I just wanted to say thank you very much for making the workshop fun and exciting this past two days. You guys were great, I learned so much and I definitely want to help out with your non-profit organization after I take my exam. I work part-time at a family homeless shelter as a social worker and i work with kids and parents that are out of shape, depressed and do no activity at all and one of my goals is to do an activity event maybe once or twice a week to keep them active. And also I know you said you don't have any workshops coming up in this area any time soon, but when you do please keep me in mind I would love to learn more.

Thanks again and have a great day!

I just wanted to drop you a quick note to once again say thank you for a great workshop! Having just recently completed the certification process, it was great to be able to hear and see the concepts brought to life with such depth and eloquent analogies! Coming from a corporate training background, I really did appreciate how you were able to check for understanding, engage the audience, and relate to us throughout the workshop! Thank you so much for a great experience, and please let me know if you will be coming back to the Connecticut area to deliver any other NASM workshops!"

Tanya Colucci has been an outstanding manager and friend to me over the last year. She has encouraged me to embark on a journey of constant growth in both my professional and personal lives. She aspires to be the best and has taught me to do so as well.  Throughout working with Tanya, she emphasized the importance of continuing education and an ongoing search for the latest and most influential research in the fitness industry.  This knowledge and drive has given me the tools to evolve into an educated, innovative, and top notch trainer.

In the last year, Tanya has made a huge impact on my life, not only in my career, but also in the areas of my personal growth.  When I first began working for Tanya, my life had little direction; I knew I was passionate about helping others through personal training, but wanted to be more than a trainer and felt stuck.  In my first month working with Tanya, she encouraged me to write down my 1 year, 5 year, and 10 year life goals, both personal and professional.  She then helped me identify my strengths and how to direct these strengths towards a career that would best suit my passions.  Through this process, I gained confidence in my abilities.  I was able to identify my strengths, improve on my weaknesses, and develop a better sense of who I am and what I want out of life.

A year later, I am now beginning my masters in dietetics and will be a practicing dietician in 3 years.  Probably the most important lesson I learned from Tanya is to “follow your passions and make sure you are doing what’s best for YOU and not what’s best for everyone around you; in doing this, life will fall into place.”  I can’t thank her enough for her guidance and her knowledge and am blessed to have her as a mentor.

Tanya is an enthusiastic, presenter who teaches and explains complex training principals so the audience can easily understand them and apply them to their personal training clients.  She comes prepared and ready to engage the audience.  Tanya’s program evaluations are always exceptional!  Tanya leads her staff with compassion.  She regularly challenges them to set goals and helps them see that nothing is an obstacle, rather a challenge to conquer.  Tanya works individually with each staff person to refine and develop their skills.  I highly recommend Tanya.

“I have had many managers in my career, but Tanya Colucci stands out above the rest for her ability to improve the people around her. Her comprehensive knowledge base combined with unflappable passion, unwavering drive and the utmost professionalism makes her an asset to any organization. Her strongest characteristic is her selflessness, as Tanya,  always gives her 100% of her energy and heart to her staff. I feel honored to call Tanya, my colleague and have had this opportunity to learn from her.”
