Testimonials

"Hands down: Heather and Roger are the most passionate personal trainers I've ever met! Their knowledge about training techniques, anatomy and nutrition is exceptional and their training methods are on point. I've trained with Heather mostly and what I love most about her is that she challenges me to achieve my individual fitness goals with a well balanced approach - both, pushing me to succeed, yet patient with the process. She listens well to my needs and is extremely educational and supportive. I highly recommend working with Heather and Roger, if you are looking for personal trainers that are highly educated and truly know what they are doing."

"Heather and Roger are the most caring, passionate, and knowledgeable trainers you could work with. They will encourage you and motivate you to reach your goals while also being considerate of any limitations you may have. You can tell their love for what they do by the care they put into their facility. I have learned and grown so much thanks to them and if you’re looking to do the same, this is the place for you!"

"It's always a real pleasure to work out with Roger and the team at Made Possible Personal Training. They're all really inspiring, knowledgeable, patient, and they care about you achieving your fitness goals! Highly recommend if you're looking to attain a healthier lifestyle!! Excellent place to work-out!!"

"The best workout experience I’ve ever had. Heather, Roger, and Taylor are not only incredibly knowledgeable and supportive, but they are also positive and fun. They truly take a hands-on approach with their clients, ensuring our safety through proper mechanics. I have seen a major improvement in my body and mind after working out with them, and I know you will too. So thankful to have them in St. Pete!"

"The folks here are amazing. I've worked out with Heather for nearly three years. I have spine issues and now another health condition that hinders my progress at times. It seems like Heather senses what I can handle and what I need from the workout the moment I walk in the door. Heather, Roger and Taylor go beyond personal training. They have made a difference in my life."

"Amazing! That's the one word I would use for this gym. I am not a gym person and needed motivation to get my fitness kick started. I love the personal attention received by Heather, Roger and Taylor. They have tailored my workouts to ensure I don't do too much cardio to trigger my asthma and to gain the strength I needed in my shoulders. I am so grateful for finding this gym. They are the sweetest, most supportive people as well. Even making sure we are supported while working out at home during this pandemic crisis with equipment, virtual workouts, emails and texts. I just love this place."

"Made Possible is hands down the best personal training experience I have ever used. I truly enjoy the workouts, their friendship, and the results. Along with the strength training, they have been masterful with flexibility and therapy around some injuries. I truly wish every day started with an early session with the Made Possible team."

"The Made Possible Trainers are the best I’ve worked with! I have worked with a variety of gyms and trainers with different styles, difficulties and focuses but feel most comfortable with MPPT. From the beginning, the focus is on enabling the client to reach their goals and take ownership of their health. Whether you’re doing private or small group sessions you will receive attentive coaching, education and tailored exercises to ensure your workout is benefiting you. There is no “one size fits all” approach here. If an exercise doesn’t work due to flexibility or prior injury, they replace it on the spot. If something is causing pain, they work to pinpoint the issue as soon as it happens. In addition to being awesome trainers they are also very welcoming and fun to be around. The gym has a great design and is always clean."

“Roger is the best trainer I've ever had. I'm not a muscle or gym guy at all but I've tried to keep up with the gym over the years and had many so called trainers work with me. Roger is the first trainer who actually saw ME and watched ME as I worked out. He tailored my workout to my weaknesses even adapting 'normal' exercises to improve my posture, movements and range to bring me to the correct position. As an example. when he saw one of my heels consistently coming up off the floor during squats, he created some exercises that slowly help remove that weakness. Patient and very focused on the individual I definitely would recommend Roger.”

“Roger was my personal trainer at SPARK Kuwait. Let me start by saying that as a trainer, he was great, but more importantly, as a person, he was even better. Being an athlete who happens to go to the gym for strength and endurance to help me with my sport, Roger took the time to understand my sport, seek out my strengths and weaknesses and develop a program that fits my needs. The exercises were very new to me, and he was great in demonstrating the importance of such exercises along with teaching me how to do them. I would highly recommend Roger as trainer: he knows what he is doing and he cares about his clients.”

“My favorite personal trainer. Heather is so up beat that you just can't help but smile and laugh during your workout. Her anatomical knowledge is impressive and she is incredibly responsive to her clients needs.”

“Since day one of training with Heather she has made me feel special. Heather is extremely positive and was always so incredibly encouraging. Heather’s demeanor and outlook on life is beautiful and I’m so thankful our paths crossed! Heather has changed my outlook on life and I am forever grateful that I was able to learn and grow from my experience training with her.”
