Women
Most women want to lose weight and tone-up. Some women are afraid of weight training for fear of bulking up. What they don't realize is the following:
Most women simply can't bulk up without significant effort.
Weight training burns more calories than cardio overall.
Muscles take more energy to maintain than fat.
Adding muscle will increase the metabolism.
An exercise program with cardio, weight training and stretching is a very efficient way to quick results. It's the best bang for your buck.
The benefits of exercise include:
- Increased energy
- Decreased stress
- Increased strength
- Increased muscle mass
- Improved posture
- Decreased back pain
- Increased confidence
- Improved sleep
- Decreased postpartum
- Providing a good example for children
- Providing activities to do with children like tennis, baseball, biking, hiking…
- Decreased injuries
- Compliments from family, friends and co-workers

Special Mommy Section
What a wonderful time in your life. But it can feel overwhelming and tiring.
I'm here to help. Here's what two of my mommies had to say.
"My postpartum was really getting to me. One night my husband came home from work, and I literally handed him the baby, got in the car and drove away to save my sanity. But that all changed when I started exercising with Tiger. From the beginning, Tiger worked her magic. She knew the stretches my body loves. She progressed me into harder and sweatier exercise. Day one, my body was more balanced, and I was releasing stresses. We exercise with the baby while I sweat and laugh at Tiger's corny jokes. And I love the workouts in the park!!!
Originally, I calculated the cost of a nanny and a personal trainer. Tiger was a lot cheaper than a nanny. Now that I have my sanity back, I can raise my baby myself without a nanny and set a great example for my son. I whole heartedly recommend Tiger." Elaine, age 42, Business Founder and Mommy.
"I had my first baby 6 months ago and felt tired. But when I started working out with Tiger I found I had much more energy. Tiger motivates me and makes working out fun. She even watches the baby so I can remain focused." Rhonda, age 34, Mommy.
Female Testimonials
Holly: Female, age 52
Title: Professor of Voice at Pomona College and Soprano in the Los Angeles Master Chorale
Goals: Lose weight and increase energy
I'm a professional, classically trained soprano in the Los Angeles Master Chorale and Professor of Voice at Pomona College.
When Tiger and I began working out at The Claremont Club in 2005, I was physically and emotionally exhausted from my heavy work schedule. But Tiger was literally a breath of fresh air that allowed me to recharge my battery.
First, stamina, proper breathing and proper body alignment are vital for a singer, and she had a unique ability to zero in on my needs. I was greatly pleased with how well our workouts improved my singing. Much of the language she used in instructing me I have since used with my own students.
Second, she was full of energy, enthusiasm and positive reinforcement. I found that my spirits were lifted when I was around her, which gave me a renewed energy to continue my work with enthusiasm and professionalism.
I was sad to see her leave The Claremont Club, but recommend her whole heartedly. I know her knowledge, training and positive energy are invaluable.
Terri: Female, age 50
Title: Office manager of an antique store
Goals: Lose weight.
Being a 5 foot 11 inch woman, I'm aware of my presence when I walk into a room. I dress nicely and keep myself in shape by running. I played sports in high school and college and have been a runner for 25 years. I even have a few marathons under my belt. Up until recently, I thought running was enough. But I felt fat and out of shape. Subconsciously, I began to slouch and dress down. And my back was in pain.
I did not know what to do if running marathons was not enough, but I did know I didn't want boring sit-ups. Tiger totally go it. We worked indoors, outdoors, and she made each session fun.
Tiger introduced resistance training. Once I got the hang of that, she introduced the exercise ball, then the BOSU, mat Pilates, the agility ladder, the medicine ball and now the Pilates reformer and Pilates chair. She has all the fun toys, and I had a blast learning how to workout my upper body.
I wish I knew then what I know now. After working with Tiger three months, I transformed my upper body. I lost a dress size and my cloths fit as if I lost 20 pounds. To my surprise, what I found was my back no longer hurt. I had, what I thought was typical, aches and pains when getting out of bed or sitting for long times. Maybe the back pain was from the years of running and pounding. But after strengthening my abs and back and improving my posture, I don't creak anymore.
Thanks to Tiger's variety of exercises, knowledge and unlimited enthusiasm, I'm feeling good about my middle-aged body.
Dina: Female, age 23
Title: Art School Design Student
Goals: Lose weight and tone-up
I have always been really skinny, but because of the stressful lifestyle of school I gained 30 pounds. I lost 15 of it on my own when I hit a plateau. I needed to boost!
Help! I panicked and looked for a trainer. Tiger's rates were reasonable, and her in-home training was so convenient. She and I clicked from day one. Tiger's energy and positive attitude motivated me right out of my rut.
She was able to help me lose 8 pounds in the first month. She taught me a personalized program, and now I'm successfully on my own. Tiger gave me the motivation and expertise I needed to get past my plateau.
But be careful, she kicks your ass. There will be no cheating when working out with Tiger. She is great. Thanks for everything.

She tailors our sessions to fit my personality and maximizes every minute we spend together."
