What Our Clients Say

Real results from real people — of all ages, sizes, and fitness levels.

"I started training with Russ back in April of 2012, shortly after becoming interested in converting over to a low carbohydrate, non-Gluten and wheat-free diet. My goal was to lose 50 pounds and to gain back lost strength and flexibility at the same time. I wasn't interested in severe levels of training, but rather I wanted to be able to fully participate in life without suffering unnecessary pain and injury. Russ recognized my goals, and over the last two-plus years has guided me to the point where at nearly 69 years old, I am probably stronger and healthier than I have ever been in my life.

Russ realizes that not everyone is a fanatic, but he also knows that without constant encouragement, back-sliding is commonly the result. He is aware of my limitations, but at the same time he knows my body very well and has a knack for pushing me just a little bit beyond what I would choose to do on my own. Thus he is able to shape my twice-weekly workouts in a way that eliminates boredom and keeps me coming back for more. To my way of thinking, this is what makes a great trainer. Without his help, I know that I simply wouldn't be anywhere near as far along the road to good health and active living as I am today."
— Lonnie
"Russ has been everything I hoped for in a trainer. He motivates me, challenges me, and holds me accountable to my goals. Over the course of the last three years, Russ has pushed me beyond the limits of what I — and at times, he — believed was possible. His knowledge coupled with an unsurpassed enthusiasm for making me better are evident during every workout. And I have never felt like just another 'client,' as Russ has always treated me like family. For anyone hoping to feel better, look better, and be better, I wholeheartedly recommend Russ as the person to help you get there."
— Scot L.
"Working out with Maddie has made a huge impact on me. I always ran before and thought that would give me the results I wanted. I also thought lifting weights would make me bulk up instead of slim down. I've been training with Maddie for over a year now and I couldn't be happier with the results. She's pushed me to do things I didn't think I was capable of doing. She's very motivating and AWESOME at what she does! She's helped me with my nutrition and I've improved my endurance and running times while lifting weights with her. She keeps me focused and driven to help me reach my goals. I have muscle and definition I didn't know existed before. I would recommend Maddie and Body Dimensions to anyone and everyone looking to reach their fitness goals."
— Brooke Wilson
"I started training with Madison 2 months ago after taking a year off from any type of exercise. I'm amazed with the results already! She is encouraging and mindful of correct form which is most important. I look at her a lot and say 'Have you lost your mind?' She laughs and makes me keep pushin'. I can't wait to see the results to come."
— Libby James
"I never really liked working out as it was extremely difficult to get motivated. The big gyms aren't for me since I really didn't know what to do when I got there. I thought I would try a personal trainer. I signed up with Madison Henline at Body Dimensions and I couldn't be happier. I have a very different attitude toward exercising. Now I look forward to my workouts. The trainers are very professional. The workout is different every time, so I never get bored and I am just as motivated to push myself as Madison is to encourage me that I can do this."
— Alisa Holma
"I started using Madison Henline as my trainer about 3 months ago. I have so much more energy and strength now than I did when I started. My clothes fit better and I weigh less. She really knows what she's talking about when it comes to nutrition and fitness. I could probably do this on my own now, but I like the way she pushes me to do better and also makes it fun."
— Jane Keever
"If anyone would have told me 2 months ago that I would be working out with a trainer I would have said no way! But I have been working out at Body Dimensions since January 16, 2008 and the results are wonderful. I am diabetic, have high blood pressure, asthma, high cholesterol and need to lose over 100 lbs. In a little over a month, I have lost 23 pounds, 14½ inches and 5% body fat. My blood sugars have dropped 20–30 points since I started working out so I am confident I will be able to discontinue my medications in the near future.

My trainer encourages me and really makes exercising fun. She helped me understand the importance of properly feeding my body — that good nutrition is very important, as well as timing my meals and eating enough protein. Body Dimensions has me on the right track. An exercise program and a healthy eating plan go hand in hand and are the answer to being healthy and fit."
— Faith K. Welch
"I first met Pam in February of 2001. I had been out of cancer treatments for 2½ years and put on 25 or more pounds. Within 5 months, Pam had whipped me into shape and toned me better than I was in college. I achieved my goal and gained a friend while doing so.

Body Dimensions has a personal touch. Whether Pam likes it or not, she has become a part of my lifestyle and is stuck with me. I need her pushing me and keeping me on track. I am 52½ years young and it is such a great feeling when I am able to do things just as well today as I did in my 30s."
— Laura
"It feels good. It feels good to push your body beyond what you would do by yourself. It feels good to work out with other like-minded people. It feels good to get new clothes or wear old clothes you thought you would never wear again. It feels good to be sore the next day. It feels good to look back over time and see how much you have accomplished. It feels good to your body, mind, and spirit."
— Reggie Sigmon
"Is it the weight training, the cardio, the results we achieve, the goals we set for ourselves, the stress relief, the conversation, the meeting of new people, the confidence someone else has in you to do your best and even better than your best? The answer is yes — and I look forward to a new year and am thankful for the team here at Body Dimensions."
— Robbin Osborne
"I stopped by Body Dimensions two and a half years ago just looking for someone to spend a few sessions with me to help rekindle my waning motivation. As a 20-year veteran aerobics queen and an avid reader of Fitness and Shape, I considered myself to be in fairly good shape and thought I knew most everything there was to know about fitness and nutrition. After spending a little time with my trainer, I realized I had a lot to learn and that my fitness level was not quite what I thought it was! Now, 2½ years later, I continue to learn and stay challenged. At 51 years old, I am in the best shape of my life and hope to become even better."
— Charlotte Barbagallo
"I have been in the fitness industry for over 21 years and I have worked with and trained thousands of people. I have to say that some of the best work I have seen comes from the trainers at Body Dimensions. I have seen the dedication and discipline they put into their workouts and training their clients — they go above and beyond your typical trainer. They have a heart that was made for what they do."
— Raymond Moses, Director of About Face Boot Camp
