Client Testimonials
-Adam Wasson, UCLA
Professor
He appeared on the "Faking It" TV show on the Learning Channel.
“After a serious lower back surgery in 2001, I hadn’t
worked out in almost two years. I had to transform into a Chippendale
dancer in less than 4 weeks,” says Wasson. “Obviously, my
priority was not to re-injure myself or compromise myback in any way.
I didn’t want to shortchange balanced fitness for appearance.
To shape and tone a body correctly, especially with an eye towards injury
prevention and avoiding joint degeneration, requires a level of education
way beyond most fitness trainers. JJ showed me how to gain muscle while
simultaneously losing fat, all the while protecting and strengthening
my back. After several weeks of seriously intense training on her cardio,
weight lifting and diet program, I not only looked like a Chippendale,
I felt like one.”
Wasson gained 10 pounds of solid muscle in his chest and shoulders, lost
all the fat around his stomach, and had the physical ability to endure
4-hour long dance training."
-Kate Matthews, Merrill Lynch
"Since I started working with INVISIBLE FITNESS, I have lost 50 pounds.
They have been a godsend. I work out on a regular basis and feel 100%
healthier and better about myself than I have in the last 20 years. They
have instilled in me a thorough appreciation of being fit and therefore
healthy which I will be able to use for the rest of my life."
-Jane St John, REMAX
"The private, personalized sessions in my own home are wonderful.
Thanks to INVISIBLE FITNESS, I'll be a healthier, fitter 54-year-old!
The trainers are very knowledgeable and I am highly impressed with them.
I am feeling better and stronger then I have in a long time. INVISIBLE
FITNESS trainers have an impressive amount of knowledge and use impeccable
form and technique that ensures my safety as I am working hard to be in
better shape!"
-John O’Connor, O’Connor

"I am tremendously impressed with the exceptional
level of proficiency and knowledge in my trainers from INVISIBLE FITNESS.
Their approach to avoid injury first, by focusing on building a solid
foundation of fitness in specific areas that are a problem for me is truly
wise. I have discovered subtle aspects of posture and motion that are
changing me, making me more aware and better able to develop in a wise
and healthy way. I recommend INVISIBLE FITNESS and would trust anyone
JJ hires to be an INVISIBLE FITNESS trainer/teacher will be at a similar
high professional level."
Carli Vandervort, REMAX
In the past four years I have worked with 3 different
personal trainers, and INVISIBLE FITNESS definitely is in a higher class
than the norm. JJ's wealth of knowledge about how my body is affected
by the way in which I do each exercise is just incredible.
We are working on maintaining strength and stamina and have added developing
body balance. If you want top quality for your body I would highly
recommend trying INVISIBLE FITNESS."
Casey Miller, WD Partners
“When looking for a personal trainer, I was
sort of leery about working out in my home. I thought "How
good of a workout could I possibly get at home?" and "How disciplined
will I actually be working out at home?" My questions were
answered as soon as J.J. trained me for my first workout. Boy was
I wrong! I didn't know how great of a workout I could get right
in my living room! And it's so convenient, right after my workout,
I just go upstairs, get a shower and get ready for work! Much better
than going to a gym, taking a bag full of clothes/workout gear to and
from my car. Last time I did that, the workout bag lived in my car.
Thanks to Invisible Fitness, I get a workout that's convenient.”
Anita Kronowitz, The Eloquent Elephant
“I feel great...I know my strength has increased, my body is
shrinking! I've lost almost 25 pounds and I find it miraculous
that I'm not on a fad diet or taking pills or supplements...I'm wearing
clothes I probably haven't been able to wear for a long long time!”
Diana Drake, Drakes Carpet & Upholstery
“It took me 8 years to put on 60 unwanted pounds, and though I know
I’ll never be a size 4 again, at 40 years old, I would love to be
a size 10. After just 8 weeks, I lost 10 pounds, 7.25 inches, and
3.5% body fat. I eat better, I feel better, I sleep better, and
I am clearer of mind and more focused. JJ and her staff really care
and they are fun. Two things attracted me to JJ over the other trainers
I know, first and foremost is that she has a genuine concern about my
personal well being. My blood pressure is down and my resting heart
rate dropped 25 points! I can now walk and talk at the same time.
I know this doesn’t sound like much to most people, but it is huge
to me. Heart disease and diabetes runs in my family, so I have been
very concerned as I approached the big 4 - 0 and was ready to make changes
in my life style. The second thing that attracted me to JJ, and
something that is very important to me, is that JJ comes from a place
of science. I know that half the stuff you read and hear in the
media, or in your favorite magazines is either all BS, very out of date,
or just not healthy. Technology has advanced in more than just the
communications and computing world. We know more about the body
and how things work today than ever before and the science just keeps
getting better. JJ makes it her business to know the science; why
things do what they do and how that will physiologically change and affect
you. She educates herself constantly on the cutting edge, latest
information, and then she shares it with me, so I am confident that I
am getting the absolute best possible training available. Thank
you JJ, from the bottom of my scale!”
Deborah Genovesi,
West Coast Producer DWJ TV
“I just had to tell you how thrilled I am with my progress since
meeting you JJ! Last night I went shopping for new work out clothes
and I was amazed with the changes I see in my body—it was like another
person looking back at me from the mirror. The real me is starting to
emerge! I’m wearing trendy, cute clothing I haven’t
been comfortable wearing in years. I have lost 20 lbs so far and
dropped several sizes, going from an uncomfortable size 14 to an 8 or
10 and I know I will achieve my 40 lb weight loss goal. My neck
and back problems are improving and I notice that I truly want to eat
well and keep up on my exercise now. My whole lifestyle has changed for
the better all due to you and your very capable and knowledgeable trainers.
What most impresses me about your company is the way you personalize the
program for each person. I've worked with trainers before and the experience
this time has been totally unlike those in my past. FINALLY, someone understands
how to train me without causing injury! You guys really “get it.”
Kudos to you and your wonderful team!”
John and Carolyn Loera- Kaiser Permanente
“One of the most important things in your lifetime is caring for
your child. We got in contact with Invisible Fitness to help our 13 year
old son become fit for his football season. Dominic had a great time working
with JJ. Not only did she point him in the right direction about eating
healthy foods but she did great workouts with him to develop his muscles
all the while making sure that every step he took with his workout was
safe and healthy. It’s great to see somebody like JJ truly care
for the well being of your child. JJ’s workouts were phenomenal,
she was able to communicate well with our young teen and develop great
results. As a parent it is truly awesome to see the end result. We now
how a strong healthy child that excels on the football field because of
his increased speed, strength and self confidence, all a result
from his training with Invisible Fitness.”
Ken Golovko, WD Partners
“Even with only having been utilizing your services as a personal
trainer for three weeks now, I can't tell you how much happier I am to
be exercising at home with very little equipment as opposed to traveling
to a gym for a workout. By remaining at home it is helping Casey
and me focus on changing our lifestyle instead of just working
out. As for the workout, I find that I can concentrate much better
on what I'm doing at home, and ideally have a more efficient workout that
way. In the 45 minutes that I see you in the morning I know that
I'm going to be pushing myself almost has hard as you encourage me.
In conclusion, for me the benefits of staying home to exercise are convenience,
the big picture of lifestyle change, avoiding a meat market atmosphere,
and (this must be stressed again) convenience.
Thanks for helping me head back in the direction I've been yearning”
June Harvey, Western Medical Management
“Where do I start? Miracles happen! Since October,
I have lost close to 30 pounds and have regained core strength that has
been missing for 20 years!! I have three other family members working
with Invisible Fitness (and want a fourth one to start soon), and it has
been a true intervention for each one. We are all planning to run
a 5K race together in a week, something that we never dreamed possible.
The high level of expertise that Invisible Fitness brings to the training
process makes the difference between ineffective efforts and tangible,
real results! All our thanks to JJ and Invisible Fitness!!”
Deborah Downey Thomas, Actress
“Invisible fitness is a Godsend for me. I have
had Multiple Sclerosis for 15 years and have functioned fairly well in
spite of needing to use a cane from time to time.(Female Cabaret Artist
of the Year for 2003 in Los Angeles) The trainers on staff
with Invisible Fitness are amazing...they are bright ,informed and truly
enthusiastic. I have used several of Invisible Fitness's trainers the
last couple years and they all are prompt and professional and really
care about me and encourage me and pull me up when I'm feeling discouraged.
Attitude is everything when it comes to my healing and Invisible Fitness
as a company makes that their number one priority and it has totally
transformed me. I see my trainer every week two or three times and I am
actually excited to workout...that right there is some kind of miracle
!
I don't consider this service a luxury (even though I'm treated like a
Queen) for me it's a necessity! It keeps on my feet
and singing for my 90 minute one woman shows...”
Pine Smith,
Business Consultant
“I ran a race against my five-year-old son yesterday,
it was hard to run because we were both laughing so much. Six months
ago I was so lethargic, and in so much pain from a lower back injury,
I would've never challenged my boy to a race. In six months, Invisible
Fitness has effected a miracle in my life. The only pain I
feel now is muscle soreness after one of IF's great, customized workouts.
Thank You Invisible Fitness!”
Jeanne Anton/ St Michael’s
parishioner in Greensburg PA talking about Inspiration to Realization
“Dear J.J., Thanks so much for the book and for
thinking about me. I wasted no time reading chapter 4 first-and wow! Did
it ever hit home- and I needed that. Whoever thought that beautiful young
“girl” from St. Michaels’s would be giving an 80 year
old lady like me “food for thought”? In fact, I read
almost the entire book and learned so much about things I never gave much
thought to. I’m going to share it with my friends. I
promise to follow your advice-thanks for waking me up!
John Oden /Healthcare Executive
“Investing in your work-out with Invisible Fitness is a rational
way of removing excuses. For me, they worked around shoulder bursitis
and an old knee injury; and I know those joints are surrounded and supported
by better muscle than before. Obviously they makes the excuse of not liking
the gym go away; do not be deceived by J.J.’s bungee cords and light
weights. Using gravity and your own body, she can give you a work-out
that will push your muscles to their limit.”
Mark Dizik / Business Manager in Cancer Research
“When I hired JJ and Invisible Fitness, I had two goals in mind,
the toning up of my body, and my getting back into a 32 inch pair of tuxedo
pants from a 34 plus inch waist (I had a wedding date to meet 6 months
away). One of J.J.’s challenges was working with someone that had
had back surgery and was prone to back soreness. She has managed to successfully
challenge me into realizing my goals. Using hand and leg weights as well
as some bungee cords, I have re-developed muscles that I long ago lost.
Her goal-setting cardiovascular guidance helped me achieve the weight
loss necessary to fit into my tuxedo, all this in a manner that was both
healthy and one that I can live with for the rest of my life. The convenience
of a home visit makes it impossible to find an excuse not to work on a
healthier lifestyle.”

When my husband told me to go out and buy some sexy lingerie, I knew that
my training with Invisible Fitness was really paying off. After
two pregnancies, I had about 20 pounds to loose and my lower abs were
just not working. With J.J.'s program of keeping track of diet,
lots of cardio, and of course, the expert training sessions, I have gone
down two sizes, my abs are now working, and I feel transformed. In
the words of my husband when I put on a new smaller outfit for the first
time, "J.J. is really sculpting you!" I worked with J.J.
and two of her trainers and they were all terrific. Always professional,
up to date on the latest training methods, and thoughtful about my particular
situation. J.J. and her crew make the training fun, varied, and
personalized to my needs; best of all, they produce results. Invisible
Fitness is the best.
Vanessa Coriat
I found J.J over the Internet.
I was so disappointed and skeptical about trainers in
the US after 5 years because I had used 7 or 8 of them. But my health
condition needed an urgent intervention. Through a Goggle search, we had
been connected. I looked up her website before she sent me her link and
I liked her "Invisible Fitness" approach, but what intrigued
me the most was her no-nonsense-attitude when I talked with her about
an hour later: I gave her a brief description of my problems and physical
limits and she kind of said: problems? What problems? Let's check it out
and give it a try!I told her of my former experiences with people who
said the same thing and she asked me to check out her method and then
I could decide my next step.
After all my experiences, I thought that trainers didn't
learn the physiology of the body at all. Most of them seem to start as
starving students that spent so much time in a gym that then decided to
get some money from it but had no real information. They knew just enough
to pass the trainer's tests‚ and get their certificate.They seemed
to act as though the human body wasn't a complex organic system but as
a bunch of muscles and bones that could flex and relax. And there was
no reason why everybody wouldn't train the same way as they did! Forget
about differences in metabolism, past accidents, psychological limitations
and health issues: if the outside looks good the inside was simply put--rusted!
Well, my outside looked normal‚. --A normal‚ chubby
girl.
I was almost 40+ lbs overweight, with a recent past of binging/bulimia,
an ongoing anxiety caused by a series of stressful life-events, two lung
surgeries, a cardiac arrest due to my under-nurtured body and a car accident
that virtually paralyzed the whole right side of my body. Aside from the
chronic dislocation of my right shoulder and a non-stop pain on my right
hip.
Then I met J.J
I was between awed and relieved: she's so passionate about her stuff,
with the models of the joints and the whole perspective of the human body
that was familiar to me. She knew what she was talking about and it seemed
like if she has been through the same or worst conditions than mine without
needing to experience them herself.
I asked the tricky questions that I learned to ask trainers that said
they knew it all and she not only got my trick, her humility and knowledge
blew me away. I was hooked and I couldn't wait for the first day.
30 sessions later I didn‚t feel the same person anymore.
I may have looked the same, I may have more or less the same physical
restraints but I wasn't "there".
I think that what happened was that J.J. showed me that there was always
a way to treat, train, and work out my body, no matter how limited my
range of movement, how poor my resistance and heart capacity or my mood--
there is a way to go around those temporary conditions and work them out.
I learned that whining was not a way out like with other trainers,
but a way to find other routes to get to the same result.
Because of my poor health condition I wasn't able to use weights or even
bands and she always made up for that lack. She always had a way to get
the targeted muscles and joints working, be it with my own body weight
or books or even different positions and isometric movements.Her enthusiasm
for what she does and what she believes in can be contagious: sometimes
I tried to 'avoid' more exercises and repetitions but instead I ended
up pushing myself for the extra mile and feeling so awesome and ready
to do it again next time. As long as the pain I was feeling didn't come
from my injuries but from work everything was fine
And I loved it
Through the magic of the Internet I finally found
a trainer that saw me as a whole system, not just a client that
paid for her counting my flexes and making me jump up and down a park
bench like a craze to get results‚ and tire me faster.
J.J. paid attention to my health.
She's without a doubt is a professional but her personal touch is what
makes it all work: she "feels" you, she connects with you and
your lifestyle and from her experience, her knowledge and her vision she
will do her best to get you where she wants you to be: in the best shape
of your life.
Want to know the best part?
I realize now, when I write this note, that her best reward is that you
get there on your own, she's the teacher but you are the one who has to
make it. She'll be there for you -be sure of that- but you are the one
who will make it happen.
Her disposition to help its more than a 'job,' it's a commitment to show
you that fitness and health is a choice and a lifestyle that goes beyond
any number of sessions a week/month with her.
It's about you and your dedication to yourself. She will give you the
means but it's up to you to use them
She gave me several professional referrals, one in particular, Jacques
Taylor from Bioconstructs, which got me where I am now:
3 months after my last training session with J.J. I dropped 10+
lbs, and remembering her teachings and words I can walk
6 miles non-stop, I can climb the Santa Monica steps 2 times
going to 3 in a row with no dire consequences, I can even jog 15 minutes
going to 25 without noticing a difference: I can get up to 165 hr for
20 minutes straight without feeling that I‚m going to have a heart
attack or loosing my breath and I can lift 8 lbs free weights for arm
exercises.
And so far, no hernias, no burn-out exercise fed-up stage.
I do have my backlashes but they are not the dead end I thought they were
before J.J.
Now all I need is a check-up or a change in my exercises to avoid getting
bored or plateauing and keep on my way to health.
Thank you J.J. , Vanessa Coriat
