Working with Emma Mattison has literally been life-changing. Over the past 10 years I've been dealing with advanced prostate cancer. The latest occurrence last year and the treatments prescribed left me extremely weak with pain in my joints and muscles. Every day tasks became a problem. Emma changed all that by expertly designing a customized program for me and patiently addressing all of my physical problems. Her positive, careful, and non-judgmental approach to stretching, balance and strength has returned me to my active life once more. Emma is a wonderful counselor and coach as well as being knowledgeable in fitness and exercise...all of this and she is a joy to work with.
I highly recommend Emma. She is incredibly knowledgeable and personable, I love working with her. After a long struggle with my hip, I came to the end of trying everything to avoid hip replacement surgery. I had it replaced in November 2022. Recovery, for me, was a long journey. Finally, in March 2023, my recovery started to improve enough to bring my PT down to once a week and work with a personal trainer. I was a ballroom dancer for show and competition and my goal is to return to that level of activity. I was hoping to find a personal trainer with dance background. I was elated to find Emma....who has a 20 year dance background! She knows the process to get me and my body to a safe, strong, and confident place...for life and dance. As I said earlier, I highly recommend Emma.
Emma is a bundle of energy — just like the Energizer Bunny! Her communication, warmth, and personalization keep you motivated and coming back. She truly meets you where you are.

I have spent most of my life largely avoiding exercise, which has come back to haunt me. I started using the Peloton app for cardio during the pandemic and discovered that I actually liked this kind of workout. But when my doctors urged me to add strength training to my regimen, I hit a brick wall. No matter how light a dumbbell I chose, I kept injuring myself. I concluded that most online trainings were not designed for people like me, with little experience and aging, achy bodies. I needed something personalized, and I wanted to work with someone who understands the specific needs of older women. Emma Mattison's training program (customized for my aching body and preferences) has turned me into someone who does strength training throughout the week: On my own, without the hassle and embarrassment of going to a gym. Thanks to Emma's video guidance and steady communication, I'm following my doctors' orders and putting in my weekly strength and cardio workouts. And I'm feeling healthier for it.
Emma Mattison took time to assess my current fitness and nutrition needs prior to providing me with a personalized program. She is extremely knowledgeable and genuinely cares about her clients' progress. The workouts are challenging but achievable, and I've seen real improvements in my strength and mobility. Highly recommend!

I had a terrible back going into training. Emma was able to get me back on track by doing workouts that focused on my specific needs. Her functional aging expertise really shows — she knows exactly how to modify exercises for joint issues and chronic pain. I'm now stronger and pain-free.
I had an incredible experience with Emma as my trainer, and I highly recommend her. One aspect I particularly enjoyed was the convenience of being able to do all my exercises at home without requiring a gym membership — I only needed a few pieces of equipment such as resistance bands, loop bands, and dumbbells. Initially, I started training with Emma to strengthen my knee, but I soon discovered numerous other benefits: a significant decrease in my blood pressure, the development of muscle tone, and a reduction in belly fat. I now feel healthy and fit. Emma's expertise and knowledge are truly remarkable — she took the time to understand my specific needs and goals and developed a personalized plan to meet them. What impressed me even more was that the exercises were similar to those recommended by my physical therapist, which reassured me I was on the right track.
If you are looking for a true professional fitness instructor/coach then Emma is your answer! She is dedicated, knowledgeable, and truly invested in your success. The online coaching format works perfectly for my busy schedule.
Emma has many excellent skills as a personal trainer: her knowledge about the body and how it works; her use of creative exercises like deep breathing and tai chi in addition to traditional PT moves; and her easy to follow and understand videos she produces with her husband. What I value most, however, is her willingness to meet me where I am as an older woman who did not like exercise and to be encouraging, non-judgmental and supportive. Her weekly check-in to review that week's routines is something I always look forward to. She is inspirational and kind. I'm so glad to have found her.
Working with Emma has been the best investment that I could have done for myself. There's such a vast amount of knowledge and personalized attention she provides. The video check-ins keep me accountable and the progress I've made is incredible.
After several years with several different personal trainers and very little success, I finally found Emma. She is so knowledgeable and has been able to help me become so much stronger! She has a very personalized and specialized approach and it works.
Emma was absolutely wonderful! She recognized a shoulder issue I had without me even telling her I had broke it a few years back and she strengthened it for me. She is very well educated and knows what she is doing to help you physically, mentally and nutritionally. She takes her business very seriously and really cares. I would highly recommend her to anyone. In fact I just recommended her to my daughter who has some acute back issues. I'm excited for them to meet and get started so she can try and help her get out of chronic pain. Thank you Emma for being so great!
