Anisa’s Client Testimonials

“I have exercised and have been on many diets alone yielding no results, until I started training with Anisa. I have learned which exercises help with my balance and strength as I’m aging and which foods to eat. I have weighed over 200 lbs and knew i had to do something. Over 4 months I have lost 40 lbs and have learned to plan my food ahead of time and eating well balanced meals because of Anisa. Eating the right foods, I feel more energized. I have also learned that it helps to work out online with Anisa, for accountability and great success! Anisa has made her Online Training so easily accessible that I can workout anywhere!”

“I just finished working out on Zoom with my amazing trainer Anisa Boscia, and she encouraged me to post my thoughts. Because I’m having all kinds of crazy thoughts about how far I’ve come in my health! I want to go farther, of course, but it’s also really good to stop and think about how far I’ve come, how much progress I’ve made, to help me integrate the wins, and celebrate!

When I started on my health journey over four years ago, it was after a lifelong battle with my weight, food addiction, binge eating, etc. Starting at a young age, I did not have a healthy relationship with food. But over the past four years, I have learned how to be healthy. Sure, I lost weight and have kept it off, but that seems so small compared to all that I’ve gained. The ability to persevere. The tools to make good choices when I’m emotionally triggered. The desire to continue pursuing healthy, and continue to ramp it up with things like new fitness goals!

I used to want to be skinny. I achieved that, starting in size 14 pants, now knowing that every size 4 on the planet will fit me. But now I want to be strong. After losing the weight following my nutrition plan, I started working out with ANISA and have improved my fitness, because I want to be able to climb any mountain, lift up my kids, do anything I set my mind to! I know too well what can happen to an aging body if there isn’t muscle tone, if there isn’t exercise to strengthen the bones, and it breaks my heart. My WHY is to be able to be active with my grandkids. I’m an older mom, having babies in my late 30’s, so I know that if I want to be around and active for my grandkids, I have to step it up and be ultra healthy! So I don’t chase skinny anymore, I chase strength! And in the meantime, my size 4 jeans still fit!

I share all of this as a reminder to myself. My Facebook memories showed me a picture of myself from 10 years ago, and I wish I could hug that 35-year old self. I’ve come so far, and I’m so grateful for ANISA!!”

“A shout-out to Anisa Boscia who was my Personal Exercise Specialist for almost 2 years, and I would eagerly recommend her to anyone wanting improvement in their strength, health, and ability to be active. I started with Anisa after I had lost about 60lbs through dieting. I was thinner, but not necessarily healthier. A major obstacle for me was the fact that my job kept me on the road almost every week, so joining a gym, signing up for classes, or having a coach come to my house was not an option. I also knew that there several types of exercise I really did not enjoy doing, such as running or aerobics, which self-limited my choices.

Anisa’s approach was perfect for me and my life/work schedule. First, her training is entirely focused on your goals and abilities. When my shoulder started hurting, she made substantive changes to strengthen it. When I took a break because of other health issues she immediately redesigned my routines to accommodate what I was able to accomplish.

Best of all for me was her ability to use the internet and Facebook to establish a system of face-to-face training combined with a library of exercise videos that I could review at any time. Working out in a hotel room was as simple as packing a few exercise bands, and she could design an entire set of routines without me having to use the hotel gym. When I later became more comfortable going to those gyms, she would modify my routine to take advantage of whatever equipment the hotel provided.

Every week began with the reconfirmation of my goals followed by an observation of my technique. Even though I had already lost the weight, I started seeing significant improvement in my functional strength, muscle definition, and ability to hike, bicycle, paddle board, and whatever physical activity I tried. Anisa was also coach to my wife, and we can now enjoy activities together that were, before, exceedingly difficult choices. Her training is life changing.”

“Shout out to Anisa Boscia, my fitness trainer for helping me realize goals I have had for optimal health! Here is what optimal health looks like!…After 90 lbs weight loss…still contending to improve my health! I have lost> 5% body fat in just over 3 months! I am now in an athlete category for my body composition for someone my age, 55-years-old! More importantly, the chronic pain in my lower back and hip are no longer an issue preventing me from being active.

With a lighter and stronger body, I have Confidence to try new activities with success! I routinely did stand up paddle boarding until it got too cold(even lifting my board onto the top of my car by myself!) Riding both trail and road bikes have become a part of the joy of my activity. Right now, I am Dreaming about what the winter will bring for me with my new lighter and stronger body. Also, I am ready to take it to the next level with new goals for strength and balance.“
