Philadelphia Sports Club, Lifetime Fitness, Golds, Xsport... I've seen a lot of personal trainers. I have never seen any personal trainers do the stuff Ron makes you do. There's a reason I keep going to Ron - because he helps you achieve your goals and you will see results. He knows what he is doing!! He really cares about his clients even outside of the hour that he sees you a week. He'll follow up and make sure you're held accountable for the other 6 days of the week. I recommend Ron to anyone looking to get/stay fit.

He has a holistic approach in which he understands the importance of weight training with a well balanced diet and really helped me understand how to eat right for my body. His training sessions are never dull. He is is constantly thinking outside the box and coming up with new drills. My body strength improved, I lost fat and toned up. Happy girl :) Since training with Ron I've gone on to become a certified yoga instructor and thank him for his knowledge and advice in training and eating right. Aside from his amazing credentials and experience- he has a great personality. I don't ever recall him not smiling. Oh and if you haven't taken a kickboxing class with him then you are missing out!

I have worked with a handful of different trainers over the past year and have found a "keeper" in the Bounce Fitness team. They are knowledgeable, reliable, encouraging, motivating... and so much more! And, you get fantastic and consistent fitness and WEIGHT LOSS results. Jon is not only professional, incredibly knowledgeable (about exercises, movement, anatomy, fitness, etc) but he also has an incredible energy and spirit that could motivate a dog to do a burpee. His workouts are intense and hardcore, yet he recognizes his client's limits and tailors the workout to their needs and capabilities. In addition, his workouts are filled with a variety of exercises to keep you engaged- the session never feels like its "inchworming" by. Christina has transformed healthy eating and drinking into something habitual and doable. She holds your hand through the stress of dieting and makes sure you're on track with regular emails/texts and monitoring your food journal. Her ability to address her client's nutritional needs and recommend healthy recipes is unparalleled. And, her wellness sessions keep you "in-check" and encouraged. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

I signed up for a package deal in late 2015 which had a combination of personal training sessions…read moreand monthly wellness advising sessions. Wellness Advising - 1 STAR - I had multiple changes in wellness advisors, even on a monthly basis (these sessions are only done once a month) due to turnover at the company. There was a gap between wellness advisors without a re-assignment. Furthermore, lack of transition between wellness advisors regarding my past records, discussions, and calendar availability - Measurements not necessarily aligned with my stated fitness goals resulting in poor progress tracking, in addition to lack of consistency in what wellness advisors measure. I do not have a reliable month-to-month comparison of my results. - Very frustrating experience overall. I cancelled my remaining wellness sessions by converting them into personal training sessions Personal Training - 3/4 STAR - The initial workout program I started was not fully aligned with my stated fitness goals during the consultation. For this reason, my results did not meet expectations based on training 2x per week with Bounce Fitness and 1-2x per week on my own. - The program was adjusted when I voiced my concerns with Bary approximately 2-3 months into the program. I started seeing results 1-2 months after the adjustment. - The trainers themselves are great - Colin and Alireza (Ali). They have strong backgrounds and are committed to helping clients reach their fitness goals. Overall, I feel that I wasted the initial 3 months following a program that was not tailored to my stated fitness goals. Most clients have weight loss targets, whereas my goal was to gain lean muscle mass, and my program was not tailored accordingly from the start. I was already in good physical shape such that I did not need a long ramp-up period to learn exercises and increase my stamina. This combined with the ineffectiveness of the wellness sessions leads me to not be a repeat customer after my few remaining sessions are completed. I have discussed all the above with Bounce Fitness and understand that the issues are being addressed. I hope that future customers are able to have a better experience as a result of the changes implemented to the programs.

Maybe 20 pounds. If I don't lose it is because of my actions, not Garrett's efforts. He's running a 5K with me in October. Overall, he's a skilled trainer and class act. Worth every penny.

I had been interested in working out with a trainer a few times a week, and had an initial session…read morewith Joe to check it out. The training itself was fine, though I did find Joe to be quite awkward to talk to (he just gave curt responses when I tried to make conversation). The "gym," however, was dreary and filthy. As a neighborhood gym, I knew it would be small, but I was not expecting a windowless, fluorescent-lit backroom with a rusting and decrepit kitchenette. The floors were also dirty; when I did planks, etc., I could see accumulated hair and dust. Despite the condition of the facility, I might have worked out more with Joe had he not been so rude. After our initial session, he e-mailed to suggest some weekly times we could meet. Given that regular training would cost me upwards of $10,000 per year, I wanted to check out some other options before committing. When I was honest with Joe and told him this, he responding by effectively telling me to take a hike: " If you have another trainer option, I definitely feel you should explore that...Thank you for your time and wish you all the best." Maybe this place is fine for certain groups--like those on weightlifting teams--but not for regular people who just want to get into shape. For around the same price, you can do training at a real (and sanitary) gym nearby.

Alex is unquestionably one of those rare trainers who understand both the psychological and practical aspects of training. He is quick to tune into the personalities of his clients and push/encourage them accordingly, and he isn't rigid in his training approach -- if you want to skip or modify an exercise, he is happy to adjust the workout. His compliments are genuine, and he never judges you for failing to finish an exercise, resting, or confessing to a bad week of eating. Finally, I enjoy the style of the workouts he provides for me. Lots of creative exercises and new twists, yet all very functional. And because his exercises tend to utilize multiple muscle groups, they provide a full-body workout -- you definitely get your cardio in addition to strength training, which is great for anyone who is crunched for time!
