I love strength training with Annie! She's friendly, approachable, knowledgeable, and best of all, non-judgmental. I was nervous about getting started because I hadn't done weight training before, but she broke it down in a way that was easy to understand, and inspired me to challenge myself in a safe way. The environment in her group classes is friendly and supportive. I highly recommend training with her!
