Fitness Transform

I have one of those birthdays that ends with a zero coming up and I really want to get into better shape before I get there so I was looking for a comprehensive fitness program. I’m so happy I found Mikki Reilly and Fitness Transform! I signed up for a small group class less than a month ago and I can already see and feel the difference. When I was doing my research I read her book «Your Primal Body,» and I knew this was the program that would help me achieve my goals. Mikki has developed a comprehensive 5-​step program that covers all aspects of how to get fit and healthy and stay that way. I love the small group class I’m in and I look forward to going. I can’t remember the last time I felt this way about working out!

After sitting on the sidelines for a year recovering from a torn rotator cuff and knee surgery, I had experienced weight gain and muscle weakness. I needed a sensible workout program together with dietary counseling. Fitness Transform was exactly what I was seeking… an hour long routine, three times a week, that works every part of the body without the high impact stress on my joints. Mikki Reilly understands my goals, my strengths and weakness, and holds me accountable to reach them in positive approach. Within 60 days from starting her program, the 20 pound weight gained during the surgery recovery period was gone and my strength returned over time. If you have the discipline to to follow the dietary knowledge shared in her complementary book «Your Primal Body – the Paleo Way to Living Lean, Fit, and Healthy at Any Age», you will also realized similar results of being clear minded, fit, no inflammation and restoring your joints to pain free movements. Joining Fitness Transform is clearly one of the best fitness choices I’ve ever made.

Mikki is not for the faint of heart. But if you want a serious workout with a true fitness and nutrition professional then she is the one. I have worked with several different trainers and gyms and Mikki is a cut above the rest. The workouts are efficient and effective and keep me coming back.

After working out doing cardio for over 10 years, I was frustrated that I was no longer seeing any changes in my body or feel any stronger. I read about a special that was being offered by fitness transform and decided I would give it a try. I must admit, in the beginning, I didn’t love it… everyone seemed to be much stronger than me, they could all hold a 2 minute plank… mY plank on day one was 20 seconds .it was awful, Mikki had just the right touch to encourage me, but also space to let me figure out that I could do this… and after12 weeks she was right, I can do a 2 minute plank, I never thought this would happen. I still have more work to do, but would highly recommend Mikki and Fitness Transform, it’s been a great experience for me!

Simply the best!
I was one step away from knee replacement surgery when I began working with Mikki. Through a comprehensive program of diet, foam rolling, stretching, and functional fitness training, I’m a new woman. The knee pain is gone and I feel better than I have in 20 years. I initially went to see if I anything could be done about my arthritic knees, but now I’m on to bigger and better things. Mikki is professional, encouraging, and extremely knowledgeable about how the human body works. Her program is not easy, but if you are committed to achieving a higher level of overall health, fitness, and well-​being, this is the place to go!

Mikki is one of the best RKC Kettlebell instructors in California. Her gym is spotless, with the best gear. She can get you ready for anything– getting in better shape, strength training, fitness tests, tough mudder, you name it. She will get you ready.

Fitness Transform is about life transformation and that is exactly what I wanted! I have been group training with Mikki Reilly and have already begun the transformation process. My goals were to lose weight, reduce inflammation, and learn to eat to stay lean, strong and healthy and to see and feel my muscles again. In only 4 weeks I have already seen amazing results in all these areas.
Mikki has a wonderful way of explaining how and why paleo works that is easy to understand and her passion for this shows! Through her education and training time I now understand what and how to eat for health, longevity, losing weight and staying lean. I also have a greater understanding of how to exercise to meet my goals.
As a former athlete, trainer and exercise fitness educator, I wanted someone who was comprehensive, professional and understood injury rehab. I appreciate Mikki’s attention and concern for rehabilitation when needed. She is thorough and supports each member with his or her goals. She pushes me to be my best and to stay strong and committed. I am learning how to move with my whole body functionally. Fitness and working out have changed since I started many years ago. I had heard about functional training but did not know how to go about it safely. Mikki really understands how the body moves and continually gives feedback to support correct technique, how to stay safe and achieve maximum success!
If you are looking for lifelong change, fitness Transform is the place!

I am currently a trainer at Fitness Transform, working and learning from Mikki Reilly.
Prior to joining the Fitness Transform team, I have been lifting weights and training at the UCSB gym for 5 years since my freshmen year. Recently in June 2014, I have started doing high intensity interval & weight circuit training and noticed my mobility and strength are limited due to a lack of foundation in proper forms.
Working with Mikki Reilly continues to expand my depth and understanding of basic movements, proper forms, and engagement of various muscle groups to increase my mobility and strength in my personal interval circuit training.
With over 20 years of experiences, Mikki has a very strong understanding of muscle movements, proper stretches and nutrition guidelines to help individuals reach their fitness and health goals.

I have done every type of program and exercise and was looking for a different experience that would give me lasting results. Mikki is the most knowledgeable fitness expert I have met. She incorporates nutrition, fitness goals and gets to know what «you» need to assist in your transformation. I was looking for balance, strength, increased overall fitness and a nutrition plan in which I didn’t feel like I needed to starve myself. I have received all of this and results all the way around in a short period of time. She is intuitive and her advice is always right on, including supplements. This is as good as it gets if you are committed in investing in long term health and wellness.

It was slow getting started, partially because I hadn’t had any exercise since my neck injury 9 months prior and partially because I wasn’t fully committed. And I had no intent on fully committing! Then I started noticing some definition in my legs, and Mikki kept helpfully encouraging me! She has been amazing! Just the right amount of push so that I keep coming back, and she pays close attention so that I don’t re-​injure my neck. I’m not one of those that naturally loves working out, however I am finding I really look forward to my sessions with Mikki AND I even climb the stairs at City College on some of the other days. My clothes fit me better, my energy level is higher and I just feel sexier!
