“ I took part in group training with Deb and was blown away with her knowledge of muscle groups, her variety of targeted routines and her unique and gentle motivational manner. I was so impressed I can hardly wait until our next training session and would recommend her in an instant as an effective and very positive trainer.” Richard M.

"Several years ago I was diagnosed with spinal stenosis. Part of the problem may have been that during my lifetime I was never given any form of exercise and I was advised to seek a personal trainer and because of recommendations I chose Deb Bailey. I have a mobility problem, a balance problem,severe tightening of the muscles and core problems. Deb helps me immensely in coping with these problems, and improving core strength and balance. She recommended that I have a Personal Trainer like her when I was out of the country for 3 months- that way I would have a trainer year round.My trainers exercise me to the extent possible and a good part of this program,(an important part) is to get me on the table for stretching 2 hours a week. Deb has been excellent!"-Philip.
