I worked with Tamar for a few months – she was really great and helped me with my strength goals. I would have kept seeing her but I moved out of the NYC area.

I’ve been working with Alena at Leading Edge for 2-3 months now! I am so grateful to have a someone who is trained in prenatal exercise to support me in my pregnancy so my body stays strong and supported as I grow! Alena listens to me and creates workout plans based on my individual needs and body. Can’t recommend enough if you’re pregnant and looking for support. I also really appreciate that everyone is fully vaccinated and willing to wear a mask indoors. I feel really looked after and like I’m in good hands!

Genie

“I’ve been training with Noelle for almost 2 years now. When we first met, I was terrified of having a stalky body shape from working out. Noelle knew exactly what to do so that wouldn’t be the case and helped me achieve a lean toned body. Things that I thought were impossible, were happening to my body. She is a dedicated, knowledgeable, and passionate person to guide you in the right direction for your personal growth and health goals. Every time we meet, the workouts change and they’re always fun yet challenging. I always feel like my muscles are being introduced to something new. Since I’ve been pregnant, she’s personalized my workouts once again to match my needs and also has provided a lot of guidance about the changes in my body right now. Moms-to-be worry about everything and Noelle has made me feel so comfortable and confident. I can’t stress enough what a positive change I’ve undergone mentally and physically thanks to Noelle.”

Dorothy

“While training with Kern for the past two years, my body has undergone a transformation. I have been able to achieve my goal weight in a slow and steady manner while building lean muscle. I have worked with other trainers in the past but have never met a trainer as motivating, well-versed in this field, patient and thoughtful as Kern. He trains me alongside my friend and he is able to help us achieve and maintain our individual goals even though they are different. He has the perfect balance of “drill sergeant”, motivator, and friend. He has pushed me to my limits and on many occasions I’ve yelled and screamed only to be laughing 5 minutes later. He has also educated me on nutrition and macro tracking which is helping to maintain my new physique. You will never regret training with Kern, he is really one of the best! I am looking forward to many more years of working together.”

Kelly & Dan

“Kern is awesome! My husband and I have been working out with Kern since 2014. He is always reliable, even with our early morning appointments and is highly engaged in what we’re doing and at what level so as to keep mixing up our routines and raising the bar. When we have specific goals, he’s been enthusiastic and on-point in helping us achieve them, all the while making it fun and challenging in the best way possible”

Leandra

“I’m very impressed with the results from my three months online training with Kern. I reached my heaviest weight this year after giving birth and trying some other programs, bingeing hours on cardio, and working a desk job. Kern helped me identify and address my slow metabolism. I’m now eating double what I averaged when we started and I’m building muscle and losing weight at the same time. He recommended a macro nutrient based diet that works for me. I’m not deprived of any nutrients my body needs which makes for a great long term solution. I’ve learned portion control and how to enjoy some treats in moderation. I’m down 17 lbs and down four sizes in my work uniform. My posture has improved tremendously and I’m weight training at levels I’ve never reached in my life. The best part of this experience is that Kern is a very competent nutritionist and fitness coach. He listened to my concerns and goals and tailored my workout regimen and diet as he saw fit for my needs. Training has been safe and effective. I’m very satisfied with my results!

Anuja

“I was diagnosed several years ago with fibromyalgia and suffered from chronic pain in my legs, upper back and neck. Since training with Noelle, I have lost 18 pounds and for the first time in years I’m now injury and pain free, which I never thought would be possible. I feel stronger and healthier than ever before. It feels fantastic having my friends take notice to the positive changes and to finally achieve my results I’ve wanted after 7 years of failing at various diets and exercise regimens. I know with Noelle’s coaching I will be able to attain all of my fitness goals.”

Neahle

“I have been working with Noelle for over a year – she has been truly integral to my overall wellness journey Actually more than integral – she is the spark that set off a number of lifestyle changes and has had such a positive impact on my life. As a trainer, she has successfully managed to make me enjoy working out. She’s not a drill sergeant, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t push you to your limit so that you grow and evolve every session. You can truly tell she wants her clients to succeed and grow in their journey. She takes the time to help me work through obstacles that may be holding me back so we can push past barriers and resorts to tough love when necessary so I can refocus on what I need to do to hit my goals. I feel much stronger and healthier than I have in years, and have managed to both lose weight and keep it off. I surprise myself with what I can do now every session. I’ve also managed to learn a lot about myself and make a more concerted and conscious effort to be healthy. I don’t know what I would do without her!”

Jamie

“Committed, compassionate and an effective communicator- these are just some of the qualities Kern has exhibited throughout our journey together and exactly why I chose him as my coach. With his proactive nature he meets me right where I need him to every time. I can fail on myself time and time again, but he never does. He’s there to remind me of my goals and efforts to refocus my energy and get me through my physical and mental hurdles. More than a coach, he’s a true friend.”

Lindsey & David

“We started training with Kern 10 weeks before our wedding. Neither of us had ever worked with a trainer before and we had very different workout routines. Still, we were committed to doing it together. Kern was able to personalize our sessions, adding weight for David when needed an extra glutes and legs for Lindsey. He even challenged us with partner work. The circuits were creative, never something you could find on YouTube, and a ton of fun. We looked forward to it every week and were very happy with the results. Kern also taught us how to track our macros so that we reached our ideal weights and body shapes by wedding day. As a coach, he is a great teacher, communicator and motivator, Kern is also personable and easy to connect with that we quickly felt like old friends. Our time with Kern exceeded our expectations. So much so, that we continued to train with him long after our wedding!”

Mariana

“I’ve been training with Noelle twice per week for over 3 years. In these sessions we focus mostly on total body strength, where cardio is embedded in many exercises and at the end we do a good stretch. Every workout is different! Thanks to her excellent training philosophy and knowledge of a woman’s body, during this time my body has become overall much stronger, leaner and toned than ever before. I have also gone through a healthy pregnancy, working out safely until the day I went into labor, and recovered fully in little time. Accomplishing this has been a very positive journey for me, because Noelle has managed to motivate me and make me excited about working out! The key, in my view, is the combination of her kindness and personal investment into me, way beyond the call of duty, with a tough and meticulous approach. She expects a lot more out of me than I do, and that makes me get better every day.”

Yanique

“I have been training with Kern for almost 2 years now and I must say I have a love/hate relationship with him. I hate him when he pushes me to do things that I didn’t think I was capable of yet I love him for the very same reason. He pushes you to be the best yet he is extremely friendly and welcoming which makes it a tad bit easier. I can’t thank him enough for getting me back into shape and implementing a healthier lifestyle. Kern is patient yet doesn’t let me take the easy way out and he is dedicated to fitness and nutrition. He is always on time for his appointments and I feel he is committed to my progress as I am. I thank him for believing in me when I didn’t believe in myself :)”

"Such an amazing attitude and inspiring presence! Excited to work with Noelle!"
Andrea
"Kern is such a positive force in the gym. He knows exactly how far to push to the most out your workout. He is great at accommodating and working around injuries as well."

Elisabeth

“I’ve been training with Noelle for almost 2 years now, and she is by far one of the best trainers in the business. Our sessions are constantly changing, incorporating a mix of calisthenics, free weights, machines, and cardio, all of which keeps my body guessing and looking its best. More than outward physical appearance, she is a great motivator for a balanced lifestyle and nutritional wellness. I leave each session exhausted but looking forward to the next.”

Rachel

“I love working out with Noelle twice a week! She constantly challenges me with new routines and is encouraging and passionate about what she does! Her positive spirit and enthusiasm makes our workouts fun, and I always look forward to seeing her. I’ve become a lot stronger and built up much more endurance since starting our training.”

"Noelle is the type of trainer who can motivate you throughout every workout. Each workout she gave me was always different and challenging. As a client of Noelle, it always felt good to know I was working with a trainer who is passionate and positive with helping me to get my results."
Evelyn
"I came to Noelle hoping to get in better shape; thanks to Noelle’s training I am physically stronger than I have ever been. Noelle helps you break through psychological barriers to find an inner strength you didn’t necessarily know you have."
Selim
"I started seeing Noelle after I had my second baby. I needed to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight before the end of my maternity leave. We worked out twice a week and by the time I was back at work I was only 5 lbs away from my pre-pregnancy weight. Two months later I weighed less than I did before pregnancy and was much stronger."
Julie
"I started training with Noelle 8 years ago because I was an out of shape running fanatic and I knew she excelled at track at Temple University. She and Kern push me in ways that I would never have expected especially in terms of core (so necessary) and upper body strength. Always challenging and definitely a well spent hour."
James

Mia

“I have been training with Noelle for 3 years now and I love her tenacity in motivating me beyond what I thought can do. She is focused on helping me achieve my goals and makes every session challenging. My fitness has increased noticeably and I’ve seen improvements in my ability to complete more cardio/core exercises, lift progressively heavier weights & generally push myself harder throughout each session. She helps in addressing my weakest point and work with me in improving my balance. Importantly, she is very good in spotting my techniques and call me on it. I thoroughly enjoy working out with Noelle, would recommend her to anyone who are serious in working out with a goal in improving their fitness and balance. Noelle is a serious Trainer and has a contagious positive energy.”

Susan

“I’ve worked with several personal trainers over the years, but no-one like Kern. He has inspired me to achieve a level of strength and fitness I never imagined I was capable of. At age 57, I am now stronger than I have ever been in my life, and that is 100% thanks to Kern. He is not only extremely knowledgeable about fitness and diet, but also very thoughtful in the way that he has structured my workout so that I can exercise pain-free, despite an old knee injury and arthritis in my shoulder. And Kern always makes the workout fun – even when it is torture! Whatever your current fitness level and your fitness goal, Kern has the knowledge, skills and compassion to help you achieve it.”

"My first session with Noelle was great. She was very attentive to my needs, weaknesses, and took note of the things I really wanted to work on. She's flexible with the scheduling, provided options for gyms to train at since she isn't affiliated with a particular gym, and just overall very nice and easy to communicate with. I am looking forward to having more sessions with her."
Vanesa
"I have been working out with, and supported by, Noelle for over 2 years. She has not only made me stronger, but also reshaped my body to a place where I feel more comfortable and confident in myself. Noelle’s positive energy and creative (ever changing!) workouts keep me motivated and engaged - even on the days I’d rather skip the gym!"
