Body Essentials Personal Training & Wellness - North Chittenden, Vermont

Before joining Body Essentials, I'd been to various gym settings but often struggled with motivation and felt awkward and aimless at times. The smaller scale and personalized attention at Body Essentials attracted me. Over the years I've gotten to know the group of other women, which adds a social aspect as well as some accountability. I've never felt judged and appreciate that we can work out together but still focus on our own needs and goals. I love the convenience of remote classes, the variety of workouts, and Christie's ability to track our progress and tailor exercises to accommodate each of our abilities as well as our spaces at home. Body Essentials isn't about working out for the sake of losing weight or adhering to a certain expectation. It's a resource I can count on for education about our bodies, the reasons for an approach, how it all fits into our lifestyles, and why it's important. Body Essentials inspires me to prioritize my health and I'd happily recommend them to anyone who values a deeper perspective.

Christie is a wonderful trainer! and a smart and kind person who really cares about her clients and community. I've been working out with Christie for about a year and a half now; I started on the heels of a lengthy recovery from a broken arm that left me feeling weaker than I'd ever felt. I was looking for someone who worked with (and had specific knowledge about) training women over 50. My goal was to get really strong without getting hurt--in the body that I have (not pretending my body is the same as it was 20 or 30 years ago). Christie is that person with that knowledge, and I trust her completely. I have gotten stronger and fitter, and I feel really good. Her live and on-demand classes are great, and her one-on-one training is exactly what I need to maintain my health and strength as I get older, at a very reasonable cost. I'm so grateful to have found Body Essentials Personal Training! Highly recommend.

I started working out with Christie and her team to improve my strength and have experienced much more over the years I’ve been with Body Essentials. The variety of ways you can exercise is great and workouts are never the same. Christie offers education and support for nutrition and other aspects of wellness as well. It has been amazing to witness and be part of the evolution of Christie’s vision for healthy living. It is fun to belong to the BE community!

3+ years ago I met Christie and decided to learn about body essentials and what they offered. I had started my fitness journey about a year prior and was needing a change. Best decision ever!!!!! The small group sessions, 1:1 training sessions and classes are never boring. It is a place of encouragement and community. It is unlike any gym atmosphere. It is small enough that everyone encourages each other and if you do get off track the coaches notice and will help you get back on the right track. I know for certain that because I found this place I an helthier and stronger then I have ever been in my life.

I have been with BE since 2018 and it's the best place I've ever worked out. The BE family is always there for you and will push you to your limit. They offer a variety of classes for all people. When we had to go virtual due to a Pandemic Christie never missed a beat. If you are looking for a community of people to help you reach your goals then BE is for you. Give Christie a shout and come join our supportive, individual goal oriented team.

Body Essentials is very unique and different from other health clubs or gyms. You get personal attention and training fitted to you to get you to the “best” you. As you are getting stronger, healthier and more confident, you are learning how along the way. When you’re ready to get serious and achieve the fitness and wellness you desire, call Christie.

After leading a sedentary life for decades because I was not a fan of exercise, I decided I needed a change. I liked the concept of one on one training Body Essentials had to offer, so I figured why not give it a try. The hardest part was walking through that door on my first day. I immediately felt comfortable and knew this was the place I needed to be.

Christie kept pushing me to do more and more. The stronger I got, the more confident I became. Thanks Christie for pushing me when I doubted myself. You showed me the way to find joy in exercise and how to believe in myself. This journey is just beginning!
