• Client Testimonials:

    • I was referred by a top notch trainer to Don about six months ago. Honestly, I was a bit skeptical that his training would be as intense and as comprehensive compared to what I had been accustomed. My initial skepticism was misplaced. What I really like about Don's philosophy is that he recognizes that everyone starts at a different base level, everyone has different goals, and everyone reacts differently to nutrition and training programs. Consequently, he goes that extra mile to tailor a program that fits my lifestyle and goals. After just six months, I'm stronger, leaner, and have a lot more energy. You have to eat correctly and put the time in at your gym, but Don will motivate you along the way.   -James N.

     • I've always worked out on my own at home and ran 2-3 miles a week off and on for the last 20 years or so. About a year ago I started developing a lot of lower back pain from no particular injury or reason. After seeing three back specialists, two physical therapists and two chiropractors, I was continuing to experience a lot of pain and none these professionals had the answer. Well I refused to just accept the fact that I was going to have to "Live With It". I explained my situation to Don and he put together an exercise and diet program, specifically for my needs. Well, since I started working with Don, I have almost no lower back pain, feel great, lost 12 pounds and haven't missed a weekend round of golf in two months.   -Dave S.

     • Training with Don is a highlight of my hectic week. The workouts are difficult and it feels good to work out hard at getting back in the condition I once was. Training helps me get energized for the challenges of balancing family and job priorities. Whether it is running through the airport with my suitcase or carrying my 25 pound son, I need to be strong, and training helps me immensely. In addition, as a middle aged woman, I am well aware of the benefits of resistancetraining improving bone density, not to mention that a more muscular body will burn more calories on those days when I cannot fit in a workout. Don listens and works with you to put together a schedule and program that suits your needs. He doesn't give you a "cookie cutter" workout, but rather asks you your goals and how you want to reach those goals.   -Judi Z.

     • On my last birthday, I decided to take the time to give myself the present of better health a great body. I was introduced to Don and, after only a few months, I can already see and feel a difference. I once thought that a personal trainer was just a guy who counted for you while you worked out. Don has changed my whole attitude about exercise. He takes an interest in my specific goals and needs. I really feel that he has tailored my training program to my personality. We are always doing something new and challenging. I get more out of one session with Don than I did from a week of my former exercise plan. Don’s attitude and enthusiasm about his work is contagious. I’m working harder than I ever thought I could and loving every minute of it.   -Sara F.

     • Don Lee is my hero! My journey with Don just began a few months ago. Most of my life, I have been very overweight and rarely exercised. Due to personal and professional changes, I decided to make a complete lifestyle change. I was really scared! After many discussions with Don, he addressed my concerns and calmed my fears. Don has developed a nutrition plan just for me. I have learned to eat without feeling deprived! Don has taught me the importance of exercise-at times it's hard, but I never knew it could be so much fun! I have lost about 30 pounds and 5 percent body fat. Don has helped me to change my life to a much happier and healthier lifestyle! The journey continues...Thank you, Don!   -Alyce G.L.
