Trained with Kika for around 6 months. Amazing trainer and you can instantly tel show knows what she is doing. She listened to my goals and knew how to push me to my limits for the best workout ever. Lost about 15lbs and gained some muscle during my time training with her. She got me back on track physically and mentally. Thank you Kika and Mel!!!!
