I told Kimberly when I first started working out with her, “fitness is not my life, and I never want it to be”. I’ve always believed fitness is a tool I should be using to help me live the life I wanted to live – a life that didn’t have me living in the gym and obsessing over what food I ate (sounds awesome, right?!). Unfortunately, I could never get this balance correct. I was never able to see the results I wanted unless I obsessed over my fitness and nutrition (driving myself emotionally crazy). That is, until I met Kimberly. 

I’ve been through my fair share of personal trainers and group fitness courses over the last 7 years, and there are two major reasons why I’ve had so much success with Kimberly uniquely. 1) She designs efficient workouts that yield strength and aesthetic results quickly. 2) She makes living a healthy lifestyle outside of the gym attainable and easy. Kimberly’s an expert on exercise efficiency and life balance.

Her knowledge of the human body as it relates to fitness allows her to customize exercises to build the exact body I want, while not making me spend hours in a gym every week. Her efficiency is key – one hour with her feels like 20 minutes, which makes sticking to a fitness routine so much easier since I see results without making fitness the main focus in my daily life. And I love that she “gets” that with me.

She’s also just a funny and enjoyable person to be around, so it’s like working out with a friend. A friend who’s watching my form constantly, motivating me, pushing me, and always assuring I avoid injury and overexertion. She’s been my trainer for twice-weekly sessions for most of 2018, and I’ve never dreaded going to one – and I’m in her 6am slot!!

Helping me to make healthy food choices outside of our sessions is her other key strength. She’s taught me how to balance reaching my goals while navigating (and still enjoying) all the happy hours, office holiday parties, special events, and my social life in general. I’ve always known that nutrition is half the battle of any health-related goal, but until Kimberly I’ve never been able to find consistency that lead to real results.

 THANK YOU FOR TRANSFORMING MY LIFE AND MAKING IT FUN!!!

Kimberly is a uniquely gifted instructor, and hiring her has been a life changing investment. She is such a positive, fun and creative trainer; she makes every workout enjoyable and productive. When I first started, I did not enjoy working out. She transformed me into someone who now counts down the days until our sessions! She obviously loves what she does, which makes all the difference. I can tell that she always pushes herself to be greater, and imparts that same hustle and “beyond average” mindset to her clients. Truly, she blows every other trainer, session, group fitness class I’ve taken out of the water, and there is no one I’d rather train me than her!  

Fitness has always been a part of my life playing sports. I had some health issues that caused me to be on steroids and no matter what I did just couldn’t get back into the swing of things. I wanted to get some new workout ideas and be challenged, thanks to Kimberly I’m finally achieving some of my goals. She is an amazing trainer and keeps me focused and encourages throughout our workouts. The workouts we have done have never been the same and constantly I’m challenged. I’m starting to see some results and am excited to see more over the next few months! 

Prior to joining the Think Beyond Average team, I would try to work out on my own but get frustrated easily at my lack of knowing what I was doing and the seemingly nonexistent progress I would make. Then I met Kim in the gym during one of my workouts. We quickly got to chatting while working out and I decided to give Think Beyond Average a chance. Since then, I have seen far greater results in just a few months than I was able to achieve on my own in years.  I have gained muscle mass, dropped in body fat percentage, learned proper form, built cardio stamina, and most of all found a new enjoyment in working out. They gym went from a dreadful place for me to somewhere I now crave to get to each day. If anyone is even slightly considering making the investment in themselves, no matter what their fitness level is, I could not recommend a better supporter, motivator, or coach than Kim. You will have fun, build confidence, achieve results, understand balance in a non-restricting diet, and find an athletic ability within yourself that you never knew you had.

It was hard for me to stay motivated...I needed flexibility due to my travel and that was really hard to find.  I wanted to find a place to go where I was always welcome and my trainer had learned enough about my body and skill that it was easy to dive right back in.

I feel I have gotten stronger and We have a relationship where she knows my strengths and weaknesses and really works hard to put together sessions that are personalized for me. I never feel judged ... I feel we are a team with my success as the common goal.

She is totally In tune with where I am mentally, physically and emotionally and designs workouts that really suit me and my goals.  She inspires me and encourages me to be my best self in a way that makes it feel like a safe space to grow. 

it is nice to feel there is someone in my corner.  Someone who cares about my physical health but doesn’t judge when my crazy life gets in the way. She’s so so great about making it feel like we are in it together.

I have worked with several trainers in NYC when I lived there but when I moved back to Nashville I would work with people (who were good at their craft) but I never felt I totally connected with....I connected with her. She is honest, fun, funny, always open up making sure the session is all about me and my needs while still working to make me stronger and better. It’s frankly awesome and refreshing. 

I feel like no challenge is off limits or out of bounds. If I want to do

Something she will be right there to encourage me, train me and make sure I am my best self!

Kimberly brings her personal authentic self to our training...I never feel I am competing with her or that I disappoint her.  She makes me feel so comfortable which allows me to push myself and take on challenges that I never thought I could take on ... and when you first meet her ... she is so pretty and her strength and amazing body could initially be intimidating but it’s not but the beauty of her inside spirit is so Much more than that. She is truly a wonderful person, strong woman, and amazing trainer.

Kimberly has truly  been an incredible motivation and kick-ass trainer. I started working with Kimberly after a long period of not working out and not feeling like myself. The past few months have been challenging and extremely rewarding. As a trainer, she brings such a positive energy into her workouts and makes you truly feel like you can accomplish anything. Her workouts are always different, and she seems to always be thinking of new and interesting ways to increase the intensity and/or focus of an exercise. I can honestly say that I never walk into a session knowing what to expect - which makes the workout so much more exciting. She has also provided me with nutritional guidance that is much more realistic and mindful than past experiences. Overall, my time training with Kimberly has been amazing. She has helped me to shift my focus to ME again - which is something I have been missing for a while!
