Client Testimonials

"I have been on a mission for the last 2 years at least to build muscle and strengthen my bones. In 2005 the Dr. did a heel bone density and it came out to -1.6. My doctor wanted to prescribe Actonel, I refused at that time.

In February 2006 I had a full bone density test and the results were not good. The overall rating was -3.6 and I was diagnosed with osteopenia. I have always participated in some type of exercise along with regular walking. My doctor convinced me that I really needed to take Actonel, so I did. I took it for about 10 months and then stopped taking it. I just didn’t like all the side affects and was not convinced that this was the answer.

I started using the Highmark Fitness Center in late 2005 thru January 2007, which consisted of using equipment to build muscle. As a Blue Shield retiree the Fitness Center was free for me, so if it was working that was OK. However, I became very bored with it.

For Christmas in 2006 my daughter gave me a gift certificate for classes at ‘Fit For You’ with Joe Green. She had been going and really liked the classes. So I decided to try it out in February 2007 and have been going ever since.

I just had a full bone density test on March 10, 2008, and there has been improvement to a rating of -3.1. That’s 5 points to the good, which it is said that it’s difficult to reverse these numbers. However this number needs to continue to increase to at least a -2.0.

I attribute all my accomplishments and success to Joe Green. He makes it fun and non-routine, I always look forward to each and every class. When I started last February, 3 pound weights were heavy for me, now I can work with 8 pound weights with ease. I have gained more strength and muscle by his workouts than any machine could do. I know that fitness classes will be necessary for the rest of my life and I plan to continue these with Joe. He is an excellent trainer."

"My mother and sister both have severe osteoporosis so my family history raised issues of concern for me. I no longer liked the way that I felt or how I looked in my clothes and I had been thinking for some time about joining a fitness center, but didn’t feel I would utilize the facilities or that I would get enough personal attention. I saw Joe’s ad on the marquee and heard good things about him from others who had worked with him, so I called and set up an appointment.

My initial goal was to simply lose weight. I have learned the truth about what it really takes to be healthy and fit and how to achieve it from the inside out. I’ve come to find out through working with Joe as my personal fitness coach that there is more to total body fitness than just losing weight. I am losing inches, building up muscle and eating healthy without dieting or starving myself!

I have been working with Joe for 3 months now. Losing body fat and inches safely has made it all worthwhile. I have dropped at least one size and will soon be down another size. My energy has increased and my knees no longer cause me any pain. Just another great bonus.

Joe has really made the difference for me and I intend to keep working with him to further enhance my results. His blend of professionalism and great sense humor has helped me to stay to motivated and to enjoy working towards my goals. I love the personal follow up emails with exercise tips and healthy recipes. Every session is FUN!"

P.S. My husband can also attest to the fact that working with Joe is working out great for me. I have already recommended Joe to a few co-workers and I am thinking of getting my 27-year-old daughter a gift certificate for a 12-week session.
