Joe Moses is an extraordinary professional, devoted to his clients and uniquely skilled at getting the best results for the time invested.
I first encountered Joe at the Mercy Healthplex in Anderson Township, where he was that facility's top trainer as measured by client revenue. After working with him for a few months, I realized why he was in such demand. Joe evaluates a client's stated objectives and the client's attitude and appetite for training, then provides an effective approach that doesn't overwhelm the client's ability to perform. In my case I asked Joe to keep it fresh, providing a variety of exercises to keep our sessions interesting. With his depth of knowledge, providing variety was easy for him. I never knew you could work so hard without actually touching a piece of iron. He introduced me to bands, balls and moves that relied solely on the weight of my own body, mixing these in with more traditional exercises using all of the equipment available at the Healthplex.
Joe eventually opened his own practice, working out of a large, bright suite in an office building in the Cherry Grove area. I was skeptical, doubting that working with such a reduced array of equipment would be as enjoyable or effective. One session relieved me of those concerns. My workouts leave me both exhausted and energized, and I feel no lack of equipment or variety. I bring my ipod, which docks in Joe's sound system, so I work out to my own music. The smaller, quieter space actually allows for more communication and less distraction.
Finally, I would point out that, as an older client (over 60), my body is more prone to injury. Joe's work with me has never produced an injury, but he has often had to work around injuries (usually inflamed tendons and ligaments) and help in facilitating their repair. That kind of skill is invaluable to me at my age.
In summary, anybody with a certificate can load a barbell and play drill instructor. The true professional produces consistent results while sustaining the client's commitment to a program. Based on my experience, Joe Moses is best in class. read more
