“What an amazing training experience. Misty spends time with each of her clients identifying what works for you and she develops workouts customized for you.   Misty adds just the right amount of hard work and great laughs to her training sessions which makes it such rewarding  experience.” - Renee

“Fourteen months ago I knew I needed to make a healthy change in my life. I knew I didn't want to join a gym and I was having difficulty finding fitness classes I could work around my schedule. The idea of working with a personal trainer seemed a bit intimidating at first, but Misty Jaymes quickly changed all of that! I had a long way to go and Misty has kept me motivated each step of the way. She has always been encouraging and positive. Each session is challenging. As someone who "does not like to exercise", I find myself looking forward to each work out to see what Misty has in store for me next. It has never gotten dull or boring. Without Misty I wouldn't have kept it up for so long or have seen such incredible results. I couldn't have done it without her!” - Nicole

“I've been a client of Misty's for about eight years and am very pleased with the results.  Although there are those days when I really don't feel like showing up for a session, i am inspired by her to put my all into it once we get started.   She knows how hard to push me and doesn't let me cheat despite those occasional attempts to do so.  She's got a great attitude and personality which makes getting and staying in shape really enjoyable.  She will inspire you to do your best.” - Doug

“Misty is the absolute best there is when it comes to personal training! As an individual who has had two knee surgeries, Misty worked with me to help recover from my injuries and then to increase strength without causing any pain! Since beginning my personal fitness journey with Misty, I have become more confident in the gym and with my workout routines. She has personally helped me with a plan for nutrition and fitness, and has helped me lose almost 25lbs! She knows what she is talking about and is willing to do anything to help her clients! You will always leave feeling like you had a great workout and like you are ready to take on the world! Beyond being my trainer for about 3 years, she has become a friend and mentor to me and I would recommend her to anyone I meet! Misty Jaymes Fitness is the place you should go if you want to start or continue your fit lifestyle!” - Julia

“My pain saver…aka MISTY JAYMES! I am 27 and was in a near fatal car accident on January 30, 2008. I was hit by a drunk driver. My life was changed in an instant. Physical therapy only kept me for so long and then they told me I was on my own. After being on my death bed with multiple injuries and surviving I take my heath very seriously. That’s how I found MISTY! I can’t even express how much she has helped me get my life back. She is kind and sweet and takes my injuries into consideration with every exercise. After being with MISTY only a few short months she helped me get back to me both mentally AND physically. She is one of my biggest supporters! I believe I am physically stronger after the accident then I was before. Thanks to Misty! She helped me build muscle and with that muscle comes less ache and pain. I still experience soreness from workouts but NO PAIN NO GAIN! I’ve enjoyed every minute spent with her. She is not only THE BEST TRAINER EVER but she is also one of the most genuine people I have ever met. I look forward to every session. If your looking to improve your life look no further. Misty Jaymes is the way to go!” Coleen

“I started training with Misty Jaymes several years ago. I was recently widowed and still in the grieving process. I immediately felt a connection with Misty. She is a great listener with the warmest of hearts. Her special brand of personal training helped me not only feel stronger physically but mentally as well. Misty will motivate you to be your best self!” - Mary

“Misty Jaymes Fitness is the premiere personal fitness resource in the Lehigh Valley! Individualized attention and the best motivational training are what makes them unique. They truly care about their clients, giving them a full-spectrum approach to improving their health. I can't say enough good things about Misty and her crew!” - Mary

“Omg!!! I actually completed a WHOLE session of Tabata just now!!! I pretended you were watching me the whole time! Thanks to you for always being your amazing self and motivating me Misty!! ♥♥ - Gina

“Misty’s training is fun and enjoyable. I love our sessions because she is very motivating and encouraging. I highly recommend her if you want someone to help you achieve your fitness goals” - Wendy

Every trainer can list a group of exercises and set a range for a client, but Misty seems to instinctually know when to adjust reps, sets and when to push me harder. She somehow managed to create a NO BS, gritty environment which is balanced with encouragement and let’s get this done attitude.  I couldn’t be happier with the decision to work with her.” - Mike

“I have been working with Misty at her studio just shy of eight years.  I came to Misty as a New Years resolution to get stronger and feel better.  Mission accomplished.  I work out twice a week for an hour and feel great. I am stronger, have more energy and have carved out some time for myself and my fitness needs.  The one on one training is hard, but extremely rewarding. You never know what you will be doing and it takes away any form of monotonous idea one might have about personal training.  Misty is energetic, diligent and happy to assist you with any goal you might set for yourself. She is always available and allows you to feel at ease despite the difficult tasks she is asking you to perform. I highly recommend Misty Jaymes Fitness.” - Deegan

“I just left Misty’s studio I still have that, 'so glad I worked out!' feeling.  It was another night of a Misty’s class.  I started at Misty Jaymes Fitness with two mornings of boot camps with Misty.  Then I added one or two of his evening classes to my week when I knew I was stronger in mind and body.  Misty' classes continually challenge me.  That is the benefit of being at a studio where the instructor knows his students well and knows when they are ready to be pushed and challenged.  Tonight's class was no exception.  With each class I get stronger and more fit overall.  Misty knows how to work different body parts in each workout and with a variety of his classes you hit all areas of the body multiple times.  I am a runner by nature but am also completely addicted to my workouts at Misty Jaymes Fitness.  Saturday morning Tabata class with Suzanne is another great workout! It is a different type of class which keeps it interesting to me and continually motivates me. I also attend Misty studio for the comradery among class members, Misty's personal touch and desire to cater to the needs of her members, and of course, her dog, Cooper!” -  Lynn

“I have worked with Misty for the past 7 1/2 yrs. & it has by far been one of the best decisions I have made for my life.  It has totally changed me as a person inside & out, I feel much better about myself and taking on most challenges.  What I have accomplished physically ( can't believe what I can do now) & emotionally is amazing. Without Misty I couldn't have done it!!   Once you commit to it, everything seems to fall into place,  Misty is my trainer as well an awesome friend.” - Michaelene


“I walked up to Misty Jaymes Fitness with mixed emotions, out-of-shape, and unaware of what was in store for me. Yet those worries were immediately put at ease the moment I entered the studio because Misty has created a welcoming and motivating fitness environment for everyone. She has a staff of qualified trainers, all teaching engaging group classes and I cannot speak highly enough about all of the them. Misty Jaymes is a true asset to the studio. With Misty’s training, I’ve lost nearly 30 pounds in less than 6 months! Each class is unique to the others, preventing your body from plateauing. Mid-class, Misty is able to seamlessly transition clients into modifications or added challenges as needed. His classes are worthwhile and difficult, yet they are not intimidating. There has never been a class without laughter, and never one without a lot of sweat! She incorporates many different styles of fitness moves and equipment, making every workout feel fresh. There is NO WAY that I could have reached my goals without his classes and Misty Jaymes personal touch. I thank myself repeatedly for finding the confidence to try the studio that first day because it has become such a special place to me. This is a gym unlike any other in the area, because every trainer puts in the time and effort for each individual, helping everyone on their individual paths to wellness and happiness.  Try a class and you’ll thank yourself too!” - Jennifer


“About 8 months ago I called Misty’s studio and Misty herself answered.  I was pretty unsure of the classes that were listed online but Misty convinced me to come and check it out.  I’m so glad I did.  Throughout my life I’ve tried to be active but I never stuck with anything.  Going to a gym by myself, working with a trainer, walking, videos at home, etc.  I can’t really name them all.  Over the last 7 years I’ve lost a tremendous amount of weight but even after I lost weight I still couldn’t get myself motivated to do any kind of activity consistently; until I found Misty’s Studio.  I’ve been hooked ever since.  This is the first time in my life I can actually say that I enjoy working out.  Is it hard work?  Yes.  Do I struggle?  Yes.  Am I in the best shape in my life?  100%, Yes!  Misty’s Studio has an atmosphere that is unlike any other gym I’ve been to.  There’s no judgment and as I like to say no one gives you the “side eye” as you are working out.  Everyone is so supportive, not only the staff, but also the other members of the studio.  A huge thanks to Misty and everyone connected to her studio!  An extra out shout to my fellow Boot campers, you guys make all the difference too!  Thanks for pushing me, I may complain, but I love it!” - Michelle

“When I met Misty, I had not been to the gym in years. I knew needed to get back in shape, but I lacked the confidence and motivation. My first opinion of Misty was that she was positive and outgoing. I was immediately drawn to those traits. In just a few sessions, I came to know Misty as an extremely competent trainer, and as a caring, honest person. She makes my workouts challenging, but she gives me the encouragement to push myself. My meetings with Misty are the highlights of my week! I have noticed weight lose and muscle gain, but most importantly, she helped me gain back what I lacked… self-confidence. I cannot praise Misty enough. She is truly a wonderful trainer, one of the best.” - Jay

“I have been training with Misty for over 8 years now and could not ask for a more professional, kind, smart, and motivating personal trainer! Misty will always continue to push you so you achieve your goals and will always make sure you are maintaining “proper form” which is critical to your success and will make sure you do not get injured. Misty cares about her clients well being, their lives, and who they are, not only their fitness goals. Misty Jaymes is like no other trainer around….you will not just be another client to her, you will become a friend, and you will love going to work out with her.” - Danielle

“If you are looking for not only a fantastic incredible trainer but also a great life coach, Misty Jaymes is your girl!  I have been with Misty for over two years, and have never been happier with my training.  She, of course, knows fitness and training, but she is also able to just "talk" and be a fantastic friend.  There are days that I just don't feel like training, but I need to chat so I get my butt in gear and go see Misty!  By the end of the workout my stress level is significantly lowered, my head clearer, and my body beat up a bit!  I feel great the rest of the day!  Misty is also extremely conscience of form and considers all things with her client's abilities.  I struggle with chronic back issues, and Misty always watches my form and can immediately recognize if my back is struggling!  We stop and she selects another exercise.  I fully trust her and know she always has my best interest in mind.  Recently my 12 year old son started working with her and he loves it!  Again, she not only trains him, but chats with him!  He shares more with her than me!  But I love it!  She is simply the best in so many ways and I would recommend her to anyone looking to feel great not only physically but mentally as well.” - Penny

“When you are diagnosed with cancer they say you will meet a lot of angels along the way. After being diagnosed with stage III breast cancer, I found this to be true. One of the biggest angels I met during my journey was MIsty.  I had finished chemo, radiation and two surgeries and was ready to get my life back, but I was nervous.

 After speaking on the phone the first time, there was an immediate connection and when I walked into her studio for the first time to train, I felt at home.  Misty not only helps me train physically, she also helps me mentally and has been an incredible force during my difficult journey. Not only am I training to get my strength back, but MIsty has also helped me with my confidence and has shown me that I can do anything with a little perseverance.

  Misty is a true professional who will push you harder, train with intensity, but will also show you the deepest compassion like no other. I still have some obstacles on this journey, but I know with Misty by my side, I will be unstoppable.” - Gabrielle

“I started working out with Misty a few months after hip replacement surgery. I was unable to move & lift my leg. After the second session with Misty I have already achieved strength & mobility in my leg & hip. Three months later, my range of motion, strength & endurance is almost at peak performance. If it were not for Misty, I still would not be able to lift my left leg. She encourages, motivates & pushes you, yet she knows your limits. I would recommend Misty Jaymes to anybody with an injury, post surgery or anybody looking to succeed in everyday fitness goals. She truly is the BEST at what she does!!” - Lisa

“I have been working out with Misty for about 4 years. Every workout is catered to me!! Not her client before or after me. She has her focus on me and my needs, what I want to focus on or just a whole body work out. I highly recommend Misty Jaymes Fitness for those just starting out and people who workout regularly.“ - Mary

Mind , Body & Soul

I never gave too much thought into weight training. To me, I associated weight training to body building, in my younger years.

I was very active in cardio classes and even taught Spinn. This was my exercise regiment in my 30’s. By my early 40’s  I was told to incorporate weight training into my weekly routine. I was diagnosed with osteopenia. I did try a few weight training sessions with several instructors. I just didn’t feel as though I was getting anything out of the sessions and it was very boring to me. I didn’t see any light at the end on the tunnel.  Again, my physician says that I should really do some weight baring exercises. So back to the thought of going to a weight trainer and honestly dreading the boredom. I understand why I didn’t see the light then but do now that I’m in my 50’s and have osteoporosis- after menopause. Most importantly I found a trainer who actually worked with me. She treated me as an individual not as a payment.

I met Misty through a mutual friend. I knew she worked with my friend so, I asked if she could find time for me in her schedule. Almost two years since my first session now and what started as once a week is now sometimes three times a week. She was the light.

Her sessions are truly Mind, Body & Soul.

Mind - Misty encourages me when I myself don’t believe that I can do what she is asking me to do.

Body - Misty is knowledgeable of how the body works even when there may be obstacles. I have had a few surgeries on my hands so Misty is always aware of that and has modifications for me to achieve that part of the workout. I’m stronger now because of Misty’s caring knowledge of how the body works.

Soul - Misty is one of the best souls you will meet. She truly gets to know you as a person. She has become a true and endearing friend. I have days that I don’t feel like working out but never regret going. Because, I ALWAYS feel better after completing my workout.

I’m thankful she has a part of the day scheduled for me.” - Karla

“Nearly 15 years ago I made a seemingly innocuous decision to go to a fitness trainer. That decision was one of the best I ever made. Misty has instilled in me the necessary discipline and consistency to be my best every day. She is a dedicated professional who will work with you to accomplish your goals. She gives you her best all the time.

After all these years I continue to workout twice a week with Misty, rarely missing. Why? Because it’s not only the results, it’s because Misty is a genuinely good person. She loves what she does, she loves working with people who want to be healthy and fit. She really cares about her clients. She is simply the best. I am forever grateful that Misty is part of my journey.” - Bob
