Introducing...Tammy
W., NYC
When Tammy and I met she was
focused. She was determined to have me as her
trainer and she had goals.
 Her
25th birthday party was around the corner and she wanted
nothing more than to look fabulous! I remember it was an invitation
only 'White' event in New York City. Everyone
would wear white and the birthday girl had a dress that her favorite
fashion icon once wore (Beyonce) and she was determined to wear the
same dress 4 sizes smaller!!
She did it and I attended the event.
Recently, Tammy left her job at a
financial institution to start her own business. The seeds for this
business she has said started when her personal training with me
began.
I asked Tammy to tell of her journey for others to read so
that they too could understand the possibilities, the untapped
talent and gifts that lie within us all when you become focused, fit
and free! Here is her story in her words...
 Did
you
ever wake up feeling that you were trapped in the wrong body?
My
mind told me one thing and my
clothes were truly telling the world who I ‘wanted’ to be but my
reflection and size in the mirror told a different story. This was
the story of my life. I grew up a "chubby" (we dare not say
the f word) kid. During adolescence I discovered yo-yo dieting
and was on a quest with it up until my 24th birthday. I
finally joined a gym down the block from my job. Who was I fooling?
Until one day I saw this female trainer. I was a little bias about
female trainers because I thought they were not strong enough on
you. Yet, when I saw this women train some people during their
personal training session and I would say "Oh my goodness for
someone not that big in stature she is dangerous! ". And that was
it… I met Misha.
I introduced myself and from then on we have been connected.
Misha was the trainer I needed to lose weight, become stronger
(physically and mentally); beside a trainer she has become a great
friend, and at times a life coach. She is hands down the best female
trainer I know and I adore her! Misha’s spirit could rally troops
into war!
I began to eat steady meals. The more I continued on
the exercise routine she set up
specifically for me, the more I lost weight and understood how my
body worked and what I needed to do to maintain. People
started to notice at home, at work, and it gave me the extra
confidence that I needed. I could wear things I never thought
I could, and began to fit in sizes I had not seen since grade
school. In addition to rigorous workouts, she created a meal
plan uniquely for me that started pretty strict but after 2 weeks it
changed into a meal plan with the things I ate. The meal plan didn't
feel like a task to stick with it and her endless recipes and tricks
on how to stay the course really helped. Her way of making you
eat right is truly an education! Her ‘check-up’ phone calls, emails
and newsletters always helped me stay on track. Just knowing she was
a phone call or email away made me stay healthy even on the days we
didn’t meet.
Misha G. is an inspiration to anyone committed to changing
his or her lifestyle. I not only love her for the way she trained my
body but for the ‘deposits’ she has made on my soul. She is a good
listener and somehow along the way she made me live up to the old
adage of living up to your potential and being the "best me" I can
be! With her ‘lessons’ I now inspire other people to look
their best too. I have left my old body, job and changed my vocation
and lifestyle completely. I now help others with my own image
consulting business called Tammy Style.
I love myself completely now; I am a confident woman, in a job I
love, and I take pride in helping other people obtain a 'look' or
'style' that matches the way they feel on the inside. Thanks
for everything Misha!

Client Testimonials*
Working
with Misha changed my life! I was an emotional eater and picked up
even worse eating habits as I tried to start my own business. She is
tough on the body but nurturing to the mind and soul. She
educated me on foods and how to workout smarter at the gym and at
home. I never felt alone in my struggle to lose weight and learn how
to eat. I knew she always had my hand and was a text message away.
M. N., North Hollywood, CA
 Misha
is more than a personal trainer, she is a friend
and was truly like a big sister. I started working with FFF in
the hope that I would lose weight for my prom and finally have
pictures of myself that I didn't hate. I hated my chubby cheeks and
love my sweets. I am 18 years old and was 130 lbs with 26% body fat.
I had 2 1/2 months to get to my goal-- which she clearly
explained what was a healthy weight and BF% for me... and I did it!
I am now 117 lbs. and 22% body fat. The workouts were hard but the
nutrition education and how to read labels was amazing. I now have
control of my eating and my health from this point 'forward'! Face
Forward Fitness (and Misha) ROCK!!! Livia C., North Hollywood, CA
I
didn't eat properly, was underweight and was always exhausted. This
emotionally drained feeling all the time made me very depressed. I
met Misha and found someone who was willing to work with me on every
aspect of training-mind, body and spirit. My training with her was
like an intervention. We worked on my eating habits, how to prepare
healthy meals/snacks, proper form while working out and each work
out was different and completely focused on me. I built up muscle
and strengthened my lower back where I had chronic pain. I started
to look healthy again... I am forever grateful for God putting her
in my life.

 Introducing...Norma
S.
When Norma came to me with questions about getting a trainer it
was because of her increase in blood pressure medication that
worried her and her gradual, but consistent weight gain over the
last 5 years.
Norma (right) at the gym after a tough workout
She feared taking a cocktail of meds
that she felt would only get worse as she got older. Her doctor told
her to take the medication as prescribed, eat a balanced diet and
workout more. I remember Norma coming to me saying "I have a label
on the medication, but how do I even begin to do the rest". She had
her first consult with me and then the journey started. I am proud
to say Norma not only lost weight and dropped in body fat but after
a visit to the doctor, she was told her blood pressure was in check
and her medication dosage was dropped drastically.
She is now able to manage her weight
and keep her blood sugar under control through exercise and a proper
meal plan.
