Testimonials

Over the years I've been a member of countless fitness centers in the Pasadena area. I've finally found the perfect match. I've been with Carina's semi-personal training program for the past two years. I love it! Carina's semi-personal training is personal, affordable and effective. If you miss a session, you hear about it the next time you come in. I've found that when Carina and the rest of the class are counting on you to be there, you don't want to let them down. I don't miss many workouts! Her style is compassionate and personal, but focused on the task at hand... getting you into shape. I recommend Carina, the Pro Fitness Network and all of the various services they provide to everyone I know!

At age 50 I was faced with debilitating back pain from an injury, complicated by years of being overweight and out of shape. I started at Pro Fitness after reading about owner Carina Weston's recovery from a serious neck injury. Within weeks the pain was gone and now I've lost 50 lbs. I'm in the best shape of my life. Carina's energy and warm cheerfulness are infectious and make working out truly fun. The small group setting is very welcoming and supportive and allows her to give personal attention to everyone while charging a fraction of the cost of one to one training. The setting is clean and conveniently located in Pasadena. The equipment is professional and well maintained. There is a wide array of fitness services provided by Carina's hand picked associates, including massage, Pilates, acupuncture, reflexology and nutritional counseling. Pro Fitness Network is the real deal, without the blasting music and hype. Thank you, Carina!"

"Carina has done more for me than help me to get my body back into shape.  As an example she's inspired me to stay strong, live my dreams and my truth, do my best, and most importantly to respect and take care of myself.  She has done more for me than I had ever hoped from a personal trainer.  Carina has quite an infectious spirit, and for that, I am thankful.  For the last 2 years, I've attended our energy workouts, for more than mere physical gratification, but for the good energy!!

In just two months of doing the Energy Workout at Pro Fitness Network, I can see remarkable changes in my strength and muscle tone.  I also feel so much better and have more energy than I did before.  I love the supportive environment and I feel that I am in very professional, capable hands with Carina.

Over the past 25 years I have been in more exercise programs in more cities (and 3 countries) than I care to remember. I have never felt stronger or more muscle toned than I do now, after a year with Carina. Maybe even more importantly I have never had as much fun, support or encouragement than I have at present with Carina and my fellow workout colleagues. As I prepare to move again I wonder how will I ever replace Pro Fitness Network.

I’m 48 years old and never felt at home in a gym. Three painful years after an injury, I knew I needed to lose weight and strengthen my lower-back. But exercise was too scary. My muscles got weaker and weaker. Finally, I tried one trainer, then another.  My back went out with both. Desperate, I went to Carina to see if she could help. After she told me about her injury and saw how strong she is, I trusted her to know what was safe, and what wasn’t.  I’ve strength-trained with Carina three times a week, for six months, without re-injuring my back. I’m in much better shape, stronger and have more energy than I’ve had in years. For the first time in my life, when I don’t go to the gym, I miss the exercise and the atmosphere---it’s amazing. It’s like getting together with friends.

P.S. Now, I go to Pro Fitness five times a week! I work with the nutritionist, Julia, and use the Bodybugg to be more aware of my eating habits. I get massages from Lydia.
And I do Pilates with Maria

I have been working out with Carina for 5 1/2 years and she has become a "necessity" for me. Not only does she work with you to improve your well-being, health, and happiness, but she has become a great support group for me individually. There are those days where it is difficult to start the "motor running"; but once you get to the studio and see and hearing Carina's smiling face and voice, you are motivated to put forth the effort to improve yourself. The concept of three-on-one working out is certainly a money-saver; but since there are others working out with you, you develop new friendships and make working out "fun". One might even consider exercising at Pro Fitness as a therapy session. It is especially great to see Carina advancing from a sole personal trainer to developing a mini-business opportunity; that is to say, not only does she offer personal training but she has provided the wonderful atmosphere of connecting you to massage therapists, a Reflexologist, an Acupuncturist, other Personal Trainers, and Pilates instructors. Carina Weston has my vote for 5++ stars! She has helped me, at least, to slow down the aging process physically and mentally. Thank you, Carina, for all that you give to me to support me in my body and soul.

I have been at Pro Fitness for over a year and half never felt better, stronger and younger.  I especially like working out where I feel comfortable with the other people; we usually have no more than four or five fun people who are all working on an individualized regime.
My doctor was the first person to mention working out in a gym when she noticed that my bone density was not what she expected.  I went on her recommendation and now I feel stronger and really look forward to the camaraderie and personalized program twice a week.  Carina is very knowledgeable and, even though she expects a lot from us, we really go at the pace that is most comfortable for each of us.

I have been working out with Carina at Pro-Fitness for the last 4 ½ years.  I started because I wanted to do more intense weight workouts, and just didn't have enough self-motivation to do it on my own.  I could tell the difference in my body within months!  I am much stronger now, with low body fat and great muscle tone.  The environment at Pro-Fitness is energizing and makes the workout more fun.  The group supports and challenges one another.  I have done several triathlons in the last year, taking on this new challenge at the age of 56.  My ability to do this is a tribute to Carina and the fitness level I have achieved with her help.
