When I first called you guys last March looking for a trainer I had no idea
what I was getting myself into. All I knew was that I had let myself go for
a couple of years, hated “regular” gyms and this sounded like a better
option. I had never actually done any sort of regimented working out, and as
you will probably recall Nicki, I was scared. You oh so wisely paired me up
with Angela and here I am almost 7 months later, skinny as I’ve been in 20
years and stronger and more fit than I’ve probably ever been. Thanks for
making a 40+ year old proud of herself again. And a special thanks to Angela
for kicking my butt a few times a week. I love it!

My journey with Natalie Taylor began when my seven year old patted my tummy and told me I was blubbery. Ouch! My goal when I met with Natalie was to get in shape. She developed my program based on my fitness level at that time. I always felt encouraged and I found that I really liked learning how to use my body correctly. I have also gained strength, while learning proper form, so that I can do day to day tasks without injury. I was able to help my husband lift our big gas bar-be-cue off the deck, it was easy and I didn’t get hurt. When I do yard work I don’t suffer the usual aches and pains of the past. I no longer wake up each morning feeling sore and stiff. I have never felt better in my forties! I cannot say enough about the great experience I have had working out at CrossFit NorCal with Natalie! I encourage anyone who wants to really get in shape to contact her today. What are you waiting for?

In an attempt to slow and possibly, to some extent, even reverse the ravages of time to my aging body, and to hopefully improve my golf game, I put myself into the capable hands of Robb Wolf at NorCal Strength & Conditioning. After a relatively short time, I was happy to note an increase in both strength and flexibility to the point that distance, accuracy, consistency and endurance had all measurably improved. Now if I could only putt.

“I have achieved a level of agility, strength and speed I have never before experienced. Who knew that working out at 7 am could be so rewarding; I get to spend the rest of the day relishing the fact that I accomplished something amazing.”

“My strength has improved dramatically, allowing me to compete in multi-sport events with success. I wish I could have had this training in my younger competitive years.”

“Nearly one year ago, while on a hunting trip, I found that I was unable to walk uphill fifty yards without feeling as though I were going to have a heart attack. It hurt to breathe, I was dizzy, and I couldn’t catch my breath for a long length of time afterward. It truly scared me. At 30 years old, I was overweight, lethargic, and lacking motivation. With an active two year old son, I knew I had to make a healthy life change for him as well as myself. I had reached the proverbial breaking point. I had tried every fad diet that came around, the Cabbage Soup diet, Atkins, South Beach, and Weight Watchers. I had been a member of nearly every ordinary fitness club in town. Nothing worked.
“My trainers Robb, Nicki, and Greg, have literally saved my life. They’ve provided me with a training program that fit my needs then, and that continues to adjust and grow with my increasing strength, stamina, and power. They provided me with a nutrition plan that fit my lifestyle, was healthy and remains easy to follow. One year later they continue to encourage, motivate, and inspire me. Most importantly, they have instilled in me more self-confidence than I have ever experienced before. In the past few months, I have run a 10K race, a 5K race, hiked six miles up and down rough terrain, and shaved minutes off of my everyday workout performance times. There have been no other results like this. There is no other training such as this. It has become a permanent part of my new life, and my trainers have become my friends.”

“My training was absolutely instrumental in my healthy pregnancy and successful labor. Throughout my pregnancy, the trainers were very supportive and, as my body changed, they consistently tailored the workouts to fit my needs. Their knowledge, professionalism and challenging training kept me coming in four days a week right up to the end of my pregnancy. The benefits of the strength and endurance training were definitely felt during my labor and pushing stage. I had a long labor and when it came time to push, I had energy and confidence in my body’s ability to bring my nine-pound three-ounce baby boy into the world. Thank you!”

“I am a 48 year-old full time registered nurse and manage a 6 acre ranch with plenty of livestock to feed and clean up after. Staying in shape so that I can do all the activities that I enjoy has become a priority in my busy life. Running with my border collie, riding horses, bicycling the annual Wildflower Century, skiing, snow boarding and of course, stacking bales of hay for my horses are just a few of the activities that keep me sane. I already feel stronger and healthier than I have for a number of years despite maintaining what I mistakenly thought was a decent level of fitness! Thanks to Nikki, Greg and Rob for directing a quality fitness program that is fun, friendly and always a challenge. Speaking of challenges, the guys at my work won’t try to arm wrestle me any more… they are afraid of losing!”

“I feel my total body fitness, particularly trunk area, to be stronger and much more solid, and my recovery time from workouts and recreational activities to be much quicker.”
