ABOUT Atomic FItness
ATOMIC EVOLUTION
Atomic Fitness Gym Head Trainer, Lindsay, began her career in fitness training & coaching while living in Milwaukee, WI. She started Empower Fitness in 2007 & personally trained clients out of 2 independent gyms in Milwaukee.
GROWTH
Lindsay moved back to Washington in 2009 & worked at Vision Quest Fitness in Puyallup & Prime Fitness in Bonney Lake before taking the leap & going out on her own again. She learned so much from her experiences at these 2 facilities--she continued her education by learning all she could from other trainers & seminars.
ATOMIC FITNESS GYM
In October 2012, Lindsay was lucky enough to transform her garage in Puyallup at her own house into a functional gym.
This is very excitiing for Lindsay as this opportunity allows her to continue to train for a reasonable cost, expand her client base, and offer a wider variety of equipment & extremely flexible hours.

Testimonials
Serine Liebe, Student of Exercise Science
Lindsay is an elite trainer, a rare gem in the fitness industry, and I had the honor of working with her. Few trainers share her passion, and consequently her ability to motivate you to achieve optimal health through lifestyle changes. Her style is energetic, dynamic, intuitive, and geared towards your own personal needs and goals. Posture and form are critical aspects to training that I see many trainers neglect at the risk of their client’s safety. Lindsay is determined to teach you how to improve your posture and to lift with proper form, and this will prevent injury during training. She stresses the importance of nutrition, and this is crucial to your success in the gym, and all aspects of life. When it comes to nutrition, she speaks with years of education and research behind her, and passes that knowledge on to you. Her 16 years of sports and training experience has made her a versatile trainer with several specialties. She is able train you for sports, strength, flexibility, agility, Olympic lifts, running, sprinting and for function. Lindsay is a life coach, a true leader in change, and leads the life she teaches. She will challenge you to go beyond your own limits, to push yourself, and shows genuine enthusiasm when you succeed. She is absolutely worth the investment in time and funds, for she can change your life. I could not recommend anyone with higher respect.

At 350lbs, diabetes in the family and feeling down about the way i looked, I had to make a change for myself and my family. I worked out and read up on what to eat but wasn't getting the results that i wanted, so I asked for help. Lindsay, of Empower-Fitness-services, helped me change up my diet to better nutrition as well as focusing on what I really wanted to work on, weight loss, gaining lean muscle and endurance. I've worked out with other trainers but didn't get into the drill sargent style of working out, when i work out i want it to be fun not discouraging. Lindsay of Empower-Fitness-Services made it fun, laughter while working out and getting the results to boot makes for an " I can't wait for training day" attitude. I would and do recomend Empower-Fitness-Services for a positive change towards better health.

Anne Wozniak, Physical Therapist
"As a physical therapist, I develop exercise programs for others, but I needed a fresh perspective to jump start me on a weight training program. Lindsay did an excellent job by creating a challenging program to complement my cycling and running.
She is knowledgeable and is safely able to modify programs for those who have injuries to give them a worthwhile workout. I highly recommend her."

Working with Lindsay has changed my life. In 8 short months, I’ve lost a considerable amount of weight & inches, gained strength & feel great! Lindsay has been incredibly supportive & helpful in everything we’ve worked on, including researching, changing & adapting to my vegan lifestyle & belief system. With some education & tweaks to my over-consumption of carbohydrates, she found vegan sources of protein to help in gaining lean muscle mass, lose fat, & have sustained energy. Every time I’ve hit a roadblock, she’s helped come up with an effective solution.
I now fit into my goal jeans I wore in college! I have more energy than ever & I have learned so much about fitness & strength training.
She is a wealth of knowledge &, also, incredibly resourceful on both fitness & nutrition-related topics. She is very easy to get along with--I look forward to our workouts.
I couldn’t ask for a better partner on my journey to get fit--I highly recommend Lindsay as a trainer!”

Jennifer Wheeler, Registered Nurse, Master's in Nursing
I am 33 years old & have struggled with my weight my whole life & have been challenged to find ways to lose weight, not do the extreme things. In 2009, I was out of control. My weight had risen to 326lbs. The misconception that I had, was despite me feeling unhappy internally & externally (finding things that would fit), I was still able to perform many different activities, even completing the Susan G. Komen 3 Day Breast Cancer walk. I didn’t realize how out of control I was, until I was at the gym & other people were training with me. One moment I cannot forget--I was running with others & realized I was the last one to finish. Everyone was cheering me on. You would think that this would be a good thing that people were cheering, but I was devastated. How could I be the last one in this race? If you know, I do not like to lose, I am a fighter, hate not progressing. Funny to look back at where I …I had lost myself, who I truly was & what was about.
Prior to working out with Lindsay, I was working with another trainer. I had developed a shoulder injury & was having difficulty performing any exercises that worked with the arms. I was hesitant to do any exercises because I was afraid that I was going to injure my arm more. I learned that I didn’t have any core strength, through training with Lindsay I have learned how to develop good posture, how to stand & position myself during exercises & build core muscles which feels very different when training. I had also lost weight but felt stagnant in my eating routines & food options--I was struggling to see any change in my weight. During this time, I started physical therapy & received workout limitations that Lindsay followed, along with Lindsay working on my core to build my strength. I also began losing inches & weight.
Since working out with Lindsay there have been a variety of positives. My shoulder is doing well; we have switched up training developing options from working out at a gym to also working out outside. Lindsay continues to keep me accountable, challenges me every time we train to try new workouts & to progress. She encourages me to make other changes in my life & continues to switch my workouts & varies exercises--I am never bored. My food options change daily, vary rarely eating the same kind of food, we talk about new recipes, she watches my calories & my percentage of fats, carbs, & proteins. Lindsay gives me feedback & assists me in creating attainable goals. All this has been awesome for me, but I can tell you that there is not a quick answer to losing weight. There is a lot of hard work involved & daily being reminded of the vision & goal that I want to attain. I can tell you that I am grateful for Lindsay. She has changed my life & continues to push me more than I thought I could. I can’t imagine where I would be if I don’t have Lindsay working with me on my lifetime journey of becoming a healthy woman.

James & Tracy Jester, Business Owners
My husband, James, & I found Lindsay on Craigslist & it has been the best investment we have ever made. We have tried numerous diets over the past 10 years--we lost weight, then gained it back & always end up heavier than ever. We realized we needed someone to teach & coach us how to healthy but with flexibility for our busy life. We also needed a trainer to help us get on an exercise routine that would mold & shape our bodies. Eating right combined with exercise=RESULTS!!
The results we are seeing are so exciting. We would rather cut cable out of our budget, than Lindsay! She has done so much for us!
*In 4 weeks, Tracy lost 15 inches off her body & 10 pounds. In 12 weeks, James lost 25 inches off is body & 25 pounds.

Joe Krisberg, Business Owner
If you are serious about seeing results & ready to work hard, Lindsay is your best choice for personal trainer. Her knowledge, experience, & passion for overall fitness are what any man or woman need to get in shape and see results immediately and long term. She pushes, motivates, & mixes things up, making sure you work your whole body for a total body fitness solution. In less than 3 months, I saw my posture improve, lost over 3 inches off my waist & I am beginning to feel like carved wood. It feels great--I highly recommend Lindsay to anyone who is serious about getting into shape.
*In just 10 sessions, Joe lost 3” off his waist, 2.5” off hips, & added 4.5” of muscle to his legs, shoulders, & arms. He lost 10lbs & added lean muscle mass. He also added 50+ pounds to his bench press & 75 pounds onto his squat & deadlift workouts, while perfecting his form & function of his exercises. Joe was a dedicated client for almost 2 years, until I moved out of state. He continued to see amazing results & has kept these results through the tools & coaching of Atomic Fitness.

I am a college soccer goalie & I needed to gain more strength, power, & quickness. Lindsay developed a program for my specific needs--all of these areas have improved--at the same time, I have lost fat & gained muscle tone. She keeps workouts fun, interesting, & fast-paced.
I’d also been nursing a shoulder injury--Lindsay made sure I performed all my exercises correctly, with perfect form. I have gained more flexibility & strength in my shoulder, while reducing pain.
I went back to school feeling confident & strong. Lindsay keeps training exciting through her positive attitude & motivation.
