Phyllis was my trainer for a year and still would be had she not moved out of state. Under her tutelage, I lost 53 pounds through lifestyle changes, not dieting. More importantly, I became strong, fit, and at 54 years old, I'm in the best shape of my life. We were successful as a team largely because Phyllis has the uncanny ability to insert just what is needed when needed. She was a constant source of energy, encouragement and expertise. I couldn't have done it without her.

We have had 3 years together and through our business relationship as trainer and client, a friendship grew. I appreciate your ability to change my outlook and my shape. Boy, when I saw results, YOU were the reason!!!

I consider Phyllis to be much more than a personal trainer. I think she has enthusiastically assisted me with lifestyle coaching that has helped me not only understand the importance of health, but has taught me how it must be integrated into my lifestyle in order to achieve optimal results. I consider her ability to motivate me her greatest strength. As dedicated to my success as anyone I've ever worked with, I look forward to working with her more in the future.

You have distinguished yourself by exercising the highest degree of techinical expertise necessary to implement an incredibly diversified community fitness program.
-DeAnna B Thank you for your inspiration! Phyllis, you have made this deployment so much for comfortable...I thank you from the bottom of my heart...you are an amazing woman. -SSGT Jimmy Houser, USMC -Glenn and Linda H. One of the first things I asked Phyllis was "Will I be able to see a change in 2 months?" Eight weeks later, not only do I see a change, but I feel like a new person. Phyllis has been my driving force; she has changed my lifestyle by showing me how to transform my body in a healthy manner. I am leaner, fitter and stronger than I ever have been. -Alessia S. Once our goals were established she then created specific training programs for each of us that were increasingly challenging, and that she revised periodically in order to maintain our interest and to continually expand our capabilities. It has been our distinct pleasure to have known Phyllis both personally and professionally. We highly recommend her as a personal trainer for anyone who wants a trainer who is always positive, upbeat and will give 100% effort to helping them achieve their personal training goals. -Jack and Linda M.

Training for me was the answer to staying motivated and knowing I could finally stick to a program and make it a part of my weekly routine. I love the way I look and feel about my body. I truly enjoy working with you. Thanks for your help.

When I first met Phyllis I had no idea the change she would make in my life. My goal was to build my upperbody strength in order to pursue a favorite hobby of mine, playing tennis. She combined her excellent knowledge of physical training with her great insight into what makes people want to succeed. Not only did I gain the strength I wanted, but, my whole body benefited over the next 6 weeks. I owe her a great deal for these remarkable results and for inspiring me to want to continue my workouts as part of a healthy lifestyle.
Thank you for your superb dedication to the welfare of coalition forces during Operation Iraqi Freedom with Task Force 3d Battalion, 2d Marines at Camp Al Qa'im, Al Anbar, Iraq.

I first met Phyllis Ward in October 2007 as a part of the "12 Week Challenge" here at Al Qa'im. She smiled and said, "hi Sir, how may I help you." Without hesitation, she assisted me and other members of my platoon with personal attention, motivating us to set realistic goals to accomplish while we were deployed. Phyllis assisted us with work out programs, nutritional information, and encouraged us to focus on our physical readiness. She had compassion for service members at AQ that was unmatched. Her unwavering devotion to duty and dedication to service members at AQ makes her an invaluable asset and a team member. Phyllis's tenacious spirit has helped us maintain our focus to keep physically fit in order to accomplish our mission. As we will leave this area of operation, she will forever be remembered.

Linda and I were talking the other day how lucky we were to have worked with you as our trainer. You have been reliable, thoughtful, cheerful and nice to be around. Thank you for our great experience in being part of our journey in life, and we will always remember you for helping keeping us be healthier. It has been a pleasure. we hope the best for you.
It has been our pleasure to have Phyllis as our trainer for the past four years. We were very impressed beginning at our initial meeting with the degree of attention that Phyllis gave to determining each of our individual training needs and goals.
