Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: Thank you for taking the time to visit my profile. I'd like to take a moment and introduce myself: Congratulations! You've decided it's time to take action and change your lifestyle; which often isn't easy. I truly believe the first step is the most difficult one, but often the most important. My name is Rich Noto, and I have been working professionally as a certified personal trainer for over 20 years. I graduated with honors from West Chester University of Pennsylvania with a bachelor's of science degree in Kinesiology (study of human movement) and Nutrition. My clientele list includes people from a wide range of abilities, such as, individuals with limited or no training experience, individuals needing to break plateaus, gain lean muscle mass, lose weight, get more toned, rehabilitation, increase strength, youth sports performance, and all the way up to collegiate and professional athletes. After graduating college with honors, my professional career started as a thriving Private Trainer at New York City's premier training facility, The Sports Club- LA Rockefeller Center. Within my first year at The Sports Club, I was promoted to Master Trainer. During that time, I immersed myself in my career, perpetually learning and growing as a trainer, and as a person. I maintained a strong work ethic and endlessly strove to become one of the best in my field. Upon relocating to San Diego I became a Fitness Manager of a newly built upscale health club. As the fitness manager, I created and developed their highly successful personal training program. After these accomplishments, the natural progression of my career was to open my own personal training business: Visualize Fitness. After living in San Diego for more than a decade, I decided to start my next chapter in Arizona and open a fitness studio: Fitness 48. I want to take my success and experience achieved in California and apply those lessons in Arizona. At my facility, clients can achieve their results in a welcoming, clean, and positive environment. I’m proud to continue Visualize Fitness at my studio and throughout the Phoenix metro area. I'm also looking forward to helping more clients achieve their fitness goals. Although I am an experienced and educated trainer, I often struggle with the same challenges my clients face. Just because I am a trainer does not mean I want to eat healthy foods for every meal and have the motivation to workout every day! Guess what… YOU DON’T HAVE TO EITHER. What fun would life be if that was the only path to your goals? I could never imagine giving up pizza or ice cream! Personal training is NOT a diet or a trainer barking orders at you in the gym. It is a lifestyle change; a lifestyle change that allows you to enjoy the pleasures in life while still achieving your goals. I develop a valuable trust and personal relationship with all my clients. I always encourage my clients to call or text me at any time, whether they have questions or maybe just need to talk. It is important to remember that as your trainer and friend, I will be by your side every step of the way, progressing with you on your life changing fitness journey. In addition to personal training, you will receive an education. After completion of training, my clients possess the skills and knowledge to maintain their lifestyles and physique. In fact, their friends and family often ask them for advice! If you are reading this, it may be because you are seeking a change in your health, confidence, or appearance. There is no better way to achieve your fitness goals than with a personal trainer. Let's face it, getting fit is not easy. If it were, everyone would be in shape. However, you can make it easier and more fun by allowing someone with the experience and knowledge to guide you. You bring your dedication, and I will do the rest. Sincerely, Rich

It is clear from the start that rich knows what he’s talking about, our very first session before every different workout he would make sure to explain his thought process and what exactly was being worked out. He’s very upfront and honest about the work required to change your body to fit your wants/needs. Very friendly and easy to work with, I was a little hesitant getting a trainer in case of personality clash or such but that was never a problem with Rich. I am very optimistic about reaching my goals of getting in shape thanks to Rich

Honestly, can’t say enough good about this person. He’s helping me stay fit and healthy during pregnancy, I’m currently in my second trimester and am becoming stronger every day! I feel so energetic and like I could do so much more because of working out in a safe way. He listens, he’s responsive, respectful and more importantly— he knows how to train people to reach their personal fitness goals in addition to having a good understanding of nutrition. Can’t wait to do post natal workouts with him in the future, I’m super excited!

I’m new to the whole personal trainer thing – but Rich is awesome!! I had zero self-motivation before starting with him – and within days it was the complete opposite. He doesn’t waste time, which is important to me. I show up and we get started right away. He’s very supportive, kind, and caring. I had a difficult experience my first session and thought I was going to have to cut things short – but with his help I got back to it and was able to finish the session. For once in my life, I look forward to working out and making more progress. He is also very knowledgeable and shares great excercise tips for my days off. Definitely recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I have been seeing Rich for just over one month and have been incredibly pleased with his professionalism and the quality of service. He’s made an effort to work with me and meet me where I’m at instead of insisting life style changes from day one. His step by step and carefully tailored approach is refreshing and has been producing results as early as four weeks into training.
