Testimonials
"Do you ever see someone at the gym who has desire and passion but not sure how to use it? Someone who is always there but never really sees results? Well that person was me. Every day I was hitting the weights with no REAL plan or routine just waiting and hoping for a transformation. Joe approached me asking if I would like to work out with him someday. He was a personal trainer for that gym which I didn't know at the time but Joe didn't care to tell me. Me seeing how big he was it was an easy yes! My workouts usually lasted 30-40min, a quick in and out. Joe took me through the most intense back workout. During this workout I learned the most important principle...DRIVE! After that first workout I saw Joe as "my trainer"; but workout after workout we grew closer and closer. Why? Because we found each others limits & breaking points and helped each other push pass them! That's when I started to notice improvements in my strength, physique, and mind. These workouts weren't different types of exercises that most trainers make up to make you feel like you're doing something beneficial. Joe taught me every single fundamental and made sure I had each and every one down to a "T". He THEN would up the weight, add dropsets or add slower reps. Joe also helped me improve my nutrition to really coincide with the training. He gave me a nutrition plan and kept me accountable. This was huge when it came to really seeing results! Later in January I heard about a popular power lifting competition that was scheduled for March (a little over a month later). I asked Joe if I had time to train and he said "yes, but you have to do exactly as I say". He gave me a very specific strength workout plan for that whole month of February. Following this plan to the "T" and following the nutrition plan I began training for this competition. March came by faster then I could imagine! Long story short, I won 1st place in my class!! Joe not only trained me but came out and supported me! That's the kind of man he is. He truly cares about his clients & friends success! As months went on, Joe became my mentor and developed me into a personal trainer of my own. He invested so much into me I had to pass it on to others! I am who I am because of Joe's influence in my life. I have no regrets and if you choose to train with him, you will not either! I encourage everyone who has the opportunity to train with him to go for it! You WILL see results and you WILL gain a true friend!”

“Training with Joe was one of the most rewarding experiences I've dedicated myself to. He doesn't just treat every client the same, but rather gets to understand your goals and body type to help get you where you want to be. He understands the perfect balance of not pushing too hard, yet making you SWEAT like no tomorrow by the end of the session. He is a trained professional that knows what he is talking about. Anytime I had a question, he had answers. Highly recommend Joe, if you're looking to put in the work and see results! “

I spent 29 years of my life being complacent. I was always an active child and teenager and physical fitness was just thought of as playing outside with friends. It all came easy, and I was content with being average. That mindset quickly started disabling my body and mind over the course of my twenties. I had a good job with a lot of freedom, which for me meant, “Where’s the best lunch spot?” This mindset allowed me to pack on the pounds and increase my body fat percentage at a morbidly obese rate. I lost confidence and gained social anxiety.
I had spent over ten years slowly killing myself being overweight and content. After countless failed ‘diets’ and unused paid gym memberships it was time for a reality check. I made a commitment to myself that I would give ten percent of that wasted time into trying to flip that switch. I dropped the soda and the beer and picked up the walking shoes and my headphones. I dropped 20 pounds in 2 months! I was on my way... or so I thought. I hit a stale mate - I lacked knowledge and a thought-out plan on where I wanted to be. Enough was enough.

"Joe puts great detail into his programs, and will answer the same question a few different ways until his clients understand. His personal training sessions are brutal yet educational, and will teach you how to train with true intensity. From working with Joe, I learned how to properly execute certain exercises that I had been doing wrong, and how to optimally engage each muscle group. His knowledge is valuable, and his sincere desire to help others is rare in the fitness industry."

"I was 60 years old, terribly out of shape and had not worked out regularly for many years. I was concerned because I had both of my knees replaced a few years earlier and didn’t want to do anything to hurt them. I also struggle with rheumatoid and osteo arthritis. I decided I would hire a personal trainer to keep me focused, motivated and to learn the appropriate exercises for me. Joe was assigned to work with me. From day one, Joe was attentive to my needs and my concerns. He was patient but also pushed me to do more than I ever thought I could do. He was careful to watch my form to ensure I would not be hurt by any of the exercises. He was always encouraging, motivating and kind to me. He is knowledgeable about how the body works. He answered all my questions and explained the exercises and what each one is meant to do to help me achieve my goal of being stronger in my functional daily living. We worked on everything from improving balance to building stability and muscle tone through strength training and cardio health through conditioning. Working with Joe as a personal trainer was a positive experience for me. I would recommend him to work with a variety of different individuals. If he can help to get me in shape and motivated me to work out, he can probably do it for most other people, as well."

“I have worked with Joe for the better part of a year. We chatted in a Facebook group for a while and then I realized he actually lifted at my gym. Small world. I have had lofty goals and yet he reigns me in and keeps me focused. Through diet and training I've achieved more than I ever have on my own. My physique has been pushed into the right direction and diet has gotten significant better. He does an amazing job and being real and telling you how things are. He is very patient and works with you and you’re limitations. I highly recommend working with him. “

“After trying many trainers over a year and a half I was introduced to Joe. I didn’t realize how little information every PT I had previously trained with knew. Not only does Joe listen to what you say but he also make sure your completely understand a movement. As Joe has very different training styles then most other people, it is a bit strange the first few times but every movement hits the muscle your looking for exactly the way you want to hit it, and if it doesn’t he will instantly change and listen to what you say as well as questions. “
