Nina Leavins
"I am passionate about taking care of the body, mind and spirit, and have spent 1000's of hours studying, testing and working with self-care components. And at 50 I personally feel stronger and more powerful than ever. I am ramping up for 50 and beyond, not down and this I attribute to the incredible self-care system I have developed through the years for myself and my clients ."

"The people at work see results, my husband sees results, my friends see results. I am stronger, slimmer, have more energy and walk just a little more proudly into any room I come to. I can't say enough good things about Nina Leavins and her programs. She is an enthusiastic, empathic, knowledgeable professional - and she makes me look real good."

"Not only have you inspired me to commit to a healthy, active lifestyle you have made it fun. You are always seeking ways to challenge me. And, I am certainly never bored. Having you as my personal trainer has enhanced all aspects of my life. I have never felt stronger or healthier."

"In addition to my personal fitness regime, I also follow nutritional guidelines that Nina has provided me. I feel strong and fit and that was my goal at the start. I have also lost three dress sizes and 35 pounds. I could not have done it without the expertise, knowledge and motivation from Nina. She also sets a very good example for me as she is in my age group and I admire her physical condition. She is an inspiration to me. I am very satisfied with my results and really must thank Nina for her guidance and encouragement."

"Thank you for all your help these past years. You have shown me an approach to working out that I never would ave thought I would have enjoyed so much. I will be using your stretching and breathing techniques for a lifetime."

The Doctor said it was good that I had muscle in place before the surgery so everything wasn't atrophied which would have resulted in a longer rehabilitation period. So thanks for all the help. PS. I do exercises on the roller and ball at home to keep my upper back in shape. Don't want my posture to go bad again. You had made big improvements for me in that department.

I have known Nina for approximately two years during which time she served as my personal trainer. When I was in the latter stages of rehabilitation from a broken arm I was introduced to her as a person who could do a number of things for me--things I had to do if I were to experience a full recovery. First I was out of conndition as a result of being relatively inactive because of my injury. Nina introduced me to her Program which was a balance of recognizing my condition and the need to be firm but gentle at the same time. In my experience this is not a balance one finds in many trainers. Secondly, I also had a partially frozen shoulder as a result of my arm being in a sling for a prolonged period. of time. Suffice it to say I now have full recovery of both my arm and my shoulder Not bad for a 73-year old. One doctor said it could not be done. To sum up based on my experience I would not hesitate to recommend Nina as a Personal Trainer--she is more than that. Thank you Nina. David K.

You were always furthering your education and developing your passions in order to help people. This takes dedication, discipline and ambition. However, you were always someone who came from a place of 'yes' and openness so that your clients - and myself felt comfortable and at ease, this has to do with your warmth and your true ability to show compassion and trust. Sometimes it felt more like working with a friend and therapist then it did a trainer. You pushed but at the same time were perceptive enough to know how hard to push or not and if a friend or encouragement was needed vs. a drill sergeant. You knew when to give suggestions and it seemed like you knew who would be capable of accepting your direction. You provided inspiration just with all the changes you were willing to make in your own life and this shows ambition and spirit. In three words, how do I feel about our relationship? Honest, fun, discovery. Carolyn S.

Larry R.
"I find Nina to be very professional and knowledgeable. She has been very encouraging which helps in the recovery process. I have noticed more strength and flexibility since my treatments began which would not be possible without Nina's hard work and drive. As a personal trainer I would highly recommend Nina. She is hard working and very dedicated person and will do her best to assist her clients become the best they can be."
Valantina B.
"I know that I speak not only for myself but also for the "group" when I say you have been a wonderful wind blowing in our face, and by consistently raising the bar, you have made us work through the wind and emerge victorious on the other side."

"I'll miss you...I hope to try another trainer but noone can replace Nina! You helped me so much in getting my physical health back and helping me to become less susceptible to recurring injuries. I can't thank you enough!" Jim P.
Sameer H.
"Apart from a few training sessions that I had 15 years ago, I have worked out on my own for most of the time period. I found my workouts to be sporadic, inefficient and lacking focus. Nina worked with me for 10 sessions, concentrating on getting me on a program for the upper body, lower body and abdominals, and planning a proper stretching program. The results have been dramatic. I am now focused, and know exactly what I need to accomplish every week. I feel stronger and more energetic, and have noticed a dramatic difference in my appearence and metabolism in just a few months."

Nina was recommended to me by my physiotherapist after treatment from a serious auto accident in 2004. She set up a rehabilitation program to deal with my damaged right leg and foot which included strength training, breathing exercises and injury specific rehab. I found her holistic approach to my health very beneficial. I went into her program in 2006 with a lot of mobility difficulties and was on crutches and in pain. Today I'm walking unaided, much stronger overall than I could have hoped for thanks to her care. Nina's customized, client specific training has made the difference to my quality of life. I am delighted to recommend her to anyone needing health and training support. She is a great lady and an inspiration to her clients.

Nina was my personal trainer for 11/2 years. During that time I improved my strength, general health and attitude toward exercise. Nina Leavins taught me to listen to my body and train in a way that keeps me interested and upbeat and I have had excellent results with this approach. I used to get discouraged if I missed a work-out or had a "bad" work-out. Nina showed me how to get my mind around those roadblocks and maintain a positive attitude toward health and fitness. Though I have been an on and off gym-goer for 20 years I have never exercised as regularly, as positively and with the same level of results as since I started working with Nina.
