I have been working out with Emile for over 3 years.  Out of all of the trainers that I have had over the past 10 years, I have seen the most results working out at SMX.  I love the efficiency of the workouts and clear progress that I have made during my tenure.  Several of my friends now work out at SMX as well, and agree that their results are far superior to previous methods or gyms.  All of the trainers are skilled and professional and can adjust workouts to your specific needs.  Whether I am training for a race or pregnant (like right now) my workouts are tailored to my unique situation.  If you are busy but want results through efficient workouts, SMX is the only gym you will need!!

In 30 minutes, I complete the circuit, using a creative variety of modern and comfortable exercise equipment.The trainers are uniquely qualified, user-friendly, and highly ethical.  In fact, I look forward to both the visit and the benefits that I receive at SMX.  Because my personal trainer keeps a log of each session, there’s no need for me to track my progress.As a 12 year client, I highly recommend this fantastic personal training exercise program!”

I met Cheryl after 3 heart attacks, 6 vessel open heart surgery, and two strokes.  I didn’t believe in “Personal Trainers”.  I thought of them as an indulgence for the wealthy and pampered.  I was wrong.  Cheryl, despite my concerns about my compromised physical condition,
worked with me to help me restore my health.  I’ve lost 50 lbs. I’ve been working with her and am on my way to becoming more physically fit.  She has tracked my weight and my exercise.  She gave me a diet book to read which I skimmed and which helped me to adopt a healthier diet.  She pushes me forward in exercise to the point of failure sometimes.   She has learned many important lessons through her own experience and shared some of them with me.  One of the most important was that there is no shame in exercising to the point of failure.
It is from our failures that we build up to our gains.  I would recommend her to anyone.

Marie Anne is overall a magnificent trainer who has a passion for her work. She is a kind-hearted, joyful spirit with a tough, encouraging side. I call her  Superwoman. Mary Anne has been a huge motivation and pushes me to be the best I can be. She demonstrates and supports healthy eating habits. I am constantly receiving compliments about my appearance and my confidence is at an all time high. Her unique techniques and perseverance are the perfect combination for a personal trainer. She has many valuable qualities that enable her to be a super professional, such as her leadership and experience.  She can guide you where you want to be and keep you motivated and thrilled about the results that are soon to follow.

“As someone who has been training over 10 years, I’m impressed with not only Emile’s training skills but his educational understanding of how each routine in the exercise impacts the body.  His dedication and commitment to each individual he trains makes exercising enjoyable.”

My wife started training weight training with Emile Tujague in 1997. She felt so much better and stronger that I began training with Emile also. I was surprised by my increased strength, stamina, and confidence. How such a short, but intense workout can produce such results so quickly is amazing. At our age to have muscle strength and tone keeps us feeling and looking younger. SMX provides a great workout for men and women of all ages to stay fit and strong and able to get the groceries up the stairs and suitcases out of the trunk.

“I’ve been training with Marie Anne since 2005 and couldn’t imagine anyone else as my personal trainer. She is always upbeat, always encouraging. Rather than just go through the motions with me–after all, by year ten with a client, it would be understandable–she begins each session by asking how I feel, is there anything she needs to know about, anything hurting such that she should modify the session? If my left knee hurts, she makes the proper adjustment. Not to say that Marie Anne is a soft touch–I’m there to work out and it’s her job to get the best out of me. But she does it with a smile and an upbeat attitude that makes workouts with her a pleasure, not drudgery!”

In 2011 I began training with Marie-Anne Delourme on a weekly basis. Prior to meeting Marie-Anne I had never stuck to any exercise regimen for four months, much less four years. I believe that Marie-Anne is truly interested in my good health. She’s always prepared, always pushing me to the next level. Marie-Anne’s commitment to my improvement has challenged me; her attitude and encouragement have kept me going and brought me back to train, week after week. Marie-Anne Delourme is everything a great personal trainer should be.

I have been working out with Emile once or twice a week for over 14 years. These workout sessions are a major part of my fitness routine. There is no substitute for this type of training. With SMX’s expert supervision, I am always progressing, and I have never been injured. I plan on working out at SMX until I cannot lift anymore.
