"Knowing that proper food choices and exercise are important to our wellbeing is one thing. Making good choices and establishing an exercise program is another matter.
Several years ago Marie and I "found" Pilates and Vicki Bernstein. Vicki has applied her talents, knowledge and dedication by building for us an exercise program that has dramatically increased our physical wellbeing.
To each exercise session she brings planning, variety and abundant good humor. Building session upon session, she has helped us achieve greater flexibility and core strength - real changes we see and feel.
At some point in life decisions should be made to include regular exercise. In my opinion, my choice of Vicki Bernstein as personal trainer is one of my best life choices. She really cares. She produces result.
To your good health." - Dennis Gilliam
"I have been training with Vicki Bernstein for approximately three years. Our primary objectives have been weight/strength training as well as improvement of flexibility. She has motivated me and helped me overcome barriers to success in these areas. In addition, I have learned how to do Pilates and Gyrotonic as a result of my time with Vicki.
I have appreciated her unwavering support and positive attitude. She has motivated me to take on challenges that I otherwise would not have had the self confidence to try. I am stronger and more capable of exploring new fitness goals/opportunities as a result of the success of our sessions.
In addition to planning top notch programs, she is on top of all of the new research in the area of health and fitness. I see Vicki as a part of my personal fitness program for many years to come." - Sheri Sundstrom
"I have had the pleasure of working with and getting to know Vicki Bernstein for a little more than a year now. It has been absolutely incredible watching the growth and interest peak for our Chair and Mat yoga classes. From a programming perspective, it is sometimes difficult to find someone who resonates with the residents. At times, they can be a very critical and tough crowd. Vicki is naturally professional, enthusiastic and knowledgeable in this field. She has managed in the year that she has been an instructor here to double class participation from 12- to 24+ on a consistent basis. Vicki is a very much loved, respected and appreciated part of our Fitness team and we are so lucky to have her. It goes without saying that her shoes would be VERY difficult to fill, as it is sometimes difficult to find instructors who are not only knowledgeable, experienced and educated in this arena, but have the type of personality that is suitable to facilitate a class for seniors, most of them well into their 80s and some in their 90s.
I have been a part of this networking fitness/wellness community for the past 5 1/2 years and have had the wonderful opportunity to meet many professionals and I can easily say that Vicki has been at the top of my list of experts in the field. She is a gem and anyone who has the opportunity to meet her and/or work with her in this capacity will be blessed for years to come. - Mary Chapman, Fitness Program Manager, Mary’s Woods at Marylhurst
