• Passion for Fitness is not your average chain fitness studio. They specialize in personal training and small classes. So far I can only review the personal training part of it. It starts slow with assessments according to FMS (Function Movement System). This helps avoid injuries and picking the right exercises for you. Due to the assessments I felt slightly underwhelmed at first. I couldn't wait to get started working out hard. But it got hard really quick after the assessment. They really know how to push you to the max of your current ability without pushing you too hard. Joe, the owner, makes your personal well-being, giving you the right program, avoiding injuries and achieving weight-loss goals his personal mission. On my part, I am looking forward to every session. Overall, I highly recommend checking them out.

    Passion for Fitness is a great environment for people of all fitness levels. The trainers do a great job of helping you achieve your goals in a healthy and sustainable way! They do a great job of keeping you accountable too; ask me how I know.... Would absolutely recommended to anyone looking to do group or personal training!

    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 ...

  • 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?”

    Joe and his team are amazing at making people feel welcome and creating a plan targeted plan to meet your goals. They truly care about their clients and encourage them! I have become so much stronger and confident since starting at PFF! I am so lucky to have found the PFF team!

    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!

  • 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.

    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!

    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.
