Basics and Beyond fitness & nutrition Bewertungen 21

We've been seeing Libby for over a year. We're her only clients that go as a couple. We have a good time and she scales the exercises accordingly. Apparently it's not for every couple, but we have a good time, and it's a bit cheaper than going separately. And my wife sees her a second time each week without me!

Libby is absolutely amazing! She always works with me and truly understands how to push me in the best way. I’m in the best shape I’ve ever been in thanks to her, and she’s made me actually look forward to working out — something I never thought I’d say! She’s so kind, knowledgeable, and motivating. Every session is personalized, challenging, and fun. I can’t recommend Libby enough — she’s the real deal!

I’ve been training weekly with Libby since New Years’ or thereabouts. Great experience in that she’s tailored the approach to my body type, age, and goals. We are doing a Jane Fonda style full-body workout, and I can testify to these results: my energy levels are up, my productivity at work rose, and my posture and balance have improved. I took a new height measurement during a physical and found that I’m even standing about half an inch taller than usual. Wow!

A few months ago, I decided to really focus on my health and get back on track. After a little bit of research, I decided I needed to go somewhere that could help me find a good routine from a previous injury I got in the gym 10 years ago. Working out has been difficult for the past few years but after a few months of going to basics and beyond, things have changed for me! I have been working out with Libby and she is amazing! Her workouts are challenging, fun, and different than anything I would do on my own. I feel like her workouts are worth every penny. Not only are the workouts great but she always makes me feel comfortable. It was very important for me to become confident and comfortable in the gym and working with Libby has helped me achieve that. I feel like I am also learning so much about working out and how to move your body to prevent injuries. Also, Dan is awesome! I was having a bit of back pain coming up (due to a previous injury) and he had been working with me to alleviate the pain. I feel like everyone at basics and beyond really cares about their clients. I am so happy to have found such a wonderful place to help me get my health back on track. Thank you Dan and Libby

I can’t say enough good things about Libby! She is thoughtful, engaging, knowledgeable, and very creative. The work outs are efficient and never boring. I have progressed a bunch and achieved my goals with her guidance. I always look forward to the sessions and can feel continuous improvement.

Korab is really great. He works with my schedule which fluctuates pretty often, and is always patient and personable when we meet. My major goals this spring are to be more consistent, especially now that my schedule with work has settled out. Korab and I have scheduled times for next week when I am back from out of town, and I’m very excited to get back into things.

He really is an exceptional trainer—I didn’t realize I didn’t know the best ways to stretch. He’s a credit to Dan’s organization.

Dan is also a star in this review—he checks in on the clients working with trainers, and ensures everyone is getting exactly what they need to lead a healthy, more fulfilling life. I am immeasurably appreciative of his efforts and can’t wait to see my progress over the next year.

Libby was exactly what I needed to get back into working out! She makes our workouts fun, yet challenging. When we started, we set goals and she catered the workouts to my fitness level. Each week she increases my challenge and notes how much I’ve progressed. Libby has made it fun and easy to make working out a priority!

I am so happy I found Dan, he is just the person I’ve needed to help get my health on track. He is very easy to talk to and has great tips. He meets you where you’re at and is all about sustainable changes over time. With him as a nutrition coach and Nathan as a personal trainer, I’ve lost 6 pounds in 3 weeks- without crazy fads or crash dieting. I feel so encouraged by Dan, his team, and the progress I’ve made already with their help and look forward to continue working with them towards my goals!

Worked out with Libby. She’s extremely patient, nice and helpful! She took notes when I was working out and paid attention to my form. She’s also very fun to talk with! Went to their 21st Ave S location.

I cannot recommend Basics and Beyond as a nutritional consultant and personal training service more. Dan and Nathan listened first, then formulated a plan to help me get control over my eating and my health without making me feel ashamed of being a larger person. In a little over 2 months I am down over 30 pounds. Candid conversations and prescribing personalized feedback have made all the difference in my success. I have and will recommend Dan and his team to anyone. Whether you want a little nutritional guidance or a complete food intake and fitness overhaul, like I needed, Dan can help.

I’ve been working out with Libby for the last 6 months, and she’s the best! I’ve seen major progress and feel like I’m in the best shape of my life!

I worked with Libby, and I felt like she really listened and provided everything I wanted to get out of our sessions. She was patient and took the time to teach proper form, which I believe is super-important. Their 21st Ave. location is very convenient.

I've had back pain for as long as I can remember and 6 months ago experienced an episode that ended with a hospital visit. Worked with multiple PTs in the following months but the pain and immobility never improved. After seeing multiple surgeons to explore surgery, I got connected with Dan as a final attempt to prevent surgery. Dan's approach was perfectly tailored to my situation and after a month of sessions, I am pain free for the first time in a long time. Thank you Dan!

Dan Difigio is the real-deal kind of health coach who has a special flavor for understanding the pain points for those who battle food addiction, sugar addiction, dieting wars, and emotional eating challenges. His wisdom is shared in a common sense lingo that connects with all, centers on validating pain points and offers relatable, understandable and do-able steps that elevate and empower others, not confuse and overwhelm. And it helps that he is a super nice guy! A++++

I contacted Dan as I was looking for a nutrition coach who could help me with consistency and commitment to healthy eating and keep me from getting off track.
My results from working with Dan exceeded my expectations and his advice significantly contributed to losing over 20 lbs. in the first month of working together.
Dan had been a great resource for ideas on how to maintain healthy eating in a consistent fashion. His advice is not cookie cutter but client focused and personalized.
What I enjoy most about working with Dan is that he is a steady partner when things get off track or get complicated.
I find Dan to be pleasant, practical, and easy to discuss issues with. He has provided plenty of encouragement and support.
I plan to continue working with Dan and strongly recommend working with him.

Basics and Beyond customized a workout for our small group at a reasonable price. We had an AWESOME time with our trainer Deb. The exercises in the circuit were challenging and fun, she had great music, and we all felt really comfortable with her modifications. Overall it was a huge success and so appreciated by the crew.

I participated in a 4 week pilot nutrition program.The weekly Zoom sessions were conveniently scheduled,and came with the support of information that was practical.
Dan was able to translate scientific jargon into easy to follow actionable steps for results.
As a physician,I highly recommend Dan's nutrition program for individuals who are committed to changing behavior to achieve a healthy lifestyle.

How do you begin to write a review, when the man about whom you are writing, cannot be captured by words alone? Dan DeFigio has been in my life, as my trainer, my therapist(physical and mental--sorry about that Dan), my nutritionist, my life coach, and, above all, my friend, for 28 years. Dan has taken my broken body(from numerous back surgeries), and strengthened me/conditioned me, to be able to have a life again. Free of pain. Dan has always found the solution to help me find the precise way to allow my body to heal and function; something no other trainer has ever been able to do. Over all of that however, is the compassion, kindness and brilliance of a gentle man with a huge heart. Thank you Dan. You have given me my life back. There are no words that will ever be able to express the gratitude that I feel for you.

Dan and his team at Basics and Beyond are outstanding. I have been a client for multiple years and the progress definitely exceeded my expectations. I could not have reached my goals without them. I am sure of it. The way they establish trust, communicate, and work with clients is what sets them apart.
