Testimonials

Rummy is an absolute game-changer. Her diverse and creative training formats are invigoratingly next level. Compassionate and empowering, Rummy utilizes a motivational interview therapeutic style- meeting the client where they are at, then inspiring them to achieve higher performance levels. Rummy takes a personal interest in each and every client. Her comprehensive fitness approach covers not only physical fitness but also addresses emotional, spiritual and nutritional wellness. Rummy has certainly changed my life for the better.

I was reluctant to try Mana Fitness because I have tried personal trainers in the past and have usually found them underwhelming. I had watched Rummy's personal journey to fitness and found it to be inspiring. If I am going to receive coaching, I prefer to receive it from someone who has also undergone a self-improvement journey. I cannot express my gratitude enough to Rummy, my trainer, for the incredible journey she has guided me through. Her expertise, dedication, and motivational support have been instrumental in helping me achieve my fitness goals. With her personalized workouts and insightful guidance, I've seen remarkable progress in my strength, endurance, and overall health. Her positive attitude and ability to adapt to my needs make each session enjoyable and effective. I highly recommend MANA Fitness to anyone looking for a dedicated partner in their fitness journey.

I've known Rummy since we were both much younger but hadn't seen her beautiful face in a long time. I feel like the universe brought us together again at just the right time for me. I was battling menopausal weight gain and feeling at an all-time low about myself. Struggling and not knowing where to begin to change. I was stuck and very very sad.

One day dropping my dog off at daycare in walks that beautiful smiling face. She told me of her fitness journey, and how she was now helping others, so I signed up. From the beginning, she was present, invested in my success, was patient and kind, taught me about proper form, not quitting, and having a plan and even made adjustments for me when I broke my ankle. She was a source of unwavering encouragement and support. Her guidance set me on a journey to finding myself again. She's a gift to connect with, and if I hadn't moved out of town, I'd still be seeing her weekly. She is knowledgeable, kind, determined, supportive and funny. She's just an all-around gem of a human being. I highly recommend Mana Fitness and Nutrition to anyone looking to make a positive change in their life.

Love you, Rummy!!

Rummy is a wonder! She has been training me since February 2022, and I am so pleased with my progress. I am stronger and feel so much better about my fitness. She is motivating without being pushy and never makes you feel badly about how you look or your abilities. She is relatable and understands when things go off the rails, and motivates you to get back on track. Progress not perfection is what she believes.

She is kind and easygoing but not a pushover! Never the same workout twice (amazing), she spends her “free time” preparing workouts for clients. She is easy-going and hardworking, and I love her sense of humour (we laugh throughout our workouts), and she runs her business with integrity. You absolutely can’t go wrong working with Rummy!

Hello, my name is Farbod. I have struggled most of my life with mental health and addiction.

To my great surprise, I found out that the treatment facility, through a personal fitness trainer, offered an intense short burst cardio circuit incorporating multiple movements, core and stability training. Intro Rummy Black, our trainer and overall get back to the basics and learn healthy routine structure through a fun 8-10 station boot camp. Now, I must admit I thought I would not only benefit but excel in her course. I was humbled that 1st class but received the encouragement I needed to push myself and successfully finish the intense session, barely lol. Rummy is generous, very positive, and has vast knowledge and expertise in many training disciplines. She provides basic to intermediate to advanced movements for any skill level of fitness. She motivated us, pushed us and guided us in a supportive and positive environment. I not only got fit but learned many new ways to train in the gym and it sparked the fire I needed to get back to doing something healthy. I now spend at least 1-2 days training resistance in the gym and go to the pool for laps once a week. What's more, I stretch for 1-2 hours every night, and all this I credit to Rummy's class and her positive approach to training clients. I would recommend this to any addict needing motivation to not only get healthier but develop structure and healthy routines through consistency and discipline to ensure they give themselves the best chance for sustained abstinence and sobriety.

Being a part of "Miss Rummy's" Boot Camp has truly transformed my life in ways I never imagined. Not only has it helped me get stronger and healthier physically, but it's played a huge role in my recovery from drugs and alcohol. The workouts push me to my limits, but they also give me a sense of purpose and control over my body and mind. The positive environment here has been a massive boost to my spirit and mental health. A huge part of this journey has been the incredible support and inspiration from Rummy, the owner. She's not just a great trainer—she's become a close friend who genuinely cares about each person's progress and well-being. Her encouragement and belief in me have made all the difference. This Boot Camp is so much more than fitness; it's about finding strength, building a community, helping others come by showing them results and reclaiming your life. I can't recommend this Boot Camp enough—it's truly life-changing!

I have struggled with addiction for both my teenage and adult years. Once I entered recovery from substance use, food became my new crutch. I already had terrible eating habits and was now eating far too much. These habits caused a diagnosis of both high cholesterol and type 1 Diabetes. A close friend recommended Rummy to me so I could start managing my diet, lose weight, and learn the importance of fitness for both my physical and mental health. Since day one, Rummy has been encouraging and knowledgeable and has become my number-one cheerleader. With her help and guidance over the last two years, I have lost a significant amount of weight, and both my cholesterol and diabetes are under control. Thank you, Rummy! Not only have you helped to add years to my life, but you have become a valued and treasured friend!
