• 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...

    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!

    I started working with Joe Ranson and his team after injuring myself running on my own. The PFF Team do an excellent job not only getting you in shape SAFELY, but also motivating you to excel and be accountable for the work or lack or work you put in. That focus has helped me stay consistent in my workouts, has gotten my activity level to new highs, and my diet back on track. I feel better and look better thanks to Joe Ranson and his team. I highly recommend that you stop in a for visit and try for yourself!

  • I have been working with Joe and Passion for Fitness for about a year now. I used to suffer a lot of lower back and knee pain, mostly from imbalances, working posture, and improper form on a lot of exercises. Working with them has put an ...

    Joe is a thorough professional, very knowledgeable about the science of physical fitness, and absolutely the best trainer. He knows how to push you, and how to encourage you. I am glad that I found him, and I have benefitted greatly from his training. I would strongly recommend him to anyone who wants to make sure that they are doing the right type of exercise the correct way to achieve the results they are looking for.
