Health is Wealth/Invest in You Client Testimonials

"Fall in Love with you again"

"After 25 years of marriage my wife and I have seen each other at our best and our worst as far as our health is concerned. I am 51 and my wife is 49 years old. In March of this year we decided that we needed to take better care of ourselves and reached out to Paula and made an investment in our Health and it was one of the best decisions of our life. Paula steered us daily as we navigated through food choices and the type of exercise we needed to reshape our bodies and minds. Also, having had a serious heart attack just a few years ago made me tentative and overly cautious of how this was going to happen but we made it happen day by day and I have eliminated almost all of the medications that I relied on for lowering my blood pressure. I know that this change is due to our new lifestyle and we love everything about it. Simply put, we are better and stronger than the food and the choices that surround us daily and we can't thank Paula enough. We are dedicated clients and will continue to be so." Michael & Doreen - Fiskdale, MA

"I saw more results working with Paula in one month than I have struggling on my own for 10 years. Paula is a fantastic trainer, motivator, and just a plain, wonderful person. I am a busy working mom and with Paula I have to MAKE the time for me, which is what I wanted and I also just did not have the experience or knowledge to reach my goals. I highly recommend her!" - Danielle, age 39

"Paula Patruno has changed my life! Paula has been my personal trainer for the past six months. From day one, she has always been focused and well prepared during my workout time as well as taking a personal interest in my overall change to a healthier lifestyle. I am a 56 year old woman that has spent the past 30 years of my life very overweight. Paula taught me how to find the inner strength I had hiding deep within my overweight body. With her guidance and support, I have learned to push myself physically, make healthier food choices, and to take 'me' time to become a stronger person. Thanks to Paula, I can look forward to spending my next 30 years stronger, healthier, and happier!" - Colleen, age 56

"I have been working with Paula for about 6 months. The results have been amazing. I am stronger, have reduced back pain, sleep better, and feel better about myself. I have worked with other trainers, but Paula is the only one who has tailored my workout around my specific issues and goals. She pushes me and helps me set realistic goals that I know I can reach. I have never worked with anyone who is so supportive!" - Billye, age 56

"I entered Paula's studio Health Is Wealth Personal Training two years ago when I was at an all-time low. I hadn't worked out in months and was at my highest weight. Paula showed me how much weight training and sensible nutrition can truly change your body and improve your overall fitness. I had a personal best in the half marathon after working with Paula, at 43 years old!" - Karen

"Paula is so many things, too many to list.  She is understanding, motivating, inspiring and I am grateful to be able to have her as my friend and personal trainer" - Patricia Wilson Hall, age 47

"January 2014, the year I would turn 50, Paula helped motivate me to take charge of my health, and made me realize that I... needed to take the time to take care of ME! I 3 short months, not only have I shed a few unwanted pounds and inches but I have also shed the idea that I was descending the hill of my life... Not true! I have had more energy than I have had in years. Kudos to Paula and myself!" - Kim Bourgeois Powell, age 50

"I read about the importance of strength training as one ages. When I retired, I called Paula. She helped me increase flexibility, increase strength of major muscle groups & avoid aggravating a past back injury. When I began I could barely do 5 wall push-ups, but now I do 30 floor push-ups. Today I can also complete 2 sets of 15 chest flyes with 20-pound weights & 15 chest press with 25-pound weights. Thanks Paula for making this 66-year-old woman stronger!"

"Paula has been instrumental in helping me maintain healthy eating habits while working on my strength training a couple times a week. Working with Paula keeps me on track and mindful of the importance of a healthy lifestyle. If I get distracted she pulls me back!" - Deb, age 58

"I participated in thier fitness sessions with Kyle and had the most fun I ever had in an exercise class. He kept us motivated, taught us new exercises in every class, while laughing and having a blast. I cannot say enough great things about my experience here." - Sandy Gagne

"It has been two months that I joined this place and have been working out with Kyle. The circuit sessions are tough, you will sweat but you will also see results. Kyle is ever-present, he gives a lot of guidance with form to prevent injury. Kyle pushes everybody to meet their potential and won't take no for an answer. He also takes into account the variety of fitness levels in the class. The sessions are filled with a lot of laughing which helps everybody get through the workout." - Melissa Bloombury

Paula is a fantastic trainer. She understand the needs of her clients...particularly those clients who are busy and find it challenging to make time for training sessions. She adapts to the clients schedule and needs, including conducting training sessions through zoom. 

Online training sessions with Paula are always productive and feel like she is the room helping to get the most out of the workout - from monitoring posture and form to seeing when a given workout has been mastered and needs to be modified to continue excelling. She stops at nothing to ensure her clients reach their goals.
