• I couldn't recommend Passion for Fitness enough! Prior to working with Joe and his team, I was having reccuring and painful back issues (my back went out 4 times in 6 months). I have been working with the Passion for Fitness team for 6 months now and have not had a single back incident. It feels really good to have my life back and to be active again.

    I was looking for help to regain mobility to improve performance in a variety of sports after suffering many injuries. In 2 months, i have already achieved measurable performance gains. The training staff is respectful of the issues associated with injuries. The training is laid out as a journey ensuring the motions are done correctly and then gradually loaded with weights. Joe's knowledge of how the body works and how it compensates for injuries/lack of flexibility is second to none. This has been exactly what i needed and recommend it to any athlete with nagging injuries or flexibility issues that wants to train for performance. In addition, the small group classes are excellent. Joe's "honking" bike is innovative and effective. Its cool to be at a place on the cutting edge of fitness, both technology and methodology.

  • After several unsatisfied visits to physical therapy for my dropped foot(nerve damage), I decided I would need a personal trainer to strengthen my muscles also boost my confidence level! I wanted someone who understands my struggle. Only ones who have dropped foot problem would understand the struggle. Not even the doctors. Guess what? I found a gem right by me, Phoenixville, PA. I'm absolutely thrilled to introduce Passion for Fitness. They are located in Phoenixville, PA and Exton, PA. Joe , Tim and the team are amazing trainers. When I walked into gym , I felt like a noodle, no strength and low self confidence. Joe right away recognized my situation and he was so knowledgeable , I was so happy that someone actually understands my struggle. Today , I'm already seeing major improvements. It's been only 3 months! Thank you Joe, Tim and rest of Passion for Fitness team. I wish I met you way before but its never too late! All the best and I see very bright future for you all . Hip, Hip, Hooray! Sincerely HS

    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!

  • I have been working out with Passion for Fitness for the last few months and have nothing but good things to say. While I already had a regular workout routine, I was getting minor injuries and nagging aches and pains from my running and ...

    My wife and I have been athletically active our entire lives. We exercise regularly and have worked with a variety of personal trainers. Over the past several years aches and pains were starting to restrict the range and intensity of our workouts. We have been working with Joe for about a month and amazed with our initial results. For the first time in a long time we are experiencing fitness without pain and how to exercise correctly. Joe is a master at identifying and correcting issues affecting our performance. He and his team truly deliver "personal" / customized training. We are thrilled to have found Passion For Fitness!

    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!
