I came to Esteem in January of 2019 with mainly one goal: to develop an exercise regimen that I could maintain and to increase my energy. Throughout the year, Coach D and trainers helped me believe in my own abilities and push me beyond my own limitations. I learned about different dietary strategies and additional information about the use of essential oils to add to my wellness journey.

By the end of the year, I was stronger, had more stamina, and had lost a few pounds in the process. If you are looking for a positive environment with a Coach and staff that cares, Esteem is for you.

More than a trainer - a lifestyle coach!
What can I say about Esteem, A Total Transformation and Coach DonnaKaye, its fearless leader? While the results I have seen in my body transformation are impressive, it has done more for my mental and emotional fortitude than I could have imagined. Coach DonnaKaye has introduced me to a healthier lifestyle, starting with what I put in my body. This has transformed into cooking meals at home and being more conscientious of what we eat as a family. And while I could not give up my beloved chicken and fish, it has given me a healthy appreciation for plant-based meals. I appreciate that coach DonnaKay created a diet plan that worked for me, which incorporated my current intermittent fasting routine.

I thought it would be difficult to train for competition while working and in school, but instead, it has taught me mental discipline and I find myself more alert and attentive when I do engage in work and school-related activities. I attest this to a better feeling of wellness and resilience. What a blessing!

First giving all honor and glory to my Sovereign Lord, I am so very grateful for Esteem, A Total Transformation being a part of my life, not just for the great training and coaching but for a dynamic woman of God who leads and train by example. I have total confidence in Donna's coaching, counseling, and training. Having trained with Donna for 2.5 years, realizing this is a life long journey and everyone needs a Donna in their life. She makes the journey enjoyable because you know she genuinely loves you and cares about your health.

I came to Esteem in March 2019 with an issue of time management due to working shift rotations, inflammation due to my poor eating habits; my sugar intake was out of control. I couldn't even lift 5lbs on my right shoulder, I couldn't perform bicep curls or squats due to the knee pain. I wore KT tape to every session for support due to my weak area; after being at Esteem for 11 months I put my fitness/health first. Yoyo dieting and starting over every 4-6 months has come to an end. I've continued on my fitness journey and have plans on competing again in fall 2020. I can now lift on my shoulder, complete bicep curls with 35lb dumbbells and complete squats without any KT tape

After- 135lbs Size 5 (Stage weight)

Total loss 47lbs 7 sizes

Competed Nov & Dec 2019
