Client Testimonials

"The more time you spend on the planet, the more you realize that some people just have a gift. You helped me with a back problem that I've had since a car wreck when I was in high school. I hate pumping down Advil and surgery doesn't guarantee success. At first, taking your therapeutic yoga classes eased my back pain. Then, working the core was trimming me down and adding strength and flexibility My lower back is the best it’s been in many years. An added bonus is my golf shots are longer, a lot longer. I can't thank you enough for the new me…and helping me stay a little younger and stronger!"

I have trained with Roseann for more than a decade…private training as well as yoga, pilates and spin group classes. She is gentle and intuitive, sensitive to my physical limitations and great fun to work with. Every workout is tailored to and amended as needed by her clients. I appreciate her kind, genuine and engaging demeanor which is demonstrated in every encounter I have had through the years…

Roseann is the best personal trainer and teacher I have ever had! She understands our basic issues and she encourages us to listen to our bodies. She is incredibly knowledgeable and has walked the talk! Because of Roseann I am able to do all the activities I love, tennis, golf and some running. She is the best!

I absolutely love taking core classes with Roseann. She is very specific on how to do the exercises and guides you on when to inhale and exhale so you get the most benefits from each movement. I especially love that each class is unique and she does such a variety of exercises so you never get bored!!

It has been my privilege to have Roseann Zaft as my trainer for almost 20 years. During that time she has always amazed me with her perception of my fitness requirements and needs, always sensitive to my personal restrictions and age. Her explanations and demonstrations of exercise routines were clear, helpful and innovative. She is an excellent trainer.

My husband and I have worked out with Roseann on a regular basis up at our workout fitness center. When the Coronavirus started we had to self-quarantine. We were afraid we would have to miss our workouts with Roseann. To the contrary! I think our workouts are even better and never boring doing them with Roseann on ZOOM. Roseann has also helped me with diet and nutrition. I can say unquestionably, that we will continue our workouts, when we are back in Chicago for the summer. Roseann is a gift for anyone who wants to stay in healthy shape.

I have worked with Roseann in both group settings as well as privately, and now, virtually. She explains everything well so that I can follow instructions at home easily. In class, she walked around making corrections as she saw fit. In her private sessions, she always challenged me and pushed me for those extra reps. And most important, she actually got me to exercise on a regular basis and enjoy it. She’s got a great personality!!!

"I have been a client of Roseann for the past 2 years working with her on a one basis with Pilates. I suffered from a bulging disc and tried many different programs to permit me to be able to play golf. Of all the many programs I tried and the many people I worked with none have provided me the assistance or remediation of my condition as Roseann has done for me."

- Mickey B.

"Roseann got me back on track after injuries that made me very lazy. I trust that the form that she watches even online help me strengthen and make it possible to bicycle, golf and hike. I feel strong again."

- Diane M.

"I have been attending yoga classes with Roseann for over 10 years. Roseann’s knowledge of the human body allows her to teach in a way that works for each individual in her classes. In times where I’ve had different limitations, Roseann has always been able to give me individualized modifications that will work (and in some cases, help) those limits in my body’s movement. I’ve worked less with Roseann in a 1:1 situation for personal training, but when I have, it’s been to address a specific issue/weakness I was hoping to address - and each time, she has helped me back to health/strength."

- Debra P.

"Roseann has an amazing ability to assess the needs of those in her yoga classes. She then incorporates and blends those needs into a wonderful session. At the end of a yoga session, everyone feels the positive energy and that the helpful moves will make their day better. After a couple years with her yoga guidance, I am much more flexible. I can move my left shoulder further than any time in the last 50 years - and my golf game is better for it."

- Mike T.

"Roseann is one of the best trainers in Phoenix. She is a highly skilled professional as both a trainer and nutritionist, a wonderful listener and expertly customizes workouts to meet her customer’s goals and issues. Roseann’s energy and enthusiasm are infectious — she is committed to my success. My sessions with Roseann are both motivational and challenging — I look forward to each workout.

I’ve been working with Roseann for almost a year; initially to address painful back issues. Not only is my back significantly improved but my strength, flexibility and balance has also become an important part of my training. This has been a wonderful journey towards improving my health and fitness.

- Pat M.

"Roseann is a wonderful trainer. She is able to work with people of all ages and fitness levels, and she has a broad repertoire of fitness methods. In addition, she is encouraging and kind. I would definitely recommend her to family and friends. "
