“With all the personal trainers out there focused on what’s on the outside, Tammy de Laforest of Warrior Wellness focuses completely on what’s on the INSIDE. Because of this, she is and always will be the only trainer I fully trust and admire.

She is the only trainer I have ever had that learns exactly what my fears are, what my habits are, and what I’m thinking day in and day out. She takes my emotions and my mental inhibitions and uses them to find out what motivates me.

I have days where I get down on myself, or don’t feel motivated, and the first moment she sees me, sh can sense it. The first question she asks is “How are you feeling today?” That is the kind of thing that truly matters to me, after days or weeks of training. It’s easy to shout out “One more round!” or stand there holding a clip board and barking out orders, but Tammy refuses to use negativity, or aggressive training styles. Everything I am taught is custom tailored to my abilities, personality, and my own paces.

Tammy leads entirely by example, and it is awe-inspiring watching her work. She is always in the gym, and always 100% focused on her clients. In between training her clients, Tammy works equally as hard on herself. Watching her train melts away any thoughts of the word “impossible from my brain. The effort, the intensity, and the pure unadulterated energy she puts in to her craft proves just how attainable success can be.

I encourage athletes of any age, gender, size, shape, or fitness level to meeting Tammy de Laforest, and to try Warrior Wellness for yourselves. Especially if you are looking to break away from the millions of trainers focused entirely on what’s in the mirror. Tammy will show you something you may never see in the mirror and that is inner acceptance, self worth, and an unshakable confidence.”

“Tammy has been a wonderful addition to our weekly fitness/wellness classes we provide for our residents here at Wintergreene. Her level of knowledge and expertise in adapting the yoga class to suit seniors is phenomenal. I have witnessed firsthand the positive impact her classes are having on the residents that attend regularly. Classes have also grown in popularity and size, so much so that we often have up to 18 residents attending and expanded to two classes per week. I would highly recommend Tammy to teach senior populations in our local community.”

Tammy is outstanding master of her craft; from our first session, I knew she was different than the rest of the personal trainers I had worked with. She was not only knowledgeable, caring and fun—Tammy walks the talk and goes the extra mile to make sure you are happy with her service. She provides a perfect combination of tough and warm (when she encourages you to believe in yourself). Tammy de Laforest is brimming with the brains to help ANYONE achieve their personal goals. ”

“Tammy de Laforest is such an awesome teacher and mentor. If there is any part of your being that needs healing, be it your body or mind, she is your guide.”

“I am so happy with how boxing has helped my daughter both personally and physically. The teenage years are especially hard on young women...I thought what a better thing for a 16 year old frustrated girl than being able to hit something and get her anger out. We went from ballet to boxing and since we made the switch, she has started to be more aware of what actually makes one strong and able. Tammy’s philosophies are so empowering that whether the student realizes it or not the message is seeping through their minds as their bodies strengthen. I am very grateful that we are working with Tammy and couldn’t wish for a better role model for our daughter. ”

“Tammy is the most inspiration woman I’ve met...She’ll take care of your physical, mental, and spiritual health. There is always a place in my heart for her.”

“My hypnosis sessions with Tammy have been beneficial both in the short and long term. Just from my first session with Tammy, I had a feeling, as can best describe, as a weight or burden that was lifted from my conscious mind and has not returned. Over the several other sessions, Tammy taught me great visualizations for helping dealing with stress, as well as, helping with calming the mind before bed. Before starting hypnosis I was very skeptical about if I was able to be put in to the hynpotic state but Tammy’s approach and calming personality were key factors in helping in the process. There are many aspects that hypnosis can help and I would suggest seeing Tammy for any problems that you would need helping resolving”

”It takes a lot of trust to let someone walk around in your brain.
Tammy took the time to create trust and respect in the relationship before the sessions began. That’s important. For me, the hypnotherapy process created a calm space - allowing my brain to have some deep thinking and processing time.
There’s strength to tap into, there, in those uncharted regions of your mind.”

”Tammy De Laforest has been my personal trainer for over 2 years now. Not only does she train me in the physical aspect of working out such as kickboxing, and yoga but also benefits my mind through hypnosis. I was always skeptical about hypnosis but after I learned that she was certified in hypnosis I added some sessions to my monthly schedule with her. The benefits of hypnosis have been incredible. I used to overthink everything and have trouble sleeping at night. I also struggled with bouts of anxiety and since focusing our sessions on these topics I now feel so much better and relieved. The changes I have seen include the following: Clear thought patterns, well rested, positive mindset, anxiety has subsided and my daily motivation has increased drastically. Tammy is such a pleasure to goal set with and she truly cares about her clients needs. I am very thankful to have found such a talented diverse personal trainer and would recommend anyone to contact her to set up their own personal plan.”
