“Wendy is one of the most passionate advocates for prenatal fitness that I know of. She maintains very high standards for both herself and her employees, I highly recommend her organization.”

February 11, 2009 Karen Nordahl, President, Fit to Deliver Inc

“Wendy and I connected because we both focus on helping women improve their health and fitness in preparation for pregnancy, while pregnant or after having a baby. I am very impressed with the dedication and professionalism of her organisation. Wendy invited me to give a day’s training on pregnancy nutrition for some of the trainers in the No More Excuses network, and so I was able to share some of my knowledge and help increase their understanding of the role diet plays at such a crucial time of life. And in turn, I was able to learn a bit more about the valuable role of exercise and how the No More Excuses team offer a unique service that’s truly tailored to the individual and fits around their needs and commitments at home. It’s a brilliant idea!”
