TESTIMONIALS

I have been working with Ajia for about 8 months now, and these 8 months have been truly life changing for me. Not only does she encourage me to stay active in between sessions by sending daily messages, but she gives me the confidence to try different things. I now have the confidence to go to a public gym alone and do more than just cardio and the basic weight machines. Ajia has also been incredibly helpful with the food aspect of my journey as that has always been what I struggled with the most. She has shown me so many different recipes and substitutes for recipes for my specific restrictions. I couldn’t be more grateful for everything Ajia has done for me and I cannot wait to continue my health journey with her.

With winter break over, it was time to put my core strength homework to the test. Tikka is a horse with a lot of power in the hind end. He often wants to go past the distance. Having a solid core strength foundation and being able to be strong enough to stay quiet has helped us immensely. Feeling empowered, fit, and strong going into the 2023 season.

"After starting Keto and losing 75 pounds, I needed additional support to reach my next health and wellness goal. I reached out to a long-time friend and coach, Ajia. I've started to see more and more improvements, most importantly a decrease in my back pain, an increase in my overall flexibility (my two main wellness areas,) and another 16-pound loss!  I even participated in a 5k and beat my previous 5k's time!"

Last February, 2022, I enlisted the help of a personal trainer, Ajia Clancy. I had been someone who had always exercised and was in okay shape but wanted to really have a more focused approach to fitness. In 6 months, I was going to be married to my best friend and I wanted to look fit for what ended up being one of the best days of my life.  My goal was not to lose weight.  It was to just tighten up, tone, and build muscle.   To tell you the truth, I was nervous.  What would it be like?  Would she be nice?  Would it be a good fit?  Would I be able to do the exercises despite being 53 years old? It was FINE!  

Well, all of my fears were laid to rest the moment I met Ajia at our first virtual meeting.  She was so down to earth!!  Her positivity and flexibility allowed me to find small pockets of time to train and remain motivated throughout the entire training process.  My schedule is incredibly busy so it was challenging, but we did it.  It was definitely a partnership!  Ajia always listened to any/all concerns I might have, as well as a variety of questions.  She was patient and non-judgmental.  And yes, she was nice.  But, more importantly, she was excellent at her job and took it seriously.  And yes, it was a great fit. And yes, she got me to do the exercises even though I wasn't 25!!  It all worked out so well.  

The exercises were always geared to me individually and never felt like a "cookie cutter" plan.  Ajia frequently checked in on me in between workouts to see how I was feeling and ask me if I had any questions.  In May, I got Covid and was anxious that my progress would be lost.  She was so reassuring:  "Don't worry-we have time."  She was right.  She made me rest and not start back up until she knew it was safe for my body to begin exercising again, even providing me with articles that supported her recommendations to wait a while before resuming our plan.  She knows her stuff.

I was really pleased with the shape that I was in by the time I had completed my training.  I felt strong and fit and confident in my own skin.  I have Ajia to thank for that and I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone who wants to have a more personalized approach to achieving his/her fitness goals.  She's outstanding!

I have benefited from Ajia's training for two years. Ajia is not only great during training sessions, but also in between. She is constantly tuned into my needs and progress during the week, and I always feel comfortable reaching out to her if I have any questions. I am stronger and more in-tune with my body than I have ever been. She has coached me through injuries, through my new interest in running, and through various physical activities outside of our training sessions. In fact, the best thing about Ajia is how willing and ready she is to adapt my training program to whatever I’m currently interested in. I’m so happy to have found a trainer who is willing to work with my specific needs, goals, and passions.

Ajia has been a great compliment to my strength, conditioning, and smart approach to exercise and fitness. I've never met anyone so psyched about workouts and it shows when she leads you through the sessions. When I first started working with her, I was expecting just the weekly personal workout routine. What I got was much more. She cares about my progress, checks in frequently to see how I am doing, and adjusts to target needs and goals. Prior to working with Ajia, I only had a couple of workout routines. She changed that and throws all the variety at you......no dull routine, that's for sure. 
Ajia changed how I exercise. I love the results.

Ajia goes above and beyond to help me with my fitness goals! I love that she is an equestrian and understands the fitness needs I am working toward!

8 months ago I didn’t like my reflection in the mirror; I barely recognized myself. I had always been relatively fit, but got off track after a series of stressful life events so I reached out to Ajia for help. In the past 8 months of working with her, I have lost 25lbs, and gained muscle mass, strength, balance, endurance, and confidence. 

This has all carried over into my horseback riding fitness. Over my 40+ year span of riding, I have consistently had trouble with my right shoulder and hip collapsing. I had always attributed this to scoliosis as a child. However, after working with Ajia on evening out my muscle imbalances this has all but disappeared. I actually had a riding instructor compliment me recently on how even and balanced I am in the saddle! Such a bonus; I wanted to improve myself and like who I saw in the mirror again, and along the way I also improved my riding fitness.

I didn’t know what to expect when I asked Ajia for help, and what I discovered is that I am capable of making significant changes in my fitness without a gym, in the comfort of my own home, on my own schedule. She is an excellent coach who is there to support me and my goals, and tailors my workouts each week to help me achieve them. I’m so glad I made the decision to reach out to her for her expertise and help.

Ajia has been my personal trainer for several years. Her commitment and knowledge in her field is incomparable.  She helps me stay active, motivated and strong! She has a great personality and always makes the workouts fun!  Looking forward to the future being fit!
-Michelle Mottshaw, Gates

Ajia makes getting and staying in shape fun! She does a beautiful job of working with me to identify my goals and is highly skilled at helping me stay motivated and consistent. She is kind and supportive and I look forward to my workouts with her. Highly recommend.
-Diana Ryan, Rochester

Working with Ajia over the past few years has been an absolute pleasure!  I enjoy my workouts and look forward to our sessions together.   Ajia is professional, caring, energetic, goals-driven, and highly intelligent.  She makes my workouts FUN by mixing it up and continuously helps motivate me!  Her attention to detail, timeliness, and overall personality is a perfect fit!
-Meghan Schneible, Fairport

I highly recommend Ajia Clancy!  As someone who doesn’t enjoy a group fitness environment, I love being in my own home and working with her virtually.  She’s easy to communicate with, works with your schedule and adjusts to any physical limitations.  Whether she’s planning your work outs or helping meal plan, she’s amazing!
-Abby S., Walworth

Ajia has created a program that is suitable for anyone. Her individualized approach makes reaching your personal goals attainable by helping you create healthy habits. 

Since starting with Ajia, I have noticed an overall improvement in my body awareness which has helped me to improve my riding. Being able to adjust my ride to accommodate whatever horse I am on each day has helped to elevate the level of training I can offer my clients. Working with someone who understands and relates to the ins and outs of horses in addition to having a wealth of knowledge on how to coach her clients to a more healthy and empowered lifestyle makes Ajia an invaluable asset to any rider or individual looking to improve their health.

For many years I have struggled with physical fitness – especially over the winter. Spring would come, I’d want to ride my horse and be active outdoors and I’d be weak with limited energy. It was a depressing cycle. I tried going to the gym, but I honestly didn’t really didn’t know what I was doing there. I had no real plan and it just felt like an uncomfortable waste of time. Using a personal trainer didn’t really occur to me as I had the impression that was something for rich people, or those that were already super fit. Plus, my schedule just wouldn’t allow driving to a place to meet somebody several times a week. But then I found Ajia Clancy and everything changed! Being able to meet with Ajia virtually has been a game changer. I can be in the comfort of my home on a schedule that fits my life and my goals. No fancy gym equipment needed – Ajia is so creative and plans a great workout no matter what you have. It’s always interesting to see what she comes up with. She also meets you at your level with your goals in mind. I was worried that I would feel self-conscious about my lack of fitness or limitations from past injuries, but Ajia is so accepting and positive - I feel completely comfortable. She works with you right where you are and assists you in setting goals that make sense to you. The fact that she is an equestrian is a HUGE bonus to me. She totally gets my sport and what I need to do, not only in the saddle, but around the barn. I also need not have worried about the cost. Her per session cost is totally reasonable and all the support she gives even outside those sessions provides incredible value. And the proof is in the result – this spring I was ready to ride! My first days in the saddle and out working hard around the farm were great. No feeling weak and tired – no stopping to catch my breath. I am excited to continue my wellness journey with Ajia. I highly recommend Ajia for anyone looking to improve their overall health and quality of life.

As an active competitor in the equine sport of Eventing, being physically fit is important, especially as I move up through higher levels of competition. I'm an older competitor and have suffered several injuries that required extensive rehabilitation. Both have taken a toll on my overall fitness. I decided to do something about it and reached out to Ajia. My favorite part of working with Ajia is that she tailers my workouts to meet my specific goals and needs. Ajia is always positive and encouraging but holds me accountable. I would recommend Ajia to anyone who wants to improve their fitness and overall well being!
-Brenda Buck-Smith, Scottsville

Ajia Clancy is amazing! I love that I can do my workouts virtually! I am able to fit it into my schedule so much easier. She is always there to cheer you on no matter how big or small your achievements are. 
​-Shaylan Johnson, Honeoye ​

I’ve had the pleasure to watch Ajia run workshops and talk about exciting new activities, like fit walks and “bride to be” workouts.  It took me many years to finally try her as my personal trainer.  I noticed a huge difference within a few sessions. It’s nice to have someone you talk to on a regular basis be the person helping you improve your health.  Although we talk every day, she still checks in after workouts and our virtual sessions.  
Her ability to work around my joint issues and random sore joints is wonderful.  I enjoy being able to use the virtual option and to see the workouts on her app.  Excited to see what 2023 has to offer, besides the confidence to participate in my 1ST Ever Charity Marathon.  
-Lauren Szczesny, Irondequoit 

Over the couple of years that I have been training with Ajia, she has made a very positive difference in my overall fitness and strength.  She motivates me to reach for higher levels in the workouts that she leads.  I appreciate the thoughtful balance among muscle systems that she incorporates into my workouts.  She keeps good track of what works and what doesn’t.  Her passion for her work is evident.  I appreciate that she is willing to work virtually, which has gotten me through the pandemic in better shape than I’d otherwise be in.  And she’s a fun, upbeat person who can get me working hard at 7:15 in the morning, not a small feat.  I’d recommend her to anyone at any level for an intelligently designed program and some good active fun.
-Ralph Merzbach, Brighton

Wanted to share a moment of joy with you. I had always made it part of my day to give the boys an "upstairs hug" before going to work by scooping them up and holding them tight.  I had not been able to do that since 7/22! Today I felt a surge of confidence and strength and surprised each boy with a scooped-up upstairs hug. They each melted in my arms.  Using good technique (engage the core, glutes, and quads in concert) as well as the growing strength I've enjoyed under your guidance, I and the boys had a wonderful heartfelt moment we all enjoyed this morning.  Thanks, Coach.
-Rick B., Fairport 

I have been a client of Ajia's for many years and love the motivation she brings.  She's constantly finding new ways to get me to do more.  This last was a 2 10 second plank once a day challenge.  Well gee, 20 seconds out of my day I can do that - And I have!  Can't wait to see what's next!
-Sandra Chait, Macedon

As a 94 year old great grandmother of five, who is no longer an active person, I can only say”thank goodness for Ajia Clancy.”  She is a bright, delightful, very knowledgeable and caring person who has made me more comfortable moving my old body. I look forward to every weekly session.

We had the pleasure of working with Ajia Clancy recently when she contributed an article to our website Health Web Magazine. We found Ajia to be extremely professional and easy to work with; she understood exactly what we were looking for in terms of tone and content and crafted her writing in a way that would appeal to our readers. Ajia delivered her work promptly, within our specified timeframe, and the article we received was well-written, informative, and error-free.
We would have no hesitation in working with Ajia again in the future and we highly recommend her to anyone seeking high-quality health and wellness-related content
