Annie is wonderful at meeting people where they're at. She has a individualized approach which honors your current state, the goals you have, and what you want moving foward. HIGHLY reccommend!

I went to see Amanda with a complicated health issue that was affecting my ability to exercise. She offered a new perspective which immensely helped me. I felt cared for and appreciated the no-judgement approach. Would absolutely recommend Annie's studio!

Working with Matt at Forest Coaching has been an incredible experience. I was needing a lot of support after coming back from a long time away from working out and injuries, and Matt was excellent. I was initially unsure about working with a male coach, as I had a lot of toxic male coaches when I played organized sports, but Matt is so supportive, kind, caring, and knowledgeable. He immediately put me at ease, understood where I was coming from, and provided all the tools I needed to get started again. I love the holistic approach to both strength and mobility, as well as their use of neuro re-training. I've gained back a lot of strength and stabilization, but most importantly for me, the confidence to work out again on my own and actually enjoy it. Some gyms and trainers I've worked with in the past I dreaded, because the workouts were so punishing and the trainers just wanted me to do what they told me, without taking into account my injuries and needs. That's totally the opposite with Forest Coaching. I never dread the workouts because I know Matt will push me, but he'll always prioritize my comfort and safety. The one:one work with coaches here would be great for anyone at any level, but I think especially if you have no idea where to start, or you're recovering from injuries or a lifetime of toxic coaching, this is a really great place to be. I have only great things to say about the staff and the studio; I'm so lucky I live close by to this gem!

I've worked with Matt weekly for five months and it's easily been the best experience I've ever had in terms of fitness (F in late 50s). I originally came for strength and wanted to have fun so we started with kettlebells and I've gained pounds of muscle and bone! I was surprised to discover he could also work with chronic pain and he's done a lot to teach me how to send my nervous system messages of safety, reducing pain frequency and intensity. And indeed, it's super fun to work with him. I learn something every week and he is amazing at being spontaneous relative to what I'd like to work on. The rest of the team is great too. Easy to schedule and work with. I also love the space.

I cannot say enough good things about working with Annie over the last 6 months (and Matt, when Annie and my schedules haven't matched up!). I have a history of being an athlete, but after having a second baby I was becoming increasingly frustrated with my slow recovery. My body felt out of sync and I could not make any progress on my own. I started working with Annie and I feel like I have found a personal trainer who not only works with me physically, but also mentally and emotionally. Honestly, while I am happy with my physical gains, I am so much more surprised and pleased with my mental fortitude and emotional growth under Annie's instruction. Pretty much every session I cry and laugh and sweat and it is incredibly therapeutic. She truly understands me as an entire human, not just a body. 10/5 stars!
