  • 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!

  • Incredible Support and Real Results I’ve been dealing with ongoing pain and inflammation over the past few months, and finding a place that truly understands what your body is going through can be tough. That’s why I’m so grateful I found Joe’s Passion for Fitness Studio. Joe—and honestly, I now call him Dr. Joe—has been phenomenal. He and his team pay close attention to every ache and movement, customizing workouts and recovery techniques that actually work. Joe doesn’t just train you; he listens, observes, and genuinely cares about helping you feel better and get stronger the right way. Thanks to his support and expertise, I’ve started regaining my strength and confidence. The pain has significantly reduced, and I feel like I’m finally on the path to healing. The entire staff Tim and Julie is welcoming, encouraging, and clearly passionate about what they do. Whether you're recovering from something or just looking to get fit in a smart, sustainable way—this is the place to go.

    I was looking for an alternative to a team sport for my teenage son when I came across Passion for Fitness. After reviewing their program with Joe Ransom, I decided to sign-up too. We started with a fitness assesment and then set goals ...

    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.

  • 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...

    I started working with Joe and his team because after trying to work out both with and without personal trainers for many years and not getting much results, I realized that I needed help from someone who really knew what they where doing. This time, it was even more critical than ever before to get good help, because I was recovering from a major surgery. So I decided to give Joe a try with 2 trial sessions. Due to my disability, I have many limitations in mobility and flexibility, but the real problem was that until I met Joe, noboby had the knowledge or experience to really guide me on how to improve those circumstances. From the very first session, Joe carefully observed my motions, and was able to not only explain in great detail why I had certain limitations, but precisely how I could overcome them. For the past 2 months, I have been seeing Joe and his team for 3-5 sessions/week, and I now feel and move better than I ever thought possible. Not only are Joe and his team very knowledgable, and observant, but they truly care. They even help me get in and out of my car on snowy/icy days.

    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.
