I have had the privilege of knowing Barby Ginsberg for close to 10 years, first as a student, next as an employee, and finally as a colleague. As a [College Instructor] I had the opportunity to hire outstanding students from the classes I taught. Each term one or two students clearly stood out from the others, to the point of me seeking them out to become members of my team and company. Barby was one such person. Upon meeting Barby it was clear to me that she had, and continues to have, a thirst for knowledge and continuing education. Barby's desire to pursue continuing education, and her qualities of empathy plus her passion for helping others, combine to position her as an ideal fitness professional. She is an asset to our field, and it is an honour to work with her. – Sheldon P.

Before I left for university, Barby Ginsberg was my personal fitness trainer. I always looked forward to her coming over to my house to workout with me. Barby taught me how to work many different muscles in my body, and I still use this knowledge today when I workout at my school gym. She put me in the right direction to staying physically fit and made me want to lead a healthy lifestyle. Barby had a personalized workout plan just for me because she knew exactly what I would benefit from working on. She corrected my form if I was doing an exercise wrong and could always tell me the reasoning behind improving my form and how it would affect me. She really knows what she is doing. – Nikki R.

Barby Ginsberg has been the resident fitness director at Universal Fitness Center for the last 7 years. I have personally known her for the last 6, both as the manager of the building and as a gym member. I regularly attend Barby's classes, various seminars, competitions, and special events that she conducts. Barby is a very dedicated and passionate professional. She has increased our fitness centers' attendance by motivating members to get healthy and fit. She is very approachable and knowledgeable, and members always provide very positive feedback about her. – Lena T.
