Yo’s Idea Box

I’ve been working out with Yo on the UWS since last April — and I love working with her!
When I started with her, I had not been to the gym for over a year due to a back injury and a long period of physical therapy. I was very out of shape and had gained back quite a bit of the weight I had managed to lose in the three previous years. When I left the gym, I found myself exhausted after our very gentle workouts.
It’s now been 10 months and I am feeling quite a bit better physically.
I have lost 25 pounds (simultaneously going to Weight Watchers). This has been a challenging, roller-​coaster period for me with both business challenges and personal grief. Yo has been a consistent, balancing influence.
Additionally, Yo’s creativity has kept things interesting — and effective. She knew what I might be ready for and was able to suggest it — from free weights & nautilus machines to yoga stretches! My stiffness and soreness has been slowly lessening.
Yocheved has been supportive as a friend and, at the same time, has continued to be focused, holding me accountable for my improving physical well-​being. I am now more toned, more flexible, stronger, have better balance, less depressed, more willing to try new things, more committed to creating a future where my good health is my greatest treasure!
Yo has been an important part of this tremendous shift for me over our time together — my companion and inspiration.

I’ve been working with Yocheved on the UWS for almost a year now. I was placed with Yo by coincidence, while I was not getting the results from a past personal training. I was looking for a woman specifically, but more importantly, I was looking for someone to coach me through my training and keep me accountable for my own progression.
Yo has done all of this for me and I cannot thank her enough. When i walked into her office, I was honest that I had larger goals, but I wanted to start stronger arms and upper body. Not only did she listen, she was able to assess my needs in a larger picture scope and I have most certainly on my way to success! I see the definition in my arms and now I can do push ups with the best of them! Not to mention the rest of me is slimmer!
Thank you Yo for being a friend and a giving me a great motivational drive that I can do it! You proved that I can!
