She has helped thousands of people discover the bodies, and more importantly, the lives of their dreams. There is a reason that people travel from all over the world to her little studio in Boston. A place where science meets support and transformation happens every day. "I am you....the everyday woman that needed a way to change and reshape my body and my life. I started out with genetics that would predispose me to be overweight (most of my family is overweight), with a body type that blessed me with "thunder thighs" and a fitness and athletic training background that left me with a body I did not like (I once had those huge overdeveloped muscles) coupled with chronic back, neck and knee pain. I knew that there had to be a better way. A smarter way, a workout that could be truly challenging, but not leave a person feeling like they were beaten up. A lifestyle that did not require a person to be a professional dancer to feel elegant or a Zen Master to be centered, a way to be the weight that I wanted to be that also involved a cocktail and pizza! There had to be a way to simplify all of the confusion, the feelings of "good" days vs. "bad" days. The endless roller coaster of emotions that fitness and health often bring! A way to have fun and love myself and my body. So, being the geek that I am, I went into full research mode. I began studying and guinea-pigging everything from Pilates to weight training, stretching and resistance training, chi-gong, Chinese medical theory, tai chi, martial arts, yoga, various meditation disciplines, and cardiovascular methods on myself. I looked at the effects both aesthetically and emotionally of each one of these modalities on my body and my mind. I spent countless hours researching and focusing on the kinesiology of the body (how it moves) as well as how different exercises and lifestyle patterns affect the shape and health of the body and the spirit in general..." The result? The Synergistics Fitness Method (R), Life in Synergy(R) and Nutritional Alignment(R). Life in Synergy(R) is for women (and men) who want to look and feel hott on the inside and outside!": -) Helena Collins
