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.

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.

Joe's knowledge and understanding of the human body as it pertains to fitness and health is profound. I'm a fitness junky - I love training, reading and learning about all things fitness - and have been doing so for over a decade. I went to see Joe because I have a herniated disc in my lower back that I've dealt with since high school. And because of my injury, I've always had a mental block with certain movements. The deadlift and squat in particular. In 45 minutes, Joe was able to teach me more about the deadlift than I've learned from several other trainers and online forums. Through breaking down each step in the movement, I was able to not only deadlift pain free, but was also able to increase my weight 50 pounds in my next workouts. Technique is king and Joe wrote the book. Joe is the most knowledgeable trainer I've had the pleasure of working with and my only complaint is that he isn't in San Francisco. If I could, I would work weekly with Joe, as I'm confident he would ensure I meet all of my fitness goals. If you have the opportunity, I cannot encourage you enough to schedule time with Joe. Thanks, Joe. I'm already looking forward to the next time I'm home to get another session.
