"Emilie's attention to proper form has prevented me from sustaining any injuries, and after working with her for less than a year she helped me COMPLETELY HEAL a rotator cuff injury that had prevented me from lifting overhead for months. Now I comfortably do overhead lifts with ease and no restrictions. I cannot recommend Emilie enough – she is the cream of the crop and I am so grateful to train with her. If you have the chance to work with her, TAKE IT!"

“I take Battle Body because of Emilie. The Battle Body method has never lost sight of the fact that it makes me feel good. No matter how crazy the circuit is, I know I can do it”

"I started working with Emilie during a challenging life moment; a loved one was very ill and self care was a big struggle. I had very little capacity for much, let alone the motivation to plan a work out and actually do it. I finally made the decision to find a personal trainer, but as someone who used to work in the fitness industry…I had non-negotiable standards: someone who has multiple certifications and years of experience, someone who believes in long term functionality over fad aesthetics, someone who is trained in communicating effectively with all types of folks since everyone learns differently, someone who believes in health at every size and someone joyful and fun! I felt incredibly lucky to have crossed paths with Emilie and I am still huffing and puffing YEARS into working with her during our sessions. The growth never ends and I have gotten so much stronger with her tried and true methods. I cannot recommend Battle Body enough…and I do! Friends, colleagues and my husband have become members of the Battle Body community; thank you Emilie for all your hard work and dedication!"

"What you can tell immediately from Emilie is that she's attracted a community of people that want to lift each other up. It's not hyper competitive and even if you're having a bad day or the workout is really hard, it feels like a positive thing you can keep coming back to for an hour a day. That's something I want to keep coming back for especially in a time that's so taxing emotionally and physically"

"Emilie Battle has changed my life because I never realized how deeply connected my mental health was to my physical health. I have never been healthier, or more confident or in more control of my mental health. Just sayin, changed my life!"

"Working with Battle Body is an opportunity to really push myself, keep moving and fight through the desire to do nothing which is definitely the easier option. There's always modifications to help people like myself who can't jump because of injuries so they're definitely suitable for all fitness levels."

"Working with Emilie for the last two years has completely changed my fitness game. For the first time in my life, I feel MOTIVATED and EXCITED to workout and that is because of Emilie's infectious enthusiasm and her tremendous skill as a trainer. This is the most consistent I have ever been with strength training and the results are tangible – I am stronger, leaner and happier."

"Battle Body makes me feel strong. It's an hour I get to dedicate to myself and working with a black woman who's breaking down fitness stereotypes and norms and telling us that everyone and anyone can be strong, fit and enjoy it!"

“From the very first session, Emilie and Battle Body have been a consistent blessing and secret ingredient in my workout life. Knowledgeable, calm, kind, communicative and flexible. I was always so scared of the gym, so when my acting work necessitated that I up my fitness game, I was extremely nervous… Emilie and her team couldn’t have made it feel more doable, accessible, and dare I say- fun. Proud to be under their instruction, they’re the absolute best, bar none.”

"Battle Body has guided me through many of life’s moments: from preparing for the Broadway stage to recovering from surgeries and everything in between. What keeps me coming back week after week, year after year, is knowing that I am always in good hands. They always check in, they always LISTEN, and my individually tailored workout reflects that. The secret sauce of Battle Body is the constant attitude of encouragement, positivity, and belief in myself and in the process. The proof has always been in the progress and I always see results for whatever my goals are."
