I first started my relationship with Lionheart Fitness in high school. I was a mediocre
freshman baseball player looking to improve my athleticism. After various meetings with
Lionheart Fitness, he suggested that I switch to the sport of Track & Field because it
better suited my natural skills. They told me that with their guidance and workout
routines that I could become one of the best athletes in the area.
After one week of working under the Lionheart Fitness program, I found that they knew
their stuff. They were able to recognize my strengths and highlight them, and were also
able to realize my weaknesses and improve upon them. I began seeing physical results
in my body composition and also in my performances. I became more ripped and more
athletic...what more could I ask for?
As it turned out, under the tutelage of Lionheart Fitness, I became an All-State High
Jumper by my senior year. I was never a big kid. I was always the shy, skinny kid. I was
always under the assumption that I could not accomplish great things, but Lionheart
Fitness changed that. They gave me confidence, higher self esteem, a better outward
image, self-respect, and made me physically better. I believe my experiences with
Lionheart Fitness have made me a better person in many ways and encourage
everyone to experience it yourselves.

I first started at Lionheart in January of 2008. At that point, I was 4 months post gastric
bypass surgery. I needed to start working out to build my strength, tighten and tone
my body, and to help me with continued weight loss. After meeting Mike, one of the
co-owners, I knew this was the gym for me. Mike is very personable and a true people
person. He loves what he does and it shows in how he pays attention to his client's
needs. I was a person who had never had any formal exercise before other than the
occasional water aerobics class. Mike evaluated me and took my physical limitations
into consideration and suggested I start in his class with a couple of the other girls.
This was the best decision I could've made. Working out in a class setting is almost as
intimate as working one to one. Hetakes us through very intense routines, always
changing things up, and having as much fun with us as we have with him. In the last 6
months of being at Lionheart I've dropped another 45 pounds and have really toned up
my body. I have learned to enjoy exercise and look forward to my workouts because
they've truly helped me on many levels both physical and emotional. Lionheart Fitness
is the perfect work out center for anyone who enjoys a more intimate setting rather
than big workout centers. Thanks Mike for helping me look better than I ever have
before and I look forward to continuing to work out with you and Lionheart!

I came to Lionheart as an out-of-shape, exercise-hater who hadn't broken a sweat since the birth of
my second child three years ago. My goal was pretty simple - help me make fitness a part of my
life. I did 36 personal training sessions with Matt - twice a week for 90 minutes each. I think the
biggest motivator for me was the fact that I actually made progress. I could run longer, lift heavier
weights, do more 'hip-ups' (and these are really hard!) if I just kept at it. I have more energy, I no
longer feel that guilt that most non-exercisers carry around with them, and I can see my ab
muscles. After my training sessions ended, I wasn't ready to sever ties so I'm doing the early
morning boot camp twice a week. I've never been comfortable working out in big fitness centers, so
encouraging.

The services I received at Lionheart Fitness exceeded my expectations. Mike is a knowledgeable,
caring and determined individual who makes your goals his top priority. I have made substantial
gains in my fitness levels under his guidance. Thanks for the incredible service and I look forward
to working with you guys in the future.

I hired Lionheart Fitness to hone my workout routine. I’ve been working out for about 5 years, and I’
d hit a wall. I couldn’t gain anything, strength, mass, whatever. Lionheart not only wrote a much
better workout routine for me, they constantly checked up on my progress. Since hiring them I’ve
seen great improvements. I’m definitely glad I hired Lionheart! Thanks, guys!

I was a Division I Track and Field athlete specializing in the Decathlon and 4X100 meter relay. I
have been working with Lionheart Fitness for five years now in the summers and during moments of
rehabilitation. I use this time to recover, and keep my body and mind in shape. During these
periods I have found the trainers at Lionheart to be extremely knowledgeable and professional. I
find myself returning each athletic season stronger, faster, and fitter.
One of the most impressive things that I have found when working with Lionheart is that they are
able to adapt their workouts to the person. Every year I have had a new workout regime targeting
my weaker and less-developed areas. These specific workouts along with the circuit training have
increased my endurance, speed,
I have been blessed with my athletic ability, but in today’s athletics it is ever increasingly more
difficult to be the best. I attribute my success as Division I athlete because of my determination
during the season, and the training that I get in the off-season through Lionheart.
