  • I've been lucky enough to have been coming to PFF for over 2 years now. The trainers here have been nothing but excellent. I have a form of Cerebral Palsy called Spastic Diplegia and originally just wanted a way to get more activity in my week but they took the time to know me and my disability. Now i'm walking better, standing taller, and feel better about myself then ever before. I'm so glad I decided to reach out to Joe and his team! I would highly recommend them to anyone! Edit: It's been 4 years now and still going strong. The trainers are fun and genuinely care about getting you where you want to be. Because of my CP I'm focusing on keeping my flexibility and mobility in check and thanks to the trainers here they've kept me engaged and keep coming back every week!

    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 ...

    I’ve been training at Passion for Fitness with their personal trainers, and it has truly made a difference in my fitness journey. I feel much stronger and have gained a lot of strength thanks to their guidance. Joe, along with his team—Julie and Tim—are absolutely wonderful. They work with you at your own pace, ensuring a supportive and motivating environment. I can’t thank them enough for the incredible atmosphere they’ve created. I’m so happy to have found Passion for Fitness!

  • Joe is an absolutely fantastic trainer and coach who can help any individual trying to lose weight, and gain strength. After years of trying and struggling with my teen who had put on a lot of weight and not being enthusiastic about training or being active, he was able to get to her and get her buy-in on eating healthy and staying active. For the first time in her teen years she is excited for the prospect and future of becoming healthy, active, and dare I say authentic and strong 💪 Joe and his trainers at both locations care about their clients individually and if you or someone you know are struggling with eating healthy and losing weight / exercising and keeping that motivation and energy going, then Joe and his team are going to be up to the task for anyone any age. Trust the process that Joe sets for you, follow the playbook and you will get there ! Two thumbs up, way up!

    I have been attending Passion for Fitness for over 7 months. I started with personal training then small group training. I've tried getting into shape by myself several times over the years but never stuck with it. Going to training helps keep me accountable and motivated. In small group training I lift weights, and do body weight exercises. My trainer is always reminding me to use good form and pushing me to try harder. They have dumbbells, kettle bells, bikes and TRXs so I can do a variety of exercises. The trainers there, worked with me to adjust exercises to my ability. I've gotten stronger, improve my posture and overall health.

    No gimmicks, no potions: just plain and simple hard work that will show you results. Joe Ransom has an excellent team of trainers that will help you reach your goals. Their formula is simple: Core Strength training, Cardo and a proper diet all lead up to a healthy new you! Remember - this isn't a gym, this is a personal fitness training studio. It's not for everyone, only those that want to get serious results in a timely fashion. I'm glad I have it a try, it worked for me.

  • As my time in the 30’s comes to an end and 40 is right around the corner, I recognized the critical need to pay closer attention to my health now more than ever. With a history of heart disease in my family and cholesterol levels slightly above where they should be despite being in average shape, it was time to make a concentrated investment in my health. Sitting out one evening in Eagleview Town Center, a friend mentioned Passion for Fitness and the incredible results he had achieved by working with the experienced and knowledgeable trainers at PFF. I delayed the decision for a few months, but recently took that step forward to a healthier lifestyle. Understanding that the physical component is only one aspect of a well- balanced lifestyle, I began adjusting my nutrition and consulted with a cardiologist solely based upon my family history. In my first 7 weeks, I dropped just under 8 pounds. Participation with both personal training sessions coupled with the available classes, has made me realize this journey is taking me down a much better path. Our health often times is pushed to the back burner with a lack of time being the primary reason. My time at PFF is now part of my routine because I have made it a priority. I have already seen and believe I will continue to see the results I expect.

    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!

    I found Passion For Fitness right after graduating from Gettysburg College with a degree in Health Sciences. I joined the team as a trainer and have learned a great deal to add to my education. The team at Passion For Fitness do a great job of meeting the individual needs of each client. It is a great community to be a part of, and the health and fitness benefits are unmatched! I am happy to be a part of the team.
