I was hesitant to work out with a trainer because I felt like I needed to be in shape to even begin. But Annika met me where I was—with zero judgment—and has built workouts tailored to me and my goals. In less than a year, she has helped transform my body, and I am stronger than ever.

I'm a skier, but I had a body built for the bunny slope. When burly friends invited me on a big backcountry trip, I almost said no—afraid I'd slow them down. Annika met me where I was at—with my age, with my injuries—and built a workout plan just for me, with a day-by-day breakdown to get me ready. Her patience, attention, kindness, and expertise were priceless. On the ski trip, I kept up with the gnarly shredders! And, as a bonus, this year, I've needed to buy a belt to hold up my ski pants!

I love working with Annika. She pushes me to lift more, do exercises I wouldn’t usually do, and has taught me new exercises. Annika feels like a friend which makes working out way more fun. She is warm, personable, and laid back, and also knowledgable and very committed to helping her clients reach their strength and workout goals. She is well-liked and respected by others in the gym and always learning more herself.

While I’ve always found joy in being active, whether with running, cycling, or group HIIT classes, I’ve never known how to approach strength training. After meeting with Annika to discuss my long-term goals in all things fitness, she created a workout plan that was perfectly crafted to fit me while promoting the balance between life and fitness that I had hoped for. Not only am I feeling stronger because of a well-rounded program, I also feel encouraged and hopeful thanks to Annika’s constant positive feedback when I begin to question progress or outcome. I trust Annika whole-heartedly—I genuinely feel that she wants to see me succeed and can’t imagine myself working with anyone else!

Having recently moved from Cherry Creek to Lone Tree, I can tell you what I miss the most is working out with Annika at the Wash Park Rec Center.  Annika is, in my opinion, the absolute best.  Not only does she make your workout fun and effective, she knows how to challenge and push you at a level that speaks to your goals and abilities.  Never in all my years of working out did I develop muscle tone that I could say I was really proud of!  I would never have attempted on my own what she encouraged and knew that I could do.  I always left our workouts feeling stronger and proud of myself.

Having never been a particularly athletic person, I was unsure where to even start with my weight lifting journey. I knew that I wanted to develop a routine that I could do at home and I just wanted something sustainable. Annika has been very supportive every step of the way! She is great at building long term strength goals and tailoring exercises to get you there over time. Annika is also just a fun person to be around and it makes our sessions really enjoyable! I never thought I would enjoy working out as much as I do now!! Highly recommend!

I just wanted to say THANK YOU so much for working with me on this first round! I was always so nervous to start working with a personal trainer but you made everything so approachable and it was so invaluable to be able to check in every week and customize things based on how I was feeling. I’m lifting more than I previously thought I was capable of and never thought I’d be comfortable enough to use the squat rack, so thank you so so much for encouraging me! I feel so good and I’m so happy with the results. And the structure of the program you designed is exactly what I needed! 💖
