Kathy Adkins, Age 61
Fit Forever Client
*When I turned 60, my birthday gift to myself was a personal trainer. Like many women, I struggled with weight, self image problems, and no time for myself, wherein I could even choose to devote time to exercise. Dawn was my birthday gift, having been highly recommended from a very reliable source, so I took the plunge. So almost two years later my body has truly been transformed. As most fitness sources emphasize, especially for women, weight training is crucial to our health, even more so than cardio, and put the two together and you have a winning ticket. Dawn truly has put the time into her fitness education, continually striving to stay on top of her profession, and she shares this knowledge and talent with enthusiasm and great direction. The hour flies by as she brutally and effectively drives me to new heights with fantastic results. Things I couldn't dream of doing two years ago are now things I do regularly and well, the results being a body I only could have dreamt of 30 years ago. She makes it fun but you never lose sight of your mission to excel and push, push, push. She inspires and encourages and is a fabulous role model for anyone. No matter your fitness level, she will handle you with expertise and care and take you to levels you won't believe.

*He's 70 going on 30! I am so proud of my client, Comer Broughton. He came to me almost a year ago, sedentary, out of shape, stiff, in pain, diabetic and a cancer survivor; his diabetic numbers were dangerously high; his blood sugar in the 200's and his A1C (your average glucose over 3 months) was 11.5, doctors like it at 7. He trained 3 times a week for *10 months and his hard work has paid off. His blood sugar is now 135 and his A1C is 7.4. Not to mention his overall strength and stamina improvement. He holds a plank 8 times longer than when he started! He has his life back and is enjoying his retirement biking, fishing and playing in chess tournaments. What a success story! Way to go Comer!

Dawn has been our personal trainer for several years. She is always upbeat and enthusiastic yet serious about strengthening our bodies with numerous and varying exercises. We are 74 and 75, and she always keeps our ages in mind as she plans our workout routines. Dawn is concerned about our overall health and fitness and truly follows her motto of keeping us "fit forever." We are impressed with her commitment to her field, as seen in her pursuing continuing education courses and staying certified as a trainer and in CPR. Dawn keeps us on track with our goals yet manages to make working out fun and interesting. We have had several trainers over the years, and Dawn is, by far, the best!

*"I have been a client of Dawn's for over 16 years now! She has trained me through many health obstacles, injuries and before, during and after my pregnancy. I love the convenience of being able to work out in my own home where I don't need to worry about child care. Dawn is always flexible with schedules so I never have to miss a workout. Dawn is a wonderful motivator and teacher. She is fun, friendly and caring! She makes every workout fresh and fun by using the newest equipment and techniques. She is always open to changing the location of your workouts too! She loves to train outside whether it is in a pool, a trail, or at a park! With Dawn's experience and knowledge, she knows what exercises you should be doing to continue in any recovery or condition. Dawn is a fantastic trainer and I would never go or use anyone else!! "

"The Coach, the Drill Sergeant, the Motivator, the Counselor and of course, the Personal Trainer! Dawn is a combination of all of these. She has brought us a long way from our beginning days of working out.
*Prior to working out with Dawn, I had tried everything to get in shape. I joined a gym, signed up for yoga and bought the Wii Fit tapes. As a full-time working mother of two teenagers, I just couldn’t get energized to stick with anything and it was difficult fitting exercise into my schedule. Dawn was flexible with her hours. She made time for me after work. And she stayed on top of me to ensure that I made it. Her text message reminders and always offering to reschedule if I couldn’t make a session, left me no excuse, but to show up! Dawn has brought me a long way from almost passing out after my first session to improving my cardio and physical appearance. I can even see some muscles now and most importantly – I feel BETTER
*Dawn’s sessions are never boring! She combines an endless number of exercises and pushes you to your highest ability within limits. The first workout session was tough on us, but Dawn has pushed us to keep going. We look forward to our sessions and our results! We have both experienced injuries and Dawn has been able to work around them to ensure that we don’t do more damage. We love Dawn’s sense of humor, TRX and our workouts in her basement!"

*I really enjoy working out with Dawn. It is very convenient to have her come to my house. She has offered me a variety of workouts using equipment that I already own. Dawn is passionate about fitness and it shows in the energy and excitement she brings to every session. She always is quick to encourage me and offer positive feedback. I would recommend Dawn to everyone.
*Marilyn Natchez, Fit Forever Client
*I have enjoyed Dawn's personal training for over 12 years--every session is penned into my calendar and prioritized because I love to start my day with her workouts. Dawn sincerely cares about her clients and wants them to achieve or exceed their goals. I have lost over 40 pounds and dropped many dress sizes and kept the weight off while toning up. She has the newest equipment and individualizes her workout routines. I've never been bored. Dawn has had remarkable results with her other clients that I've seen throughout the years, men, women, seniors, and people with disabilities. I highly recommend her services--five stars.

*Dawn Williams is a wonderful personal trainer. My husband and I started working with Dawn in June 2010 in preparation for our wedding in August 2011. Dawn helped us get motivated to exercise and pushed us to do more exercises than we ever thought we would be able to do. She got us into the best shape of our lives for our wedding day. We loved working with her. She always brought a smile to our face every time we went to a session. She not only is a great personal trainer, she is a great motivator.
