    If you are looking for a different kind of trainer, Passion for Fitness is your place. Joe , Tim and staff are unlike any trainers I have ever worked with in the past. What separates them from the rest is mostly their incredible knowledge, observational skills and their individualized approach. The focus is on correct form, preventing injury and moving forward at your own pace. Joe starts with a thorough functional assessment and then devises an individualized plan based on your needs. Honestly, at first it felt slow but as I progressed I began to trust their process ! I initially came to PFF a few weeks before I was having my left knee replaced. I returned after the surgery and months of Physical Therapy but wish I had returned a bit earlier. I honestly think I get a much more individualized, thoughtful treatment regimen from Joe than I did with the PT, which was a fairly "cookie cutter" approach. I have significant amount of weight to lose but have already lost over 20 lbs and feel like I am moving in the right direction again. The staff are enthusiastic, encouraging and nonjudgmental. You sense they want you to do well and are invested in helping you reach your fitness goals and move towards health. You won't be disappointed with PFF !!

    Joe's knowledge and understanding of the human body as it pertains to fitness and health is profound. I'm a fitness junky - I love training, reading and learning about all things fitness - and have been doing so for over a decade. I went to see Joe because I have a herniated disc in my lower back that I've dealt with since high school. And because of my injury, I've always had a mental block with certain movements. The deadlift and squat in particular. In 45 minutes, Joe was able to teach me more about the deadlift than I've learned from several other trainers and online forums. Through breaking down each step in the movement, I was able to not only deadlift pain free, but was also able to increase my weight 50 pounds in my next workouts. Technique is king and Joe wrote the book. Joe is the most knowledgeable trainer I've had the pleasure of working with and my only complaint is that he isn't in San Francisco. If I could, I would work weekly with Joe, as I'm confident he would ensure I meet all of my fitness goals. If you have the opportunity, I cannot encourage you enough to schedule time with Joe. Thanks, Joe. I'm already looking forward to the next time I'm home to get another session.

  • I feel so fortunate to have connected with Joe and the PFF Team! They are fun to train with and have taught me to truly enjoy working out. I feel myself getting stronger with each session and notice a significant improvement in my overall mood and ability to manage daily stressors. Through strength training, I have improved my balance and posture and have increased my performance in daily activities. I have also lost a significant amount of weight. Joe, Josh, Beth & Ryan have all been my biggest cheerleaders and never let me get discouraged. They have celebrated each one of my achievements and continue to inspire and keep me motivated to improve my health and performance. They have also made themselves available any time I had a question or concern. Prior attempts at working out were inconsistent due to pain and muscle spasms. This has not been my experience working with the PFF team, as they make sure that I am prepared for each exercise and I am able to make consistent gains. I have personal goals that I know I can reach with the continued coaching and guidance of Passion for Fitness. Thank you Joe, Josh, Beth & Ryan!

  • Why did I join Passion for Fitness? A couple reasons, first off, the owner Joe is a neighbor of mine in Eagleview and we were talking about what gym I belong too and at the time I had stopped my membership at another gym due to the intensity of the bootcamp and overall program for someone over 50 with knee and low back issues. Joe talked to me for 30 minutes about the back, how it works and how we prone to injury the back is if we don't learn to workout correctly. I joined and saw and felt immediate benefits. Then it happened, I was traveling for work, 8 weeks on the road, three to four days a week at least, not good for the back. I ended up in the ER 2x within a month for 10/10 pain in my low back. I herniated one or two Lumbar discs. Ouch! Joe had me come in two times a week to learn how to help heal the herniation and begin to "load" correctly, understand what was happening to my lower back. With knowledge came power and improvement. This is the first time I could see and feel my back healing. After two weeks, multiple sessions and doing my homework/exercises at home, i can now see myself having a healthy back and getting back to the activities I enjoy in life. I live in Eagleview, if you do, get to Passion For Fitness, its not a "pop-up" fad gym, its not a "cross fit" model that only promotes over use of muscles and can cause injury, but a method of healing and gaining strength, core, and confidence! The staff is engaging, passionate and extremely well knowledgeable on all aspects of being healthy from workouts to nutrition, they have you covered! Phew....I have a new, old back and thrilled!

    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

    Joe is incredibly knowledgable about the body and spends a lot of time researching and understanding my unique points of injury and dysfunction. He is methodical, specific, and precise. He knows how to build strength while correcting dysfunction and avoiding further injury. It is clear he really cares about the wellbeing of his clients. He is genuine and extremely passionate about what he does. It feels great to be in good hands and also to be supporting an upstanding small business owner.
