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.

I have been attending Passion for Fitness for over 7 months. I started with personal training then small group training. I've tried getting into shape by myself several times over the years but never stuck with it. Going to training helps keep me accountable and motivated. In small group training I lift weights, and do body weight exercises. My trainer is always reminding me to use good form and pushing me to try harder. They have dumbbells, kettle bells, bikes and TRXs so I can do a variety of exercises. The trainers there, worked with me to adjust exercises to my ability. I've gotten stronger, improve my posture and overall health.

I 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.

The only reason I left is because of an involuntary job relocation! Familiar with Crossfit (I did it for months, so I am)? Joe provides almost the ...

5 stars are not enough...Joe and his staff really know their stuff! I've been training with Joe for over a year now. He has helped me learn to train safely to prevent injury, gain strength, improve mobility, and stay flexible. My main goal is to be able to play with my grandkids (which I now can do!) and stay fit into my later years. I'm confident in the team at Passion for Fitness and would recommend them to anyone!

Great
