“I am thrilled to have lost 10 pounds in less than a month!”

Jerod,

I want to thank you so much for working with my as a Personal Fitness Trainer.  As you know, I recently retired after 30 years as a professional firefighter, the last eight as a Battalion Chief.  Throughout my career I worked hard to maintain excellent physical fitness.  Now that I am retired, my desire for excellent physical fitness remains the same, but my needs are different.

I joined Spa Fitness at the beginning of September and wanted to get off to a good start.  You came highly recommended as a Personal Fitness Trainer and I feel very fortunate to have been able to utilize your knowledge and experience in helping to get me started in the next phase of my life.  I found you to be extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of physical fitness.

During my initial consult we discussed my goals and objectives in a friendly and supportive atmosphere.  We talked about nutrition, balanced diet, vitamin supplements, physical fitness, medical history and more.  I was very impressed with how thorough our first visit was and it laid the groundwork for what was to come with our six appointments in the workout room.

The physical fitness program that you designed for me worked my entire body.  We worked the upper body, lower body and my core and ended every workout with a good stretching routine.  Although I was fairly sore following the initial workout, by the end of the sixth visit I was feeling much stronger than when I started and I no longer feel the soreness that I felt at the beginning.  I am also thrilled to have lost 10 pounds in less than a month!

I am now following the program that you have designed for me.  Jarod, I can’t thank you enough for your kind, caring and friendly support in helping me as a Personal Fitness Trainer.  I hope to work with you again on an interim basis for a “tune-up” as necessary.

It has been a great experience working with you.  If I hear of anyone looking for a Personal Fitness Trainer, I will give you my highest recommendation.  I’ll see you around at the spa.

Sincerely,

John

Thank you!

“What I noticed was getting noticed more.”

“Jerod was my personal trainer in 2007 and 2008 When I first started I wasn’t overweight, but I definitely wasn’t in shape. I’m petite, 5’4” my activities are dance, cycling, rock climbing, skiing and walking, but I never worked out in a club. My membership came through a business trade With Jerod, there was an instant connection. I felt so completely comfortable and not at all intimidated. He kept me moving through all of the exercises. He pushed me just enough beyond my comfort zone, which is where I needed to be for fitness results! I really got sad leaving him every day. At first, I didn’t notice the changes in my physique, what I noticed was “getting noticed” more. I’m in my 50’s, but attention was coming from 20 somethings… which is certainly nice! Soon, my clothes were fitting much better, my confidence and self-esteem were as high as when I was dancing daily in college. Nike said it best, “Just Do It.” Get in your zone, be one with yourself and your trainer. Set the example for your loved ones. It’s one of the best possible forms of self care. And the benefits of the endorphins are the ultimate high!”

Before__________________________________________After

“I would like to thank you for your help in helping me achieve my fitness goals. I remember when I first went to see Jerod I was on the verge of 190lbs., which was the heaviest I’d ever been. After working with Jerod and maintaining that routine I was able to get back to my normal self at a comfortable 165lbs. I thank you Jerod for helping me when I was struggling in my life, it means a lot. I’m back to my usual motocross routine and feeling better than ever. Thank you once again!”
