I first met with Joe Ransom and his team in July 2014 when I was approaching the big 60 in the fall. My goal was to hit that birthday feeling better than I did at ten years earlier. I also wanted to get my balance back and walk down the ...

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 feel so fortunate to have connected with Joe and the PFF Team! They are fun to train with and have taught me to truly enjoy working out. I feel myself getting stronger with each session and notice a significant improvement in my overall mood and ability to manage daily stressors. Through strength training, I have improved my balance and posture and have increased my performance in daily activities. I have also lost a significant amount of weight. Joe, Josh, Beth & Ryan have all been my biggest cheerleaders and never let me get discouraged. They have celebrated each one of my achievements and continue to inspire and keep me motivated to improve my health and performance. They have also made themselves available any time I had a question or concern. Prior attempts at working out were inconsistent due to pain and muscle spasms. This has not been my experience working with the PFF team, as they make sure that I am prepared for each exercise and I am able to make consistent gains. I have personal goals that I know I can reach with the continued coaching and guidance of Passion for Fitness. Thank you Joe, Josh, Beth & Ryan!

PFF is a great place to get in shape and feel better. I have been working with Joe and his team and I feel great! The weight is melting off and I have a lot more energy. Doing small group 4 days a week, its challenging, rewarding and fun! One special note - Joe is an ace when it comes to back problems and in one on one training he can help better than most physical therapy!

I found Passion For Fitness right after graduating from Gettysburg College with a degree in Health Sciences. I joined the team as a trainer and have learned a great deal to add to my education. The team at Passion For Fitness do a great job of meeting the individual needs of each client. It is a great community to be a part of, and the health and fitness benefits are unmatched! I am happy to be a part of the team.

Joe and his team helped me to lose 20 pounds in the first two months with a balance of exercise and nutritional advice. Focus is on preventing injuries and correcting issues caused by sitting at a desk too much. I feel great and look forward to each session! Safe and effective way to jumpstart healthy living! Highly recommend!
