“I wholeheartedly recommend Sam Fistrovich of Art of Motion Personal Training. I have been working with Sam for over two and a half years and she has dramatically improved my physical well-being: body fat percentage, strength, stamina, aerobic performance, nutrition/diet and overall health. But what I have observed and believe is her greatest "gift" is she approaches each client both individually and holistically - body, mind and spirit. Sam lives the vision and mission of Art of Motion: Strength · Joy · Empowerment. And bottom line - she gets results.” -Peter D.


"Sam Eckelman is an outstanding trainer.  She is thorough, careful and very personable.  Her thoroughness is demonstrated in her attention not only to the actual exercises, but also looking at all elements of wellness - including nutrition, sleep, and stress.  Sam is pleasant, but firm - she challenged me often, but also provided helpful support and she gave me confidence that I could succeed.  Most impressively, after I sustained a serious injury, Sam reworked my program to fit my recovery situation.  If an exercise was not going to work due to the injury, on the spot Sam could come up with an alternative exercise that would both satisfy the fitness goal and not exacerbate my injury.  She was great fun to work with and I trusted her completely with my fitness program.  Sam is a gem!" -Nancy D.


"Sam was my personal trainer for 1 ½ years and I would recommend her for anyone that wants to increase their physical and mental strength in and out of  the weight room. Sam took me from a place of not knowing how to do a squat and lunge to true strength. Her deep knowledge of body mechanics and strength training combined with a passion to see each client succeed is top notch! Sam’s kind yet committed manner was a perfect fit for me! Thanks Sam!!!" -Judy H.


"As a 50 plus first time exerciser, my experience with Sam's training and physical conditioning has been an excellent one. Her expertise and motivation have improved my overall health. Not only does she challenge me, she thoroughly explains the exercise and benefits. Sam is an outstanding trainer, and I highly recommend her to anyone interested in increasing his or her physical conditioning.” -Rick W.
