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.

August 14, 2022After 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!

August 14, 2016I was looking for help to regain mobility to improve performance in a variety of sports after suffering many injuries. In 2 months, i have already achieved measurable performance gains. The training staff is respectful of the issues associated with injuries. The training is laid out as a journey ensuring the motions are done correctly and then gradually loaded with weights. Joe's knowledge of how the body works and how it compensates for injuries/lack of flexibility is second to none. This has been exactly what i needed and recommend it to any athlete with nagging injuries or flexibility issues that wants to train for performance. In addition, the small group classes are excellent. Joe's "honking" bike is innovative and effective. Its cool to be at a place on the cutting edge of fitness, both technology and methodology.

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.

August 14, 2022I 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.

August 14, 2018Serious 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?”

Why Generic Fitness Programs Fall Short
Many gyms and group fitness programs rely on one-size-fits-all workouts that overlook individual movement patterns, limitations, and training history. The result is frustration, stalled progress, and often discomfort or injury.
At Passion for Fitness, we take a different approach—one built around how your body actually moves and what it needs to progress safely and effectively.
A Smarter, More Personalized Fitness Experience
Every client begins with clarity, not guesswork. We assess movement, mobility, and strength to understand where you are today before designing a plan that supports long-term health, confidence, and performance.
Training here works with your body, not against it. We focus on proper movement, thoughtful progressions, and sustainable results—so you feel better, move better, and continue improving over time.
Built on Experience, Not Fitness Trends
Our training philosophy isn’t built on fads or high-risk intensity. It’s grounded in movement quality, functional strength, and coaching individuals—not crowds.
Whether your goal is strength, weight loss, improved mobility, or simply staying active and capable as you age, our programs are designed to meet you where you are and guide you forward with purpose.
Innovative Tools That Support Smarter Training
We also use specialized tools, including the Cycle360Trainer, to deliver low-impact conditioning that complements strength training without unnecessary stress on the joints.
These tools enhance results—but they never replace coaching, assessment, or intelligent program design.
