I had the pleasure of working with Joe for the last 4 months in preparation for a modeling event I had earlier this month. I'm a guy that, prior to working with Joe, had made it to the gym 5-6 days a week. But I had always been interested in working with a personal trainer to see if I could push my results to another level. The biggest thing I looked for in a trainer was that he either currently, or had been, where I wanted to get. Joe was that guy. Whether you are looking to casually get in better shape or prepare for an upcoming competition, you definitely need to sit down and talk with Joe. You're not just paying for a one hour workout with Joe, he is accessible anytime. He works to understand your goals and puts in a lot of work outside of the training sessions to make sure he is prepared with a great workout. He also checks up with you to see how you're feeling and provides advice and answers your questions anytime. I will be able to take the things I learned from Joe and apply them for the rest of my life. He educates you on proper lifting, cardio, and nutrition. Having a trainer that understands proper nutrition is huge and really invaluable. A nutritionalist alone costs more then what Joe charges for all he does. I could really tell he cared about getting me to where I needed to be and that meant a lot. I was always skeptical about paying a personal trainer, but after working with Joe I hate working out by myself. My results were awesome! If you are motivated and committed to getting the results you want, Joe can get you there. Call him, its worth the free consultation!

Thanks Brian. You forgot to mention you dropped your body fat from 15% down to 3.7%. That's phenomenal. Not to mention winning one of your contests and placing top 10 in the modeling show! Kudos to your hard work man. It's been a pleasure.

Having Joe for a personal trainer was what I needed in order to get to meet my goal. I had tried training on my own but it wasn't working and I was not getting the results that I was hoping for. First, out of all the trainers I looked into, Joe was the only one who was knowledgable about diastasis recti. My doctor at the time told me there were two ways to fix it: surgery or training. Joe trained me into fixing my condition without the need of surgery. I am forever grateful to him for this. It took about 6 months to close my gap. We worked on a diet that was realistic. His approach is very easy and simple. If you follow it, stick to it and continue to do it, you can't fail. You just can't! What I really enjoyed about training with Joe was the one on one training with him. He was able to teach me how to use the equipments correctly and do the workout routines correctly. That meant with correct form, you are able to get maximum results during your time at the gym. He really pushed you to do your best and to give your all. Joe is a very positive person. He strives for you to do your best. My hour with him, always went by very quick! He's professional and reliable. He cares about his clients. I never felt like he was watching the clock or he didn't want to be there during our training sessions. He truly loves helping people get into shape and being healthy. I was able to get my prebaby body back before I had my baby. My husband was very skeptical about getting a personal trainer at first but he's very happy with the results. He husband appreciates Joe for helping me achieve my goal and getting my body back to what it was. Whatever goal you are trying to obtain, Joe will help you succeed. He isn't there to see you fail but to see you go above and beyond your goal(s).

Joe is the fitness guru! Professional, outgoing personality, attention to detail. His knowledge of nutrition is awesome! He is going to help me achieve all my goals with his approach. I wish I had done this earlier, but you have to start somewhere!
