Testimonials:

Read about experiences from past participants in the program below!

“I am so glad I had the opportunity to participate in UPLIFT. The program didn’t end on the weekend, it incorporated weekly workouts and gave us the ability to track our progress which I greatly appreciated. It was always exciting to do something new, outside of the regular lifting, such as flip the tire or pull the sleds. Over the weeks, I could see a considerable difference in my lifts and experienced great gains! I highly recommend the program, Dominique is very knowledgeable about lifting techniques and extremely supportive.”

-Shirley

“Dominique is so much more than a trainer; she exudes pure passion and true dedication in everything she does, which I absolutely saw translated throughout our training together. Her motivation and ability to get the best out of everyone around her is unreal. She pushed me to do things I never thought were possible, without even realizing how much work I put in – because every second of the training was so much fun.”

-Emma

“Working out with Dominique on a weekly basis caused a dramatic change in my outlook on fitness and my own personal body image. She provided constant encouragement and her enthusiasm was infectious; I found myself pushing myself much further than I typically would just because she made me think I could – and she was right! Dominique made me realize that it didn’t matter what other people were doing, but when I stepped up to the platform it was all about what I could do and how to push myself… I couldn’t be more grateful to Dominique for forcing me out of my comfort zone and into her world of female empowerment, where anything was possible if you were willing to work for it.”

-Joey

“Dominique is an amazing coach, resource, role model, and friend. In the weeks after my first experience with UPLIFT, she has made every effort to help me verbalize and achieve my goals beyond the original program. During UPLIFT, Dominique led fun, informative, and challenging group workouts each Saturday. In addition, she provided timely and helpful feedback to maximize our independent lifting sessions throughout the week. Thanks to Dominique’s programming, dedication, and encouragement I was able to set a new personal best for each of my lifts and develop a love for strength work. I walked away from the UPLIFT program with improved form, greater strength, a deeper respect for my body, and sincere friendships that transcend our sweat sessions at the gym.”

-Emily

“UPLIFT has been an amazing journey. I have always considered myself an athlete, but none of the sports I gravitated toward – running, cycling, yoga – made me strong. At age 44, lifting weights has begun to sculpt my body in amazing ways. My posture has improved and I stand taller and feel more powerful. That feeling of strength and confidence has translated to other aspects of my life, too. Not only have I enjoyed the results of getting stronger, but I enjoyed the process. The workouts are fun, challenging, and best of all, the other women in UPLIFT are so supportive and inspiring! Dominique is both a gifted teacher and a coach. I look forward to the next class starting in January 2017!”

-Julia

“My experience with UPLIFT was challenging but exceptionally rewarding…and tons of fun! I’ve always been far more comfortable with activities like running, so to commit to really focusing on strength activities is not my natural inclination. I am so glad that I signed up and completed the program… I personally saw substantial increases in strength and moreover in my confidence with getting out of my comfort zone. I really enjoyed getting to know such a great group of ladies and getting to see everyone be SO successful on the final max day! Dominique has a wealth of knowledge and I really appreciated the opportunity to learn some new movements and gain different perspective from her. In addition, she is an absolutely amazing and inspiring coach! I found that I was capable of far more than I thought.”
