I have worked with Dan to prepare for both my lacrosse and soccer seasons and have noticeably improved in speed and strength. He has me do lots of exercises that work on fast twitch muscles, which help with my quickness and my first-step. He also incorporates lots of strength training into the sessions in a way that gives me the muscle mass that I need to compete at a high level without inhibiting my speed or agility. Overall, my ability to perform on the field has been greatly improved after working with Dan and I feel faster, stronger, and more ready to compete.

Dan is a fantastic trainer and we are happy to recommend him without reservation. We've both worked with several personal trainers over the course of the years and we know that Dan is top notch. He is exceptionally professional, extremely knowledgeable about his field, and has a friendly easy going manner, important when you're getting up at 5 something AM to exercise with someone!
We have very different goals and Dan has the flexibility and knowledge to cater to each of us and our individual needs. Our workouts are varied and fun. We both have met our initial goals with Dan and have moved on to set new goals. Finally, and perhaps most important, Dan has been very sensitive to working around injury and he places our safety as his highest priority. Cliff has had a chronic back problem for 15 years and Dan has the knowledge to design Cliff's workouts so that further injury doesn't happy. Having worked with many trainers, we know that too many trainers have a "no pain, no gain" attitude and have their clients doing things that can cause injury. One of the things we appreciate most about Dan is that has the knowledge, and is always taking continuing education classes to learn more, so that he can design programs for his clients so that no injuries occur.

I have been training with Charlie for over 2 years and enjoy my increased flexibility and strength. Charlie has an in-depth understanding of training that he uses to tailor an excellent individual work-out plan. He listens and creates a unique regimen that has variety to maintain interest while continuing to focus on the overall plan. I recommend him highly and look forward to many years of keeping fit and staying healthy.

Training with Dan has taken my game to the next level. He combines speedwork, strength training, conditioning, and stretching to create a program that maximizes your body's potential. I have worked with Dan for about a year and each session he introduces new exercises to target different muscle groups. I am constantly challenged both mentally and physically. Dan motivates you to push your body to the limit, while his enthusiasm makes workouts enjoyable. Working with Dan is an integral part of my training and has dramatically improved my performance on the squash court. I couldn't ask for a better trainer!

Chris Petraglia has been training me for a year now. I came to him when I was at my low. At the time I had been struggling with my weight and felt down about myself. I was extremely depressed and trapped. Before him my exercise routine consisted of only cardio, thinking that was the proper way to stay fit and boy was I wrong. Chris challenged me from day one. I knew immediately that I have been training myself incorrectly and learned how out of shape I was. With his education and experience, he taught me the proper way to train. Within a month I had already seen a difference in my body. Throughout the year, I have seen a difference in my self esteem. Not only has Chris trained me physically, he trained me mentally. He taught me how to focus and gave me confidence to reach my goal. I gained confidence in the gym, I was also confident outside the gym. I felt my personality blossom. Today, I am 33 years old and feel I am in the best shape ever. I feel great; feel stronger and very happy with my body. I am truly grateful for having the pleasure to meet and train with Chris. They always say certain people will come in your life and make a significant change. He's that person to me. No words can ever express my gratitude towards him.

I have been training with Dan for nearly two years. I can say that I am in much better physical shape, with more flexibility and strength. More important, certain activities that used to cause discomfort I find greatly improved performance and reduced discomfort. Dan is also extremely reliable and pleasant to spend time with each week. I highly recommend his services.

Dan has a complete understanding of the areas of that body that need to be strengthened to improve the golf swing. By combining strengthening, core training and flexibility he has helped me increase distance and improve my balance and develop a more far more stable base. Dan is reliable and easy and fun to work with.

It has been 10 years that I have been training with Charlie. He has gotten me back to my original weight after two pregnancies. He helped me to maintain my weight throughout the years with diet and exercise. I am very active I many sports and he has helped me through strength training to build my core as well as work on muscle weakness to prevent injuries. I plan to be very active for a long time and happy I have Charlie to help keep me fit.
