Training with Carla has been fantastic. She is innovative, direct, and focused, yet also manages to let you know she genuinely cares about your overall health and well-being. While muscle toning and strength-training are key areas of Carla's training style, she addresses cardiovascular and flexibility as well - building an individualized training program that is challenging, interesting, and fun. She is the perfect blend in a trainer - tough when you need it, and an uncanny ability to push you farther than you think you can go. I highly recommend her!

Carla has been my personal trainer for approximately eight years. She's very knowledgeable and very skillful, but to me her greatest talent is her ability to focus on her clients personal goals and to find methods to help each client attain them.

I started going to Outrageously Fit about seven years ago. Although I had used personal trainers in the past I have never had anyone who was as thorough and capable as Carla Quam. I am 55 years old and when I started with Carla I weighed 156 pounds, and on my 6'2" frame was not much. I also was not very toned or strong. I am now weighing in at 178 pounds with no flab anywhere.

When I first joined a gym a couple of years ago I knew I was out of shape and I was a bit frightened by all the folks that seemed to know what they were doing, that they were watching me. Art helped me understand that we ALL have to start somewhere and that I'd understand soon enough that once you start working out you're not paying attention to other folks. I've worked with Art and in the process lost about 30 pounds and gained significant strength and muscle mass. In addition I have gained a lot of confidence about my body and my ability to accomplish my goals. Art is the kind of trainer that helped me shape up my attitude and perspective as well as my body. I don't know if he understands what a profound impact he has had on my life.

I came to Outrageously Fit as a person who hated exercise. I had finally realized that the only way I was going to start doing it regularly was to have someone forcing me to both show up and work to my potential. After checking out and deciding against a couple of other training studios, I met with Carla, and right away I knew I'd found my fitness guide.

Carla is a terrific motivator with skills in rehabilitation and in helping people to overcome fitness blocks and injuries. I was surprised when I found out we wouldn't just be working on the regular old 'weights and cardio' routine, but would also be adding in a number of exercises designed to increase balance and stability. I didn't know I needed these, but after a few months of them I realized that a lifetime of knee problems may not be in my future after all. Instead, I've developed stable joints and a strong core, and feel that I can participate in activities I wouldn't have dared before.

As a trainer, Carla has helped me identify my strong fitness areas and has designed programs that made me learn to enjoy working out, finally. She also continues to help me improve my weaker areas. Additionally, she is a very flexible trainer because I'd had a repetitive-strain injury and she was able to design a whole new type of workout so that I would still get a strength workout without overtaxing my arms -- pretty amazing!

Carla is the sort of person who expects greatness from you so you are inspired to it yourself. So that, even on days when you don't really care about letting yourself down, you never want to let her down, and that gets you through. This is a quality found only in the best teachers, and you will find it in Carla Quam at Outrageously Fit.

Approximately six months ago, following much chiding from my daughter, I began a series of weight-lifting and cardiovascular workouts with Amy Woods. Because I suffer from both Peripheral Neuropathy as well as debilitating arthritis in my feet, I wanted someone who understood my body, not just in terms of a good workout but from a holistic medical point of view. I found what I was looking for and much more in Amy Woods. She personalizes my workouts, leading me through strengthening exercises that she carefully monitors to be certain they do not tax my body in negative ways. Her R.N. experience, her vast knowledge in the health and fitness field as well as her personal caring ways, have provided me with the confidence to continue striving toward health. Today, I can easily lift my body weight from the bottom of the bathtub with my arm strength. I couldn't do that six months ago.
