“Carolyn (Preston) Talarico is one in a million. Her gym and her personal training are superb. I have a degree in Kinesiology and had always been somewhat physically active. Somehow or another by the time my kids were in high school I had become a couch potato.

I took advantage of several trial memberships at local mega gyms. Some made me feel like I was in a factory, others like I was at a rock concert. The trainers I met – let’s just say it was not a good fit. Then at a charity auction I bid on a gift certificate for a few training sessions with Carolyn. I have been working with her for about 6 years now. She is extraordinarily knowledgeable about training and fitness and is creative as well. She keeps the sessions interesting and challenging. She can always come up with an alternative if a particular exercise is not comfortable. My body is toned better than at any other time in life. I also lost about 15 extra pounds that I had put on over the years. The weight has stayed off and I now am more physically active again and have quite a bit more energy.

Carolyn is also just a pleasure to be with. She has a positive attitude and is very accommodating in trying to make sure you are able to keep to your program.”

“I have worked with Carolyn a number of years because I find I need help in getting to the gym before or after a long day at work. She is a true professional who will challenge and motivate you to better health habits.”

“I am not one of Carolyn’s usual trainees. Most gym goers are people who want to loose weight and look good and healthy. I – on the other hand – want to GAIN weight and muscle mass. People don’t realize how big of a challenge it is. Carolyn has been – and continues to be – very helpful. She has extensive academic education in nutrition. She combines physical training with dietary and nutritional insights in a unique program of weight and total body management. Whatever your goal is – loosing or gaining weight – Carolyn is the best partner to achieve it.”

“One day I woke up wondering if I could run a marathon. Carolyn (Preston) Talarico quietly, patiently, and professionally showed me I could. In fact, she was gracious enough to cross the finish line with me at the 2003 Los Angeles Marathon. 8 Marathons, 3 Half-Marathons, and countless local 5K & 10K races later (including runs dressed in Halloween costumes) and all I can say is…Carolyn, you’re the best!”

“Carolyn is an amazing trainer. She’s keeps our workouts challenging and fun for me. Something I need and appreciate as I tend to get bored easily. If I have suggestions on various exercises I like and know work for me she will not hesitate to incorporate them into the existing workout. I have had great results with Carolyn and would, without hesitation, refer her to anybody looking to improve on their body and/or want to improve on their endurance as I do.”

“I look forward to my “hour of hell” three times a week with Carolyn. It makes the rest of my week so much more enjoyable. All kidding aside, Carolyn’s experience and knowledge of physical exercise and training are invaluable. I credit her with helping me avoid knee surgery when I injured my knee on a surfing trip to Costa Rica. Pura vida Carolyn!”

“I’ve been training with Joe Discuillo for some time now, and he is as focused and committed to my success today as he was at our first session. With his help, I have become a stronger and healthier person.”

“I’ve been a Future Physique client for many years. Carolyn helped me get in shape, lose some weight, and even run some marathons. That would never have happened without her great training! Great motivation in a fun atmosphere.”
