When I first came to Terese I was feeling like it was my last chance at working with a physical trainer because I felt like none of the trainers I’d worked with would listen to me. I was really frustrated with that. Working with Terese has been like a breath of fresh air. She listened to what I was saying. She assessed my body, paid attention to what my body was doing and how my structure was. I left feeling like angels were singing because I felt like finally someone was going to help me for what I needed and in the way my body needed it.
I remember crying after one of my sessions because I thought – "she hears me"! I could actually feel my abs work for the first time in my life which was really amazing. It’s been a lot of fun and I’ve come a long way. I look forward to my workouts and I plan on continuing for a long time!

Working out with Terese kept me fit and healthy! She was my trainer for 12 years until she moved away from the Las Vegas area. There was never a dull moment! Terese introduced me to resistance training and cardio exercise and they become a part of my weekly routine to get fit. After a hiking injury in 2002, I required post-rehabilitation and I was fortunate enough that Terese was able to develop an eight week program to help me stay safe as I returned to regular exercise. Knowing that she understood the nature of my injury and was educated in knowing how to best help me, I was confident that I would be back in shape in no time. The best part of all was that Terese was able to obtain insurance coverage for my post-rehab sessions.
Terese also helped me reach one of my goals to run a half marathon by coaching me through a run/walk program twice a week. Terese kept me motivated and encouraged through those workouts. I always looked forward to the fun atmosphere in her home gym! I am so glad that I have had Terese to help me age gracefully by staying fit and healthy!

I have been working with Terese since early 2020. In that time I have completely changed my view on food and have developed healthy eating habits and know what things to avoid when I'm looking at food labels. She has helped me lose weight and has taught me how to make healthy food choices. Every winter I would get sick at least once. But since working with Terese and following her recommendations to take Juice Plus+ I have gone 2 years without getting sick. I have no doubt that it is because of her guidance that I have made it through the pandemic without getting COVID or any other illness.
When I decided to have gastric sleeve surgery last year Terese supported me through the entire process. The pre-surgery diet I was given was full of harmful chemicals and additives so she helped me find healthy alternatives. Terese has continued to help me with the post-surgery diet to ensure that I am getting the appropriate nutrients and amount of protein. At my one year check up with the doctor he found that my blood levels and all my nutrient levels were excellent. With any type of bariatric surgery there is a major concern over people not getting the proper nutrition but with Terese's guidance I have not had any issues with that.
I am now off all my medications - my heartburn medication, my medication to fight excessive daytime sleepiness, and my thyroid medication. I no longer have sleep apnea and do not need to use a CPAP.
I cannot say enough about how much working with Terese has helped me! I feel better than I have in a very long time!

I first came to Terese Schelling for hydrostatic body fat testing at Fitness Wave. Three years ago, I was 5'10" and 249 lbs. I was desperate to make a change after years of spinning my wheels. I got serious about working out and eating right, and scientific about measuring my results. Like so many these days I purged nearly all carbs from my diet. It worked to a point. I lost 49 lbs. and got down to 16% body fat by the time Terese first measured my results. But I had hit a plateau. Future body fat test results showed, not only a decrease in fat, but also a loss of muscle. Terese suggested that my carbs were out of balance, so I decided to undergo her nutrition evaluation.
Before Terese recommended a plan that brought my macros into balance, I was cranky, tired, and struggling in my workouts. After taking in her nutritional recommendations and bumping up my carbs, I saw dramatic improvements. I continued to lose fat while holding on to muscle. My energy, concentration, and perfomance soared. My last measurement with Terese recorded my body fat at 11% and my lean mass way up.
Terese got me fantastic results without the starvation, fatigue, or misery. I recommend Terese Schelling's advice for anyone interested in creating lasting improvement and a physique they will be proud of.

When I first hired Terese to train me in my home gym in January 2018 I had already lost 30 lbs but still had a long way to go to reach my goal. I knew I needed the help of a professional to keep me motivated, as well as, to give me direction in the gym and help me with my food choices.
Terese developed an exercise program that addressed the knee and shoulder pain I'd been experiencing. Over the years she has continued to challenge me with strengthening exercises that include balance and core stability. At my request, we have also taken some of my workouts outdoors, doing some demanding hikes! In addition, Terese educated me during our nutrition sessions on the importance of healthy eating and introduced me to the Juice Plus+ capsules and the JP Compete shakes. The fruit and vegetable supplements are very beneficial since I have always struggled with eating enough of those foods.
Since I started working with Terese I have lost another 50 lbs., feel healthy, and more fit than I have in years.

For 14 years, Terese Schelling was not only my fitness trainer, but become my dear friend as well. She motivated me to stay physically fit. I looked forward to my weight training sessions that always consisted of hard work but never lacked enjoyment!
Terese is an excellent trainer and I am proud to highly recommend her!

I have been working with Terese for cardio and resistance training. My weekly sessions have helped keep me in shape over the years. Last spring after a fall, I started experiencing some knee pain and thought I would have to stop training. After seeing an orthopedic surgeon and completeing an MRI, I was diagnosed with a torn meniscus.
The surgeon wanted to operate immediately, and unfortunately didn't give me any other options. I obviously wanted to avoid rushing into surgery so I asked Terese to help me. She developed a program to strengthen the muscles around my knee.
Many months later I was no longer in pain and had more range of motion in my knee. I was then able to participate in all training activities once again!
