I am a 67-year-old man who is a bit overweight but in decent shape. My goal was to prevent future injuries like shoulder replacement or falling down and having a hip replacement. About a year ago, I was lucky enough to have met Elana for personal training. Elana has been a godsend. With her guidance, I am more steady on my feet. I am walking upright — instead of leaning forward. Whereas before I could not do one repetition, I am now doing easily 10. Where I used to sweat easily, I am not. Elana pays close attention so that if notices that I twitched or winced or cannot do an exercise, she will ask where it hurts. Normally, I would dismiss it. But not Elana. Elana will identify the problem and then we do another exercise so that I can stretch that muscle. She is always spot on! In areas where muscles were tight, they move freely. In areas where my muscles were loose, they are now firm. I am very lucky to have met Elana. And you will too.

I can honestly say that working with Elana Zobin has been life-changing. We achieved more through my focused, twice-a-week sessions than I had after *months* and countless hours of rehab working with physical and occupational therapists. The progress I’ve made (and continue to make) has been remarkable—and I owe much of that success to Elana.
Elana combines an intuitive sense of body mechanics with a wealth of knowledge about fitness and medical exercise expertise: she sees where you’re at, determines where you *could* be—and then tailors an exercise plan to help you reach your potential.
She pushes you but safely—and continually evolves the workouts so that you keep making progress. She’s also an excellent motivator who gives helpful, real-time feedback (e.g., “shoulders back!” “squeeze your core!”)—ensuring you’re doing the exercise correctly while also maximizing its effectiveness.
Elana clearly has a passion for fitness and for helping people achieve their fitness and rehabilitation goals… I feel very fortunate for having been able to work with her!
