Check out this awesome testimonial from one of Julie’s rockstar personal training clients, Kaili Harding-Kaminski!  Kaili and Julie have been working together for over four months now and Kaili has seen some awesome results.  Kaili describes the changes with how she looks and feels throughout the day as well as while she is working out.  She also speaks to the importance of the accountability that Julie provides for her on a regular basis and how that impacts her decisions when she is not at Muscle Activation Schaumburg.

“Hi!  I’m Kaili Harding-Kaminski.  I am a client of Julie Errington’s at Muscle Activation Schaumburg.  I have been working out with Julie since about mid-November.  I remember her asking me, “Do you really want to start before the holidays?  It’s a tough time.”  But I knew that with her she would help me be accountable to myself and help me make smart choices, not only through the holidays, but it has continued through the new year.  We just did one of our weekly weigh-ins and check-ins to see how the progress is going and I am down a lot from when I first started, about probably ten pounds since I first started!

“But it is not just the weight.  I am seeing so many differences in the way that I feel, how I sleep at night, my energy level.  I feel like my skin has gotten better.  I feel a lot more strong and fit, like I don’t feel tired.  When we are doing the workouts, I know I am progressing.  It is so exciting.  I couldn’t do it without Julie.  She keeps me accountable.  She is texting me and emailing me ideas and thoughts all the time.  I just love that.  I feel inspired when I come here and it makes me continue to make good choices for the rest of the week.”
