I have been encouraged in caring for myself through personal training from [New Self’s] fitness instructor, Christina, who also is a licensed physical therapist. Being a mother herself, she understands the needs of the body after giving birth, and has modified instruction to help me and the other members regain strength & endurance. Working out several times a week in a fun, supportive atmosphere does wonders for my body and my mental state.

I would like to say that I am very impressed with the quality of care that my boys receive at Kid Corner while I workout. Brayden's eyes light up when we round the corner and he knows he's going to play with Cassie. Now he's saying her name and all we hear is "where Cassie?" It makes me feel less guilty about working out, when I know my boys are having a blast playing and doing some educational activities. Thank you girls for all you do! My boys have fun, yet still come running to me after my mom time!

I’ve been getting massages from Michele for years and she is the best! I have been to many places for massages and I have never had a massage as great as Michele gives them. I’ve been so spoiled by Michele that when I’m out of town and get a massage I am usually disappointed. She figures out what you like and need the first time and she doesn’t forget. The massages are consistent and ALWAYS make me feel 100% better afterwards. She has been great in helping the tension in my upper back whether it’s from teaching 4-year olds or feeding and carrying around my new baby.

Shortly after joining [New Self] I met Christina, the personal trainer. I learned she was a mom of 3 kids and was extremely knowledgeable about helping moms get back into shape. She was able to tailor classes and exercises to personal needs based on previous injuries and surgeries. Her genuineness, knowledge, and caring personality persuaded me to join her classes….albeit reluctantly. In September I committed to being a participant of Madison ’s Biggest Looser on the New Self team. It was during this contest, that I was transformed. In the beginning, I had no self confidence and felt like I had lost myself. I was an exhausted mom who could barely look in the mirror at my body and could hardly say one nice word about myself. I set a personal goal for myself and over the 12 week contest, I became educated on how to eat healthy and prepare fun and healthy meals for my family. I went from hating exercise and being in the back of classes to looking forward to sweating and feeling the accomplishment of a great workout. I lost 23 pounds during the contest, but that was not the biggest highlight for me. I learned the value of caring for myself through exercise, eating healthy, and making time for me – all without feeling guilty.

As an avid triathlete and Ironman competitor, I can't get enough of Jessi. I have been working with her for the past year, after searching for the perfect massage therapist, and she is a great match. Jessi has helped me to overcome injuries as well as avoid them, even providing me with things that I can do at home. Though she can always tell where I need the most work, she continually checks in with me and responds to my feedback. She is always willing to answer questions about how my muscles respond to exercise and what exactly she is working on. I recommend her for both the athlete and non-athlete alike, as long as she leaves a spot open for me!

-Diane

New Self strikes the perfect balance, the luxurious spa experience with a casual atmosphere. The services are convenient, affordable and certainly high quality. Sharyn is professional and friendly. I have referred a number of friends and family members, knowing she will take care of them. When I make a referral, the person often asks how I found this fabulous place and immediately tell me they
will be back.

I've had artificial nails for over 20 years...yeah, what a great invention! Over the years, some techs have done well for me, some not so well. Before coming to [Sharita], I was getting my nails done at one of the many salons where you can just walk in anytime. They use electric nail filers. I was pretty happy during the years I was going. Until...I made an appointment with you. What a difference! I had just gotten used to the look of my "artificial" nails...you could tell they were fake. The first time you did my nails, even I thought they looked real! You are very good at your craft, and I love seeing you at the appointments. You are sweet and personable and I always leave with great looking nails! Thanks. See you at the next appointment!

-Sandy

Thank you, Cassie and Anna, for giving me peace of mind knowing that Serena is in not only capable, but loving hands. This means the world to me. I could not relax if I were worried about Serena, but I'm never worried at New Self when she is in Kid Corner. I know she's safe, happy, and well loved. Your work is so important, and you are appreciated.

-Polly

I have been a member of New Self Renewal Center for approximately 5 months. I am extremely happy with the club. I am very impressed with the friendly, professional staff. The workout classes are awesome!! Christina's fun-loving spirit and fitness knowledge make the classes enjoyable and challenging! I have found the members to be friendly and welcoming.

-Tracie

I have had multiple massages at New Self Renewal Center, with Michele, and am very happy to be a customer of this business. This is mainly due to the expertise of Michele, but also due to the wonderful facilities and a wide range of choices to accommodate for almost any lifestyle or situation. I recommend the moist, hot body pads which heat the muscles deeply to relax them prior to getting massaged, which makes for a much more soothing experience overall. I have been getting massages from Michele for over 7 years now, and cannot complain about a thing!

-William

For me, massage isn't about luxury; it's about maintaining the best possible level of physical and emotional health. I've been working with Jessi for more than a year now; she's an excellent massage therapist; one of the best in the business! My massage therapy sessions with her allow me to stay limber and flexible and avoid the neck/shoulder aches that come from too much time on the computer at work. It's also great to be able to tap into Jessica's knowledge of anatomy and physiology. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her services!

-Linda

I always look forward to a pedicure with Sharita. She takes her time and ensures that you feel relaxed. She is also gentle (some are too rough in their filing, clipping, etc.) and asks questions to find out if the water is the right temp, color looks good and anything else you may need. If you are someone that is on your feet a lot, the foot and leg massage will ease your tired muscles. Her easy-going and friendly personality are so inviting that I find we are enjoying conversation and laughing through the pedicure. But if you just want to sit, relax, read or close your eyes for that time, she makes it easy to do that, too. She is a sweet girl that does her job well and it is DEFINITELY worth it!

-Pamela

I started working out with Christina and using the fitness programs at New Self about 2 years ago when the facility initially opened and since then my life has changed in so many ways. Christina has helped me to see the value and now the enjoyment of exercise! She is such a positive and supporting person in my life. I now have a confidence that I have never had before and new way of looking at my life. Thank you, Christina, for impacting me more than you will ever know!

-Melanie

My fiancé and I have been to many massage therapists but none of them compare to Jessi. We've been going to New Self for massages for almost 2 years and have never been disappointed. As soon as you walk through the door Jessi makes you feel comfortable and at ease. Jessi makes the massages about you and your specific needs which make it more personal and you don't feel rushed. I personally like a mix of acupressure and relaxation massage which Jessi has no problem offering both. We'll definitely be back for more massages in the near future and we thank her for her excellent service.

-Hilary & Jordan

I have been a client of Michele's for over 5 years. I had been to several massage therapists in the past and never felt as relaxed and stress free as I do after a massage with Michele, I almost feel "intoxicated" after a massage with her. I feel Michele listens to your issues and then seems to know just how to massage away the toxins and muscle knots to leave you feeling 100% refreshed. I would highly recommend Michele for all your massage therapy needs.

-Terri

Christina is one of the primary reasons I belong to New Self. She is a wealth of knowledge regarding anything nutrition, exercise, strength training, and injury prevention. I love her classes and the way she tailors exercise programs to my specific needs. More than being an expert in her field, she is a joy to be around. Christina is inspiring, encouraging, and thoughtful. She is the kind of person you want to spend time with because she brings out the best in everyone.

-Katie

From the spotless facilities, to the demonstration of how I can better care for my heels, I love going to New Self for my pedicures. The paraffin wax dip for my feet made an incredible difference. Sharyn takes the time to make the experience the best possible. I feel pampered and special every time I visit. Thanks, Sharyn!

-Dani

I was a gal living a life full of Mondays. Maybe you know what I mean. For me, every Monday was a new opportunity to clean up my diet, move more and take better care of myself. Each fresh start began Sunday afternoon at the grocery store, stocking up on healthy meals and snacks and often ended promptly at the first sign of temptation or my first failed attempt to exercise. Everything revolved around a number on the bathroom scale; needless to say, I wasn’t very happy with my “progress.”

Will that one number change over time? Sure. But now, any day of the week, it’s exciting to meet up with my friends for a lunch time Circuit Training or Swiss Ball class or even just a cup of coffee. And even better? I don’t know who will appear in that "After" box, but whoever she is, I’m so very proud of her.
