Testimonials

As a young woman learning to navigate the world, Courtney has impacted my life in a big way. Over the course of three years, she has helped me learn the ropes of clean eating and body movement.

As a 21-year-old female, I now have a clear vision for the lifestyle I want to lead. Courtney has armed me with the mental tactics that will allow me to live the happy, healthy lifestyle that I thrive for.

Courtney is a very relatable teacher of health and wellness, and her energy for life is contagious. Over the course of my experience with Courtney, she has transformed from being my health coach to my biggest role model.

She is a rockstar, and she has taught me that I am one too!

As a professional in the fitness industry, I thought I was doing everything right but I was not achieving results that I wanted. I was then introduced to Courtney through a webinar series and I realized I was doing everything wrong. I had the pleasure to work with Courtney for almost a year. Her goal is for you to understand your process and what you need to do in order to reach all of your goals. I was always grateful for her ability to motivate and coach me on a weekly basis and prepare me on what I needed to do to achieve success. She knew exactly what I needed to hear each week that I talked to her. Courtney’s compassion and knowledge helped me reach goals that I never thought were possible. I thank her for the knowledge that I now have to continue me through my process.

Having Courtney Townley in my life is the best gift I’ve given myself in a very long time. Try as I might to give up or give in, I keep finding my way back to her wisdom and inspiration and my life is so much better for it. My husband, a chiropractor, has sent several of his patients to her for exercise coaching with excellent results….no fear of hurting yourself with Courtney’s guidance!

She helped me gain more strength and stamina. Most importantly she made me strive more mentally as I gained more confidence in my body. She and the help of her inner circle really helped me to train for a double knee replacement, and kept encouraging me after the surgery. She is one amazing coach.

I have had complications with my ankylosing spondylitis (inflammation of the spine) off and on since I was 18. It seemed like my arthritis had gone into remission during the time that I was having children. This was the case until about a year ago. I began having a lot of pain again, just like I had in the years prior to my children being born. As a stay at home mom with 3 little kids, having pain & not being able to move freely or at times not even being able to pick up my kids made my days difficult. I decided that I had to do something that would eliminate the problem, not just depend on prescription drugs to mask the pain. My mother, who had been taking classes from Courtney, strongly encouraged me to talk to her about my food choices.

Courtney became my health coach and has changed/influenced my life in so many ways. My pain is gone & I feel the best I have ever felt. Weight loss wasn’t my goal going into this process but I have lost 7 pounds and I am back to being as active as I was in college. I also had suffered from migraines my entire life. At least once a month I would get a migraine that would make me sick & put me in bed. About 4 months into my process with Courtney, I looked back and realized that I hadn’t had a migraine since I had changed my eating habits. This is still the case today. Migraines are no longer a part of my life and my husband & kids are so very grateful for that.

Courtney has also helped me become more aware of the stresses in my life and how to deal with them. She has helped me to realize my self worth and that we all as women deserve to be happy & feel fabulous. She has gotten me to the point that I feel great physically and is now so gently guiding me through the process of feeling great about myself inwardly. If you choose to let Courtney, in on your journey of life, you will be able to appreciate the wonderful gifts she has to offer. I am so very thankful for the changes she has brought about in my life.

I have worked with Courtney for nearly 5 years. I started with her in a class situation doing mat Pilates, and went on to personal train with her. The last 2 years or so, I have been in a small group training setting with Courtney challenging us every week. Courtney is the best. She always watches my form, has good modifications if there are bad joints or injuries. Her upbeat attitude and consistent energetic cheerfulness make working out – almost – fun!

Then there is her gift for food coaching. I started with another food coach and just wasn’t getting there. I had watched those around me who used Courtney as their food coach change very quickly. I switched and the rest is history. Courtney gives so much information, so quickly, in a short food coaching phone call that you better have pen and paper ready to take notes. EVERY time I talk to her, I learn something more to help me stay on track. Even after maintenance, I check in with her and she tweaks my eating so I can keep my weight where I want it to be. An inspirational woman to be sure!

I have worked with Courtney for over a year. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone who has any desire whatsoever to increase health and well-being. She is incredibly supportive and knows when to hold your hand and when to hold your feet to the fire to help you get the results that you desire. Along my journey, she has been teaching me what I need to know to maintain my health for the rest of my life after I reach my goal. She supports me physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. She is AWESOME!

Courtney is the perfect coach for anyone who has a sincere desire and commitment to becoming “happier, healthier and more fit. She has an ability to inspire and motivate others through her knowledge, innovative ideas, positive attitude and energetic spirit. Her energy and passion for helping others along their path to health and vitality are contagious and inspirational. These skills and talents enable her to nurture each of her clients in her holistic approach to health.
As an educator, she keeps herself informed and up to date with the latest in science, fitness, health and wellness. As a mentor, she lives what she teaches and is continually striving to become her best. As a motivator and coach, she is thoughtful, intentional and caring. She challenges her clients along their journey, with an emphasis on making the journey fun.

Courtney is by far the best fitness instructor I have ever had. She keeps me motivated!

Over the past four years, Courtney has been my coach, class instructor and personal mentor. In all those capacities, she has shown excellent knowledge of how to make fitness enjoyable and productive. Her emphasis on balance, stretching, diet, strength and endurance has been very effective. In addition, her unfailing friendly encouragement and helpfulness make working with her a real pleasure.

I worked with Courtney after the birth of my son. Pregnant over 40 – it isn’t so easy to bounce back to pre-pregnancy weight & fitness level. I have been a practicing physical therapist for 20 years and have spent the last 10 of those years working in the personal training venue. Courtney is who I turned to in order to achieve my goals. She was a perfect match for me as she makes your sessions personal yet she keeps you accountable and on track with her professional & caring approach to coaching. She “gets it”. Courtney understands that life sometimes gets in the way but she manages to redirect your attention to the positives which make it easier to make it all happen.

Courtney is an outstanding trainer and coach. She has a passion for empowering her clients to lead more fulfilling lives. Her technical expertise is unsurpassed, but more importantly, she genuinely cares about the people she works with. She is an inspiration!

Courtney is one of the most inspirational women I know. I started my health and wellness journey with her, and over fifteen years later, I’m continue to learn from her wise words. She is always ahead of the wellness coaching curve, and has incredible amounts of energy, integrity and consciousness. I always feel stronger and more capable after working with her – she’s amazing!

Driven, compassionate, inspirational, always learning as much as possible in order to share her passion and educate others. Courtney gives people what they need, and she does it through communicating, educating and motivating others to experience life with a fullness and peace they didn’t know possible.

She directs and encourages from her heart. Through many years of experience in the heath and wellness industry, with infinite knowledge, and a background in functional movement, Courtney is a leader in the field, at the forefront of a new way of health for the body and mind.

Courtney sees beyond the outer appearance, as she works to help others see the entire picture of what a healthy body not only looks like, but more importantly feels like; from healthy joints and tendons, to muscles, hormones, vital organs, and how they synchronize in everyday life.

Courtney pushes those around her to dig deeper, with a sense of urgency that today is a gift and tomorrow a treasure.

I’ve had Courtney as a trainer and coach for about five years and think she’s top-rate in every way. She has a terrific way of continually reminding her students about proper body alignment and position for all the exercises we do–it’s a priority and I love that she emphasizes it. She really “walks the talk” by her own commitment to conditioning, but is able to relate to even the most uncoordinated student with helpful explanations and encouragement. She has boundless energy and enthusiasm and approaches her classes with creativity: she never does the same routine twice, so we never know what to expect each class, except that we’ll get a great workout.

I’ve learned so much about fitness, health, and how my body works from Courtney–she’s helping me transform my late 50s into an exciting time of transforming my body rather than settling into old habits and patterns that no longer serve me. She’s a true inspiration and a very gifted teacher.
