TESTIMONIALS
(NOTE: This page may not format pefectly when viewing from an iPad or similar device)
Through great appreciation, many of my clients have sent thank-you notes and personal testimonials. Here is just a sample from the hundreds that were sent over the past 14 years:
Mark O.starting training back in October of 2007. He started modestly, training with me twice a week. It wasn't long before he was noticing the benefits of personal training and he doubled his weekly appointments to 4 times a week. Through the course of his training, Mark dropped 40 pounds of body fat and lost over 6 inches from his waist line ALL INSIDE OF 3 MONTHS! This was done ON TOP OF increasing his strength ten-fold! And Mark isn't done! He continues to take his physique, performance, and health to new levels and has recently jumped to training with me 5 times a week! Whoa! In fact, Mark has such a great story to share and some really valuable insights, I have asked him to contribute a series of articles to my website. Congratulations on all your success, Mark! You deserve it!
"Through properly training with Jim, I feel positive and believe I can overcome any challenges both in the gym and with my Diabetes. It has created a sense of motivation within me that keeps me focused and on track which in-turn has now become my daily routine of improving upon myself. Remaining in control of my Diabetes while expanding upon my workouts is a great success for me! It gives me confidence that I am in control of my disease...it is not in control of me. Being a client of Cutting Edge Personal Training has helped me to attain my ultimate goal of remaining free of Diabetic complications and allowing me to enjoy time with family and friends."
Linda C. - Newtown, CT"When I started training with you, my waist immediately went down 2 sizes and my core and body strength ended up better than they were when I was in my 20's. After my initial series of sessions, I quickly realized this was just the beginning for me. The more I saw my body change and the better I felt, the more I wanted! Through your guidance and motivation not only have I met and surpassed some physical and mental milestones that had been roadblocks for the last 20 years, but I am now able to raise the bar for my continued growth and development. Quite frankly...It’s saved my life!!"
Joe S. - Rocky Hill, CT"The impact of your guidance, skills and knowledge on the quality of my life has been so enormous and so transforming, I wouldn't dream of not working with you and I shudder to think of what my mobility, flexibility and strength would be like without those sessions. There are a whole host of physical benefits, which are known, measurable and crucial. You feel so much better and energetic so there is an array of longer term attitudinal and psychological benefits (not just the short-term rush you get after exercise). But what is really important and something to think about at my age (70-plus) is what didn't happen. I didn't lose my balance carrying a package. I didn't hurt myself doing something, I didn't get into an accident because I couldn't twist around to look at the traffic. I have avoided injuries and reduced the risks of just living and that is worth a lot. That is hard to quantify but being able to stay in the race and continue to compete is worth it all just by itself. Working with you is one of the best investments I have ever made.
So you are stuck with me -- you are going to have to fire me."
Brian F., Washington, CT"Jim, A very serious illness prompted me to train with you and to learn to live a healthier life-style. Maybe it's just a coincidence that I am still alive long past my prognosis.....maybe not. Saying "thank you" will never be enough."
Jim L., New Milford“Jim, you are a very devoted, enthusiastic, and conscientious trainer. You are always ready with a smile and ready to push me to my maximum capability. And I impressed with your full knowledge of all important aspects of health and fitness (free weights, machines, muscle groups, supplements, nutrition, etc.). After working with you, Jim, exercise has become a daily routine and an essential part of my life.
Tracie C., Brookfield“Most of us have good intentions when it comes to physical fitness, but we do not see them through….whether it is diet or exercise. I have found that the discipline of our training appointments and the program of nutrition, cardiovascular exercise, and resistance training you developed for me has enabled me to achieve goals that I had previously found impossible:
- Weight loss well over 60 pounds
- Elimination of blood pressure and cholesterol medication
- Increased Stamina
- Strength increase on average of over 300%
Besides the obvious physical differences my time with you has brought, I now have a better understanding of the connection between one‘s physical and mental health and wish I had started sooner!
Julie S., Sandy Hook“After having four children, I thought I could never lose the excess body fat I acquired during my pregnancy. Thanks to you, Jim, I am more physically fit than I have ever been.”
Iris B., Brookfield“Training with you has provided me with the ability to lift heavier and work harder than I would if I was working out by myself. It has increased my self confidence knowing that I can do something I never thought I was capable of doing. It has kept me on a good path of constantly working out every week even if I only lift weights for two days and do cardio for two days it is better than being sedentary. You have taught me how important proper form is. Working with you has improved my tennis game in that I feel stronger and able to compete with women who are a level above me. I also like getting information about diet and what I should be eating and when.”
Deb T., Brookfield"Thought about it and you're phenomenal and I hardly use that word for anyone! You're more than a personal trainer with the passion that is involved in what you do and how you guide people (mentally and physically) you're more like a "Life Coach"! I absolutely respect and admire that greatly!!
Thanks for being the best at what you do!!
Jenny B., New Fairfield, CT“Being a College Hockey Referee as well as a Minor League Pro Linesman I must be in top physical form. Recognizing specific fitness objectives, you have regularly designed real time fitness programs designed to meet the high end demands of officiating pro/college ice hockey. However, our training doesn’t end with the hour of personal training. Your constant care and attention to providing vital diet/nutrition direction and information which gives me the ability to make informed decisions is immeasurable. You are an educator and have broken down the barriers in order to understand the “whys and how comes.” This has been essential to the learning process which puts any trainee in the position of “learning for a lifetime.” You lead by example and are an extremely good listener, as well. This quality combined with your leading edge technical expertise puts you in a class by yourself! In addition, the by product of training with you for over 10 years is the self confidence realized from the significant progress achieved over time which carries over into both my personal and professional lives. These accomplishments have proven to be invaluable as is the client relationship/friendship.”
Chuck W., Ridgefield"I trust you're expertise and I love what you put together...I have to say that I'm running stronger and in advanced yoga my core really kicked in like never before...it is sooo much stronger........thx looking forward to my next phase of workouts...Chuck was right you are the best!!!"
Margit W. (Chuck W's Wife!)“I have tried several diets without success. The Cutting Edge Body Evolution encouraged me to live a healthy lifestyle rather than dieting alone. Jim taught me how to target specific muscle groups in order to get the maximum results from each workout. I finally feel I made a good investment in my life.”
I Ate my favorite foods and still lost weight! - Elizabeth S.
“Working with the Cutting Edge Body Evolution has changed my life. I look at foods differently and learned to love exercise. It gave me constant encouragement and carefully evaluated my needs, weaknesses, and limitations. My workouts were designed around my back pain and never put me at risk of injury.”
Strength Increased 35%! - Karl P.
It all started with complaints to my wife on how I felt about myself; fat, sluggish, and not confident. So, for Father’s day, she gave me a gift that has definitely given, Cutting Edge Body Evolution. I started at 28.3% body fat. Within 5 weeks I have lost 14 lbs of my weight, dropped 4% body fat, and gained 3% muscle. Most of all I have found a sense of confidence. I must say thank you to my wife and to the Body Evolution..
Dropped 4% Body Fat, Increased Confidence, Gained 3 lbs of muscle - Anthony D.
The Cuttin Edge Body Evolution did for me what no diet or workout program ever did before. It taught me what I need to know to take charge of my own health. People told me I had to accept my shape, for it was a part of being middle aged. Now I laugh at those people, Thanks Body Evolution!
Lost 14.5 Total Inches! - Leslie N.
I have been working out for 5 ½ years with minimal results. A friend suggested that I hire a personal trainer, I wanted the best, and Jim was recommended. He taught me the proper way to eat and workout. In two months I lost16 lbs, gained strength, and my flexibility improved. I love to golf and I noticed increased distance with all my shots. My work performance and thought process has improved and I feel that the money I spent was the best investment I have ever made in myself.
Mike R.I have been going to the gym for most of my life. I have always thought of myself as being healthy and in good shape. This summer I felt like I was in an “exercise rut” so I decided to try working with a personal trainer. I have been truly amazed with the experience and the overall results. Jim has been a great teacher, motivator, and is very professional.. The differences I have seen in building muscle, losing fat, and an overall feeling of well being have been outstanding. I learned to workout smarter and now spend my time at the gym more efficiently. I am pushed to workout harder than I ever have when I am on my own and am surprised time after time what I am capable of. I recommend to everyone looking for new knowledge, shared expertise, and maximum results to try the Cutting Edge Body Evolution.
Michelle K.I have learned that there is no limit as to what you can do with your body. I trusted my trainer and did everything he told me no matter how hard it was. The workouts were both tough and fun. I lost 35 lbs in five months and feel better than ever. The Cutting Edge Body Evolution Works!
Lost 5 in from waist, Lost 10% body fat, Dropped 35 lbs of fat - Conny C.
“Getting involved in exercise and healthy living has changed my life on many levels. My workouts have become the highlights of my day. Each week I see more and more improvements. I have muscles showing up in my body that I didn’t even know were there. The funny part is that I did not think I would like weight training. After working out with the Cutting Edge Body Evolution, I now love it. It is a constant challenge and I get pushed to my limits. My eating habits are much improved and I am a happier, more confident woman because of it.”
Lost 20 lbs of fat, Looks forward to exercise everyday, Lost 4.5 inches on waist - Isabelle R.
Needing to improve my health, I joined the Cutting Edge Body Evolution. It is now a year later and my life has changed drastically. I am stronger, healthier, and look better than I have in over 25v years. I am off just about every medication and my physician was amazed by the results of my latest physical. Mentally, working with Jim has also been a blessing to me. My confidence and self esteem are at an all time high.
Total Body Change, Strength increased 300%, Increased confidence and self esteem - Harold V.
In the past two months I have lost 12 lbs and over 7 inches of unwanted fat. Training with the Cutting Edge Body Evolution has changed my life. I have tried other programs and have gotten no where. I am now educated, not only in the gym, but with overall nutrition to a healthy lifestyle. The benefits are all positive beginning with a higher level of self esteem and motivation I never thought I would have. I only wish I had done this program earlier. I know it sounds silly, but I am just trying to say how happy I am that I did this program. I never thought I would actually want to workout, but I do. I feel so much better about myself thanks to you!
Donna R.I have become a gym rat! I now have so much energy that I work out and exercise twice a day. After a massive car accident 30 years ago and many surgeries on my knees, wrists, and injuries to my shoulders, I pretty much gave up on exercising. I was afraid to re-injure myself and undo what was repaired by surgery. Boy was I wrong! January 2008 I joined the Cutting Edge Body Evolution. The first ten sessions, I’ll admit, were tough on me physically and mentally, getting past the fear of re-injuring myself. Jim worked within my limitations but wouldn't let me stop. He is very motivating and determined to have you do your best. I lost 30 pounds in three months and I feel like I am 30 years younger!
Rich R."Two years ago I underwent an angiogram to determine the cause of a resting heart rate over 140. Diagnosis….stress and weight. Today with Body Evolution’s guidance, I have lost 30lbs, my strength and endurance have increased dramatically. I am convinced that this is the beginning of a new lifestyle for me and not just some quick weight loss program. I have learned a new way to eat and now look forward to exercise. Last night I ran two miles with a friend for the fun of it!!"
