Testimonials

"Best investment I have ever made in myself. I found it is never to late to start even though I am in my mid-seventies. I wish I had had the wisdom to start years ago. I was lucky to find the very best Personal Trainer. Combine personable with personal and trainer and you have Madeleine Rive. There are personal trainers and then there is Madeleine. Her outstanding credentials don't tell the entire story. I know there are times I would not go to the gym if I knew Madeleine wasn't waiting for me. It's always easy to find excuses not to exercise but Madeleine will dispel them all. Axis Performance and Madeleine Rive make a perfect pair."
----Larry Colin

"Madeleine is a great trainer. I have been a triathlete for more than 20 years and a runner for more than 30. However, due to a series of leg injuries from 2005 until 2007, I was unable to race or even run for weeks at a time. After working out consistently with Madeleine, I am happily back running and competing. She has strengthened my neglected core muscles and the leg muscles I was injuring and re-injuring. I cannot recommend Madeleine more highly."
----Rich Cutler

"I went to Madeleine at the beginning of my training for a marathon. Madeleine not only put me on an appropriate training regime, she completely changed my way of thinking about fitness and nutrition. My workouts became more core-focused and concentrated on the essential muscles needed for running long distances. And my nutrition became focused on whole, healthy foods, rather than fads. I finished my first half-marathon last week - strong, fit and happy. That race was for Madeleine."
----Terry Ahearn

"I have been working with Madeleine Rive for a little less than a year. She has helped me to get stronger, fitter and has helped me lose 46 lbs during that period. I have successfully kept the weight off through her workouts and input. I have also increased my stamina and energy levels. It is a pleasure to work with Madeleine because of her interest, her knowledge and the enjoyment she brings to her work outs."
----Jill Jensen

"Madeleine is exceptional. She constructs exactly the type of workout you request and need. She leads me through a fantastic and rigorous workout while being extremely conscientious with respect to form, safety and my own education regarding my body. I recommend her highly."
----Matthew Barnard

"I started training with Madeleine to get back in shape after having a baby and have kept training with her well into my second pregnancy.  Her workouts are fun, really effective, and have been flexible through all of my physical changes."
----Molly Cutler

"Madeleine is a great trainer and I am lucky to have found her. Madeleine focuses me on training for my real world life outside of the gym, helping me on developing strength and flexibility where I need it. I started training with Madeleine two years ago to both improve my strength and address back problems from snowboarding crashes and I am happy to report being back pain free since shortly after starting to train with her. Madeleine is about the nicest person in the world but that doesn’t mean she takes it easy on you in the least, she is a slave driver once the session starts so plan on catching up on your gossip outside of the gym once you start working out with her. She has an impressive awareness of the body and training techniques and clearly takes learning about her clients needs very seriously and all that is reflected in the great results she delivers with you."
----Kaya Moore 

"I've been working with Madeleine for over three years, and she is an outstanding trainer. I have sent both my husband and mother to her as well... we are all completely different in body type, physical ability, and even fitness goals, but Madeleine tailors her workouts to our specific needs. As a former dancer, it is very easy for me to trick trainers... I find easy ways to do exercises without working hard. Not so with Madeleine! She makes sure you are doing moves correctly to maximize your results. She has improved my posture, my stamina, and strength. An amazing athlete and competitor in her own right, she has skills and knowledge most trainers don't. I can't say enough good things about her!"
---- Sara Elkin

"Madeleine takes the time to find out what your needs are and then tailors a program that meets your objectives.  For example, I am a tennis player and prone to certain types of stresses and strains on my body.  The program that she worked out for me, enables me to stay free of knee pain and other niggles and be fit enough to continue to enjoy 4-5 hours of tennis each week.  She also knows how far to push a person in order to ensure continued gains in strength and endurance."
----Subodh Toprani

"If I'm going to pay someone to train me, I have some requirements: 1) keep me working hard; 2) correct my technique; 3) be in better shape than me;4) live an active life. Madeleine has all these attributes which motivate and produce results for my wife and me. She is also knowledgable and fun to train with, which is why she's been our trainer for over three years."
