Three Paths, One Goal

I've been working out with AJ for over two years, typically 2–3 times per week, depending on my schedule. At 57, this is the first time in my life that I’ve been truly consistent, dedicated, and inspired when it comes to fitness—and that’s largely because of AJ. His workouts are always engaging and varied, and he challenges me in a way that’s motivating without being overwhelming. Since training with him, I’ve seen real, measurable results: my body fat has dropped by over 6%, and I’ve gained significant lean muscle mass—no small feat at my age. I also manage a couple of chronic conditions, including a bulging disc and a torn labrum in my shoulder. AJ's deep knowledge of working with injuries has been a game-changer. He has developed exercises that not only accommodate my limitations but have also helped relieve much of the discomfort I used to feel by strengthening the areas contributing to the pain. What sets AJ apart is that he’s not just a great trainer—he’s a great listener. He approaches each session thoughtfully and is genuinely invested in my success. I can’t recommend him highly enough!

Working with AJ has been a total game-changer. When I first started, I was recovering from a back injury and wasn’t sure what my body could handle. Thanks to his expert guidance, I not only recovered safely but also lost 15 pounds and became stronger than I ever imagined. Now, I’m lifting heavier than I thought possible. What truly sets AJ apart is his attention to detail—he’s meticulous about form, always ensuring I move safely and efficiently. He keeps every session fresh and challenging by thoughtfully varying the workouts, and somehow, we accomplish so much in such a short amount of time. I leave every session feeling stronger, more confident, and incredibly motivated. I can’t recommend AJ highly enough—his knowledge, care, and commitment to his clients are unmatched.

I trained with AJ for three years and was very pleased with his friendly approach, personalized plans (which clearly reflected his understanding of my goals), and easy-to-follow guidance on performing exercises and maintaining proper form. In addition, he was always able to find alternative exercises whenever I had an issue with a muscle or pose.

I worked with AJ from Fall 2018 to Summer 2022 on and off whenever my schedule allowed. His training gave me the confidence to walk into the gym alone, do my own workouts, and try new athletic activities like bouldering and hiking, as well as an overall sense of confidence in myself. During the pandemic, we trained virtually, and he was incredibly creative—making use of not only the traditional equipment I had but also everyday items like my couch, door frames, walls, and counters. Even in virtual sessions, he was thorough, asking to see each exercise from different angles to ensure my form was correct and always providing a solution to adjust or modify the movement as needed.

I started as a complete beginner to strength training, and I’ve been working with AJ for almost two years now. His knowledge and experience are truly impressive. His approach is scientific and systematic. He always makes sure my form is correct, which has helped prevent injury while maximizing performance.

Training was really tough for me in the beginning, but AJ made sure the workouts were both adaptable and challenging enough to stimulate progress. He incorporates a wide variety of exercises that target not only the major muscle groups but also the smaller, often overlooked ones. This has helped me build balanced strength and improve my mobility.

I’ve gained not just physical strength but also a lot of knowledge about how to train effectively. I feel stronger in my everyday life and far more confident at the gym. Working with AJ has truly been one of the best investments I’ve made.

I've been training with AJ for the past 2.5 years, and the impact he's had on my health and fitness journey has been nothing short of incredible. When we started, I was 223 pounds and felt stuck. Today, I'm down to 198 pounds, my body fat percentage has dropped by 8%, and more importantly, I’ve never felt stronger, healthier, or more comfortable in my own skin.

What sets AJ apart is his ability to create a program that’s completely tailored to you. He took the time to understand my goals and crafted a plan that helped me not only track my progress, but actually stay consistent and motivated throughout the process.

AJ is more than just a trainer, he's a true coach. He’s committed to teaching proper form and technique, explaining the difference between building strength and building muscle, and even helped me develop better nutritional habits that complimented my training.

If you're looking for someone who’s knowledgeable, will hold you accountable, and is supportive and genuinely invested in your growth, AJ is your guy!
