KRISTIN FROST COMMENTS FROM SOLACE RETREAT

Kristen Frost was our 20th guest since soma has launched as an LLC in 2009 and here is what she had to say about her experience:

“Scott-

Transformed? Highly Satisfied?  ABSOLUTELY!!!

I know that you know I had a wonderful time in your care.  I just had a video call with my 2 best friends today to catch up (1 lives in Boise, the other in CT) and they want to do a retreat, they loved what I shared.  Needless to say you may never get rid of me.

OK-so my favorite moment?  Though quite painful, I still giggle out loud when I recall laughing uncontrollably while you grinded my PSOAS muscle…..Laughing is so central to my being but I don’t let it out quite like that anymore–THANK YOU!!  I needed to remember how good that feels.

You are phenomenal and I thank you for making my retreat beyond perfect.

LOVE and HUGS,

Kristin”

BRENDA PAPIERNIK, SKINNY JEANS BOOTCAMP, BUTTERFLY BEACH, MONTECITO

Moving to California from the East coast made a huge impression on me spiritually and physically. Seeing the beautiful
 landscape of the West Coast inspired me to be active and outdoors as much as possible. It truly became my lifestyle.
 I’d like to bring this same inspiration to my clients. Not only am I helping people achieve good health, I am also getting
them to appreciate and utilize the nature and beauty around them. My workouts are driven by the outdoors, from beach
workouts to mountain hiking to ocean surfing/swimming. I train outdoors with little or no equipment. Some of my best
workouts focus on exercises that use only the resistance offered by your own body weight.

On a personal level, I enjoy hiking, skiing, beach running, boxing, aerobic exercises, yoga and meditation. These
activities help me maintain balance in my life, which I think is a very important aspect of healthy living. Santa Barbara
is the perfect environment to live a healthy lifestyle, and I help my clients achieve this. With so many options for
outdoor activity, my programs can either enhance some one’s gym workouts or provide a good alternative for those
unmotivated to go to the gym. This environment allows me to keep it fresh and interesting for my clients.

My passion is helping people gain strength and endurance, lose weight, gain energy, and feel great. I love knowing I help
 people feel better about themselves in achieving their health goals. I enjoy working with people of all ages and fitness
levels, encouraging, motivating, and inspiring them to achieve their maximum fitness potential. I believe that anyone can
reach their fitness goals by working hard. I have patience, determination, and guidance as clients progress to a healthy
 body and mind.

My desire is to help others become fit and healthy as a means to truly living life to its fullest. My philosophy about fitness
is that any type of exercises can and will tap into the body’s wisdom and connect the mind, body and spirit. I believe
the trainer/client relationship is “team work” and as a team we will reach the client’s goal. I enjoy the one-on-one
relationship that is built between the trainer and the client and I thrive on the direct impact that I have on their health
 and lives.

The appeal of boot camp is that clients have a chance to work out in a team environment and meet others with like-minded
fitness goals. I am eager to get started with boot camp and becoming a motivated and inspirational addition to this industry.
