"I spent 6 years working with Ariel as my personal fitness instructor. It was a real pleasure to work with her, because of her professional expertise, personal manner and above all, cheerful and enthusiastic personality. We spent several hours a week together and upon her recommendation, we focused on a variety of fitness approaches, incorporating both weight bearing exercises, aerobic workouts, stretching and even some yoga techniques, all to keep this middle-aged lady healthy and pain-free!
Ariel was very attentive to my needs and concerns and over the years would adapt our routines to meet my physical limitations as well as the fitness goals we had set together. She was always interested in coming up with new approaches for ongoing and chronic physical problems I had with my knees, back and feet. She was demanding but always pleasant to be with, and the time flew by with her because our conversations would run the gamut from politics to fashion to family matters, all while also providing attentive focus to the goals and required steps of the workout. She was also a great source of information on nutritional and diet goals.
In later years I also took up dedicated yoga sessions with Ariel, which I also found enjoyable and valuable. I was especially interested in her focus on the mind/body connection and her advice about breathing techniques along with yoga positions. I was very impressed with her dedication to yoga which she skillfully combined with her fitness expertise to fuse into a great mind and body workout.
If you are lucky enough to spend time with Ariel, you’ll come to appreciate and admire all she has to offer to sustain and improve your physical and mental well being!"
