Vanessa joined HERS for a reason, unlike most clients I've interviewed.  The spunky single 32-year-old and I met a couple of years ago when we shared our love for all things Disney (she loves Baymax from Big Hero 6).  She ventured off to Disney World, on her own, adventurous and excited. I had no idea then what she was truly battling. Inside, Vanessa was overcoming a hurtful experience, but no o…Read More

Paula has been a staple at HERS for the past two and a half years.  Now 39 and a former beauty blogger, she knows that physical appearance is important, but it always stems from good health on the inside first.  Married, Paula often shows up to class with a frequent visitor, her eleven-year-old son, Adam. He waits for her patiently while his mom completes her workouts because he understands that…Read More

Turning 49 in June, Rosanne was looking for something special and unique to hold her interest. Many of her friends found the e…Read More

If anyone wasn'…Read More

Lisa Dyer was settled into her routine at a local gym. She had a corporate membership with her spouse’s company benefits. Lisa used the machines because everyone else did them, but wasn’t sure exactly what she was getting out of them. She did a personal circuit as best as she could. The classes took too long and she didn’t see the results she wanted. When Lisa heard about a new kickboxing st…Read More

Noelle Hunt doesn’t see herself as exceptional.  She is a regular mom, an educational assistant turned artist.  Nowadays, she attends classes at Hers about three times a week because her journey through life lead her here. Growing up, she suffered from Body Dysmorphic Disorder or BDD, a body-image disorder that affects about 2% of the population.  BDD often develops in adolescents and teens a…Read More
