Even though I am a creature of habit, I love how Alex varies the routines. I thought I was familiar with most exercises but she is constantly showing me new ones. Her variations are intentional — she arrives with a notebook with my name on it that is filled with my progress sheets and the routine she has generated for me prior to our session. I appreciate how organized she is and how much thought she puts into our time together. And as sunny as she is, Alex is also demanding and takes each session seriously.

The biggest testimonial is that I actually look forward to exercising — I love the effect that working with Alex has had on so many aspects of my life. I have always been a lazy couch potato so this is pretty amazing to me. At age 50 my body now looks better than it did in my 30′s and 40′s. One last thing – for several years I tried to work out on my own and didn’t really get anywhere with it, and so finally decided to hire a personal trainer. For those of you who are vacillating, it is absolutely worth it! There is no way I could push myself to do what I am able to do with Alex. Not even close.”

I have since lost 35 lbs and ran my first marathon! Erica always has great new work outs planned, personally worked through the plans with me, provided valuable nutrition advice and support. I couldn’t have gotten to where I am now without her!!”

Since I have met Aleksandra, I have lost 20 lbs. and she makes every workout different and very challenging. I often try to guess what she could possibly come up with the following week, which really gets me excited to exercise, and has made me love “the burn” again. I don’t know what I would do without her.”

He was never lacking enthusiasm or patience with me and was always professional while maintaining a great sense of humor. Sometimes if I had a long and trying day at work Raymond would come up with a creative and enjoyable workout that always helped boast my mood and remind me of my training goals. I never left without healthy food suggestions from Raymond. While working out with Raymond I can say I felt healthier, had more energy, was thinner and more toned than ever. I truly felt good about the way I looked. I have recommended Raymond to other friends of mine who also had similar positive experiences.”

Josh always has a wide variety of strength training moves, plus he checks on what I’m eating and how I’m working out during the rest of the week when I’m not there. His rates are very reasonable and purchasing sessions from him is lot easier than purchasing them at the gym chains and franchises. Josh is also an incredible motivator – when I expressed that I was having difficulty jogging on my own, he went jogging WITH ME! That experience has inspired me to not just lose weight, but to try to build up my endurance so that I can compete in a 5K run later this year.

Besides seeing results (and everyone else seeing them too!), I have FUN working out with Josh. Whatever your fitness goals are, if you are thinking about getting a personal trainer to help achieve them, then this is the first person you should contact.”

Now I am a new mom, with a “new mom shape”, but Josh quickly helped me shake the “baby blues” and get motivated to get my old body back! Josh took so many personal things into consideration when designing my routine — he worked around my knee problems, catered to my limited schedule, and incorporated all the things I love to do (like use a boxing bag and balance board). As a result, I have a customized routine that is easy to fit into any day! I have worked out for years, but never realized how much time I always wasted in the gym, performing exercises incorrectly, or not pushing myself hard enough.

Josh not only showed me explicitly how to do the best routine for my goals, but explained in detail how to get the maximum benefits of each exercise. He even gave me alternative routines for days that I have less time to work out, or days when I want to mix things up a bit. Before Josh offered his services, I would go to my basement and look at the pile of exercise equipment I’ve collected and feel overwhelmed and lost. Now, I can’t wait to hand my baby off to my husband to go “get my workout on” ”

Every week I see a steady improvement in the way I look and feel and I am amazed at the difference in me from where I started. Josh is a great motivator; I would have easily given up so many times if he wasnt around to push me to be strong. Josh has the experience and knowledge to design so many different permutations and combinations of exercises that I never get bored of working out. I used to hate exercising and now I actually look forward to my sessions with him.

He loves explaining the main principles of a cardio/strength training program and healthy nutrition, so I have learnt a lot from him. His rates are very reasonable. He is also very warm, friendly and fun a great person to know. But what I appreciate the most about him is his active interest in and commitment to my fitness. As an example of his commitment – I wanted to start cycling but it was more than 15 years since the last time I rode a bike. Josh not only helped me get comfortable on a bike again, but also helped me choose and buy my own bike and even worked out a biking cardio program for me. I never thought I could go running, but Josh has got me started running with him once a week. With all his help, I am well on my way to being a much more active, fit and really confident person. Josh not only meets all the expectations one would have of a personal trainer, he exceeds them.”
