• Serious adaptable training. Passion for fitness took me from 230 pound novice to 170 pound athlete. Joe and his team understand the all aspects of health and fitness, but incrementally climb you to your highest potential, in an incremental safe manner. I never write reviews but if you’re looking for the best you’ve found it. The only question you need to ask yourself is “am I committed?”

    5 stars are not enough...Joe and his staff really know their stuff! I've been training with Joe for over a year now. He has helped me learn to train safely to prevent injury, gain strength, improve mobility, and stay flexible. My main goal is to be able to play with my grandkids (which I now can do!) and stay fit into my later years. I'm confident in the team at Passion for Fitness and would recommend them to anyone!

    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 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 am training for over all balance and strength. My bone density has improved as a result of Joe's program.

    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 am in my 60’s, and realized that I needed help getting back in shape. The combination of my age, lack of exercise and my numerous health issues caused me to lose muscle mass. I searched online for a personal trainer, and I was fortunate to find Joe Ransom with “Passion for Fitness”. I see Joe for fitness training sessions in his main studio located in the charming community of Eagleview Town Center in Exton, as well as his convenient studio located in the heart of Phoenixville. Joe has been wonderful, and his guidance and expertise is exactly what I needed. He works with clients of all ages and levels of fitness, and he is able to adjust my training and exercises to zero in on what works best for me. His energy and positive motivation instantly put me at ease. I was impressed with his skill and expertise - not only with what exercises I need to get back in shape, but also how to overcome the challenges I face getting to that point. I continue to look forward to my sessions. Joe is very knowledgeable, and I like the personal attention I receive from him rather than at a large, crowded and noisy gym. I am amazed at how much better I feel, and I only wish that I had reached out to Joe and his staff sooner.
