What do clients say about Sharon?
Before and After
Sharon encourages me to try new things that I may have previously thought that I couldn’t do. She brings positive reinforcement to working out which I like. I have not tried other nutrition plans in the past. I did have a gym membership in the past, but there was never anyone there to motivate or encourage me to keep pushing myself. My experience with Sharon has been great. Joining her Boot Camp & MET classes was one of the smartest decisions I have made recently. I am proud of myself & my accomplishments & I can not wait to see what the future holds. - Julie S.

Before and After
Sharon is a great overall motivator. She is knowledgeable about fitness and is willing to pass that knowledge on to others. The MET Class workouts are always different, which makes them fun and challenging since you never know what you are going to walk into. This is the first plan I have tried where I attend classes on a regular basis and have a Meal Plan. Although I was skeptical at first, this Meal Plan has been so easy to follow, and that is coming from a person who does not like to cook.
Sharon's programs are right for you if you want someone to motivate and improve your lifestyle, energy, and strength levels. Start your Fitness plan today. All you have to do is take that first step which is the hardest. Talk to Sharon as she will listen and find the best fitness plan for you. - Tamara R.

Boot Camp is the one exercise regimen that I have been able to begin since having two children. I enjoy having two hours a week to improve myself after having been dissatisfied with my fitness for a few years. And it's working!
- Meredith 
Thank you Sharon, for pushing me in BOOT Camp! Your classes have improved my physical fitness, strength and 5K time. I was able to shave 2 minutes off my 5K running time. I have been trying to push myself for a faster time for over a year now. Boot camp classes twice a week has made that happen in 10 weeks. Kristie 
Before I started Boot Camp I felt I was losing all the strength benefits I had worked hard for and I could not replicate on my own. I needed someone who could get more out of me than I could get out of myself. Now I feel more energetic, more focused and driven to go further. I think my body is happy to be challenged to new activity and regimen. I would recommend Boot Camp to others because it is a great way to challenge oneself. It strengthens the core in a variety of ways. - Linda C.
I really needed to get back into shape. I didn't like the way my body was beginning to look and feel. I'm not getting any younger so Boot Camp sounded like the perfect solution. I feel better about myself now that I'm doing something for myself. Boot Camp is my time for me, ...(and I am) getting stronger! Sharon is a great motivator and trainer. She makes you feel good about yourself and is genuinely a very nice person. The sessions are always fun, never the same routine. I look forward to going to Boot Camp each week. - Laura 
It is obvious that I enjoy boot camp as I am about to start my 6th session....I look forward to the work out each week because I feel great afterwards and I can tell for a couple of days after that I worked out from head to toe. It is also a great stress reliever and a great way to clear your mind. I really enjoy that you'll give nutrition tips because that is definitely not an area I am strong in. However, as an ex college athlete this is the first work out I have found that really challenges me to push my limits and I always seem to amaze myself when I try something new. Overall, it is my favorite work out and I would really be upset (I might cry) if it was not offered any longer.
THANKS SHARON!!! -Tracey C 
I asked for a Meal Plan created specifically for me because I have tried many diet plans that just haven't worked. I thought it would be easier for me to have a set meal plan each day on what I should be eating, and not what I think I should be eating. This plan has helped me understand portion size. Before starting the Meal Plan, I always felt guilty for what I had eaten. I enjoyed eating it at the time but afterwards made me feel guilty. Portion size meant nothing to me. This Meal Plan has shown me that food that is good for you can also taste good. This Meal Plan has helped me tremendously. I am in a routine now and I make everything ahead of time so it is ready the next day. No excuses. I feel good. I am learning that I don't need all that junk food to make me happy. I'm not as tired as I used to be. I feel a difference in my clothes and I don't have to take my heartburn medicine every day. I would recommend a Meal Plan to others because IT WORKS!!! - Elsa B. 
I've lost 30+ lbs since January. I like the total body metabolic workouts. I feel as if my entire body was targeted and I experience a longer calorie burn. I like that you do not get distracted by conversation and push me (during personal training one-on-one-sessions). I feel stronger and in better shape. - Mike W. 
I truly enjoy Boot Camp and it reminds me how great it feels to exercise again....Thanks for all your support and the class, which I really love and its actually fun. - Erin C.
For the first week, I felt the Meal Plan was easy to follow and filling. I am on the 10th day of the Meal Plan and have noticed that a couple of pairs of pants seem to fit a little better. I feel more positive about myself. The Meal Plan helps me make smart choices. Planning/prepping meals the night before to take to work have been easier than I expected. - Julie S. 
I feel a lot better about myself since I am toning my body. People always comment now that I'm looking better. Had to go buy smaller pants, haven't done that in awhile so I'm excited.
- Jen 
I would like to thank you for your training and nutrition program. I thought I was in good shape but always knew I had been in much better condition some time ago. Being 47, I knew I needed to work harder to get back to not only where I was feeling good but better than I was before. I have seen guys my age and older that look and do things I did 30 years ago. Now it has only been 3 weeks but the greatest difference is in my diet. Your slogan "Abs are 70% Diet, 30% Gym" is no joke. I have more energy now that I am eating clean. The Meal Plan you designed for me has helped keep me going throughout my workouts and at play. I used to mountain bike two courses - a beginner course, then rest for 10 - 15 minutes while trying to catch my breath. Then I would start the advanced course and feel like I was going to die. In only 3 weeks of following your exercise and nutrition program, I was able to complete both the beginner and advanced courses without a break, and felt good afterwards. I could have gone another round but was limited on time. I am able for the first time to perform push ups while balancing on 4 medicine balls. And while I still have a week to go before I step on the scale, I feel stronger. I try and tell myself that same quote you have over your studio door, "It never gets easier, you only get better" and that is the truth. Thanks again for your knowledge. - Kevin
I would like to also say thank you for the encouraging words again last night [during Metabolic Explosion Training]. I was thinking exactly what you said - about 6 weeks ago or even 12 weeks ago, and how much of (tonight's) workout I could have completed. Kept up the great work and variety of workout as it makes it fun and enjoyable to workout!!!....Tonight at volleyball I did 2 things that I have not even tried for years. First one was blocking and I actually did get a block! I have not blocked (or even attempted to block) anyone in so long that I forgot what it feels like!!! AWESOME!!! Second was actually jumping and spiking the ball down with authority. I have been just standing and hitting the volleyball. My timing and legs just never seemed to have the energy or strength to jump. My team was as surprised as I was! - Tamara 
I have been taking boot camp for about a year and a half and about 6 months ago I decided to add a Saturday morning MET class. It was the best decision I have made. It was the perfect balance to round out my week for working out. I do occasionally workout another days of the week, but never anything contestant. This was a great add to make sure I was getting a great workout every week. MET class is the exact step and addition to boot camp that I needed. The addition of the weights and the "toys" pushes me in another way each week. Every class I walk away feeling like I got a great total body work out. The environment Sharon creates is one where everyone feels like they can succeed!
Sharon also provides a personal touch and I would never get with any other trainer I have met or worked out with. She really gets to know her clients and will go the extra mile for them. I found out I was pregnant in January with my first child. So everything is new to me. There is no one else I would rather work out with at this time. She is watching out for me and doing research to make sure I stay safe while working out. So far workouts have been going great and I hope to be able to continue them throughout the rest of my pregnancy. - Tracey
This is just a little note to say thanks for helping me get started on my journey to get to where I am today. I've been thinking about all the hard work I put in (especially today on my birthday 6.65 mile run - WOW! Such a feat for me!) and realized you got me hooked on this stuff! It feels so good to exercise now and to beat all my goals. I weigh less now than when I did in high school - by 20 lbs.! I can run long distances, I can do so much more. So now that I'm done bragging :) Thanks again for helping me meet my goals!
- Brittany 
Clothes are continuing to get bigger, which makes me happy. - Katie. To put this in perspective, in 12 weeks of online coaching, she has lost 15 lbs, 3.5" from her waist, 3" from her hips, 2" from her chest, 1" from her neck, more than 1/2" from each bicep, more than 1" from each thigh, and 1/2" from each calf.
Thanks Sharon! I'll take your class FOREVER! - Jennifer K. 
Sharon is very thorough. She gets to know her client, and with this information designs a workout that not only complements the client, but provides the proper level of activity for strength and fitness. She is very supportive and caring. - Leslie, Cincinnati, Ohio
Before starting Boot Camp, I felt "stuck" in my routine, tired and sluggish. I needed a boost/change. Since taking Boot Camp, I feel strong! I have more energy, and think my body is starting to tone and is becoming stronger. Boot Camp has made me feel great and I look forward to class each week. I love the positive encouragement without intimidation. - Tara W.
In 5 1/2 months of online coaching, Andy lost 35 lbs. and a total of 19". 
I would recommend your Meal Plan to others because of the variety in options (of food) and it is easy to follow and to plan. - Emily L. 
As a chronic scoliosis patient who saw a chiropractor at least 3x a month, I have not had to schedule an appointment since I started boot camp. - Judi R.
I think you are an EXCELLENT trainer and am lucky to have found you. - Michele
I enjoy MET class because the class is small enough that I feel like I am getting personal training yet having others in the class helps me push myself. - Kim 
Your Fitness and Nutrition Myths De-bunked class helped me understand how certain foods can help your body and others not. - Eileen P.
Before starting your Meal Plan, I felt bloated and had no energy, now I feel so much better. (It is) easy to follow and filling. I don't feel bloated. My clothes are already feeling more loose....and it's only been 9 days! I would recommend your Meal Plan to others because it works!! - Andrea T.
Boot Camp was one of the best decisions I have made to improve myself. Your class has helped me tremendously to give me that boost that I needed. I feel stronger and healthier. When I look in the mirror I can say "Not Bad!" instead of "Ugh!!" Thank you for offering such a great class!
- Eileen 
Your fantastic boot camp was definitely the shock my body needed to get over that horrible six month plateau. Thank you Sharon - you are a great trainer and I can't wait to get into small group (class) with you!!!! - Sherri
I love Boot Camp and feel wonderful at the end of class. - Dawn
My 28 day challenge [Memorial Day Weight Loss 28 Day Challenge] has ended today...who would have thought this really worked.....down 9 lbs and some inches here and there. Pat on the back for me, cause I stuck with it! Thanks Sharon for the boost!
- Judi 
I have to tell you that I put on a pair of jeans last week that I haven't worn in five years which was an awesome surprise. I immediately signed up (for the next session)....Thanks for giving me the variety that I was looking for. - Julie
I definitely would recommend Sharon's Metabolic Explosion Training class. I love the small group setting as opposed to a big gym. It's a really great workout and she makes it fun! I feel like I'm getting stronger every day!! - Andrea 
Sharon's boot camp is the perfect balance of a laid back atmosphere with a high intensity workout. She pushed me to do things that I never before dreamed possible, by instilling in me the confidence that I could do it and also supporting me if I happened to fail with her "you will get there soon" attitude!
- Angela 
I would recommend Metabolic Explosion Training class because it pushes you to the next level. I have done workouts in this class that I would have never tried or thought I would be able to complete. When Sharon tells you that you can do it, she's right...you can! - Erin
Your Fitness & Nutrition Myths De-bunked class helped me make better food choices and gave information about protein shakes.
- Dawn K 
I actually lost a couple pounds between Christmas and New Year's instead of gaining 5 - 10 and starting the new year even further away from "healthy" as I have in years past. I've recommended (your program) to a couple friends and wouldn't hesitate to do so in the future. Thank you!
- Mindi, Cleveland 
(Boot Camp) is a great way for me to relief stress and I can challenge myself on different levels. I am able to push past my comfort zone because others around me are doing it. It is a great motivation for me. I hope I can keep up this lifestyle I'm trying to make for myself and I appreciate the part that you have played in helping me get there! - Brittany
I would recommend Metabolic Explosion Training class because it is an awesome workout and there is always something new! It is a class that is never boring! - Tamara
You do a great job of explaining the exercises and pushing me to go further than I think I can. The exercises are not monotonous and predictable. I have seen great improvements in my strength and flexibility. I couldn't do a wall sit for 20 seconds when I started, now I can do it for a minute....I have more energy, and am more confident. Your Nutrition class helped me to understand easy ways to eat healthy.
- Erin P. 
Sharon kept the exercises varied and different. She modified the work-outs for those of us who needed a bit more and I woke up everyday after the boot camp feeling the wonderful pain of sore muscles! Sharon has a great attitude and truly wants to make a difference in the physical fitness of others and that in itself makes an impact. - Mary Beth
Your nutrition class helped me to learn what are good things to eat in the morning to get my body going for the day. It also helped me understand how certain foods can help your body and others do not. - Eileen P.
I liked the (boot camp) class a lot. I noticed a difference in my strength the last few weeks!! - Kristy 
I have only good things to say about my experience with you as I trained for and completed the half (marathon). The workouts were very challenging and got me prepared. (She) kept up with my progress diligently and made sure I was taking care after workouts as well. I especially liked how (she) kept me accountable via Facebook with humor and toughness. - Jenny, Chicago
I enjoy the Saturday morning Metabolic Explosion Training class because I feel good & accomplished after the session has ended which keeps me physically motivated for the rest of the day. - Julie
I have to say that my clothes are fitting much more comfortably, and my resentment toward my dryer has almost disappeared. We're at least on speaking terms again. It has been a fabulous month. Thanks so much for your help! ... Overall, I feel better and have been encouraged to rely less on my pantry and eat more cleanly. ... This has been a great jump start for me. Thank you so much for putting together a program that is easy to follow and gets results.
- Jami, after finishing the Memorial Day Weight Loss 28 Day Challenge 
While the notion of "boot camp" sounds intimidating that is far from the reality. I have enrolled in multiple sessions of Sharon's boot camp class. It is a full body workout. There is always something new to learn. Sharon provides alternatives to exercises for individuals who want more or less of a challenge. It is always great fun, a great workout and provides a great sense of accomplishment after every class. Yes, it's GREAT! Everybody is supportive of one another, including Sharon. She is a great instructor, knows her stuff and consistently brings something new to the table making it fun and interesting. She has a lot of knowledge and is always willing to share her advice or opinions on questions or concerns expressed by class participants. The biggest plus is that Sharon is supportive of our wants, needs and challenges and does everything she can to accommodate. She has no "expectations" of anyone other than working with you and moving you forward to the next level of strength and endurance.
- Miriam 
I love your (boot camp) class and I think it is really good. - LD
Thank you so much! I loved/hate your ebook, (Top Foods to Avoid), it was so insightful for me. I really thought that the juices I chose were healthy, now I will label read like NEVER before.- Alisa 
I love C4F Boot Camp because it is an effective, safe workout that is held in a casual environment and the exercises are easily modified for everybody’s level of fitness. I have been involved in physical fitness both personally and professionally for 30 years so I feel confident when telling people that Sharon is an excellent trainer. She is extremely knowledgeable in fitness and nutrition, but I think just as importantly, she truly cares about her clients and getting them in to shape and better health!
- Rolanda 
I learned a lot of new exercises in Boot Camp that were fun but challenging. I am stronger and more flexible than before. I really liked being outside and the games we played ... This made the class go by fast and more exciting. - Kelly
I would recommend boot camp to others because Sharon is encouraging and when I go there to work out, I don't feel like I am being judged. I feel like I am pushed to do my best, but I don't have to worry about what anyone else is doing. I have built up my endurance and my strength so much due to this class. I feel so much better about myself and my body. Although I haven't quite met my goals yet, I know that I am healthier and stronger than I have been in a long time. The other girls in the class are also encouraging and we have fun. It is always great to see progression in the other women and for them to notice how far I have come as well. Thanks! Looking forward to working with you again this session!
- Maria B. 
For the past two weeks (since starting 5 Day Meal Plans) I am working out (taking Metabolic Explosion Training classes) and eating right. I'm finally sleeping and have energy to get up every morning....Not sure that words are enough but Thank You for starting up your own business and taking a chance on something that you love to help. Your love for nutrition and exercise motivate others to do the same. Plus your understanding that not everyone is on the same fitness level is amazing too. - Tamara
In 10 weeks, Dennis, an online client, "lost 29 lbs, lost 5" from his waist, 3" from his hips, and almost 2" from his chest." His wife lost 15.5 lbs., and 2" from her waist, 1.5" from her hips, and 1" from her neck."
A personal trainer should understand a clients' limitations and age (senior) while setting up a program that is most beneficial, and not a "one size fits all". He/she should be supportive, understanding yet firm enough to make you want to push yourself to work towards your goal while understanding that each client must work at their own pace....Sharon is this type of personal trainer. - RKG, Cincinnati, Ohio
(Boot camp classes) were a great motivator- the last thing I felt like doing after work was working out, the classes were great at getting me to do so, when otherwise, I probably wouldn't have. Plus, you made them fun! - Kelly
I enjoyed boot camp because "it was exactly what I was looking for as far as a workout. It keeps me motivated to have a class that I can attend with other people every week and I liked the exercises we did. I have never been a fan of running and this is the exactly what I was looking for. It keeps moving and that is exactly what I was looking for. ... After just a few classes I could tell by different exercises I was already getting stronger....it was absolutely perfect and I loved it. Sharon is so great at making sure everyone is doing things at their level. She continues to challenge everyone! I love boot camp!!! "
- Nicole 
Boot Camp held me accountable to work out and mixes up the routine of going to the gym. I always leave feeling like I got a good work out! - Carie C.
I enjoyed Boot Camp class tremendously. It almost becomes addicting. Not a bad addiction to have! Thank you!! - Holly
Before I started Boot Camp I felt fat and lazy. Now I feel stronger and thin. - Melissa Y. 
After one month of online fitness and nutrition, I "lost 5 lbs., 1" in my chest, 1/2" in my hips, 1" in my waist, and 1" in my neck." - Margo
Boot camp is the "Best exercise program I have ever done!!....There are all different levels of fitness in my group from - what I would call "fit" women to someone like me who hasn't exercised in like 15 years."
- Jennifer 
Sharon has been fantastic. She's been encouraging and motivational. I have done fairly well with the food tracking and find it to be a great tool. Sharon has given me great feedback on the data I've entered. I do feel the membership, accountability, and regular contact from Sharon kept me in check. - Mindi
In his first 14 days, Dave, an online client, "lost 5 lbs. and 1" from my neck," and in 8 weeks, "lost 18 lbs., 1" from my neck, 2" from my hips, and 2" from my chest."
I've really enjoyed boot camp....I can tell a difference just from 1 workout a week and I can't wait to get to do both days a week. I'm normally intimidated by trainers but you've made me feel really comfortable and pushed me to do better! It's been great!
- Stephanie 
I'm following the exercises and nutrition pretty closely. I'm (already) feeling a little firmer in areas, starting to see more definition. - Shane
Having had major surgery in the past, it was important for me to find a personal trainer that would be able to set up a program that takes into consideration my physical limitations. Sharon has been able to do this for me. - John, Cincinnati, Ohio
I recommend boot camp because of the "great variety in work outs and I actually enjoyed it!" - Shannon
Sharon always has such great ideas for workouts and keeps us motivated! It is truly so enjoyable and I always love coming to class. This class is my favorite workout class by far that I have ever done! - Nicole
