"I started working with Hao after completing physical therapy for shoulder surgery. I really needed to get back in shape and strengthen my shoulder. She came up with interesting programs that really got me back on track. She was always introducing me new exercises that kept it interesting and challenging… and a little sore most of the time.

She managed to keep it fun while pushing me to get to my goals. The best part was that I didn’t just exercise with her, I learned a lot about how to exercise and that I could reach a little further and push myself harder. My exercise routines are so much more efficient and effective now!"

"Hao is the absolute best trainer, and I've worked with several. Hao gets to know each client's individual goals, needs and workout history. Then she makes each session unique. Even when she's kicking your butt you're having fun."

"After having my son, I was shocked that I still looked like I was five months pregnant. I am so glad I called on Hao to help me get back in shape. 

As a new mom, it was important to have someone who could come to my house and show me quick workouts that I could incorporate around my son's schedule. Hao was able to accommodate this. She came to my house, weights in tow, and guided me through exercises that would work my "problem areas." After about a month of doing these exercises, I was feeling stronger and leaner and was able to lift the 20 lb. stroller I was unable to handle before.  

Hao also stressed the importance of maintaining a healthy diet as a key factor in losing weight. She had me keep a food journal to keep track of what I ate and drank throughout the day. This has made me mindful about the food decisions I make.

Her motivation and on-going support has helped me shed my pregnancy weight. Hao is a great listener and has your best interests at heart. I would recommend her services to anyone!"

"When I first began with Hao I had a set of expectations and goals that I thought I could meet within a year. After working with her on a weekly basis for a month, I realized that I would meet my goals within a shorter time period due to her drive and motivation. She continually changes up the workout and keeps me interested in meeting new goals and getting stronger. Hao has inspired me to change my lifestyle and incorporate a healthier and well-balanced attitude in everything I do."

"Hao is always committed to her clients - I honestly do feel that she cares about me; I am not just another time in her calendar and she genuinely takes an interest in my progress. She likes to research and introduce new ideas to keep variety in workouts. Her openness is refreshing and  sometimes entails delivering some stern feedback, but that is what having a trainer is all about. I would highly recommend her."

"I found Hao by chance after having my first child. I knew I would need some help and motivation to start losing my pregnancy weight, especially because I was pretty sleep-deprived. I didn't know Hao, so I was a little trepidatious...but by our 2nd workout, I knew I had found the right person. Hao is not only extremely knowledgeable, but she is caring, flexible and focused. If you are clear about your fitness goals, she is undaunting in helping you to achieve them. If you're unclear in your goals, she will help bring clarity. She's also abundant in energy... and it's infectious. If you've just had a baby, she is wonderful and patient while still focused on helping you get the results you want. I would highly recommend Hao as a fitness trainer."

"I first met Hao last summer, having gained a few pounds that were proving hard to shift. My lifestyle had traditionally been one of high stress levels, little or no exercise, and my diet often included late night snacking after a long day at the office. While my initial goal was to lose the extra weight as quickly as possible, my perspective completely changed towards one of getting more fit and healthy. Under Hao’s tutelage, guidance and infinite patience, I shifted my focus towards an improved lifestyle, with better nutrient balancing and most importantly, regular exercise, involving self managed cardio sessions and training sessions focusing on toning based exercises. Exercise has now become an essential part of my life, as I feel healthier and fitter than I have for many years. The change was most noted by my doctor, who recently commented “I have never seen you looking better.” I could not have done this without Hao’s deep training skills, empathetic support and enduring patience. Above all, her non-judgmental approach to my limitations was essential to my persevering throughout the real struggles of the early days. She really excels in seeking out the specific needs of her client, balances their other lifestyle considerations, and builds a program that is both effective, sustainable and underpins the importance of valuing health first and foremost."
