Chelsea at Fitness Power is the best trainer I've ever had! I worked out with her for about 2…read moremonths. She put together so many good workouts to accomplish the goals I shared with her and keep it interesting and engaging. She is really nice, but never let me get away with slacking. Her awesome workouts definitely helped me get the results I was looking for. The super valuable thing about Chelsea is that she can develop a completely new workout plan for the day on the fly. One day I came in for my workout and my foot was swollen from the heat and from not stretching at all after dancing several times per week. I told her what was going on, and she came up with a whole new routine that kept me off my feet and often kept my feet elevated to help ease the swelling. And it was still a good workout! And she began and ended that session with some killer stretching. She pointed out which muscles I need to be sure to stretch to prevent my foot from swelling going forward. It has made a huge difference! I can't afford to do personal training continuously, but whenever I do have the cash for it, I'll be calling Chelsea.

Full disclaimer: I am a friend of Matt Matteucci but if not for that fact, I wouldn't have been…read moreprivy to his awesome style of personal training. I first started training with Matt a few weeks ago. I knew that he had a pretty extensive experience as a personal trainer - both personally and professionally - in fitness and wellness. His background runs the gamut, from CrossFit, Olympic Lifting, sports coaching, kick boxing & martial arts, foundational gymnastics, and much more. I knew he was good and had great breadth of experience but I didn't take the plunge until my employer offered a $250 health credit. While it took being reimbursed to motivate me to finally work out with Matt, I'm so glad that I did!! He's a huge benefit to someone like me who is very particular with the way I like to be trained. One thing that really annoys me is when a personal trainer doesn't do a good job in explaining things - Matt explains things in a way that just clicked immediately. He's also great at delivering the right amount of encouragement and pushing you a little further than you think you can do, without being overbearing. Sometimes when a personal trainer is resembling a drill instructor I get annoyed and at times, discouraged. Matt let me ease into the exercises and once we realized I was able to catch on to the movement and rep and/or weight, he'd ease me into doing just 5 more! Or, let's just see how this weight feels. I ended up surprising myself with how much further I could push myself which motivated me to try harder during the work out. Before we got started with our sessions he sat down with me to talk about my motivation behind the sessions, what kind of exercise has resonated with me in the past (or not), and any past or current injuries to be aware of. From there he really will personalize your session based on the above, but what you can always count on is a solid 10 minutes at the beginning focused on warming up the body and getting prepped for the workout itself. Matt is a big believer in ensuring the body and mind are properly warmed up to prevent injury, which I appreciate. You can also expect Matt to take the time to make sure you're holding your body and doing the exercise with the right form - to prevent injury and to maximize the work out. The session always ends with a cool down and stretches. Our sessions are always held outside, utilizing a variety of things like gymnastic rings to kettle bells and dumb bells. But if you're more into working out within a gym setting with weights and machines, he can create a program centered around that, too. If you've been thinking about hiring a personal trainer for yourself or wanting to do a group session with friends, definitely give Matt a call for a trial session. I've never actually liked working out with trainers - they were just a reason to get me to the gym. Suffice to say I like working out with Matt enough that I'm writing this review so you can find him, too!

Tom Culross, of One-on-One Fitness, is someone you should work with. I discovered Tom because we…read moreare business neighbors at 830 Woodside Rd. I've been an athlete most of my life, so I'm no stranger to fitness, gyms and workouts. I started working with Tom because I wanted increase my upper body strength for the somatic work I do with clients. I was also quite curious about how he could possibly deliver great results in just a 30 minute workout. Aside from being one of the most kind, caring and generous people you will ever meet, his no-nonsense and carefully tailored strength training sessions have made an impact from day 1. Although he will likely make you laugh, don't be fooled--he's watching every move carefully--and the slow deliberate training method he uses increases body awareness and physical confidence. By the way--you don't have to be an athlete to work with Tom. He'll meet you exactly where you are and develop a strategy that works for you.

Almost 3 years ago I was riding my horse past my neighbor's house. "Call out the Search Patrol if I…read moredon't come back in an hour," I said half-jokingly. They looked up from their gardening and looked at me long and hard. The truth: I was really sick, awaiting major surgery in 3 weeks, and had lost 28 lbs. I was weak and should not have been riding a powerful animal! The husband told me about Culross Fitness, and told me to call him for the phone number. He said he, Tom had brought him back to health after 2 severe accidents, and a number of his friends swore by him. I called Tom and he answered my inquiry within an hour or so! He gave me two free sessions. I contacted my Internist to see if it would be okay to set up a program with Tom, and I showed him Tom's brochure and card. My doctor smiled and acknowledged that it would be the best thing I could do for my weak body as I awaited surgery. The rest is history. I have been with Tom through my surgery, recovering a week ahead, and returning to my workouts with few absences for illness. Where I had NO core strength, it has now improved to the point where I can lift a 50 lb sack of chicken feed and carry it from the garage to the chicken coop! Before, my back would not allow me to pick up 25 lbs! And all this happened after 2 workouts at 30 minutes each, 2 times a week! Tom is a gentle, weight wizard with a fabulous sense of humor! I feel out of sorts if I miss a workout with him.

I found Matt and his Fit4Life in the thick of pandemic via Yelp. My daughter was housebound for an…read moreentire year - everything was moved online including school and after school activities. She ended up spending most of the time in her room, especially in her bed. I tried to push her outside to get some fresh air and engage in some physical activities. But it is not an easy thing given it's a teenage that I'm dealing with. Matt truly came to my rescue. I almost dragged my daughter to her first session. But immediately after the session started, I could tell she was transformed and enjoying every second of it. After it ended, she told me that her body felt sore, but in a very good way. She asked when she could have the next one. Nowadays, she is the one who is urging me to schedule a workout session with Matt, whenever she has spare time. What I appreciate most about Matt is that he knows how to tailor to each individual's needs, and keep them feeling challenged and engaged. I know many of Matt's clients are serious school athletes, which is not my daughter's case. I admit when I first approached him, I was a bit worried that he might be a sport jock. But the second we met, all my worries were gone. When you meet him in person, you will realize he is everything that the Yelp reviewers said he was. Another great benefit is that Matt has the knowledge of sport injury prevention and rehabilitation. My daughter is a dancer. She has some chronic injuries as the result. Matt offered her some exercises which turned out to be very beneficial. Soon my daughter will be off to college. She said to me that she would keep exercising in college, because in order to dance, she realized that she needed a strong body. I know I owe this Fit4Life transformation to Matt. He deserves all the credit I could possibly offer. Thank you, Matt!
