"I initially signed up for personal training with my personal trainer George to make sure my weight lifting technique was correct. Not only did George refine my weight lifting technique to be as safe and effective as possible, he helped me improve my overall exercise program to be well rounded. I am pleased with the results of how I function, look, and feel."

"I started working with George because I have a shoulder injury that requires special attention. Between working with a physical therapist and strengthening my shoulder with George, I have regained my shoulder’s strength and flexibility."

"Ten years after graduating college and spending my weekends on the couch watching sports (instead of participating in them), I finally decided that it was time to get back into the shape I used to be in. A friend of mine referred me to George at The Fitness Connection. We discussed my goals and set a fitness plan which started with general fitness strengthening and conditioning. As a busy professional, I was initially concerned about the time training would require. However, I quickly found that a couple hours a week with George got me the same results as spending three times as many hours at a gym on my own since George knows how to maximize the effectiveness of each exercise. The results have been very positive, and after a few months, we moved to a higher level of muscle building and weight training. I am very pleased with the progress, I look and feel great, and have more energy than I’ve had since college! I have and will gladly recommend The Fitness Connection to anyone looking for a personal trainer."

I have always had a passion for fitness, as an athlete and as a personal trainer. I chose an exercise related field in college because I knew that I wanted to be involved in the fitness industry in one way or another. When I graduated from college, I chose to become a personal trainer because I loved the idea of using my education and experience to help others improve their health. Now, ten years after graduating from college, I still have a passion for fitness as an athlete and as a personal trainer. I keep on top of all the latest scientific information in health and fitness through continued education so that I can provide my clients with the best possible service.
