Testimonials
“I have moved over 20 times in my life, and lived in many different states. I have belonged and worked in a lot of gyms. Moving into the Genesee area 4 years ago I made Genesee Mountain Fitness my gym. If your wanting or needing a gym that really wants to see you succeed with your fitness goals, Genesee Mountain Fitness is the place. Lisa Katz Holland and Tami Poortman are the owners, and the “muscle” behind the success of the gym and its members. These two women encouraged me to compete in a fitness competition. They were there for my entire training needs. The day of the competition they both were at the show on their own time to help me through the day of judging. It’s a very non-intimidating place to go to learn, exercise and make new friends!!! As I’ve said before I’ve been a member at numerous gyms and Genesee Mountain Fitness is really there for its members! I feel part of a family! I Love it here! –Lauri
“I’ve been training with Lisa since December 2013. I came to her wanting to lead a healthier lifestyle. I had no specific desired weight loss in mind. Lisa listened carefully, crafted workouts specific to my body, and encouraged me. I am now 30 lbs lighter and am stronger and healthier than I’ve ever been. I owe Lisa so much and am grateful to her every day.” -Dana
Regarding Tami Poortman: “In October 2015, I was severely injured in a bicycle/truck accident. Four surgeries later, I was released after a ten week hospital recovery, barely able to walk. Starting in January 2016, Tami welcomed me into her gym as a rehab challenge. Tami has been a tremendous source of strength and motivation. Tami devised a Pilates routine which has benefited my mind and body enormously. Tami is brilliant, humble, highly attentive and caring. She is a pleasure to work with! Having worked with over a dozen rehab professionals, Tami uniquely provided the best routine to improve – I’m now (April) vastly improved. Thank you Tami!” -Abbott
“Lisa at GMF has helped me to get into the best shape of my life. I have been training with her since 2009 and the partnership has been amazing. She mixes up the workouts to keep it challenging and fun. I thank Lisa for helping me lose more than 40 pounds of weight after having two children. I highly recommend Lisa and thank her for helping me to achieve my fitness goals.” -Michelle
“Eight years ago, my Naturopath encouraged me to do weight training, and I started looking for a gym close to my home. A friend recommended Genesee Mountain Fitness. Having never been to a gym before, I was very intimidated. I eventually started working with Lisa for personal training sessions and she inspired me so much! Not only did she make me feel very safe and secure in trying new workout skills, but she was very motivational and supportive in empowering me to go forward in my workout abilities. I have seen my flexibility, my endurance and my overall health increase over these eight years, even though the hands of time keep moving. Lisa has helped me become the Ageless Goddess I am today!” -Beverly
“As a baby boomer, 6 years ago I decided to invest in my health by searching for a personal trainer. My goal was to become stronger, create more endurance, be freer from injury, improve balance, and develop consistency in my exercise routine. My search for a personal trainer ended as I walked into Genesee Mountain Fitness and spent an hour with Tami. It was the most encouraging hour of exercise I ever had experienced. Now, 6 years later, my 2 times a week with Tami far exceeded my goals and added some bonus ones. Tami has helped me through several injuries and the more important recoveries and response to some falls. Tami is so knowledgeable and her encouragement ensures the exercise program she designs just for me will improve my quality of life now and going forward. I’m stronger now than I ever imagined I could be. Tami is so genuinely caring and makes me feel confident in challenging myself. Tami has such passion for helping all her clients and her ability to connect with everyone with her great personality is so amazing. Now, my husband, after suffering from a very serious injury, sees Tami twice a week as well. His recovery and road back to strength and beyond has been nothing short of amazing……………………awesome.” -Meryl
“I began training with Lisa about 3 years ago and asked her to focus on my balance and upper body strength. Primarily, we have focused mainly on balance. I had discovered that my balance was very poor and I was aware that this can be a major problem for elderly people. I remember my initial despair and frustration at not being able to stand on the BOSU, Balance Disks or the foam roller. As soon as I tried, I fell off immediately! However, Lisa is patient and encouraging and eventually I began to make progress. At this stage, she has taught me to do exercises using the TRX equipment while standing one-legged on the BOSU, what a challenge. My progress is entirely due to Lisa’s perseverance and commitment. I only train once per week and then only for 30 minutes at a time. But this session is one of the highlights of my week. Lisa and Tami have built a well-equipped gym that caters for all: the elderly, as well as others, and which is friendly and welcoming.” -Tim
