Testimonials

Rives Deaton Through my life, I have always been active and tried to stay in shape. I've done everything from aerobics and step classes to working with a trainer and working out on my own. I felt like I was in decent shape. That's until I met Jinjer and started her boot camp class. Jinjer has taken me to the next level of fitness. I feel better than I have in several years and I'm so grateful! Thank you Jinjer.

Eric Deaton, I have played sports all of my life, I played basketball, baseball, football and ran track in high school. I went on to play college basketball for a short time. After starting my career in healthcare due to the hours at work I found it difficult to stay in shape. Over the years I have tried various ways to get in shape including running… a lot, and have tried different workout routines with varying degrees of success. My wife Rives originally started going to boot camp with Jinjer and suggested I try the individual workout with Jinjer as my coach. I am about to complete my 6th week and can honestly say I am in the best shape I have been in over 10 years. Jinjer is a motivator and I look forward to my workouts three times a week. The routines are always different (boxing, martial arts, weight lifting, core exercises and cardiovascular conditioning) which not only keeps me from getting bored but also creates muscle confusion which accelerates the results from working out. I have seen significant change in the way I look and feel and I am sleeping better. I have lost at least 10 lbs in the past month and have decreased my resting heart rate from the low 70’s to the mid to low 60’s. Because I like to run I have incorporated running in my workouts by running to the studio, working out and then running home. By doing this I have burned in excess of 1200 calories per workout. In the past when I have worked out this hard I have ultimately injured myself, Jinjer is careful to ensure you are not pushing yourself to injury and always starts and ends every workout to ask you how you are feeling and if you feel you have over done the workout to the point of injury. If you are looking for a way to get in shape, injury free and stay motivated and have fun I can easy say that working with Jinjer and her staff at “A Step Above Training Concepts” is the way to go!
