Client Success Stories

"Working with Charla has been an absolute game changer for me. She's not just a trainer—she's a coach, a cheerleader, and honestly, a whole vibe. From the moment I started with her at Matt Brown Coaching, I felt seen and supported. She meets you where you're at, but pushes you in a way that's empowering, not intimidating. Her energy is unmatched, her programming is thoughtful, and she genuinely cares. I've grown so much physically and mentally since training with her, and I actually look forward to our sessions (which says a lot coming from me!). I trust her, and I know she's in this with me—not just for me to look good, but to feel good too. Charla's the kind of trainer that makes you believe in yourself even on the days you don't feel like showing up. I couldn't ask for better."

"I started training with Charla in March, and I can honestly say she has completely changed the way I feel about fitness. I'm stronger, more motivated, and I feel amazing—physically and mentally. Charla has a gift for making workouts something I actually look forward to. Her energy, encouragement, and genuine passion for what she does have made all the difference. Thanks to her, I don't just work out—I want to work out. I'm so grateful for everything she's helped me achieve so far!"

"Training with Charla has truly been one of the best decisions I've made for my fitness journey. I came in wanting to grow my glutes and get in shape, and she's supported me every step of the way with a perfect balance of encouragement, expertise, and energy. What I love most is that she's so down to earth — she makes every session feel comfortable, yet pushes you just enough to keep improving. She explains everything clearly, customizes workouts to your goals, and always makes you feel like she's genuinely invested in your progress. Plus, her energy is contagious — she's always singing, cracking jokes, and keeping the vibe positive even when the workouts are tough. You leave each session feeling stronger, more confident, and honestly in a better mood. Charla isn't just a trainer — she's a coach, a cheerleader, and someone who makes fitness feel fun and achievable. I can't recommend her enough!"

"I met Charla about 4 months ago. I was motivated to try something different to see what kind of changes I could make. I was leading in to a vacation so I had a bit of extra motivation but would have been there nonetheless. We discussed my goals and made a few adjustments to my food to start. I showed up twice a week without fail. After a few weeks additional adjustments were made to my food. Nothing major but I actually was struggling to eat enough calories so protein was increased. I had a follow up doctors appointment about 8 weeks in to this new program with Charla. I had lost a few pounds but had dropped 5% body fat! What!!!! I'm 53. I couldn't believe it and neither could my doctor. Super motivating to say the least. Now to talk about Charla herself…. She is one of the nicest humans, she genuinely wants her clients to succeed. She meets you where you are and knows when to push and when to work around injuries or limitations while still making progress. I adore her!"

"If you want to work smarter, not harder, workout with Charla. I've never seen this much result in such a short time. I get compliments daily + my strength and confidence have skyrocketed."

"There are people who walk into your life and completely change the game — mind, body, and soul. For me, that person is Charla. When I started this journey, I was just hoping to feel better in my body. What I didn't expect was to become the strongest, most confident, and most aligned version of myself — inside and out. 💪💫 Charla didn't just train me physically — she transformed the way I see myself. She pushed me when I doubted myself, believed in me when I couldn't, and reminded me that I'm capable of so much more than I ever imagined. Thanks to her, I'm not just in the best shape of my life — I'm living with clarity, purpose, and power. And that is priceless. 🧠💥💖 Forever grateful for you, Charla. Thank you for helping me find her — the version of me I was always meant to become. 👑✨"

"Before training with Charla, I had not set foot into a gym in almost 7 years. After I had my kids I just lost all motivation to be active and once it had been long enough then I was too embarrassed. Embarrassed of my body but also my lack of knowledge when using the equipment. Charla kept me challenged but made sure to keep me going at a pace I could maintain. Now the gym doesn't feel so scary and Charla still helps me without making me feel silly when I'm learning new things. Now I'm in the gym 3-4 days a week and feeling so much better about not only my body but my confidence has gotten so much better while working out with Charla!!"

"I cannot recommend Charla enough! From day one, she has been incredibly supportive, motivating, and kind. When I met Charla I had not been to the gym in quite a while. Instead of making me feel bad about it she encouraged me at every step and helped me regain my strength physically and mentally. She takes the time to explain things, correct your form, and pushes you to be the best version of you! Her motivation and positive energy make each session fun and productive. Charla is a gem! Truly a game changer for all fitness levels!"

"Char has honestly been an angel. I'm so glad that our paths have crossed. I'm getting older and wanted to add more weights into my life. She's always watching. Char, not only corrects your form but, also explains to you why. I get excited to come in and workout out again. I love my new routine with The Matt Brown Gym. The best equipment I've yet to find in a gym, that's no lie! If you're on the fence, give it a try. You won't regret it… Everyone needs a Char in their life :) X O -Jen Reinhold"

"As someone who has never done strength training before, Charla has been a wonderful and patient instructor. She's made sure I understood the fundamentals of each exercise and provided me with variations I can do at home. Charla's also helped me with nutrition and meal planning and given guidance on supplements. After six months, I have seen huge improvements in my body composition and strength level that I have never achieved working out by myself."

"Charla has shown a very deep understanding for exactly what I need as a client in order to reach my goals. She is incredibly knowledgeable, not just about the work we do inside the gym, but also about my nutrition outside of the gym... and this has been my biggest area of focus. When I have followed her guidance, I have seen excellent results. She knows exactly how to push her clients and I am very grateful that I found her. If you want results, this is your person!!!"

"I cannot recommend Charla highly enough! She always pushes me but makes it interesting as well. We rotate between certain focuses on the body depending on the season. As a new 50 year old, I'm seeing results not seen in over 5 years. She's always a breath of fresh air which helps me get through the 5 am workouts. She is simply the best trainer I've ever worked with."

"When I found Charla, I was looking for a change to my typical gym routine that was no longer serving me. I had never had a personal trainer before and was going to the gym not really knowing what to do and feeling intimidated by equipment I did not know how to use. I wanted someone who understood my goals. As a woman in my 40s, I want to make sure I am strong as I age so that I can build muscle to support my bones. Charla gets it. She's a coach in every sense of the word. She holds me accountable and doesn't allow me to say I can't do something. She takes the time to explain what muscles each exercise is working, corrects my form, and plans a routine catered to you personally. State of the art equipment, and a fun friendly welcoming community of people in a gym I look forward to going to. No intimidation."

"Charla is the best! I started training with her in person two days a week back in July 2025 and have never looked back. She's pushed me to achieve goals and lift weights that I never thought were possible. I also train two days a week using her app and love the balance and flexibility I have with in person and online sessions. I look forward to my mornings with Charla every single week!"

"Training with Charla has been an amazing experience from day one! I walked in to train and hadn't worked out in 10 years. I was intimidated, out of shape and had horrible eating habits. After just 3 months my lifestyle and motivation had completely changed. I owe that to Charla! She is your number one fan and genuinely CARES. She is motivating, knowledgeable, and always pushes me to do my best while keeping workouts fun. I've gotten stronger and more confident, and I actually look forward to our work outs!"
