Testimonials
I sought out Barbara at the FIT EDGE because I was out of shape, overweight and constantly fatigued, leaving me utterly depressed over the state of my health. The best decision I have made for my physical and emotional well being was Barbara. In 6 months she helped to motivate and inspire me to empower myself to make realistic changes in my lifestyle. I lost over 50 pounds and participated in a triathlon. The knowledge, fitness, and empowerment I obtained from training with Barbara will allow me to continue with new goals, more triathlons and enduring health.

After years of living in O.C., I finally found the kind of “wholistic” workout I’ve been searching for, and it’s just down the road from my new home! Barbara at FIT EDGE not only created a workout that suits my personal needs, but she has gradually convinced me to start eating the right kinds of foods so I really feel my best. I’ve been working out for years down South, but no one has ever really seemed to want me to succeed like Barbara does. Thank you, Barbara!
