LIFE COACHING:
ALYSSA A.
“Before my first life coaching session with Tina, I was nervous- I didn't know what to expect. Minutes into it, I was at complete ease. Tina is an excellent listener and has a way in which she asks questions to guide the conversation to make you feel completely comfortable. Because of that, I was able to open up and explore situations and emotions that I wouldn't have been able to otherwise. The sessions allowed me to better understand myself, why I do what I do and how to be purposeful in my actions- especially when working towards my goals and what I want out of my life! I couldn't recommend her coaching more- for any person in any stage of life. Tina is the best!”

I worked with Tina for over a year now with life coaching sessions. Working with Tina helped me identify and work through road blocks in just about all aspects of my life. Tina helped me improve my confidence and communication skills in my personal and professional life. My communication relationship with my partner improved, and Tina helped me work towards a promotion at work- which I got! My self talk got a big overhaul, and my internal monologue of conversation has taken a complete 180. I have learned so much about myself along this journey, and Tina helped me find a new perspective on life. I am so glad to be working with Tina.

“Working with Tina has been incredibly beneficial to my personal growth. I've generally considered myself a fairly resilient and "mentally tough" individual but there are certain weaknesses that have come and gone with varying intensities throughout most of my adult life. Tina encouraged me to take a step back and enabled me to start looking at these weaknesses in a different way as well as how to "train" my brain to think differently. I never knew if having a coach was "for me" but now I know that having another perspective on situations is crucial to bettering my mental health. Tina is prompt and very professional in her sessions. She has an understanding of people, listens well, and chooses the important topics to delve into further (sometimes things I didn't even realize were important!). Even if someone thinks they don't need a life coach, I strongly recommend trying a session with Tina.”

“I have been a client of Tina Martin’s since late August 2018. Two months doesn’t sound like a long time however I can honestly say I’ve already seen shifts in how I see myself, my thought patterns, and my confidence level!! Tina is guiding me in the process of allowing myself to take on new perspectives and helping me realize my potential power.
Given my background, I make many life situations extremely mental whether that’s working out, school, my career goals, etc. I have so much determination to succeed in certain areas of my life, but just don’t know how to start the process. That’s where Tina takes the time to genuinely get to know me as a person, what is most important to me, and what I hope to achieve in my life.
After our first session, I knew I made the right decision by reaching out to her when I did. I admire her relaxed, flexible style of coaching, yet very professional demeanor at the same time. If you are looking to hire a coach/mentor/advisor/friend and genuine soul who is passionate about your goals and helping you create a life you love... I would not hesitate for a second to reach out to Tina!”
FITNESS COACHING:

“I've been working with Tina for personal training for over a year and a half and have gained so much strength in that time. I originally came to work on some hip strength and was skeptical as "the gym" was not something I've traditionally enjoyed. Tina's warm and encouraging approach makes everything we do accessible and comfortable while progressing just the right amount for me. She is kind, fun and easy to talk to which makes every session we do so enjoyable! As a mom of two young children, working with Tina has given me so much more than physical strength-it's been confidence, strength in spirit and mind, empowerment to keep up, carry and play with my children. Tina is an incredible trainer and person, and I highly recommend her!”

“After having continuous struggles with my workouts for almost 6 months due to lower back pain, Tina’s offer to complete the complimentary movement assessment couldn’t have come at a better time. She could tell I had tried everything from PT to chiropractic and nothing was helping. Not only was I having to almost completely avoid working out but this was also affecting my life at home in terms of simple, everyday tasks like bending over to pick something up or carrying in heavy groceries. Upon completing an initial assessment with Tina, she was able to identify problem areas and had a set plan to help me enjoy working out and overall feel better again. She was able to customize workouts to pinpoint my exact ailments. Three months later and her instruction and programming have been a savior to my physical well-being along with mental health. I am essentially pain-free while following her lead and getting closer to being able to do things in a workout I was before and more! It’s given me so much hope and excitement and I can say I’m truly feeling the best I’ve felt in almost a year thanks to her continual guidance and encouragement!!!”

"I was struggling with persistent hip and shoulder pain due to earlier injuries that never seemed to get better. I was certain I was going to end up hurting myself at the gym because I wasn’t confident making adjustments to prescribed movements. I contacted Tina in hopes that she might have some suggestions, not realizing how big of an impact she would actually have. Tina assessed what was going on with my mobility and flexibility and the contributing factors that could impede my movement and my pain is now gone. I did a mix of private one-on-one sessions while still partaking in group classes. She developed exercises and stretches to help me get stronger and challenge myself without getting hurt. Not only that, she taught me how to modify movements and to stop worrying that I wasn’t doing what was prescribed, but what was best for me. She always made time to check in to see how I was feeling on the days I didn’t see her and had immense patience with my lack of coordination! The confidence that I’ve gained from working with Tina extends beyond just physical health. She’s the best!"
LIFE COACHING + FITNESS COMBO:

“I have been fitness coached by Tina since late 2014 and life coached since February 2018. She has been tremendously helpful to me as I try to navigate my retirement and reinvestment in my physical conditioning. When I started working with Tina I needed to make some goals for myself and she was awesome in helping me set what I wanted to work on. At 71 years old, first and foremost I wanted to be strong. She helped me start a fitness program which has led me to regain some weight bearing ability. I wanted to lose some weight. I now weigh 5 pounds less than before. It is really slow going on this count but she helps me maintain patience. I wanted to start some creative projects and she has kept me accountable with those projects as well. I wanted to meditate 5 days a week. I got myself a calendar and recorded my progress. It is now a daily event of just 5 minutes but it happens. I wanted to have a fitness routine. On my calendar I do two days of 3 mile runs and two days of strength training. I can see some muscles now that I didn’t have before. I completely enjoy working with Tina. She is a woman who is wise beyond her years and puts a new spin on things that help me to move forward. She helps me to feel that I am not over the hill yet, more like “On top of the hill".
