    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.

    I have been going to PFF for about 3 mos now and I am so glad I joined. I had been working out for 30 years and after all that time I have finally found the "smart" way to train. Joe and his team are very knowledgeable and the sessions are personalized to my long term goals. I have already seen a difference and feel so much better than when I was doing the same old routines that were actually harmful in the long run. Joining PFF was one of the best decisions I have made in a long time.

    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 is the BEST. He cares about his clients on a personal level which separates him from the rest. I have been to many trainers over the years, but no one with the exceptional attention to detail that Joe has. Truly a game changer.

    Deciding that I needed to work with a personal trainer was one of the most important decisions I have made in last few years. Because of medical issues, I gained almost 100 lbs and at 69 years old, it seemed impossible for me to lose it even though I tried many programs and plans in the last 10 years. When I did a on-line search in February 2021, Bark opened up and I was able to check out several trainers, one of which was Passion for Fitness. Within a few minutes of putting in my information, I was contacted by Joe Ransom. It was only then I realized that he was on the East Coast and I was on the West coast, but because PFF was doing virtual training, it might work. Talking with Joe was so motivating and he laid out such a cohesive plan for me, that I knew it was a good fit. Since that time I have worked with several members of the PFF team and I have been amazed at the consistency they show. I have enjoyed working with each one of them. Since beginning my training, I have lost 20 lbs. and am feeling so much stronger and healthier. My diet has been a big issue for me and Joe definitely knows how to hold me accountable and yet motivate me at the same time. Joe has had training in the issues older people have to deal with, such as lower back pain, and he has been able to integrate the right exercises to help alleviate the pain that my doctors have been unable to do. I work out 2x each week for 30 minutes with one of the trainers over ZOOM and have access to Joe when there are questions or concerns with my routine or diet. Joe and the rest of the staff take my health very seriously and work hard to help me do the same. Thank you, Joe, Beth, Ryan, Josh, & Amanda for all of your hard work.
