Personal Trainers in Marblehead, MA

Since I met with Chris the first time I was really impressed by the way he approaches fitness.  I had heard about him from one of my friends who met him at the physical therapist office when he was recovering from his surgery. I originally wanted to just lose a few pounds because I have let myself get comfortable eating these last couple years! The problem was I don't trust most trainers as I have no idea how to gauge their experience or knowledge and have had a few of my associates get injured due to trainers who had no idea what they were doing. Chris had instant credibility with me due to the fact he was working with a PT office out here in Scituate. When we actually got together the first time I didn't know what to expect. Our first day we went through a range of motion assessment. Without me even telling him he started asking about my shoulder injuries! He was able to pinpoint right away that there was an issue and we started doing work on it. At the end of the day we had discussed my desire to lose weight and he agreed that I could work on that. So he set me up on his accountability program which included doing physical activity, stretches, a food journal, and check ins with him regularly on top of the 3 times a week I see him. He focused on the habits that put me into my position instead of making me "run" the weight off. He educated me on proper nutrition and never criticized me when I ate a slice of pizza, half a pie, and 2 scotch on the rocks to wash it down. He had me bring in my food journal once a week and we slowly changed the way I was eating until we found a way that I enjoyed but he approved of! After 2 months of training with him I am down 9 lbs, and I am able to properly do push-ups, shoulder press, and no longer have pain in my shoulder. Lately we have been addressing my posture. I feel more relaxed, confident, and stronger as I go through my daily activities than I did 15 years ago at 58! Truly, from the bottom of my heart, thank you Chris! -Don
