Phyllis lives in Grass Valley, but is in the Bay Area often. I think the flexibility of working 'together remotely' has been a key to my progress and to sticking with the program. We meet weekly by phone for in-depth conversations about the previous week's training and the upcoming week's plan; use trainingpeaks.com to monitor/ manage training (she enters plan, I upload data, she reviews it); and she comes to the Bay Area regularly allowing us to work 1:1 on skills and techniques. I also call or email her when I have questions. She's incredibly accessible, supportive, knowledgeable, works around my schedule and knows just how hard to push me. In our high tech, busy world, this has worked perfectly, helping me get in at least 10 hours of bike, strength, and cross-training per week.

Phyllis has exceeded my expectations as a coach. Her positive energy and support, combined with a thoughtful variety of workouts and helpful advice, have helped me realize significant performance improvements in a relatively short time.

Phyllis has set up a training program that fits my lifestyle. There have been times when my training has been constrained due to work and family issues and Phyllis adjusted the program to meet my needs. She has a deep grasp of the science and psychology of fitness. She knows when to push and when to back off. I'm more fit than ever, and I'm training in a much more targeted fashion.

Phyllis is a dedicated Spinning instructor. She always arrives on time and makes sure all the new students are set up. The music is rockin' and the classes are fun. She takes the extra time to work with all students.

Phyllis is fun, smart, and productive. I got toned, added strength and aerobic capacity, and looked the best I had in years!

Phyllis' energy, humor, and positive outlook makes working out seem less like "work" and more like "lifestyle enhancement." Her enthusiasm for fitness is inspiring, and it has helped me to stay motivated in my quest to lose weight and get back into shape. Phyllis helped me realize that regular exercise and healthy eating patterns are vital components to any successful weight loss or fitness program. Her commitment to good health and fitness is contagious – I have no desire to return to a less active and unhealthy lifestyle again! Thank you, Phyllis!

Phyllis is very professional, knowledgeable, inspiring and fun! She has helped me signifcantly increase my core muscle strength and balance. She has also kept me motivated to maintain the best health and fitness that I can and it is a pleasure working with her.

When Phyllis and I started working together, I was tired all the time, significantly heavier, and found lots of reasons not to work out – with two kids and as a corporate executive, time to take care of me has been tough! Phyllis really has helped me change my life and set me on a path forward of taking care of me, and never looking back! It’s much more than personal training – not just about my old perceptions of strength and weight loss – it’s also about increasing flexibility, a new way of thinking, being driven from the inside out. Phyllis doesn’t accept excuses and really role models fitness, well-being, and balance in her own life. With that as a model, I don’t have any more excuses left! My progress has been noticeable – by my family, my colleagues, my friends and, most importantly, by me – I feel great! I have a lot more work to do, but I am enjoying it, have learned so many new ideas of how to embed a fit attitude and approach in my way of life. Phyllis, thank you!
