I started attending Rika's Saturday morning training class earlier this year and it is the highlight of my week. Rika is so knowledgeable and inspiring. Her class is always fun and I get a fantastic workout. Rika knows how to help me train safely which is important to me after suffering from back and knee issues.

Working with Rika has been instrumental in strengthening and aligning my body in its recovery from a back injury 12 years ago. Rika tailors her sessions to build my strength and connect it to my movement which I can then apply to day to day tasks to playing a game on the tennis court. As an avid tennis player but with severe impairments, Rika trains me to coordinate my movement, reducing pain and risk of injury. In the controlled environment of our work-out, we simulate movements that I would use playing tennis, and through repetition teach and strengthen my muscles to react quickly on court. Through our work, I have gained a better, more subtle understanding of my body. I have never played such good tennis, not even before my back injury. Beyond that, Rika’s energy, demeanor and in-depth knowledge make each session engaging and fun.

Rika is the most comprehensive knowledgeable and detailed trainer I have ever had. She is very generous with her expertise and extremely dynamic and attentive about fine tuning each movement and each individual body. My alignment and core have never felt so nurtured. She is truly an alignment and movement guru. Aside from revitalizing, life changing training sessions it is a real pleasure to be in her presence in her beautiful fitness barn. I highly recommend her exceptional personal training !

Rika is a spectacular personal trainer/coach. I'm 67 years old and train with her once a week in her beautiful and expertly appointed space in Washington CT. From the first, it was clear that Rika was going to tailor the training to my specific body and health level. She is precise in her directions and careful to push me only to the correct limit. Her training as a dancer has been of particular benefit to me. Issues of body alignment and balance are a particular need of mine and she utilizes her years of classical dance training in our work. A new world for me and great fun. I feel so much better after our workouts and have certainly noticed a growth in strength, balance, and stamina . I look forward to every session and the hour goes by in a flash. On a personal level, rika is kind and thoughtful human and I so appreciate our work together

Rika Keck is one of the foremost authorities on the way the body moves. Since we started working together I have come to understand my alignment in a way I never have before, even after years of an ashtanga yoga practice. Rika brings an awareness and grounding to one's physicality and, on top of that, she's fun and kind and radiates a warm and peaceful energy. She is a unicorn in the field and I feel so lucky to have found her!

Rika is the consummate professional in her field. She devotes her dedication and expertise on every level to my personal workout routine. Her knowledge of the correct way to improve my body strength has been remarkable. We have discussed my personal body strengths and weaknesses, past injuries, daily routine, and physical challenges that are integral to my physical well being. Most importantly, no injuries. I am a senior man, her routine is very specific to my profile. In the past, I did marathons, triathlons and I was a competitive swimmer..so I assumed I could manage my own workout routine. I was wrong-injuries result when you are doing the exercise incorrectly. Rika takes all of this into account and much more, the results are beyond what I ever considered possible. She has found her passion- I am grateful to be a part of her network.
