Lesley Leach Is One Amazing Woman! |
|
Lesley Leach is one amazing, inspiring and fabulous woman! I first met Lesley at Gold's Gym where she taught my Bodypump class. I would always attend her classes because she coached us like a rock-star! She'd offer tips for a harder workout and her spirit and passion for the workout pumped up the room! She even inspired me to become a Bodypump instructor too! Last year I also had the previledge to train withLesley for my first ever Figure competition.
As a personal trainer myself, I thought Ihad it all put together to succeed in the competition... well, even 'trainers' need a trainer! And Lesley fit the bill! She motivated me like none other! Her courageous spirit and positive attitude kept me focused when times were rough and energy low. She always would push me to the next level and keep my focus on the prize! I am so blessed to have Lesley as a friend and professional 'co-worker.' She is always looking for new info and knowledge about health and fitness so to inspire and challenge her clients.
As a nurse, Lesley knows the scientific background of why obesity and weight issues are a challenge and how it is a 'life and death' issue with many Americans. She conveys this knowledge to her clients and friends so to give them passion and drive when they are improving their lifestyles. Lesley is a woman of esteem, care and intellect! And the best personal trainer I know!

What can I say about Lesley that hasn't already been said? YES she's an amazing woman, a fabulous trainer/teacher, a true inspirer but above everything else she's compassionate. How many trainers/instructors can you go to with personal problems, asking for advice or just shooting the breeze off hours? Lesley will always tell anyone that they can call her with any questions. I've seen Lesley take time out and answer questions and show the correct form for that particular exercise to others while she was training a group of young ladies. It would've been very easy for her to say that she didn't have the time/she was busy but she didn't.
Another thing that drew me to Lesley is that she will correct your form and doesn't care who you are or how long you've been coming. I've seen some instructors look over individuals who had incorrect form. That is a very important quality!
I love the BodyPump/Spinning class. Who would've known that exercise classes could be so energetic? Not me!
I have lost 50lbs since I've decided working out is a necessary part of life. I have Lesley to thank. Yes she will tell me that I did the work, which I did - but she was there pushing and inspiring the entire time. We all have tried different workouts/ diets but I thank Lesley for giving me a new/different outlook. Lesley is always educating us at any given opportunity with statistics, things that she seeʼs at the hospital and also from personal experience. Always saying "ok, so you messed up forget about it and start it again right now. Not tomorrow or next Monday." It means a lot to hear personal stories from your trainer that has walked in your shoes by being overweight.That means and says alot.
I'm glad that Iʼve had the chance to train with Lesley and am looking forward to more sessions.
