NASM Certified Personal Trainer in Orange County, California
When I signed up for training my main priority at the time was just losing weight. I didn’t know anything about counting macros, nor strength training, & lifting, but I’ve grown to love it. Although I still want to drop some body fat, I’m more interested in building muscle now. My overall eating habits have also improved so much since I started training. I’ve learned how to track calories/macros & how to prioritize protein. Fueling my body with food, has also made it possible to lift heavier & hit PRs.
“Glayol is hands down the best trainer I’ve ever had! She’s tailored my workouts specifically to meet my short term goals (looking reasonable in my bathing suit in two months) and taking into account my pre-existing knee injury (torn meniscus). There’s something magical about her training method because I have yet to feel pain in my knee after a workout nor does my body feel overly sore from the workouts. In fact, my knee seems stronger. Glayol is fun to workout with and an excellent listener and motivator who pushes me beyond my own perceived weight lifting boundaries. Hiring Glayol is the best investment I have made in myself. I highly recommend Glayol and look forward to getting back in shape with her as my trainer.”
“I’ve lost 20 lbs in under 5 months, while training with Glayol. I won’t lie & say it’s been easy, but it’s definitely been worth it. G has always kept it real since the beginning. She’s very understanding, but will also let it be known if you’re not following directions. As long as you put in the work & follow her recommendations, you’ll see the results.”
“I struggled with being overweight for years & was tired of losing & gaining the same 10 lbs every year. I contemplated working with a personal trainer for a long time, I was scared of the cost & committing to a lifestyle change. But training with Glayol has honestly been the best investment I’ve made.”
“I’ve had a few struggles throughout this journey, but Glayol has always been very helpful. She takes the time to explain things in detail, & makes sure that you really understand what she’s saying.”
