GBfasten your seatbelt, it's a long one but worth your time When I first began my journey with Roxie, I was at rock bottom, both physically and emotionally. Desperate for a solution, I reached out to Roxie, and she listened to my struggles with genuine empathy. In that brief encounter, I had never felt more heard and understood by a trainer, which is why I decided to work with her. As a mother and personal trainer, my life was a whirlwind of responsibilities, leaving me grappling with numerous issues related to my nutrition, training, and overall well-being. My body was burdened by a slew of troubling symptoms: severe bloating, recurring cystic acne, sporadic hives and rashes, extreme fatigue, emotional instability, and an overall sense of being far from my usual positive and happy self. Roxie's initial focus was on my nutrition. Given my demanding schedule, including five to six days of training, a full client roster, school runs, and shuttling my daughter to countless after-school activities, she wanted to gain insight into how and what I was fueling my body with, given my demanding lifestyle. After two weeks of tracking, eliminating problematic foods, reducing training intensity to allow for recovery, and monitoring my sleep patterns closely, Roxie identified several key issues. She discovered that I was significantly under-eating, particularly in terms of protein intake for my level of physical activity. Additionally, I was not getting adequate sleep, and certain foods in my diet seemed to be worsening my problems. Despite my best efforts, there was no significant improvement in my symptoms after a few weeks. At this point, Roxie recommended that we gather concrete data on my internal gut health. Following her recommendation, I underwent a series of tests, including blood tests, a GI Map test, and food sensitivity tests. The results were both shocking and relieving. My gut harbored high levels of three different parasites, and I was suffering from Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), a stomach bacterial infection. My white blood cell count was alarmingly low, and I had an underactive thyroid gland. Additionally, many of my other markers, were below or at the lower end of acceptable reference levels. The data also revealed that my everyday go to foods like bananas, avocados, black tea, and collard greens, among others, were highly reactive and contributing to my symptoms. Receiving these results marked the true beginning of our journey. I was prescribed supplements based on my test results by the doctor, and Roxie worked alongside me to support my healing journey through nutrition, stress management, and recovery techniques. Roxie emphasized that healing the gut can sometimes resemble a marathon rather than a sprint, urging me to trust the process and exercise patience. Now, about 8 months into my recovery journey, I can confidently say that I'm feeling stronger than ever. I've achieved personal records in my training, recover faster, my acne has vanished, bloating is rare, and I'm feeling like my usual self again. Roxie truly stands out as a beacon of light in the world of personal training. Without the safe and supportive environment she created, her wealth of knowledge, and unwavering guidance, I might still be at rock bottom. I cannot express my gratitude enough to Roxie for the incredible journey thus far, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to everyone seeking to transform their health and well-being.

CAIf Roxie says something, I will do it! I started training with Roxie during pandemic and never looked back. She literally changed my life by making me fall in love with strength training overall. Her teaching cues during classes are impeccable and helps you maintain great form which is the most important part about the training. She is also extremely knowledgable and has answer to all my questions all the time. I recently also took her nutrition course and it was eye opening in so many way. Her practical and sustinable ways of building a healthy relationship with food will settle you for life. I cannot thank her enough for making such an incredible impact on my fitness journey. If Roxie says something, I will do it!

GBRoxie is the best! Roxie is the best!! I initially reached out to Roxie because I was both eager and hesitant to get back to strength training after dealing with neck/back issues. I knew I couldn't train as I had before and felt unsure as to how to get back into the swing of things. Month after month, Roxie has crafted intentional programs for me, being mindful of the modifications that I may need. For that I am very grateful. Roxie has also taught me so much about proper form, core engagement, and breathwork... AND I learned how much protein my body actually needs on a daily basis -- definitely a lot more than I imagined. Couldn't recommend Roxie more! The best trainer I've worked with. :)
