Testimonials

I cannot say enough good things about Joel, my personal trainer for more than 2 years.  I have followed him wherever he's working, and am delighted that he finally landed in Henniker, my home town.  I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) almost 35 years ago.  I'm still able to walk with a couple of canes or a walker, but am not sure that would be true if Joel hadn't helped me build back my lost muscle strength.  The canes are still necessary for balance, but I certainly don't need them for weakness.  Joel is very careful with my special needs and extremely knowledgeable, He's also kind, compassionate, and lots of fun.  I hate to think where I'd be without him.  Thank you, Joel!!

Joel recruited me as a client when he saw how much my "senior" body had deteriorated following a series of medical procedures and associated recovery periods.  By the end of the first five minutes of my initial training session, Joel had dispelled the awkwardness I had felt about me needing a coach to exercise properly.  Joel knows more about biomechanics than anyone I've ever known, and uses that knowledge to prevent his clients from injuring themselves during exercise, while building and restoring muscle, agility and range of motion.  If you're thinking about starting an exercise program, do yourself a favor, and find a knowledgeable trainer.  And you'd be hard put to find one better than Joel.

Since I've always been uncomfortable in the typical gym setting, I decided to give personal training a try.  In the two years that Joel has worked with me, I've gained confidence and strength, lost weight, and have reduced the amount of pain in I was experiencing.  Joel has been able to motivate me and answer all of my questions.  His patience, knowledge, and encouragement has definitely made it a worthwhile experience.

"I've worked with Joel for the past year and am pleased with my progress.  I am stronger, stand up straighter and am better able to take care of my family.   As a 40-something year old trying to maintain an active lifestyle, I was often sidelined from tennis with minor injuries or wore an ace wrap to play.  Joel has helped me develop a strong core muscle foundation along with an understanding of injury prevention.  Joel is an all around trainer with a wealth of knowledge and a genuine interest in his clients."

Or: In the two years I have been working out with Joel, he has helped my core strength, my balance and my overall fitness.  I work out twice a week and the sessions are focused and individualized to my needs.

 I started working with Joel about 2 months ago.  I have never had a personal trainer before so I had no idea what to expect.  All I can say is I can't imagine anyone being better.  I actually look forward to going to work out.  Joel really knows his stuff and is such a great person on top of that.  He's a great conversationalist so the hour seems to fly by even though he keeps me moving the entire time!  I would highly recommend Joel to anyone looking for a personal trainer.

I consider myself extremely fortunate to be working with Joel as my personal trainer.  I have the highest respect for Joel’s tremendous knowledge of physical fitness and awareness of physical disabilities that might require particular attention.  I consider myself to be Joel’s ‘long-distance client’.  My actual home is in Rhode Island, so I see Joel on monthly basis.  When we’re not together, Joel is HONESTLY a phone call or email away!   Each time we meet, Joel assesses my current level of fitness and my goals.  He regularly works with me to prepare a cardio/strength workout plan that usually pushes me past my comfort level.  I’m always amazed that he clearly knows how much I am capable of doing when I know I wouldn’t ever challenge myself to that extreme!

As a trainer myself, I am aware of the importance of correct body technique while exercising and Joel is right on it.  He stays focused and gives corrective cues while at the same time keeping the workout challenging.  I’m stronger, less tired, and most of all my joints are less painful.

Decades ago I looked forward to gaining my independence.  Now I am working to maintain my independence by developing my core strength, improving my balance, maintaining bone density and loving the challenge of it all.
