I started in December 2011 after trying and failing to do weight lifting on my own at the gym. I have a number of random health issues (bad knees, bad shoulder, diabetes, exercise induced headaches) and they have done a great job of always keeping all that in mind. I have had no injuries or pain the entire time which beats my past experiences working out solo or with a personal trainer. They even understood my physical therapy exercises and helped me get the equipment I needed to do them at the gym before my sessions. It may only be a 20 minute session but it is packed! The trainer sets up the next machine while you are working out so that you go from machine to machine very quickly. I get a whole body workout by the end of my session and feel great instead of beat down. I go 2x a week and have seen huge strength gains in just a few months. Every time I feel like I could not lift anymore weight and every week I'm able to take on another couple pounds. I even beat my husband at arm wrestling the other day! What keeps me coming back is the atmosphere. It's not a crowded, intimidating gym. It's usually just me, a trainer and one other client. I can show up in my baggy gym clothes and not feel out of place. The trainers are fun and non-judgmental. Personally I do better being accountable to someone (a big gym wouldn't notice if I flake out for a month) and yet they are very flexible about scheduling so that it's not difficult to fit into my busy life. read more

My days of competitive ballroom dancing seemed a distant memory. I had just completed my second round of rehab following a TriMalleolar Fracture of my left ankle which had left me muscularly depleted. My dance partner anxiously waiting in the wings for word if I would be able to again partner with him and reach national ranking. I was on a quest. Longing to return to the gym where I once lifted weights twice a week and did cardio to maintain my stamina on the floor, I knew that I needed to rebuild my frame differently... I was looking for something that I had dabbled with once: slow training. But where would I find someone who knew what I needed? It was serendipity that one evening searching the internet, I found a video of a local news segment featuring The Exercise Coach. I couldn't believe my eyes - slow training in action supplemented by computerized biofeedback! Sign me up - today! I met Michael the next week. He was patient as I laid it out my goals for him. I was very clear about what I could do, what I wanted to accomplish and when it came to how we needed to get there, well, that was his speech. He agreed to modify his approach to meet my abilities and worked to ensure that each visit I was appropriately challenged. I warned him I would bulk up quickly, and he was happy to see my progress with every visit. In just 3 months, I had gained 10 pounds of lean muscle and had rebuilt a substantial bulk of my missing quad muscles. With another 3 months, I have successfully exceeded my goals with the help of Kevin and Michael I rebuilding my core strength and adding even more lean muscle to my frame. Everyone is thrilled to see me back on the floor training for competition in 2019! Thank you Kevin and Michael for all that you have done to help me return to the floor. read more

Chad and Troy have changed my life FOREVER. First off, they are professional and caring. They have a great attitude and work ethic. The studio is clean and well-kept. I believe they are invested in my success, which is important to me as a client. After so many years of struggling with my weight and spending literally thousands of dollars on trainers in the last 7 years, this is it. I started out as a groupon customer and was admittedly VERY skeptical...20 minute sessions twice a week to a leaner stronger body? I have never heard of such thing, but I told myself, if it works I will be able to see the difference. The proof is in the pudding my friends, right? I wasn't even done with my groupon sessions and I could see the difference in the mirror. I couldn't believe it. Here we are approx. 3 months later and I'm VERY happy with my results. I am 10 lbs down but I fit back into my clothes from 20 lbs ago. No doubt I have put on muscle, which is great. I have lost inches all over and people are noticing (best part). I am significantly smaller on my bottom half. I am stronger and much more solid. I want to get fit and will continue with this...I'd be crazy to stop with what I have seen. My confidence is BACK! Yes it is pricey considering the economy but its not any pricier than a gym. Can you put a price on your positive self-image and future health? I have been unhappy with my body for years. It is not really any different price-wise from personal trainers. You'd have to do 3 one hour sessions in a week with a trainer at $75 a session (ballpark figure), so at Ex. Coach for twice a week for a month at $199 I think its a steal! That is the package I chose. Less time in the gym, more results, its a Win/Win really. What the last reviewer fails to realize is that in that 20 minutes you are pushing your muscles to the limit, which I know from experience, I never did with any of my trainers. Regular trainers are great, don't get me wrong, but I am not interested in paying for the actual minutes I'm with that person, I'm interested in paying for RESULTS. That is just what you get at the Exercise Coach. They have a few different plans to choose from so there is bound to be something for every budget. You don't even have to do cardio if you don't want to. I have been lax with my cardio heart rate training as of late and I still see my body changing. I am VERY proud of what I have done and that its something I have easily incorporated into my lifestyle. What is even more wonderful for me is that I recently got a massage and the lady literally blurted out, "wow, your core and your back muscles are so tight...you are really solid." I couldn't believe she said that. "Whatever you're doing, its working," she said. That really gave me a boost. So that night I asked my husband to arm wrestle with me for fun to see what he thought about my strength (for a girl). My husband had to really try to take me down, he was shocked that it took him some work to get my hand down. It was such a great moment for me because I know all my hard work with Chad and Troy is paying off. I would encourage anyone and everyone to go in and have a talk with these two fabulous gentleman so you can really understand the concepts behind this 20 minute work out, because its so different from our schools of thoughts. Give it a try, see for yourself, that is the only way you will know if it works for you. Its a small investment in your future health. If you are ready to really work and push yourself, and have tried other things with minimal success, this may change your life as well.
