Here's what three of my clients had to say about training with me: Client 1: LaRue began working with my daughter in the spring of her Freshman year in high school and continued for over three years. At the time we began to see LaRue my daughter, a four year varsity basketball player, was beginning to have a lot of trouble rolling her ankles and the problems were spreading to her knees. We initially saw LaRue to strengthen her to avoid those chronic problems and try to avoid any of the serious injuries female athletes are prone to, particularly ACL tears. LaRue’s expertise in injury avoidance in female athletes is like nothing I’ve ever seen and I’m happy to report my daughter ceased having major ankle rolls and never had anything more serious. But her work with LaRue had other benefits as well. Her physical and mental strength both grew immensely and her speed improved amazingly. On top of all that LaRue knows out to work with young people. He’s inspirational and makes it fun and he’s a great role model. We were so lucky to have found him and it’s not possible for me to recommend him any higher! (AS) Client 2: I have been obese my entire life, and was over 100+ overweight when I began working with LaRue. I was nervous and didn’t know what to expect. I had always believed that a professional trainer was more interested in working with professional athletes than overweight women. Plus, I had seen personal trainers at work in local gyms, and they just seemed robotic and cookie cutter in their approach. I was very fortunate to find LaRue. He was very respectful and made me feel very comfortable, which was greatly appreciated as I was already extremely self-conscious about my body. He carefully evaluated my fitness level and created a program that considered both my capabilities and limitations. The routines and programs he developed for me changed many times over the course of our partnership, as I steadily improved my fitness level and lost 92 pounds. Best of all, I had a lot of fun in the process, as LaRue has a natural ability to relate to people of all ages and walks of life; loves helping others to achieve their goals; and has an infectious positive energy that makes you WANT to succeed. (AM) Client 3: “I’m so happy that I found you to train me. I’ve been a regular exerciser for years but due to injuries, aches and pains, I had gotten to the place where I was afraid to do much for fear of hurting myself more. You showed me how to get back into exercising without injuring myself, and you helped me go further than I ever thought I could. Now I’m building my strength, and I feel empowered to continue my exercise program. The care you take to get to know your clients and to customize a program for them is awesome. You’re obviously very knowledgeable and experienced, and you are great to work with! Thanks so much.” (BP, Springfield, VA) I love helping people. Helping my clients to help themselves to reach their health and fitness goals is my passion. I enjoy the personal interaction, and not only training but teaching. All of my clients learn more about how their bodies work and can take ownership of their own health and fitness.
