Transformation & Renewal – Personal Training by Cera

…just to let you all know where this went… I am now a member of Cera’s dance company (Damage Contol Dance Theater –
), teach at her studio (
), and yeah. You should train with her. See what can happen?

I’ve been training with Cera for about 6 months and I don’t think I could have kept it up with anyone else. She is absolutely amazing.
Her approach to training is wholistic and integrative. These are words that are often thrown around so let me explain. Cera understands that our relationship to our body happens in a cultural context. She also understands that our mind is often what’s in the way of our bodies changing in the way we would like them to. Her workouts are fun, varied and perfectly tailored to the areas I want to focus on. She takes the time to assess how things are going and adjusts her training as needed.
Her approach is the right balance of pushing and nurturing and she helps you set goals that are realistic and important to you.
Truly, if you are looking for an ally in helping you develop a healthier relationship to your body and to stick to a way of life that integrates exercise, Cera is the woman to help you do just that.

Cera is a great trainer and teacher. She has a deep understanding of the human body and how to make mine do what i want that must come from her life time of dance. Whenever I bring her a goal she finds me mutliple way to achivbe my goal. Also I love that she gives me steps and instructions that fit my life, the time I have avaiable, and things I enjoy doing.
I leave each season with Cera having learned something new and feeling more motivated to persue my goals.

I just started training with Cera, and so far, it’s been excellent. I found her ad in Craigslist and was immediately interested — she seems to hate the gym as much as I do. Her workouts are fun and interesting, involving dance, walking outside and working with free weights and balance balls instead of machines and treadmills.
Most importantly, Cera is non-​judgmental, caring, genuine and creative. As she says, she is a cheerleader, not a drill sergeant. I have a great time with her and actually look forward to working out, something I can’t say that I’ve ever done in the past. And while she is relaxed and flexible, she is also very focused, keeps track of time and is very organized. I highly recommend her, as long as she still has time for me!
UPDATE 10÷30÷08 — I’ve been working out 2x/​week with Cera, and have lost several inches all over, and my pants don’t fit anymore. Most importantly — I’m still motivated to keep going, and it hasn’t gotten boring!
UPDATE 11÷5÷09 — Still training with Cera over a year later. Still not boring. My body has changed — I notice muscles now where I never saw them before, and I feel great about how I look. I still have goals I want to reach, but by knowing the right pace for me Cera has helped me stick with the only exercise program I’ve ever committed to for this long.
