FF Testimonials

“I have known Debbie almost from the beginning of her career.  I think I am probably one of her oldest clients in years (I have just turned 60!) as well as in the amount of time I have worked out with her ( approx. 12 or 13 years.)  She is responsible not only for teaching me about living a more healthful life with exercise and nutrition but for the following:  Debbie got me to do my first triathlon, she has taught me yoga, strength training and now pilates. Debbie continues to learn and teach what she learns.

Debbie truly walks the talk! An added benefit has been meeting other folks through Debbie who enjoy these same activities.  My husband and I have traveled with these friends and have enjoyed social time while competing in half marathons, etc. When I miss a week without doing something at Debbie’s studio, my week does not seem complete.”

“I had one primary goal in preparing for my cycling trip through Provence, France:  I didn’t want to be the weakest link; the one everyone is waiting for at the top of the hill.  With the help of Debbie and her circuit training classes I wasn’t.  In fact, I was consistently in the middle of the pack.  Having a stronger core/upper body improved my endurance, especially on several of the hill climbs to those cute little castle towns throughout Provence. I was much quicker to recover each day and didn’t have to use the “sag van” this trip. Debbies circuit training classes are almost like having a one-on-one personal trainer experience; nothing slips by her, and she’s always looking for ways to push you a little further than the week before. Getting stronger is actually fun! ”

“I am very happy about my decision to train with Debbie.  The personal attention I get even in a group environment is second to none–Its about proper form and function.  She genuinely looks out for the well being of all of her clients and keeps us all motivated no matter what our personal athletic goals.  Since beginning with Fitness Forward I have become a stronger and more confident Triathlete, finished my first Ironman in under 12 hours and am working towards qualifying for the Boston Marathon…Thanks Debbie for all that I have accomplished!”  -Caitlin Norton

” Working out with Fitness Forward is really fun.  The running group and Wednesday night track workouts are terrific.  My daughters and I also enjoy the circuit training classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays — it’s a nice way to add some diversity to your fitness and strength training.  Overall, Debbie has a great balance of expertise, enthusiasm, and common sense.”  -Joe S
