You can’t go wrong by using Catherine‘s services! My wife and I walk out after every session completely rung out and exhausted, in a great way. If you’re willing to do the work, she’ll whip you into shape in short order. Highly recommend!

Workouts at Lift to Lose are such the highlights of my week! The pace and change of the workouts keeps it fun and time passes quickly. Catherine is amazing; motivating and encouraging, and not over-the-top in correcting posture/form or yelling at us to go faster/do more. She wants us to want to be there and it’s obvious her clients do! Everyone leaves with smiles on their faces (and I’m usually panting still, too).

I’ve been working out with Catherine for three years and I can’t say enough terrific accolades about her. I began my exercise journey very reluctantly and now I’m happily devoted to the workouts. She has tailored a training program that fits my needs and is manageable. I enjoy training with Catherine in the privacy of her well-equipped gym, one-on-one.

Catherine Bongiorno is great at keeping a fast aerobic pace. In just half an hour, she pushes me to my max - when I don't think I can lift another weight - but I'm never sore the next day! And her gym is fully equipped. Highly recommended.

Amazing! Catherine knows exactly what I need to stay with a program, and I look forward to my workouts with her. The results are amazing in both body and mind. Catherine is an expert in the field of both fitness and nutrition and develops personalized programs to fit your needs. What I have learned from her is invaluable. Thanks so much to Catherine and Lift to Lose!

I have been training with Catherine for about 8 months, and I love it! This is the first time I've ever stuck with a workout program, and I'm actually increasing my times per week because it feels so good to have this class incorporated into my day. I have a few things to work around like a bad wrist and migraines, and Catherine is very mindful of my ailments. The group is great and she has the ability to address each of our needs without skipping a beat - it's always a great workout with lots of variety and new exercises. Never boring! I feel so much better and notice a big difference in my strength and overall wellbeing. Thank you Catherine!

Catherine brings variety, challenge and intensity to her workouts without pushing beyond capacity. She keeps you moving the entire time so there is no opportunity for boredom--before you know it the workout is over and you feel energized. And she makes it fun! In just 6 weeks, my husband and I are enjoying increasing core and muscle strength, flexibility, range of motion and more fluidity of movement as well as improved balance and posture. Working out with Catherine has been the perfect jumpstart to improve our level of fitness and quality of life. We look forward to coming back in February!

We both have been training with Catherine for a bit over five months- every weekday. The two of us are at completely different fitness levels yet Catherine is able to seamlessly design and run our workouts so we both succeed. Every workout is different, which makes it lots of fun and Catherine is very knowledgeable about every question we ask. If you need a trainer, look no further- this is the one you want!

I have been training with Catherine for 2 months now and am thrilled. She is professional, attentive, and extremely focused. Every minute is well used because she arrives organized with a plan in hand that is tailored to my needs. We have fun in addition to working, but by the end of a session, I can tell that every part of my body has worked. I've bumped up my resistance, my core work, my cardio endurance with each exercise session which has made my time working out on my own on other days more efficient as I've learned more and better ways of working out. Because of her thorough initial assessment form and meeting, I have the confidence of knowing that Catherine's time with me is focused on my particular goals, needs, and limitations. I put in a lot of work and in working with Catherine, I get a lot of bang for my buck. The reward is that I feel better and stronger than ever.

I've found Catherine a very genuine and caring trainer, her knowledge is vast and very effective in getting results for her clients. She focused on helping me achieve my goals and makes every session challenging and fun. Her consummate professionalism, along with nutrition and meal planning is stellar. I would recommend Catherine Bongiorno to anyone who wants to achieve their fitness goals.

I first learned about Catherine Bongiorno from seeing her train other people at Sedona Fit. I was impressed with her training techniques, her no nonsense approach and the encouragement she was giving the trainee.
Catherine begins by doing an assessment of you which enables her to understand you goals, your current workout regime and any physical issues you may have.
Having work with her for several months, I would describe her training sessions as intense. But that's in a good way. You get your money's worth. In 45 minutes, you will feel that you got a very real cardio and weight training workout. The added bonus to all this is that Catherine is very engaged in your training watching to see that you are doing the exercises correctly, counting and all the while praising you frequently for your efforts.
To me, Catherine is an ideal trainer.

My husband and I started training with Catherine 5 wks ago. I am so impressed by her ability to personalize every aspect of our training! I have very specific medical issues. One being a heart attack survivor 8 mos ago and having a bad knee nd back. My husband doesn't have any medical issues, but, he has specific areas he wants to work with in order to surf and paddle board and strengthen. We are seniors! Catherine has been fantastic, and we are both seeing great results! Weight loss, strenght, balance and tone! She is awesome!

Catherine makes working out fun. I never stopped from the beginning to the end of my session with her and the time flew by. She worked right along side me and kept me motivated, interested and involved. She shifted the level of difficulty on the fly, assessing my ability to do the activity and adjusted to meet my level. I especially appreciated the positive feedback Catherine gave me, frequently letting me know when I was doing something correctly. I came away feeling good about myself and eager to work out again. I have often heard about a "runners high", I left my session with Catherine on a "lifters high"!

Well, where do I begin? Catherine is many adjectives – all positive - rolled into one very special trainer! Kind, interesting, just-the-right-amount-of-tough, intelligent, accommodating, consistent, talented, professional, intuitive and wise.
Probably one of my favorite aspects of working with Catherine is how resourceful she is – all you need to do is mention something and she's got a tool or an idea that can be implemented. Another positive aspect is that she knows just the right amount of time to work alongside you to keep you motivated (vs. just counting your reps or time).
I am VERY fortunate to have connected with Catherine!

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND "Lift to Lose Fitness and Nutrition". I have participated in the exercise classes, along with the nutritional guidance program and they are "EXCXEPTIONAL". I have gone to the gym for many years, and Catherine is the BEST TRAINER I have ever had. Also, her nutritional advice exceeded my expectations. She takes a reasonable, sensible, realistic approach to eating. She has helped me GET RID OF THE "DIET" mind-set..(which I have struggled with my entire life). Her program has helped me tremendously to finally achieve mindful, healthy, and nutritious eating habits (gosh, and all without going hungry...... obviously the "right" solution!!!!).
Signed, a very happy and healthy client.

I really enjoyed working with Catherine. I went to her looking for someone to help me eat better....I didn't want a diet per se, just better eating habits and nutritional intake. Catherine monitored my eating for 2 weeks..coached me on better choices, gave me some good shopping lists and held me accountable for both eating and exercising....always gentle, but firm to help me along. I would def recommend Catherine to anyone that is looking to learn more about eating better and get themselves feeling healthier. Thanks Catherine!

I have known Catherine for several years and I have experience with both her workout classes and nutritional counseling. Number one - she gets it! She understands the barriers we have to overcome to achieve our goals. She really cares about her clients. She makes you be accountable and continually pushes you (in a kind way) to eat clean and exercise! I would not hesitate to recommend Catherine for any of her valuable services.

Lift to lose fitness is a great fitness program and group. Catherine always has new programs that challenge your body in different ways. You will never get bored of the same workout same routine because it's always different and challenging. Best trainer and program I've been a part of...keep it up Catherine!!!

I would never be able to give enough accolades to Catherine. She is just absolutely THE BEST at what she does. She doesn't just teach and coach, although she does DO that, she also....listens, cares, and inspires, and all with a great sense of humor. Her workouts are hard, energizing, and fun. She knows how to work muscles to get the best possible results, and is extremely knowledgeable on nutrition, but more than that, Catherine has perfected how to appeal to a person's higher expectation of themself. She will influence and motivate you, get you back on track when you need it, and all with a healthy dose of knowledge, caring and humor, and the best thing: you're gonna love it!!

I first met Catherine years ago when I purchased a class at a charity auction. The first class showed me how out of shape I was, but I stuck with it, did another class, then another, and now have been with her for years. Classes are motivating, never boring and she has modifications based on your fitness level. We have teenagers, boxers, skiers and retirees working out together, some with bad shoulders or knees but all getting the individual workout we need in a group setting. She keeps me in shape with just two classes a week, and when the schedule works out I'm in good enough shape to do two back-to-back. Want to get in shape or add something to your current workouts? Give it a try!

Over the past eight years Catherine Bongiorno has kept my 60 year old body:muscular toned and healthy
Her method to body conditioning has me using 2 to 6 muscle groups at the same time to do one exercise.
This is very efficient and efficient.
I saw results right away from her methods.
Catherine praises throughout the class hour, also gently corrects those whose form is off to ensuring an injury free workout
She excels at the degree of difficulty and is challenged to create class workouts for those of us that are advanced in our abilities, as well as those who are walking into her class for the first time
Best of all is her humor, humanity, knowledge and laughter.
Catherine Bongiorno is beyond a five star in my book and always will be *****

I have worked out off and on over the years and I've never seen an instructor so devoted to her clients. I lost 30 lbs. taking her group fitness class! Her sense of humor is contagious and you can't help having fun while getting a great workout!

I have been attending Catherine's classes for ~2 years now and love how she's always throwing in new moves and keeping it exciting! Her classes are great for any fitness level, as she always has suggestions on how to make a move easier or harder. A year or so ago I decided to add on some personal sessions with her, in-between her Boeing classes I attend, and have loved the results! She has pushed me to pick up weights I would have never even thought of attempting on my own! She's great at tailoring my workouts, taking into consideration my sometimes finicky back and tendency to get shin splints. She even goes above and beyond when it comes to supporting her clients! She's participated in 5k and charity fitness events with me and other clients to keep things fun and keep us moving!

Catherine is an excellent teacher. She watches you closely to make sure you have good form so as not to injure yourself. She is very encouraging to keep you pushing yourself. As one who gets bored easily she keeps the workout interesting, always doing something different to continue to work the muscles in different ways. She is very attentive to her students, if someone feels an exercise is too difficult for them she gives you other options so you never feel embarrassed.

Slow and steady wins the race! I have struggled with maintaining weight loss for years, I lose it and it shows up again. Catherine has taught me how to track and manage my calories as well as my Fat, Carb, Protein breakouts. She has also proven to me that lifting weights (and sometimes very heavy weights) does help you lose weight! I have successfully maintained a steady decrease in weight for the last 4 months and am looking forward to how much more I can lose :)

I'm so glad that I found Catherine when I moved to the area last year. She is fantastic at what she does. Her energy is contagious, she's incredibly communicative and reliable, and she knows her stuff. She makes workouts both fun and effective. She's also very encouraging and positive. She demonstrates each move clearly and is very attentive to form. Despite my many previous injuries, Catherine always manages to find a safe way for me to work each muscle group. Her workouts are a challenge, but so worth it!
