My Mission: To make fitness fun, and healthy nutrition easy!

Whether we are walking, running, working out, eating or a little of everything — We have fun! We challenge ourselves and strive to be better than yesterday.

We are a group of women who like to walk and/​or run. Many of our members started out not having ever run or walked for fitness before. We cater to beginning to intermediate fitness enthusiasts, and those who are ready for a healthy change in their lives but aren’t sure how to go about it. We have had members participate in their first ever 5k’s, 10k’s, activity based events, half marathons, and marathons. These are challenges for us, and a time to have fun and show off new found strength and confidence.

The Gems are coached by nationally certified athletic trainers, licensed massage therapists, and licensed & certified nutrition experts. Our members stay injury-​free and safely challenge ourselves.

Current Locations: Austin & Dallas

History

Established in 2008.

Since 2004, I have consistently host a line of group fitness and nutrition classes designed to make fitness fun, and eating healthier easy. through Healthy Meals. I adopted the same methods I learned from my personal trainer and nutritionist in 2003. Learning these skills helped me lose 73 pounds in 4 months. Something I had struggled with for years before being taught how easy it can be. Any change in habit is hard, but it doesn’t have to feel impossible!

After being hit with the economic downward spiral, I was on a mission to figure out how to eat healthier on a very strict budget. Using a dollar, sometimes less, sometimes more for food daily — it wasn’t easy, but it is possible. It just takes some patience, plus a few tricks and you too can eat healthy.

Hello Folks! Still rolling along with Bonni and doing great! She is still supportive and helps me in every avenue of weight loss with a gentle touch. She motivates you a lot to reach your weight loss goals. I still highly recommend her services if you are looking to lose weight in a healthy way! P. S. I need to purchase new clothes because all my clothes are too big! Bonni gets results for sure. She should be your number one pick!

Bonni is an AMAZING personal trainer. She is very knowledgeable and really takes the time to get to know you to create a perfect workout routine designed for you. She’s always giving helping information on the right foods to eat but most of all you really feel you are working out with your best friend!

I need to buy all new clothes because they’re becoming too small.
In my case, that is a good thing. Having a freakishly fast metabolism (its a good thing and a bad thing) and combined with a small-​ish frame, I’ve always been on the thin side. That’s changing.
I came to Bonni for new ways to work out, as the traditional weight training just wasn’t working for me. I get too bored too easily. So I joined up with Bonni’s tri-​weekly bootcamp, and I love it. It makes working out fun for me, as it combines cardio (which I enjoy) with weight training using various techniques.
Long story short, I’ve never been more fit in my life… even after running the Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon. I feel stronger, look better, everyday activities are much easier to do, physically feel better, and have much more confidence. I went from 161 pounds after the marathon to 175 in lean mass. For me, that is no small feat considering the 3000+ **healthy** calories I need to eat in order for me to even sustain my weight without adding fat.
Scrawny to athletic in 4 months. I’ll take it.
I can’t say much about losing weight with her program… but apparently that works, too. :)

Bonni is great! I haven’t worked with her one-​on-​one, but I’m a regular on her walks and some other group events. The walks are well organized and the pace is discussed in advance so people know what to expect. She is conscientious about regrouping and making sure all are doing well. She extends that same care to participants in group health education sessions, like a stretching seminar I recently attended in conjunction with a chiropractor.
Bonni’s focus is on a healthy lifestyle. Exercise isn’t something you need to suffer through instead of doing something fun. Her events combine activity or education with socializing. The walks are social events and sightseeing tours through some of San Diego’s beautiful neighborhoods and parks, and she organizes happy-​hours that include health practitioners sharing their knowledge.

I have not yet used Bonni’s services one-​on-​one as a personal trainer, although I fully intend to do so as soon as some health issues have been resolved and I have my doctor’s permission.
I have, however, attended several walks and events organized by Bonni, and have been extremely impressed. She is very genuine, and her approach is upbeat, but also realistic. She is always making suggestions as to how to improve one’s health & fitness in gentle, non-​threatening ways. She is incredibly encouraging. She thoroughly investigates any service provider she recommends, and follows up regarding experiences to be sure that they were positive and address any negative issues. She takes what she does very seriously, and gives very reasonable advice. She understands that, to many of the people who use any of her services, exercise and proper nutrition may be foreign &/​or difficult concepts and she handles those people in a way that sets them on a positive path without feeling the (often threatening) need for an immediate all-​out lifestyle change.
The fact that her program involves donation of funds to a worthy cause is fantastic icing on the cake!
I would highly recommend Bonni to anyone, but especially to those who need extra encouragement and gentle handling. I very much look forward to being able to use her services one-​on-​one and will update my posting when I do. I’m sure I will only have favorable experiences to report!

I have worked out with Bonni one-​on-​one and in a group setting. All I can say is that she truly kicks my butt! After a single training session I am definitely left hurting and sweaty, but as much as I am thankful it is over, I’m so glad that I did it! This definitely would not be possible without Bonni’s encouragement. These days, when the economy has been rough on me, I have been taking advantage of her group fit program. We call it «boot camp» and it is bascially an organized but fun group training session. Bottom line… Bonni is the bomb at what she does and can accomodate anyone’s needs!
