I met Jodi in November of 2010. We had a common interest in a business "adventure" and from there it all began. While our "business adventure" didn't prosper, I did contact her again just before the New Year to begin on a journey into a healthy lifestyle. I admire and trust Jodi's professionalism and her kind heart. On January 4, 2011, I started my new lifestyle.

With Jodi's guidance, education and personal training and my willpower and determination, I knew it was going to be a success. Jodi educated me on a healthy way of eating (I won't call it a diet because it is my way of life). She was there to answer any and all questions I had. She trained me in the gym. She knew what I was capable of and how hard I was willing to work. She got to know me from the inside out and knew just what to say and do to keep me motivated. I began to see not only my body change but also my attitude. I felt energetic, I was shrinking and I was happy!

I am happy to say that I reached my goal (40 lbs lost) in 6 months and I am continuing to "fine tune" my body. I never thought I would enjoy such a healthy lifestyle. But I do. I look forward to my workouts and my eating habits are second nature to me now. People I know come up to me and call "me" their inspiration! What a fantastic compliment. Jodi will always be a part of my life. I think the world of her and if you have any doubt about your abilities, all you need to do is sit with her for a talk and you will be inspired and on your way to a healthy and happy life. You won't regret it!

"I never imagined at this point in my life (just recently turned 55) that I would have a 'new career'. I am a dedicated wife, mother and childcare provider and in my heart always will be, yet here I am a Certified Personal Trainer! Let me digress a bit and share how I came to this new and exciting place in my journey:

"Fitness, power walking and aerobics were always a part of my life, with healthy eating habits a challenge. Like so many of us, when handed the difficulty of walking griefs' journey, I moved away from a healthy eating and fitness routine.
In January of this year I made a phone call to Jodi RN that changed my life.

"I had a nutritional consult and weight training session with Jodi Iaccarino, and then began my journey back on a path to better health, fitness and well being.

Dear Jodi, I just wanted to let you know something . . . As you know, I am heading on vacation to the island of Curacao. I was packing for the trip and tried on various outfits. Last summer the clothes were loose and fit great. This year they are too large! I am so thrilled as I approach my 50th birthday that I am in better shape today than I have been for many years. I am also going to brave a two piece bathing suit for the first time in ten years. It is through your inspiration and coaching that I have been successful in changing my eating habits and sticking to my work out routine. I am so blessed to have discovered you and Jodi RN! You are the best!
