Sami has a great knowledge of health and fitness, but the best thing about working with her is that she truly cares for her clients as people-not just physically, but mentally and emotionally as well.

Sami is GREAT!!!!!....... Both my wife and I "enjoy" the training sessions with Sami. She has an "upbeat" personality that makes training enjoyable. Sami's interest in breast cancer clients is heartwarming. We "Love" her!

Sami has a unique way of pushing me to my limit each session keeping me in the best shape of my life. Her outgoing personality creates an environment for a very enjoyable work-out.

Sami pushes me just a little further than I would push myself and I always
feel better for it. Her encouragement means a lot to me.

As a two-time breast cancer survivor at the age of 35, I realized that I had to try harder than the average person to be healthy.  I refused to face this disease a third time, so I sought help from the ONLY Cancer Exercise Specialist in town, Sami Papacek.  Sami has not only taught me how to exercise properly, but she has become a very dear friend to me.  Her enthusiast spirit is very contagious.  It's very obvious that she loves what she does and how much she cares for her clients and I am honored to be one of them.

Although people have told me that I looked great, I hadn't worked out routinely in years.  I always felt achy and had no energy.  With Sami at my side, I stay motivated by having my own personal "cheerleader" and even entertainer at times.  I'm amazed by her expertise in health and fitness.  Finally, I actually use my home gym, and I feel as good as I look.

The really unique benefit of training with Sami is her ability to intuit the best approach for an individual based upon their current condition and preferences. When I first started with Sami, I couldn't do a standing lunge without falling over. As my strength and coordination increased, she changed my workout accordingly. The other key point is that she is constantly varying the workout, utilizing many different types of exercise equipment, which ensures that you never get bored.

...she keeps me going when i feel like quitting!  Very pleased with the muscle tone in my rear, legs and arms!  Keeps me in shape by her great personality so I keep coming back!

Although I had worked out quite a bit before my cancer, I was uncertain after chemotherapy and extensive surgeries about what exercises would be both safe and beneficial. I worried about lymphedema, loss of stamina, the total absence of core strength and, in general, negative thoughts about my altered appearance. Sami understands all these physical and emotional limitations, and nevertheless, relentlessly believes in every survivor's potential. Sami has combined her knowledge about the body's anatomy and her knowledge about breast cancer surgery to tailor a program that specifically fits my needs. She is able to change the program as my body responds to the exercises. I have had no problems with lymphedema and feel my core is stronger. And, even when I have not been her most devoted client, her upbeat encouragement continuously renews my spirit and inspires me to do better and believe in my own strengths.
