Joel is an amazing trainer, he's very knowledgeable and always explains what muscle we are working out and what each workout does ( which for me is very important because I workout on my own and I end up doing what Joel teaches me ) he also gives you nutritional advise. He pushes you to your limits and he's very fun, I workout once a week with him and i look forward to what he's got for me that day, he changes up the workouts from different body parts or different style of training sometimes he even let's me pick what I want to focus on that day which is awesome because he knows I want to see results. Since I been training with Joel I see results I feel stronger and I'm excited for my fitness journey and I'm glad I have an amazing trainer guiding me on it. read more

I first started training with Joel in 2013. He is unlike most trainers in that he is not just results-driven, but also process-driven. He wants his clients to work hard in addition to having the proper techniques and form to avoid injury. Once the form is mastered, then the difficulty rises according to comfortability. He was willing to even set out dietary recommendations for me to help me have long-term success. I have lost 30 lbs since I first started training with Joel and have not looked back since. My set goals that once seemed unattainable are in clear view. His drive infuses your drive and you have the tenacity to not quit, but to do it everyday, with no excuses. read more

Joel is GREAT!! I've been training with him on/off for a little over two years now and I can confidently say that his training ethics exceed beyond anyone's expectations. He restored my faith in personal trainers. When training with him, there have definitely been a few times (maybe more than a few...) that I've thought to myself, "WTF did I get myself into?" Lol He's always challenging you and motivating you to always perform your best. He always makes sure that you're performing each exercise with the correct form before advancing on to something a little more challenging. Every workout is intense but every workout is also very different. He makes sure that you're meeting your goals, whether it's to lose or gain weight, tone, strengthen or even if it's just to maintain. So, if you're looking for an awesome P.T. AND serious about your goals look no further! read more

I've been doing the Core Energy program consistently for two months so far and Joel is awesome at switching up my workouts every session as well as sending me healthy meal recipes throughout the week. Typically after Joel has kicked my butt for the hour, I have the option to purchase one of his homemade protein shakes or fresh pressed juices. I have way more energy and confidence since working with Joel at Core Energy; I'm super excited to see what I'll look like in a year! Thanks Joel :) read more

Core Energy has done a great job coaching me through this weight loss journey. I've been working with him for 4 months now and have seen results (35 lbs). The key is being consistent and following the recommendations from Joel. If your looking for a health coach that will challenge you and not give up on your goals I highly recommend Core Energy. Plus you can even get your coffee fix after a workout with the protein shakes. read more

I've been working out at Core Energy for more than a year now, and never felt better. I've struggled for a very long time to reach my fitness and weight goals and felt it was impossible until I started working out with Joel and seeing major results. For me, motivation was the biggest problem, and Joel does a fantastic job of providing continuous motivation and support. Workouts are tailored to each individual client, never boring, and constantly challenging. I am fitter, stronger, have more muscle definition, and have more energy. I've even had a knee injury for a while and Joel works with me to provide workouts that still give me results but don't strain my knees. Never thought of myself as a fitness person before, but now I look forward to working out and feel great ( even though I still complain about having to do it :)) read more

Joel has given me the best results of any trainer I've had. He listens to my goals and works with me to reach them while pushing me to go further with lifting than I ever thought I could. Considering I didn't adjust my diet, I expected to tone but not lost much; however, I've lost ~6lbs in the past two months while increasing my muscle mass and definition but not looking too bulky (one of my concerns) I will definitely continue to work with him for many months to come and I encourage anyone who wants to get serious about their transformation to start with Joel! read more

Awesome trainer! I didn't know anything about working out and I mean nothing! He took the time to show me the correct form, very patient, once he saw I was getting stronger he would start mixing things up, adding more weight,nothing I couldn't handle. He really pays attention to your strengths and areas that need work. You wanna see change? Go to him, I lost 20 pounds and gained muscle and a lot of education around strength training and nutrition. You won't be bored. Always thinking of something new, so expect the unexpected ! read more

Core Energy is a training facility that customizes, meets and challenges the various different goals set by each customer. There are several facets to achieving good health and Core Energy targets each one of them: healthy & clean eating, meal plans & portion control, exercises & home workout regimens, proper form and posture, and equally important: motivation, inspiration and support. I have been a patron of Core Energy for roughly two years and Joel never fails to inspire me. Joel has created a one of a kind company that embodies the acquisition of complete health. When I first started working with Joel I was skeptical about achieving results, because of my lack of experience. Joel quickly taught me that with consistency anything is achievable. For those looking into Core Energy as a training facility, I highly recommend them. The first visit with Core Energy will entail a brief consultation where each customer discusses their goals, target and/or problem areas. Joel is very personable and welcoming and makes each client feel comfortable regardless of their abilities. Joel goes over basic exercises during the first initial visit to get a gauge of physical ability, endurance, strength and form. Based on the goals and observations made, Joel will create an individual work out plan catered to each customer. Each workout session is always different, so expect to have one to two new routines per session. Joel always ensures that each client is using proper form before executing any new workouts and while exercising. Core Energy does an exceptional job of keeping your safety and goals in mind, while challenging you to meet your expectations. Expect to warm up, stretch and perform a variety of calisthenics at the beginning, end and throughout each session. Joel takes his customers and their goals seriously and works hard to ensure that you are happy with the results you're achieving. So be sure to anticipate constant support and guidance at Core Energy. Joel provides proper motivation for each client, whether it be through music, conversation, words of praise, and downright working out right there next to you. You can be certain that Joel will get you in the right mind set to get through your work outs. Once your goals are met, do not expect to stop there. Joel will always encourage you to push forward and set new goals. If you are happy with your new physique, a maintenance regimen will be created to help you sustain your tone and muscle mass. The training never stops; as long as you're willing to apply yourself, Core Energy will be there to ensure you succeed. The dedication and commitment to each client is very apparent and abundant at Core Energy. Joel has poured his heart and soul into creating a well-rounded business that helps each client achieve their full body potential. Joel is very forthcoming and accommodating, he is always willing to work around client's schedules, which is great for those with less than standard work schedules. A few additional perks of training with Core Energy: fresh pressed juices and protein snacks are available for purchase; there's always a sweet, lovable mascot on the premises; the trainer is a great listener, for those who need to vent a little while working out; it's a fun atmosphere, there's plenty of laughter and banter; the training is effective and consistent, and you'll always leave Core Energy feeling accomplished. read more

I have been training with Joel for about three years and I have gotten amazing results with him. Within a year I went from 180lbs to about 145lbs with not just weight loss, but muscle gain as well. I got quicker and visible results with him than I ever did when I was going to the gym. Of course with time and consistency the results were coming in. I have received many positive compliments since working out with him, which has pushed others to train with him as well and they are happy with their results also. Joel cares about his clients and he is determined and willing to do anything for you to reach your goal. With dedication, consistency, a proper diet, and Joel as your trainer; you will get the body you've also wanted in no time. I highly recommend him. read more

If you have lost your motivation to workout...see Joel! If you feel that you hit a plateau ...see Joel! If you want a heart pumping ,gallons of sweat dripping and possible tears ...definitely see Joel !!! I have had a long story with my weight journey with first being over 300 lbs. I started working out and eating better and was able to lose the weight. With that being said it has been a rollercoaster of losing weight and then gaining. I decided that I needed to make a change and started to workout with Joel . Best decision ever. He walks you through each exercise and is with you along the whole process. He switches the workouts and makes you do certain moves that you wouldn't think you be able to do but you can ! He customizes the workouts to meet your goals and that is the great part is that he actually cares about you. You are not just another bag of money for him. While working out with him I was able to learn so much and was at my strongest peak with him. The best part is that when all is done you will feel that you can conquer anything ! He also makes shakes,snakes,fresh pressed juices if you need that recover for after the work. If you have kids no worry bring them along as the work our area is larger enough that your child can be there drawing or being there as your cheerleader. I promise you won't regret having Joel taking you under his wings! read more
