TESTIMONIALS

Ariel and her Mountain Madness program has been the catalyst for me to finally get beyond what had been a huge barrier in my life of fitness. Due to a back injury that has lingered for almost two years, I finally realized I HAD to modify the way I exercised into something that I could actually do. I realized I couldn't do this by myself. With Ariel's expertise, not only am I finally feeling fit again, my back has felt much better with very little pain as I have become stronger again. I CAN DO A NORMAL PLANK AND PUSH UP AGAIN! I do this all at home without the need for a gym! This may not seem like much, but for me it feels victorious. I highly recommend Mountain Madness or any other program that Ariel offers. She is AMAZING!

I joined Mountain Madness when Ariel launched the second round in October. I started to journal and mediate and found that I was able to focus on the journey. The last week of the 6 weeks challenge happen to line up with my 6 month follow up with my doctor. My lab came back with my A1c dropping and my cholesterol decreased!! I have discovered that these are far better numbers to follow than the numbers on the scale. I am still struggling with the weight, however I am focused on the journey not the weight. I have learned that I can do hard things, I am worthy of the time for me to do what will benefit me. I am beautiful and I am amazing. All these things were not in my vocabulary before. I know that my weight loss will be the side effect of what I am doing. But feeling better and having energy is amazing!"

I’ve trained with her for many years off and on since 2015. Ariel always knew how to push me and make me work my butt off. Figuratively of course since more booty was the whole idea. So when she finally launched her own programs, I had to be part of it. 

It’s certainly impressive to have someone kick your butt while not even being there. I haven’t worked out with her in a long time. The one on one assessment before getting started with Mountain Madness was key to the program. She could see what my body was doing before sending out the videos. This helped because she knew what I was capable of doing and not doing. She was able to coach me effectively because of the one on one. Whenever I had questions about something in the program or even not about the program, Ariel was there. She let me know ways to make it harder. And ways to make it easier if needed. 

In the five years that I have known this person, she has taught me more than I ever thought she would. She’s been a friend I never knew that I needed. 

Wherever, whenever and however I can, I will find a way to learn from this woman. 

There is always so much more to learn and even though I’m finished with Mountain Madness, my journey with Ariel is never over! On to the next one!

Mountain Madness was an awesome program!  Prior to working out with Ariel, my workouts were primarily cardio based (eg; hiking, elliptical, paddle boarding). I had never really done any strength/resistance training. I knew I needed more from my workouts, but had no desire to join a gym and use the weight machines/free weights.  I’m more motivated to work out when I don’t have to drive somewhere to do it in front of a bunch of strangers.

When I saw Mountain Madness it drew me in because it included the strength training that I knew I wanted, it could be done from anywhere, it didn’t require much equipment at all, and there was an element of personalization.  Ariel set up a one on one with me before the official Mountain Madness videos dropped, which was great because I really needed the initial one to one instruction since I had never worked out this way before.  The weekly live Q&A sessions were also great and provided additional helpful information.  Ariel was very quick to respond to any questions/concerns I had outside of the live Q&A sessions as well.

Throughout the program I was able to stay motivated and really enjoyed the workouts.  They were very challenging, but also manageable since Ariel provided suggested modifications to ensure that the exercises fit your personal needs.  After finishing the program, I can say that I can feel a huge difference in myself.  The workouts (while still challenging!) have become easier for me as I have gained strength, which has allowed me to push myself further by adding weights or doing some of the suggested modifications to make the exercises more challenging.  Overall, an excellent program that I would recommend to anyone looking for a good strength training program!
