A few years ago I purchased a gift card as a wedding gift for my best friend Loni. Loni bought her beautiful gown intentionally--well--way too small! The plan was motivational. She wanted to trim down dramatically for her special day. This turned into a race to the finish. Loni worked out five days per week and Janell put her on a strict diet for three months. Somehow, Janell made it all so fun--and created special memories for the three of us that will never be forgotten. It brought us close in a special way. We shared not only sweat but laughs too. Janell made success of the dress and was honored to participate as a bridesmaid in the ceremony. --Trish D.

It began with a high school reunion. I was Home Coming Queen 30 years ago--and yes--I'll admit I wanted to look my best. I began training with Janell with this specific event in mind. And fifteen years later I am still a client. As a result we have reached many goals together. I consider my overall health managed to the best of its ability. I have since kept my genetic predisposition for diabetes in the rear view mirror. When I got married, I could choose the dress ins...tead of having my choices limited. On the honeymoon, my two-piece looked fantastic! Our fitness program initially was for a short term goal that was so successful with three times a week sessions--why quit? Janell keeps me going. (She can be very persistent.) I am still going strong with confidence! Thanks, Janell, for flying with my busy schedule all these years and making it possible. Not only do I feel half my age but I'm told I look it too! --Sue J. See more

"Being of a 'certain age', I found myself in a state of health that I felt was unsatisfactory. I saw Janell's ad for seniors to triple your strength in three months. I decided to call and am very glad I did! I committed to 3 times a week and have been pleased with the results and also how Janell 'tailored' exercises for me specifically. I had been unable to get up from the ground before and also wanted to build my bone density. I am very pleased with her and her private studio!" - Linda W.

"If you are seeking a personal custom-fit training program, Janell is IT. Assessing your needs, goals and current physical condition, she will develop and implement a personal program for you. You cannot go wrong--and Janell is a lot of fun. Try it!" - Howard E.

"There are numerous health spas in the Santa Cruz area, but there is only one Fitness Prescription. That is because Janell Martin Emberson not only provides expert conditioning exercises, but advice on diet and healthy life styles. I’ve been a client for nearly 10 years, and I consider her the best of the best." - Barry S.

"I started training with Janell Martin Emberson over a dozen years ago, at the suggestion of my chiropractor. At that time I was in my thirties, somewhat overweight, not very strong. Not your usual weightlifter! Janell started working with me in her calm, nonjudgemental way, carefully showing me how to use her excellent equipment in a way that would cause neither strain nor injury. The full bodystrength I have developed and maintain with her help has made a fundamental differ...ence in my life; I now bike, dance ballet, run and lift with fun and joy and without significant injury. I see others my age (I am nearly fifty now) with bodies that are beginning to let them down, but mine hums along as easily as it ever has! Even though I have now probably been in her gym a thousand times, the workouts are never boring and the facility is spotless and well-maintained. Janell’s happy attitude and deep professional knowledge make my workouts not the chore that they are for most people, but an energizing push to my day." - Gabrielle A.

"Janell is a truly excellent trainer. She is the perfect combination of tough ("Janell, you are killing me!) and kind ("Nehal, you are doing so well!"). Janell is passionate about fitness and it shows through the energy and enthusiasm she brings to every session. She motivates me to push past my preconceived limits to get results. If you are serious about changing your life for the better, Janell will lead you every step of the way. I recommend her without reservation! Thank you, Janell! You are the best" - Nehal

"I came to Fitness Prescription to get in better shape for my son's wedding last fall. I stay because Janell gives me customized workout challenges and warm, compassionate support. I have experienced huge improvements in my functional fitness and my overall health. Thanks, Janell!" - Liz C.

"Janell has been my personal trainer for 10 years. Under her guidance I have become stronger and more fit all around. I am 92 years old now and am stronger and healthier than most women my age." - Bobbie T. (Bobbie is actually stronger than many women 30 years younger than she is. She can do over 300 leg presses! - Janell)

"I've been working out with Janell for more than 12 years now. It's an essential part of my fitness program and has kept me in shape for skiing, sailing and an active life. I've even lost 30 lbs. Janell is very knowledgeable regarding fitness training and has a convenient, comfortable feeling and well equipped facility. She's easy to work with and she's very aware and responsive to individual needs and limitations, whether they're short term, long term or age related. If you're looking to achieve fitness at a place that's not 'locker room' oriented, this is it." - Eric. B.
