Testimonials

“I have been practicing yoga for over ten years, have an active lifestyle and a healthy diet but for the last three years I have been gaining weight and losing tone in my core. I was distressed to see my stomach looking soft no matter how many downward dogs and planks I did. I started to resign myself. Maybe it was just inevitable for a woman my age.

What really sold me on Kaori’s system at first was the short time commitment. With a yoga practice three times a week, I didn’t think I could squeeze an additional fitness regimen into a busy agenda. One of the many advantages of Kaori’s method is that I can easily find 30 minutes in a day for a quick, effective workout. And doing the classes via Zoom meant not taking time out to travel to a gym. She gave me the flexibility in scheduling that I needed.

As an added benefit, Kaori’s timely feedback by email along with recorded clips of both of us doing the exercise routines allows me to examine how I can improve my technique in order to exercise on my own safely and effectively. And Kaori’s support gave me the confidence to achieve my goals.

When I first started working with Kaori, I didn’t believe that I would see any visible results so quickly. But in just ten 30-minute fitness sessions, my body – especially my stomach – is toned and stronger. I find I have more stamina for cardio activities. And, on top of that, the exercises have helped to alleviate my chronic shoulder pain. Kaori really listened to my goals, adjusting each session as I progressed. She was thoughtful and creative in planning out our 30 minutes together.

I really didn’t think I could squeeze in another type of fitness practice into an already busy lifestyle. What keeps me going back is her commitment to my progress. But perhaps best of all is Kaori herself. Kaori makes it fun. I look forward to the next session.”

“Daily Flex was recommended to me because of issues I was having recovering from ACL surgery with very little outside support due to the pandemic. I had been working out using on-line videos, but did not seem to be getting anywhere. Kaori tailored the sessions to focus not only on strengthening my knee, but also on improving the way in which I was exercising. She kept me focused, as well as correcting errors I was making, posture specifically, but also form. Once I got used to using Zoom, I could concentrate on challenging myself, cues that Kaori picked up on, adding or subtracting exercise depending on the day. Most importantly, she made it fun and gave me a real sense of accomplishment at the end of each session. I could not recommend the program or Kaori more highly.”

“Prior to working with Kaori, I had not worked out in over 4 years due to health reasons. I was nervous and unsure how my body would tolerate the excerises. I expressed my concerns with Kaori and she was very understanding and immediately tailored all of our exercises to meet my needs and ensured it was safe for my body. The 30 minute exercises were perfect and attainable, making working out fun and something I thoroughly enjoyed and looked forward to doing through ZOOM. It was amazing that in just 10 sessions I was able to notice a difference in my stomach and arms. I felt a lot more toned and confident about my body and working out again, especially being guided by Kaori and knowing that I was doing the exercises correctly without injuring myself. The post workout videos and tips sent by Kaori were also extremely helpful and encouraged me to continue to exercise on my own, which I've never been motivated to do before. I highly recommend working with Daily Flex, you will not be disappointed. Thank you Kaori, you are an amazing personal trainer with a special gift in helping people gently transform their bodies while enjoying working out!”

“I am so truly grateful for having started the Daily Flex fitness sessions with Kaori Noguchi. She designs the program specifically for the goals and needs of her client. I particularly loved the many follow up procedures. The full session videos and exercise reviews and tips helped reinforce the lessons as well as demonstrating to me what I could improve and how that showed up later! I also loved that I could do these exercises from home without having to buy expensive gym equipment. The 30 minute sessions made this so doable! Kaori is very easy to watch, learn from and listen to and always checks in to monitor whether the exercise routines need lessening or intensifying. I noticed changes in my posture, strength and energy. I can’t wait for my next session.”

“I’ve been training with Kaori for 3.5 months. She works really hard to tailor a program to your needs, she follows up with videos, exercise plans and evaluates your progress every step of the way. I have lumbar stenosis and a bad disc and she has ensured that my program not only avoids injury but also strengthens my back to the point where I’m experiencing almost no pain. Trust me…my daily pain was horrible and now I can sheet a king sized bed by myself without pain or worry of injury…which was not possible before. The virtual training is convenient and effective. She’s very motivational and focuses on understanding her client’s personality and goals. I’ve already lost at least 3.5 inches and all my clothes are fitting way better. I keep renewing my package with her because I have never ever had these kinds of results with any trainer…and I have had my fair share over the years. Try her program and get into the spirit of really taking in her knowledge and expertise. If you apply yourself, you will see results fast. I couldn’t recommend anyone more than her for personal training. She’s my guru.”

“I highly recommend Kaori’s simple and elegant approach to getting fit. I had struggled for years as a relatively active woman who just couldn’t find an effective way to really strengthen my back, abs, hips and butt. I just don’t like machines and Pilates and yoga aren’t active enough to keep me engaged. Thank you Kaori for helping me and making me believe in the power of the squat! :)”

“Working with Kaori is wonderful. She really listens to your needs and preferences and works with you to achieve results. I love how thoughtful and mindful she is towards your specific body and ensuring that proper technique is enforced for your own safety. She is also incredibly personal, friendly, and flexible all while pushing you to achieve milestones in your exercise goals.”

“During the lockdown of 2020 I started to have more time to workout from home on a daily basis. While working with YouTube and other app trainers was pretty satisfying for me, I had never worked out before and these trainers did not have the ability to watch me, correct my form or offer any other type of advice for someone like me, almost a novice! ENTER KAORI! Daily Flex came recommended via a Parkdale Facebook group user suggestion. After doing some research I thought the 12 week shred would be the best fit for me and I was most drawn to the fact that Kaori was in my age group and would know what would work best for me at this stage life. I can't stress enough how having a professional observe my form and make suggestions and corrections has upped my entire fitness game. Although the scale number has never been at the top of my list in terms of fitness goals, it actually moved quite a bit for the first time in two years! Kaori also had me doing squats and lunges - two things I always avoided due to knee/feet issues. With the right training, she even got me in a Bulgarian Squat!! I still hear Kaori's voice in my head to this day as I continue my fitness journey "keep your belly tight!" a small but hugely impactful move that I totally missed when training on my own. All of the lessons I have learned on this journey will be with me for life. Thank you Kaori!!”
