“As a 48 year old woman weight training with Gina has made a huge difference in my life! Working out at Beyond FITness helped transform my body and my spirit. I’ve lost weight, gained confidence and become stronger physically and mentally. Even though I had never lifted weights before, she taught me the proper way to exercise safely and encouraged me to try things I never thought I could – like entering a bench press competition or doing pull ups. Gina isn’t a drill sergeant-style trainer. Her approach is encouraging and positive. No matter your goal, completing your first triathlon, improving balance to avoid falls or losing 20 pounds – Gina is an amazing partner who will help you achieve it.”

“With great patience and small steps, Gina makes miracles. I first came to her when I wanted to build strength ahead of hip replacement surgery. Now, three years later, I am taking horseback riding lessons! Beyond the weights and the leg lifts, the MAT (muscle activation technique) that she practices has engaged muscles I haven’t used in years. Amazing!”

"When the Covid pandemic lockdown was declared, I was forced to start teaching on Zoom from my home computer. Besides the hours I spent teaching from my desk chair, I had to spend many additional hours meeting virtually with students and faculty, grading online, answering email, etc. It seems that I did little else but sit at my computer all day. Within a month or two, I was experiencing pain whenever I sat down, no matter how comfortable the chair. I consulted a chiropractor, who did an adjustment and some massage, but that didn't help. I bought various gel cushions online, but they didn't help. I was convinced that I had permanently injured my coccyx and would never be able to sit comfortably again.
When I mentioned my problem to Gina, she assured me that my coccyx was not injured but that I had developed a muscle imbalance in my glutes. She did a few in-person MAT sessions with me followed by bi-weekly Zoom sessions for maintenance. Amazingly, the sitting pain disappeared after the MAT sessions, and the Zoom maintenance exercises, targeted at the glutes, have kept the pain from coming back.
I was so impressed with how quickly Gina identified the problem and used the gentle, non-invasive MAT techniques to reactivate my glute muscles. The MAT sessions and Zoom maintenance exercises have totally alleviated the sitting pain and kept it away!"
