I have taken guided hikes in the Canadian Rockies and in New Zealand. I was so excited for my first trip to Joshua Tree--and Cal was the perfect guide. I wasn't in the best shape--I had had the flu just a week before my trip--so I was a little concerned about how I would fare on our hike up Pinto Mountain. But Cal was great! She motivated me to make it to the summit! It was such a great day--gorgeous weather, beautiful scenery, and great conversation with Cal along the way. Cal's extensive knowledge of the park was impressive and very helpful. I highly recommend hiking with Cal. I'm sure to call her the next time I'm out that way.

“What Ever Happened to the Class of ‘65”
ReUnion Group, March 2004
We come from each Coast to spend 10 days together each year in Palm Springs, California at Smoke Tree Ranch. But riding bikes and horse back riding, mixed in with shopping at The Swap Meet and Thursday Night Street Fair is hardly energizing by itself. So we engaged Cal Gerberding to help us loosen up our mid-life bodies. For 1 ½ hours every morning we had Cal show up to lead us through a private water aerobic class in the Ranch pool! A few added benefits: a touch of nutrition counseling/educating, plus great hiking with Cal in the local canyons and mountains for those who were interested. The morning “workout” was fun and the group chatter in the pool set us up for an enjoyable day. Besides, Cal has a great personality and she never tires of hearing our various questions about better ways to eat, workout, and share how to pay better attention to our body and minds once we return home!
