Client testimonials

"After training with Calvin for almost 9 years, it’s sometimes hard to remember where I was when I started.  I do know that I am much stronger, healthier and I sleep much better.  I have dropped several sizes in clothes, and I have definition in my arms, shoulders and back.  The best part is that this has happened without the fear of “bulking up”.  I am leaner and much more fit.  It’s nice when people say that I look good and healthy.  Sometimes when you go through a transformation, and get into shape, you look pale and unhealthy.

I really appreciate that our training sessions are 1 on 1 and tailored to my goals and abilities.  I enjoy being pushed and value that Calvin understands that.  Over the years I have had several injuries, and he has tweaked my workout sessions so that I could still have maximum gain.  Calvin takes the time to get to know you as a person and to understand what your objectives and targets are.  You are not just a client to him. 

I would tell anyone that was thinking about trying the program that they have nothing to lose and everything to gain…you are making an investment in yourself, your future and your family.  And if they are thinking that they will have to give up every food they love, they are wrong.  It’s not about a “diet”, it’s about making smart choices and eating foods that are delicious and nutritious.  When you make the decision to say yes, you will not regret it."

"I have been training with Calvin for quite some time and I have seen an extreme change in my endurance, a consistency in my weight and increase in my muscle. Through my workouts with Calvin I find it has strengthened my core putting less strain on areas of my body where I had previously experienced pain.

The best part of my training sessions with Calvin is the dedication he has to helping his clients reach their goals. He pays very close attention to every exercise I am doing to make sure I am doing them properly. He is interested in my success in my program.

My experience working with private fitness and nutrition coaching helps me stay focused on achieving and maintaining my goals. The accountability is extremely important for me. I found trying to do this on my own would find excuses to avoid workouts. Working with a personal trainer I never make an excuse."

"My body has become stronger as a whole.  I have more stamina and energy throughout the day.  I am more toned. Calvin will challenge every workout either by increasing weights/ resistance of each exercise and by adding new exercises to our sessions.  He is always mixing it up. He constantly monitors each exercise so it is properly done for maximum benefit and to prevent injury."

“I have been working out with Cal for over 10 years now and what I enjoy most is that every session is different.  He mixes up every workout, every week focusing on different muscle groups and utilizing different resistance machines, but always incorporating free weights as well. 

I never know what the workout will be and I could never do this without having Cal training me and planning out the sessions.  Every workout is unique and by the end of the week its a full body workout that hits all the major muscle groups.  I enjoy learning the different techniques and how switching up an exercise even in a small way can make a big difference in how the muscles react or what muscles are impacted most.   

Cal also brings expertise when it comes to nutrition and whether you are trying to build muscle, just maintain your current physical form, or lose weight, it's always about BOTH nutrition AND training.  Trying to just workout or just diet a certain way will NEVER achieve the same results as being committed to both working out and eating properly. 

Changing my diet over the years has also been a huge benefit and what I have learned from talking to Cal just during our training sessions about nutrition has made a huge impact on my energy, focus and even sleep. By no means do I adhere to any strict diet, but I’m always aware and that awareness even makes a difference. I always know when I start feeling sluggish with less energy what I need to do to get myself back on track.

Personal, private training is a financial commitment but I have found it to be one of the best investments I’ve made in my life and in my quality of life as a result of how I feel after training with Cal. I workout in the morning before work and it's the best way to start my day with the most energy and a positive outlook. I’ve been working out with a personal trainer for over 20 years and Cal is without a doubt one of the best, most knowledgeable, but also personable I’ve had the pleasure of meeting and working with.

Highly, highly recommend!!! 5 stars all the way!!!”

"I simply was in the best shape of my life at age 54. I never felt better. The one on one attention. Being pushed farther than you believed you could be.

Simply do it. It will be by far the best money you spend. I don't believe I could have done it on my own (I know I would never have pushed myself so hard). You're investing in yourself."

-Greg K. 

"I have gained strength ... both physically and emotionally. My mood and outlook have grown stronger, my stress level has decreased, and I feel strong and healthy.

The sessions are individualized and challenging. Calvin is always focused and prepared, friendly and social, but holds high expectations to be accomplished each session. I have realized I would never work so hard independently.  

The consistency, the commitment and the personal connection make personal training a great choice. This is something I have actually stayed committed to, versus a gym membership that I might inconsistently use. It is also phenomenal to have a knowledgeable trainer work with my specific needs."
