THE PERSONAL TRAINER FOR THE OLDER ADULT

I started training with Uli a year ago. Over more than a decade I have been struggling with health issues, and among them advanced arthritis, all being very disabling. Uli was recommended to me. Having tried many trainers before with no success I was very skeptical. Uli carefully listened to what my problems are, my health history and then worked with me to develop a program to address them. She tailors her exercises to my specific needs taking also into account my life style. Despite a few set backs, that she dealt with understanding and patience, I have noticed a marked improvement in the flexibility of my joints and strength in my muscles. I can walk for a longer time, bend, kneel down and carry weight which I couldn’t before. She helped me immensely regain mobility and energy. Thanks to her I have stopped taking pain killers on a daily basis. Her competence and professionalism clearly shine through. She has become a crucial part of my healthcare team working with me to find a long-term solution. Uli has a passion for sports and fitness that she likes to share. She sincerely cares about her clients and is very compassionate. She has a very pleasant, easy-going personality and a great sense of humour.

I consider her more as a friend than a trainer.
 

Uli is an incredible coach. I came to her about 5 months ago with the goal of strengthening my whole body and improving my athletic performance. Dealing with occasional low back pain and shoulder issues, Uli knew exactly how to modify exercises for me. She helped me regain my strength and confidence in my body’s capabilities. I used to be so scared of lifting weights but under Uli guidance, I’ve found a new appreciation for the gym. My sessions with Uli are the highlight of my week. We laugh and have so much fun while we get fit. She’s the best and I recommend her to friends and clients all the time!

I have had the pleasure of training under the guidance of Uli for nearly a year. She has been so helpful in guiding me in achieving my goals. She has been attentive to every exercise, my form and core stability. She pays attention to the number of reps and keeps logs of the amount of weights I can move from day to day. My progress is traceable at any time. My health has improved. My posture is better. My confidence and overall happiness has increased. I don't have brain fog anymore. I'm sharper mentally and physically.

What sets Uli apart from the hundreds of other very qualified PTs in Vancouver mainly is her laser-focus on client care and ensuring proper form with considering the safety of your individual physiology, taking into consideration your personal goals.

In short, Uli is more than a personal trainer, she is a life-changer: Uli cares about you inside and outside of the gym, and she does everything positively from the heart: Just being around her, she does what she preaches in her life, and her love of fitness is infectious. I can't recommend Uli highly enough.

A little bit about me, I am 66 years of age, retired, and lived a not too bad a lifestyle but probably more bad than good. Long story short, I was hospitalized with type 2 diabetes at the age of 64 and I finally discovered what was wrong with me.

Once out of the hospital I was injecting insulin twelve times a day and life had become complicated. I schooled myself and realized that insulin was going to kill me rather than cure me. I weened myself off insulin by stopping all sugar, processed foods, liquor, fast food, and meats. I established a new routine which included an oatmeal breakfast followed by an hour and half of walking each morning. I did this for a year then had to incorporate strength training.

I was going to get a personal trainer and for the first time in my life I was going to learn to train right and do it for the rest of my life.

This is when Uli Webster enters my life…

I was introduced to Uli and we got to work. We trained three days a week at the beginning, now I am at the stage where I train with Uli once a week and on other days I work-out independently. It’s perfect for me. To this day Uli continues to be my personal trainer. She is very knowledgeable of the body and knows how to trigger and isolate muscles. She has incredible attention to detail, is a motivator and is 100% focused on me during our training. She leads by example and is always learning and improving herself which in turn motivates her clients. When you meet Uli you will understand! She keeps me motivated, on my toes, informed, positive, and always on track.

I can't recommend her enough!
