Amber C. – “In 7 days of T-Tapping I could see a difference already in how my muscles were longer and leaner”

I started T-Tapping for two reasons (1)  I needed a workout that would rehab my post-op knee without too much impact, and (2)  my friend Kiona from RPI is a T-Tapp trainer and highly recommended the workout to me.  Obviously I didn’t know much about T-Tapp [because] I was worried about it not being challenging enough!  T-Tapp is completely counter to the “conventional wisdom” but is far more effective than the weight lifting routines I learned when I did my ACE PT certification.  Conventional wisdom says that the more you do, the more you HAVE to do, and then trainers wonder how/why people start having joint problems and overtraining injuries...

Terry – “I feel good, especially after the clinics…”

I was lacking energy and I needed to lose weight and get back in shape.  I went on line and found T-Tapp and Kiona was offering a class in Richmond VA so I signed up online.  I attended two of her classes in Richmond and leaned tips on walking in weighted shoes and TONS of form tips.  I feel good, especially after the clinics and I have many things and directions to focus on at one time.  Kiona has an abundance of knowledge and is very supportive in the way she shares it.  She makes you feel great about yourself.

June Pierson – “You would find Kiona’s programs informative, fun, and a great way to make [healthy] lifestyle changes”

I met Kiona at a Nikken function where she introduced the T-Tapp concept. I was currently teaching a Lifestyle Energy & Weight management program. Kiona utilizes the T-Tapp exercise program to tone and shape the body, but also to lose weight, control insulin response, and raise metabolism up to 25%. T-Tapp concept uses a weighted shoe in its workout for balance and maximizing benefit for effort put forth. This is right in line with a healthy lifestyle I so firmly promote. Kiona is a delightful, energetic, and knowledgeable fitness trainer. I attended her T-Tapp session and found it to be fun and a great workout. You can feel the results. She has expertise in other areas of health as well. You would find Kiona’s programs informative, fun, and a great way to make those lifestyle changes.

Norm – “Through [what] I learned from Kiona and being careful about what and how much I eat, I became non-diabetic and lowered my cholesterol levels”

I was in the process of a complete make -over, body, life-style, etc and I wanted to work on my core, lose some weight and increase my balance. I met Kiona at a dance and listened to how excited she was about what she does. So, I took one of Kiona’s class and if fit into my goals. I went on line and adopted some of the core exercises shown on the T-Tapp site. Through the principles of the workout I learned from Kiona and being careful about what and how much I eat, I became non-diabetic and lowered my cholesterol levels. Kiona started me on my path to change my exercise program. In addition to T-Tapp, I now lift weights on one foot, use a balance ball, etc.

Ann Quasman – “…with the T-Tapp workout…I can always find at least 15 minutes to work out. And, I always feel better for doing so.”

I am one of those people who really don’t like to exercise until I get a consistent routine going and start seeing and feeling the results. Give me 4 days off, and I will fall completely off the wagon. However, with the T-Tapp workout, even on the busiest days, I can always find at least 15 minutes to work out. And, I always feel better for doing so. This is also a workout I feel confident in sharing with other people and with the participants in our classes…it is a workout that works for everybody, regardless of whether they have never worked out or are a pro. Thank you, Kiona, for your enthusiasm, for keeping me inspired, and for sharing all of your wonderful fitness and wellness tips.

Theresa Shipe – “T-Tapp has done wonders for my spirit and body…I can’t thank Kiona enough!!”

I discovered T-Tapp summer of 2002 after surfing the net for the best leg exercises. I hit upon an article on Awesome legs. I tried the exercises -and was so impressed that I located the main T-Tapp website and so started the journey. I started training under Kiona Leah about a year ago with great results. T-Tapp has done wonders for my spirit and body. It has helped to virtually eliminated neck and back pain I was experiencing and has improved the lymphatic circulation in my body -particularly my legs. Kiona has been very inspirational, and her T-Tapp classes are fun, energetic and habit forming:). I can’t thank Kiona enough!!

RAW – “I think [the workout] is absolutely wonderful for people who are large to be featured on a video and to know that T-Tapp works…”

Kiona, Thank you for the generous amount of time you spent with me on Saturday. I truly enjoyed working with and learning from you. Your commitment and belief in the CRT and T-Tapp systems are what convinced me to try the programs; you are a gifted teacher. I began the CRT program and absolutely LOVE body brushing! What a refreshing and invigorating feeling; I’m hooked! [Plus] I think [the workout] is absolutely wonderful for people who are large to be featured on a video and to know that T-Tapp works to restore physical health and stamina.

Lynn Zoll – “After meeting you, I am also certain you can deliver the T-Tapp info to me in a way I can understand”

Please don’t be discouraged reading about me. I know [brain injury, a total body curve to the back, not able to take a full step, spastic muscles and upcoming surgery] is a lot, but I am determined to get well and I am certain T-Tapp can add a lot to my progress. After meeting you, I am also certain you can deliver the T-Tapp info to me in a way I can understand, a big hurdle overcome for me. Besides you have been such a warm and personable as well as competent trainer that I feel as though we’ve know each other much longer than we have.

Dave S. – “[Kiona’s] knowledge of body mechanics and T-Tapp…have been the key to my losing and maintaining weight…”

Circuit training and the treadmill weren’t doing it for me anymore, and I was looking for a more comprehensive exercise program.  About the same time, the media was full of reports about how flexibility and balance needed to be maintained as one got older.  Kiona offered an introductory class at the gym I use, and I thought I would try it.  As I went though the routines, I was surprised to discover how poor my balancing ability had become over the years.  I’ve been attending Kiona’s weekly classes ever since...
