"Professional, positive, knowledgeable, caring."

"Joe is an AMAZING personal trainer. I am motivated, challenged, and encouraged to surpass my own limitations. I am impressed with the way he keeps up with my progress via an interactive app. He makes you feel like you are his only client. I appreciate how he comments and makes suggestions on my food choices, and if I am not meeting my walking or exercise goals, he will give me gentle reminders to get back on track. His expectations during our workouts are for me to do my best and push past my own mental blocks on what I think I can do. He is cordial, complimentary, and probably the best fitness choice I have ever made for myself."

"Joe is great! I am crazy busy, overweight, clumsy, and not fond of exercise. I started working with Joe a couple times a week about two months ago - and I'm really glad I did. I've worked with other trainers in the past, and I can be picky about trainers. Joe is awesome - very positive and motivating, focuses on good form, keeps the work outs challenging and different. He is also very accommodating when I have an injury - we work around it and do something different rather than me having to cancel (you can't do that in a group class). I'm definitely seeing results!"

"I love Joe! He has a lot of clients but he makes you feel you’re the only one. I’ve been with him for about a year now and I’ve lost almost 60 lbs. If it wasn’t for his support, I think I would be on my way to see my creator. My dr had already warned me before I met Joe. He is my super hero! Thx Joe!"

"Joe is simply an amazing personal trainer and a true gentleman. I’ve been working with Joe for over a year, and he has helped me gain stamina and strength while developing lean muscle. Joe has many professional tips and tricks to overcome back, shoulder and arm injury which I’ve benefited the most. Joe has kept me motived to workout daily via the goal-based program in addition to live personal training. I would highly recommend Joe to anyone looking for a personal trainer."

"I have been working with Joe for over 2 years. In this time I have gained both strength and confidence. My workouts have changed over time as my goals have changed over time, and Joe is there each step, lift and squat. He challenges me to be better than I think I can be."

"Joe with Start. Live. Fit. is knowledgeable, professional, and communicates very well! He created a plan that fit my busy schedule, my goals, and considered my physical and mental health-so important! I feel like my plan was holistic and I’m feeling stronger, more confident, and more empowered to keep on going with my fitness journey. I highly recommend him as your trainer! Thank you Joe!"

"Happiness is... having the workout come to YOU! I am now totally spoiled on the convenience of having Joe come to the office to help us stay on track. He does a great job keeping the corporate "Golden Girls" in line (we really are a handful). The group sessions keep us all accountable to each other and Joe has been super-dependable and always prepared to cajole and encourage us. His workouts are flexible and fun; Joe is a great coach to get us to try new things and push harder than before."

"Working out with Joe has changed my life. I am down nearly 40 pounds in 4 months but, more importantly, I am stronger and more fit person today thanks to Joe’s workouts. I have been motivated by his own stories of weight struggle and the desire to live a healthier lifestyle. Joe has been in my shoes. He understands my struggles with eating and exercise. And he’s crafted a lifestyle change plan for me to help me get over my hurdles and stay on track to meet my fitness goals. He has tailored the workouts to my needs, changing it up to keep it fresh, balancing strength training with cardio exercise to maximize my results.. He has pushed me when I needed pushing and scaled back when he would see me struggle - not to the point where I was giving up but rather reducing the intensity of my workout so that I could finish it and not feel defeated. He’s has motivated me and, despite my resistance and my hate of running, has turned me into a runner - first 1 mile, then 1-1/2, then 2. Today, I am running more than 3 miles on my own several times a week and plan to run in a 5K next month. ME... of all people. I highly recommend Joe as a personal trainer. I am on my second 20-session plan with him and plan to sign up for at least one more to get me through the end of the year and closer to my long-term goal. Beyond that, I plan to start attending his boot camp sessions soon as a way of maintaining my weight once I reach my weight loss goals."

"So happy I met Joe at Startlivefit a few years ago, he’s been the driving force in my fitness journey. Awesome boutique studio with all the right equipment - you can workout either at the studio or at home."

"To be perfectly honest, I had never gone to a Bootcamp before. I frequent Communications Hill and was looking for a change up in my routine. I wasn't sure what to expect but I went anyway. And you know what? I'm hooked! After 6 weeks of Bootcamp I feel stronger than ever and I can see results. The other campers are supportive and we really have a good time while putting in the work. The camp runs about an hour and 15 minutes to an hour and a half with 3 or 4 sets of circuit training and an agility course. Joe also incorporates medicine balls, tires, resistance bands and battling ropes. Over the last 6 weeks every session has had different variations of circuits which is great for my mind and body. I highly recommend this boot camp. do it for yourself, do it for your health, just do it............"
