughout the week to make sure you are following through on the workouts that you promise her you will do!”

-Tracey Zheng

★★★★★

“Janelle is the best coach I’ve ever worked with! I ended up losing 50+lbs in under a year with her expertise in fitness which also included a warm smile, kind heart and motivating physical endeavors for many activities that she is passionate about. She has always been a trusted coach, friend, and mentor and I can’t imagine how I could workout without her! I would highly recommend as you will find yourself achieving your results and also have a good time while working out!”

-Wendy Chen

★★★★★

“I started working with Janelle because I felt that i was hitting a plateau in progressing in certain Crossfit movements. She quickly identified the areas I needed to work on to help in making progress on those movements again, and setup a weekly program to work me through it. She kept the movements varied on a weekly basis to keep things interesting, knew exactly when to push and when to hold off, and she always kept our sessions light hearted and fun! I started making progress in the movements I was stuck on within weeks.”

“Janelle is a Rockstar personal trainer!! She communicates frequently and will work closely with you to accommodate schedules. She is keen to help you meet your goals and motivates you to reach those goals. She is an accomplished athlete herself and that in itself is quite motivating. She is very personable and happy! Always a bright spot in my day. We always have conversations about our dogs and I can tell she really enjoys her other side gig of hosting other’s pets in her home with her awesome Doodle.”

-Terri Jordan

★★★★★

“I met Janelle in EMT School and absolutely loved her energy! We got along right away and we started chatting about working out and how I had always wanted to work with a personal trainer. Janelle didn't hesitate to offer up her services and expertise in the workout world. Our sessions together were always very professional but fun and sweaty at the same time! I got to meet her sweet dog Kobe in my first workout session out of Janelles home gym and remember thinking how well trained Kobe was! This sort of energy is exactly what I needed in a workout environment! Thank you Janelle for everything and I look forward to future workouts together and Kobe Kisses!”

She listens to your goals and customizes an overall health plan that will make you feel strong, proud and happy with your results. I highly recommend her. You will be very impressed, not only in her fitness but in her outstanding character and love of life!”

“I've been training with Janelle one on one for a couple of years now. The hours I spend with her are some of the best hours I spend every week, as I always leave the session feeling better than when I walked in.

Janelle is a great trainer, and she has a very relaxed style which immediately put me at ease. However, relaxed doesn't mean she doesn't push me. Janelle understands that training a senior is different than training a twenty-year old. The sessions are challenging and allow me to make progress every week. We started this training program by establishing goals, and we revisit those goals periodically.

As a result of her coaching, my fitness levels have improved. I'm noticing many positive physical changes, and my overall mood is better (which is a bonus for everyone). Best of all, often we have a good laugh, and I benefit from using my training sessions as a “forcing function” to ensure I get into the gym.”

“This is the first time we have used Rover for boarding and Janelle helped reassure us all along the way. Janelle and her dog took great care of our dog. She sent lots of videos and pics every day. They also went on walks all day long! I did not have to worry about our dog being bored or lonely like at a kennel. Highly recommend Janelle and Kobe!”

-Tami (Dog Stella the Labradoodle)

★★★★★

“This was my first experience with Rover, and I was a little nervous about leaving our fur-baby, Lila, with someone new. Janelle was fantastic! Our dogs had an advance meet ‘n greet and got along well. For the duration of Lila’s stay, Janelle sent daily pics and video clips, which everyone in the family enjoyed, knowing that she was safe, well-cared for, and having a blast. Lila and Kobe looked like best friends. It was extra nice to have a buddy that was interested in playing and tugging. Janelle took them on walks and to the dog park daily -- a great way for Lila to burn energy and not miss her family too much. Now that we’re back home, I think she misses Janelle and Kobe!”

-MJ (Dog Lila the Portugese Water Dog)

“Janelle was absolutely wonderful. She sent consistent updates and her pup Kobe was the perfect play mate for my dog Zeus. She took him on multiple walks and on trips to the dog park. She was also so accommodating during the Seattle snow storm that extended our trip away. If you’ve had bad experiences with boarding places or other sitters look no further than Janelle. She will make leaving your pet behind the least stressful part of your trip.”

“Janelle is the best and the most caring doggie sitter to our 4-legged baby. He comes home happy, tired and clearly well taken care of, while we stay informed throughout his stay with Janelle. Janelle sends regular updates, along with photos and videos. And Janelle’s dog Kobe is the best play buddy! Working with Janelle is a breeze. I will always look forward to going back to Janelle for dog care and I will sleep well on my vacations knowing that Wilson is in good hands. Thank you so much for taking good care of Wilsie!”

“We were over the top pleased with Janelle who boarded our golden doodle, Finley, for 5 nights! She made us feel very comfortable in leaving Finley in her care. She communicated multiple times a day and sent many pics of Finley playing with her doodle Kobe. She was super active with multiple outings with the dogs and you could tell she genuinely cares and made sure they got their exercise! We would use her again for sure!”

— Patrick H. (Dog Finley the Golden Doodle)

“Janelle is amazing! I highly recommend her! She had great communication, sent lots of pictures and videos, and was super flexible with my changing pick up schedule. My dog Piper had the best time playing with her dog. Piper was able to run around in her backyard, go on walks, and played in the park! I’m so glad I found Janelle and will definitely be using her again in the future!”

— Catherine L. (Dog Piper the Doodle)

“Leaving our Bernedoodle, Thea, with Janelle was like dropping Thea off at happy dog camp :) Thea got along so well with Janelle’s dog. I could tell they had fun over the long weekend because Janelle kept me updated with great videos of the dogs on walks and playing in the house. I really appreciate how active and attentive Janelle was with the dogs. I was definitely confident that Thea was in great hands!”

“Janelle is truly the best pet sitter I could imagine! Whenever I leave Rio with her (and Kobe and Josh), I know he will be well taken care off, safe and loved. She is the best communicator, sends pictures, videos and updates which we appreciate greatly. I trust Janelle immensely with my dog and I know I can leave Rio with my mind being at ease. We love you Janelle, thank you for being the best!“

“Our dog Etta has stayed with Janelle and her dog Kobe a few times now, and we've had a really positive experience every time. We get frequent updates, photos, and videos while we're away, and Etta's tail is always wagging. We never have any concerns about her during our trips--she's obviously getting great care and having a ton of fun. We're so grateful we found Janelle and Kobe, and we'll book them again whenever we can!”

-Brian (Etta’s Owner)

“On multiple occasions I have used Janelle to care for my two miniature dachshunds, Tinker and Belle. Janelle is a very responsible person, and she enjoys caring for animals. She loves playing with dogs, and she often sends pictures of the dogs to me while they are under her care – either out on a walk or lounging about on the couch while she is with them.

She often brings her golden doodle Kobe with her, and he is wonderful with the dachshunds. They appear to enjoy spending time socializing with him, as they get to run with the “big dog”. I highly recommend her for pet sitting. She does a great job and your pets will love her too.”

-Mark (Owner of Tinker and Belle)

Janelle is absolutely a blessing. The care, love and attention Mocha has received is everything that I was hoping for and more. She will be our go to person for Mocha. Kobe is absolutely adorable and a well trained companion ❤️
