Mia has been my personal trainer for more than three years. She focuses on my specific needs and has helped me gain strength and agility and fight osteoporosis. – Sue G.
Mia keeps the workout routines fresh and not boring. I work harder with a trainer than I would ever by myself. Since working with Mia, my blood pressure and cholesterol are down and all my blood work is in the normal range. Mia is able to adapt my workouts to my personal needs. If my knees are acting up, we can modify the workout and still have a good training session. When I started working with Mia, I had a recurring shoulder problem. By focusing on strengthening my shoulder muscles and core, the problem has not reoccurred. My golf game has improved and is more consistent with the core strengthening, balance and flexibility work Mia has provided. I always feel better after a good workout with Mia. – Nancy C.

If your schedule cannot regularly include group classes; if you are uncomfortable in a group setting; if you have specific goals or injuries to accommodate; or if you just want assurance that your form is correct, then a private session is just what you need. Private sessions at Transform NOLA are yoga, Pilates, strength and resistance training, or a combination of any of the three. My goal is to design a program that fits your temperament, your body and your goals.
I was first a yoga teacher and then became a personal trainer. As a result, my perspective on "working out" is one of moderation and paying attention to the body's signals. This approach will make you sore but not debilitated and will mentally make it easier for you to attend your sessions -- I want it to be something that you look forward to, not dread.
As a 500-RYT (
Yoga Alliance) vinyasa yoga teacher and an ACE (
American Council on Exercise) certified personal trainer, I strive to make your sessions fun, interesting and challenging. Strength and resistance training includes the
TRX Suspension Training system and other equipment. Functional exercises address the body as a whole, not as individual parts. Pilates and yoga will lengthen and strengthen the muscles, as well as establish the mind/body connections. In all disciplines, the core is emphasized so that you'll be functionally stronger and less prone to injury. I accommodate your unique issues and create a plan to address the areas that you want to strengthen, re-balance or tone. Whether you're an experienced exerciser or have never exercised before, I can create a successful program for you.
Private sessions are a partnership. I will show up and do the work – you need to commit to do the same. That includes the necessary work when we’re not together – taking care of yourself mentally and nutritionally. I will be your cheerleader and you will be accountable to me. I will keep in touch with you and keep you motivated. But the best motivator is experiencing and seeing the results for yourself. If you train consistently, eat right, sleep right and have a good mental attitude, you will achieve your goals.
The best results come from incorporating small lifestyle changes that, over time, make a big difference. I don’t want you to be fit for just next month or six months from now, but years from now. And all because we were able to come up with an approach to fitness that you could live with.
There is
no charge for your initial consultation. If we decide that we can work together, I will create a training schedule and recommendations to address your goals and needs. Click
