Art’s Success Stories
Ann A.
I have been a member of the Center since it opened. After working out for a while, my fitness program became dull, and the results were stalled. I decided to sign up with a Personal Trainer to learn about the various equipment and strengthening exercises. My goals were simple: become more physically stable and stronger. I was lucky to team up with ART! Once we started working out together, Art was patient and explained the workout so I could feel the difference in the various muscles working. In the beginning, we started slow, and within a few months, the results were phenomenal! I became physically stronger, more stable, not to mention a few pounds lighter. After a while, I developed positive habits and gained enough knowledge to safely and effectively start exercising more independently. Working out with Art has helped me stay focused on my physical and mental health.

I started working with Art about four years ago after physical therapy for a neck and shoulder issue. I switched from another trainer as Art’s background helped me adhere to a post-rehab program. I continued to work with Art, with Zoom sessions during the pandemic, as he genuinely cares and is effective at helping his clients with their overall fitness and wellness.
