A few years back I decided I wanted to get more fit, so I joined a local gym. Being new, I picked Z at random as a trainer for my introductory personal training sessions. I found him to be friendly and seriously interested in helping me improve myself. The program he set up got me started towards improving my physical condition, and I started to get stronger and lost some weight. A few months later, the gym sponsored a contest for most improved fitness. I decided to start regular training sessions with Z to give me an edge in the contest. Under his supervision and with weekly personal training I lost about 13 pounds in six weeks and reduced my body fat about ten percent. I managed to take second place in the contest! Z's knowledge and encouragement were the key to getting me the most physically fit I'd ever been in my life.

Having played professional hockey for the Polish national team and various teams in Germany it was very important to me to be as physically fit as possible. After working out with Z in the summer time I noticed a tremendous change in my strength and endurance on the ice. I could play much harder and longer shifts than before. My scoring went up by about 15 goals per season from the time before I trained with Z. It was amazing to see those drastic changes in such a short period of time. Z helped me to become a more successful hockey player.

I have been a tennis player most of my life, representing University of Illinois in Division I, Big Ten play as the women's team captain. Tennis is a physically and mentally demanding sport, day in and day out. Maintaining my fitness level at its peak has always given me a metal edge over my opponents on the court. In the summertime, during the off season, is when it becomes especially important to prepare for the season ahead. After training with Z to improve my sports conditioning, I noticed a dramatic improvement in my agility and on court quickness. I was also able to stay injury free and overpower my opponents throughout the season.

After visiting my physician, I found out that my health was in serious jeopardy due to me being over weight. It was at that time I knew I had to make a change, so I chose Fit with Z to assist me with the difficult and long journey ahead. Having Z as a personal trainer was great! He was very nice, patient, respectful, and most of all he was tough when I needed him to be. Because of Z expertise, I was able to loose ten pounds, increase my energy level, and flexibility. I am very thankful for the guidance and training that I received from Z.

Z not only fit with program to my age and goals, but went beyond my expectations-finding me a physician, calls, emails and left me with his knowledge so I could continue in his absence.

I try to generalize life situations for an answer I am looking for. Working with you was a pleasure and I will keep in touch for a quick check up. My lifestyle and weight was like a car stuck in the snow. All I needed was a push to get back on the road and go in the right direction. Your program and the time spent with me was the push I needed. The twenty plus pound loss in two months was great. Thank you for your expertise and patience. I am heading in the right direction now.

Before Fit With Z, I struggled to lose weight, get in shape, and dedicate to an exercise program. I tried many diets and attempted to exercise, but I would always give up and get frustrated after not seeing results. Z showed me how to exercise properly for the goals I had set, as well as how to monitor my diet in a way that was designed specifically for my needs. Through Fit With Z I have made changes that are effective and will last a lifetime. Furthermore, Z was fun and encouraging in a way that made me look forward to exercising! Soon my husband was encouraged to try Fit With Z, as well. We are now enjoying working our fitness programs together, which has made a tremendous difference in our lives!

Working with Z is the best thing I have ever done for my health!
The experience and enthusiasm that Z provides cannot be duplicated at any fitness club. He has truly helped me increase my strength, flexibility and endurance levels with a program specifically designed with my personal goals in mind.
Z is incredibly knowledgeable about health and fitness and is a great motivator. Through the years I have always been a yo-yo dieter in some manner shape or form, Z has shown me that diets just don't work. What does work is regular exercise and good nutrition. For the first time in years, I am finally beginning to understand the true benefits of good health and fitness along with weight loss and improved muscle tone.
Z always took the time to make sure I understood the what, why, and how of each exercise. It wasn't a particular exercise for the sake of exercise. He made sure I understood how everything in the body worked together. This has made it easier for me to develop a routine that I can do on my own and with proper form. If you're looking for a trainer to help you get started on the right track, refresh your knowledge and skills, or stay going, I strongly recommend Z. He truly helped me to start making changes that will last a lifetime!

Our company contacted Fit with Z to conduct a health and wellness seminar for our employees, as we were kicking off our corporate wellness program. The presentation motivated and provided a reality check for our workforce, leading way to the start of onsite group exercise classes. These exercise classes were convenient, effective, and fun way to instill concept of lifetime commitment to wellness by our employees. Accompanying nutrition workshops complemented exercise classes for even better results.
