Guardian Testimonials

“The outings are rewarding, I find myself feeling less stressed and more confident in many areas of my life.”

“It’s more than just exercise, it’s like taking off your blinders and being able to really see the world and appreciate it for what it is.”

“You changed my life. Getting her made me a happier person, hands down. I have more accountability, I wake up earlier, I train more frequently, and I feel like I have more purpose in my day to day.”

“Guardian Jams are the best part of my week. My mind gets to check out for a bit, and I get to just focus on the music with others like me who are passionate about the same thing.”

“Her adage "there's no way to do this wrong" was the first time that anyone has actually said this about anything I've done, so while it doesn't sound revolutionary, it really is a big "take away" for a quick hour of my time.”
