Success Stories & Testimonials

"Eva, the atmosphere of the group and it's success is really due to you, your hard work, your dedication, and your inspiring us, week in, week out! You're incredible:-).  I also want to thank Kathleen, Denise, and Noellia for being awesome mentors, not just to me, but to Eleni as well! It's so great that she can run ahead of Mom (lol) with folks who both challenge and nurture her! This group has been a godsend to us both!- Despina SP 15

"A big thanks to you for all that you did for us; the commitment to us to make us not only better runners, but healthier people. You were always there to push us and encourage us. It’s obviously more than just a business to you, you really care about the people too. I really believe you’ve changed a lot of peoples lives for the better-me for one. I can honestly say that I enjoyed every one of the members of No Boundaries that I talked to and felt a special bond with every one of them. Such a great group! I hope to continue for many years to come. Who knows, maybe I will attempt a Marathon before I turn 70 (well, one can dream…). First I have to run my first 5K and since I ended up sick on race day this year, we will try again next year. I was so sad to have had to miss it and was so looking forward to it ☹.  A special thanks to Mentor Kathleen that always kept me moving even when I grumbled and complained, but did it in a fun, instructive way. Thanks for your dedication."  S. Kennedy, Spring 2015
