    I joined Passion for Fitness 4 months ago and I am happy and satisfied with my decision. Having been quite inactive for a while, Joe and his staff helped draft a suitable fitness plan to get me going step-by-step, getting stronger, and motivating me to work out everyday, especially the days I don't go there. The boutique is unique in that the focus is on motivating you to do your best based on your current health, rather than crossing off your list of things to do...

    I have recently started with Joe Ransom at Passion For Fitness. I see him in his Phoenixville and Exton office. I have been extremely satisfied with the fitness program. Joe is very knowledgeable from an anatomic and physiological standpoint to individualize my program of exercise and strength training to improve my physical status. I highly recommend Passion For Fitness for anyone who is looking to improve their physical condition. Joe’s individual, personal approach is safe and specialized and has worked very well for me in my quest for physical improvement.

  • I have been training here with Joe and his incredible team for 4 months now and it is changing my lifestyle. I love the personal training- the trainers KNOW what they are doing and can help ensure your movements are right so that you get the workout you want without getting hurt. And the Honking classes are an incredible, butt-kicking cardio burn. You have to try out the honking bikes to know what I mean, they are incredible and like nothing you have tried before! All of the workout NONE of the lower back pain. I cannot say enough good things about Joe and his "Passion for Fitness!"

    My life and body have changed because of Passion For Fitness. I have never had a consistent workout regimen. I started running and had gotten hurt and could not find any motivation to exercise. I met with Joe Ransom and knew that I found a home. I look forward to every workout because they are all different. My days of physical therapy are over. Joe and his team have helped me to stretch and strenghten my problem areas as well as push me when necessary. I could not imagine working out anywhere else. The environment is private and I love the relationships I have built with all of the trainers.

    My 91 year old mother was having issues continuing her daily walking routine as her back was hurting her and severely limiting her mobility. In June of 2021 she started noticing she wasn't able to walk her normal 2 to 3 miles. By August she was only able to walk around the block and was in a lot of pain while walking and sitting. We reached out to Joe to see if there was something he could do to help her reduce her pain and get her back to walking 2 to 3 miles. After the consult Joe immediately identified the issue and said he would be able to help her. She started with 2 day a week sessions on September 28th and now after 2 months she is now able to walk her 2 miles without any issues. Joe also has her working out with 15 lb kettlebells. Her mobility improvement is nothing short of amazing. She looks forward to getting up each day to do her exercises and daily walks. Thank you Joe for doing an outstanding job giving my mother her mobility back!

    After a two year hiatus, I am back to personal training and I am thrilled that I found Passion for Fitness! What makes Joe and his team stand out from my other personal training experiences is the focus on proper form and body alignment first before adding any weight. I thought the pain I experienced in my lower back was a normal part of lifting heavy weights. In working with Joe and team, I realized I’m using my back incorrectly and my form needs to improve. Because of this “form first” approach, I’m happy to say that I don’t feel back pain after a workout!
