”The World’s Greatest Trumpet
Player”
“I wake up every morning, excited and eager to face the day with anticipation of going to the gym to have fun with Janis. Walking the cobblestone roads of Mexico are a piece of cake. I could walk up and down stairs all day long. Working out with Janis has made everything better, including playing the trumpet…..my motto…Never Give Up”

"Learning to Trust her Body"
Before: 365 lbs Now: 200 lbs and going down!
Four months ago,I made the decision to exercise for the first time in my life and asked Janis to help me. Walking into Janis' gym, I was scared, hesitant and had no confidence or belief in my body. My thoughts were: I was too fat, too clumsy, too slow, unbalanced and could not even entertain the idea of picking up anything off the floor. That day changed my way of thinking forever. I started talking to Janis and told her that I thought I was too fat to exercise. Her reply changed my life. She said..."I was too fat NOT to exercise and now was the time to start taking care of this precious gift that allows us to enjoy our lives". Those words, said with much love and compassion, began a whole new way of thinking and feeling for me.....Now there is no more dimness in my life. Instead, there is an everlasting shining ray of hope that I feed from every time I need to ..... TODAY I AM A BEAUTIFUL STRONG WOMAN!!!!!! I believe in me, I have learned to trust my body.... And that is an awesome feeling!
Janis is an outstanding human being and that is matched by her passion to help women became more healthy, physically, emotionally and in my case spiritually.....

Janis has really helped me keep fit. Without her I would probably be a couch potato! Dotty
Working out with Janis over the past several years has not only been so much fun but has added strength and balance to my very athletic onstage acting career. At 67, I can jump, twist, fall, sing and dance just like a kid... bringing the house down. I love it! Sudheer

"The first 30 years of our life are a gift. After that, we have to work hard to stay fit and preserve our quality of life. I'm in my 70's and had open heart surgery in the past year. I had been working out with personal trainer Janis McDonald for two years prior to electing to have my plumbing repaired. My surgeon said he wished all his patients were in as good shape before surgery as I was because it enabled me to better deal with the trauma of this major procedure and to recover more quickly as well. I went back to training with Janis in a matter of weeks following surgery and she coordinated my cardiac rehabilitation program with my cardiologist. I'm feeling stronger than ever and I'm a firm believer in the many benefits of fitness training's key role in physical and mental well being as we age."

Janis has impacted, influenced, improved my life with her knowledge, enthusiasm and a sincere interest in me. She provided the keys that enabled me to open my personal doors to improved health. Only one year ago, I couldn’t walk up the steep hills of my Mexican home town, now I am at the top before I know it. My range of motion, strength, balance, and confidence have all improved through physical training under her guidance. I can't say it isn't sometimes a pain in the neck to work out, but I can say that after each session I feel healthier and more invigorated just knowing that I have pushed my personal limits and I can still walk, talk and, yes, smile. Thanks!

My personal fitness journey with Janis began 3 1/2 years ago. During this time, I gained the confidence and strength I needed to lose 100 pounds and the motivation to keep it off by continuing my new healthy lifestyle . Janis knows this business like no one else.
Three years ago I could not walk to town. Today I feel there is no mountain I cannot climb!
Janis is a winner!

In my early fifties, I was forced to reassess my physical condition. I was on the verge of entering my “late” middle age in lousy shape. I had back pain and limitation of mobility effecting my quality of life. Like an aging car, my warranty had clearly run out.
It had finally dawned on me that I needed to do something and I was lucky enough to choose Janis McDonald as my trainer.
My wife, Elaine joined me and we embarked on joint customized training programs. We were committed to getting in shape, adding some muscle mass to see us into our “golden” years and improve our balance and flexibility.
Our progress under Janis’ training has been remarkable. We have both benefited immensely. Now at 65, I can say that I am in better shape than anytime since my thirties. My back problem is gone. We are both free of any physical limitations, and feel great leading an active and healthier lifestyle together. All in all, it has been a great success, and even after all these years, we cannot imagine not pursuing my training with Janis

“Start
Today, Do Not Delay”
“When I was in my early sixties, I felt so young at heart
but my body just wasn’t keeping up with my mind. Then I found Janis’ program
and for the last 30 years have been using her plan. Now at 93, I feel young
and am in better shape then when I was in my 50’s. I tell everyone, “Don’t
stop, Hop ‘til you drop”

“At 78, my “Body” by Janis can race up 400 meter Atzec pyramids on the High Plateau in Mexico---with oxygen tank on my back and hose in my nose—without losing my balance” all thanks to Janis’ program.”
