She was motivated, engaging, and very professional.  These attributes ensured an intense, challenging, but more importantly, successful training event.  Going beyond that, she analyzed the special characteristics of our unit personnel and designed the class perfectly suited for our group.  This is not something we expect from the ordinary instructors.  We were absolutely impressed with every moment of her instruction and she fulfilled our expectations to get a good training as well as fun.  I would have Ms. Waldstein come back any time to give another block of instruction to my organization as it will truly boost the morale of Soldiers and enhance the overall fitness of our unit.

I highly recommend Ruth as a trainer.

When I started working out with Ruth I had been lifting for 3 years but had not been making progress. I was 6’4” and 228 when I started working, out with Ruth. I was benching 205# 3×10 and maxing at 265#, squatting 195# 3×8 and curling 35# 3×8 and had not been able to move that plateau for months. Furthermore, I was dealing with shoulder and knee pain. Working with Ruth changed all that. She corrected my poor form in benching, squatting and curls. After working with Ruth my max bench improved to 325#, my form got better and my back and shoulders stopped hurting. My squats improved due to the form improvements and new workouts that Ruth gave me. I am now squatting 50 more than I was previously with almost no knee pain. I was most dissatisfied with my arms. I had made no progress on my biceps despite months of work. Ruth corrected my poor curl form, gave me a number of new workouts and exercises that resulted in me gaining 2” in my biceps over 3 months. I am now curling 45# 3×10.

Ruth also gave me exercises for my abs, legs, and shoulders that have resulted in me gaining18 pounds of muscle and becoming noticeable bigger and broader, especially in the shoulders while at the same time losing fat.
