“I've been training with Moorea and can confidently say she's a phenomenal personal trainer, especially for anyone into powerlifting. Not only is Moorea talented and experienced, but she also makes every session enjoyable and engaging. What stands out the most is her attentiveness; she's incredibly present and focused during workouts, ensuring that each set is performed with optimal form and efficiency.
Moorea's depth of knowledge is evident as she seamlessly integrated input from my physical therapist regarding a recent injury. Her skillful adaptations allow me to continue my workouts while rehabilitating effectively. Working with Moorea is a pleasure, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking to enhance their fitness journey with a supportive and expert guide.”

“I am so grateful to have found a coach who is genuinely dedicated to helping others achieve their highest potential. As both a physician and competitive athlete, I have learned that strength is so much more than moving weights in the gym. Strength is just as much mental as it is physical and Moorea is very gifted at addressing both aspects with her targeted programming.

Moorea is truly one of a kind. She has helped me achieve my training goals and take my performance to a whole new level. I am so excited to see everything this relationship will continue to build for myself and my patients. Thank you, Moorea, for keeping me strong and injury-free so that I can do what I love!”

“If you’re looking to get strong, Moorea is your girl! I have been weightlifting for a few years but I was recently interested in getting into the sport of powerlifting. I signed up for a 3 month training program with Moorea and during that time she taught me everything I needed to know to reach my full potential, and I have gone on to win multiple powerlifting competitions. If competing is your goal, or even if you’d just like to put on some muscle and gain confidence in the gym, I’d highly recommend training with Moorea!”

“Nothing but good things to say! Decided I wanted to compete in Powerlifting. I was strong with no purpose. Moorea came highly recommended. I see why now! Took time to understand my goals and current fitness level.

I’m an online client. I saw some big gains in Moorea’s 12-Week program, and since moving into custom programming, has helped focus on & build up “problem areas” while still building strength. Moorea is extremely knowledgeable of the body and overall fitness, and has been a great resource. The check ins in custom programming have helped to resolve any speed bumps in training.

I’m the strongest I’ve been in my life and it’s been 5 months. Looking forward to putting in more work.”

“I came to Moorea in the fall of 2020 looking to get stronger and - hopefully - move with a little less pain. Having herniated two lumbar discs and separated my shoulder in the last few years - I was a little concerned that weight lifting was "not for me." I cannot overstate how wrong I was. Moorea worked with me in an intelligent and educated manner. Always aware of my injuries (and my personality type, which tends to want to push push push) she kept me challenged and safe. 

I went from barely being able to squat, bench and deadlift a bar only (and had difficulty with that) to routinely bench pressing over 100 lbs as well as seeing major improvements in my other lifts. So - at 49 years old, I am more of a badass than I have ever been - and Moorea is, like, 89% responsible for that. 

The unexpected gift that weight lifting and Moorea has provided me with is the kindness, compassion, and emotional support I needed to face some daunting personal challenges over the past year. Even on my worst days, the knowledge that I am strong, capable - and can move heavy objects keeps me kicking! 
Oh - and my back pain is gone!!! So there's that too!!”

“I have had the opportunity to train with Moorea in many different applications. She has been my coach, my client, a professional peer, and now truly a close friend. I cannot say enough about how in any situation Moorea has always pleasantly surprised me with the effort, determination, and dedication that she devotes to this lifestyle. I have trusted Moorea with both my own coaching and working with my personal clients. This speaks to me because it not only reflects how much I value her knowledge and mindset within this sport, but also fully trust her with my own client’s well being.

I am always happy to recommend Moorea. I have always enjoyed seeing her clients empowered and stronger than they ever thought possible. She really impacts the lives of the people she trains, and that is the essence of her as a coach. Training with her is not just about the gym, but also about life.”

“My journey with Moorea started in late Sept of 2021. I was at a turning point in my life, and I wanted to make a life change for my health. I started looking at available gyms in my area. I was most impressed with AAW Gym and the trainers that they had available. I was so nervous to make that first call and meet one of the trainers in person. I was 52 years old, overweight, and not healthy.

I met Moorea for the first time during a consultation appointment. I met her in the afternoon, had a good feeling about her, and let her know that night that I was ready to start my life-changing journey!

She has been so supportive and encouraging throughout this entire process with me. I continue to improve my eating habits, weight loss, and strength. My new life change has encouraged my loved ones to improve theirs as well. She continues to surprise me with new and innovative techniques that I would never think of doing for myself. She is my training coach and my friend for life! Moorea has a caring spirit and is making a difference in many lives.”

“Moorea Boardman is an amazing coach. Both my husband and myself have had the privilege of working with Moorea. She strives to help you reach far past your goals both physically and mentally. I have seen tremendous growth in the time my husband has been personal training with Moorea. She is a total rockstar. I would recommend her to anyone, no matter what their personal fitness journey is — she will help you smash your goals!!!”

“My coach Moorea Boardman is incredible. If you’re a strength athlete and want to take things to the next level, there’s no other choice. After I blew my left knee out last year, Moorea worked very hard to rehab my knee, along with physical and physiotherapy… I’m back competing again. The secret to adding 200lbs to my powerlifting total in 6 months was Reese’s cups… and Moorea’s programming.“

“A friend recommended Moorea with over-the-top enthusiasm. Now I'm waving my arms (very muscular, toned arms) to let you know, she is a powerhouse trainer! I came to her with mostly general fitness goals and 1 specific goal, strong mid-life lady arms...check! My thirteen-year old son also trains with Moorea. His goal, Arnold Schwarzenegger. My goal as a mom: learn good form, don't get hurt. We both love the results we've seen and working with Moorea has been an exceptional experience!”

“I met Moorea many years ago in a P.O.T.S. support group after being diagnosed with Dysautonomia, and have been following her for the better part of a decade. Moorea has always been a rock for me, even in some of my darkest days. She has literally saved my life more than once, without even knowing it. When everyone else had given up on me, she was still there to encourage me and to help in any way she could. She is raw, honest, dependable and will absolutely help you in ways you won’t see coming. Believe me when I say that you won’t be disappointed in her, because she is absolutely incredible.”

“Moorea is extremely knowledgeable, personable, passionate, and committed to helping you achieve your goals. Whatever they may be.

At the start of the year, I was prepping for a Powerlifting meet, and I reached out to Moorea about being my coach/handler for the meet in April. Without any hesitation, she agreed. She reached out to me when the date got closer, and we went over certain cues, things to look for, numbers for each attempt, and anything else I could possibly need. With a plan set in place, I felt very confident about going into the meet.

Literally, there is only one word for how the meet went and how I performed: Amazing! And I could not have done it without Moorea. Her instinct and decision-calling was incredibly spot on for each attempt, and I hit all my lifts. I went 9/9 for my first meet back after taking two years off. I was having a great day, and it could have been an easy call to go heavier on some attempts and risk missing the lift, but Moorea was very calculated in choosing the attempts and I hit them all. Just a wonderful day and experience.

Again, I am so incredibly thankful that I reached out to Moorea. There is no doubt in my mind that I wouldn’t have done that good without her there.”
