Training Philosophy
I like to think my training philosophy revolves around toughness in a positive way (note to Greg Everett’s book “Tough”). In summary, it revolves around your Character, Capability, Capacity and Commitment. I like to help people define their goals based on these criteria. We’re all at different stages of our lives, emotionally and physically, so finding your individual approach is necessary to achieve your goals.

PT Clients Reviews
Amber
"Returning to consistent training and sport, I realized that I needed a Personal Trainer to make sure I was optimizing everything I did, and Enif has been nothing short of amazing.
I have given her multiple and divergent goals, sprinkled them with a few injuries and still have achieved lifting PRs, improved my speed, lost fat and feel strong and fierce.
Her knowledge is extensive and she knows what levers to pull to get results. I could not be happier or more excited to see how far I can go with Enif pushing me."
Laura
"Enif is quite honestly the best Personal Trainer I have ever had! I have tried numerous PTs at CrossFit, F45, etc, but training with Enif is the only thing that has kept me consistent and injury-free. She always seems to strike the right balance between pushing you to your highest potential, and knowing when to ease off and encourage rest. I have recommended Enif to friends, and will continue to do so."
Aaron
"Enif is an excellent Personal Trainer who focuses on correct technique and knows very well how to structure a program to achieve the desired goals. She is also very supportive and motivational and knows when to push someone to perform better and not slack off.
I have gotten stronger than expected and gained a good amount of muscle, plus managed to lose some body fat, which was an excellent outcome. I will continue to train with Enif as long as possible and cannot recommend her highly enough. Thank you so much for everything!"
Loribelle
"Enif is the perfect balance of a Personal Trainer who pushes you forward, while also providing a safe, supportive and enjoyable experience that keeps you motivated to continue working. Enif has had to work around a couple of different injuries that I sustained, but despite this, we were able to meet my weight-loss and strength goals while also maintaining my fitness."
