Tyler's Testimonial of Triumph....

Most kids growing up dream about being the President, Fireman or Police man or some sort of authority figure. It’s normal for us to aspire to be someone “important” as a kid, at least that’s how it was in my generation. I honestly dreamed about being in the Olympics. I was a sprinter/runner before I started weight training. This recent Olympics was an emotional one. What an amazing display of dedication and achievement! I encourage every kid to pursue a physical dream in addition to his or her other aspirations. My diligence to exercise has been my foundation of life. Growing up, we were brought up with work ethic and responsibility. I would go to work with my dad and watch him bust his tail all day and feel proud about it. He showed me the importance of passion. The “value” of hard work was instilled and to this day I live by that.

Over these many years of training people, I have been blessed to of been given the honor of helping some amazing people. Every single one of them is incredible. I literally cannot wait to get to work every day and begin my day of kicking their butts. It’s the greatest job on the planet! Recently one of my teen clients sent me this Testimonial that I’d like to share.

I’m going to write my own story about him but for now here is his:

 I've been in decent shape for my whole life due to a lifelong obsession with soccer, but I had never known how to get to that next level of fitness. I did not know what to do when I went to the gym, so I didn't go. I had never lifted seriously; I was just running a lot and doing the occasional P90X workout here and there. As an aspiring Division 1 athlete, I felt it was time to take it to the next level. I needed someone to show me how to work out with weights, tell me what to eat, tell me how to get to the next level of fitness, and, most importantly, someone to inspire me. Gerry was the man to do all of those things for me. His dedication and charisma are unparalleled, and he is absolutely incredible at what he does. I'd been told that it would be a while before I saw any results by my parents and friends, but after only two weeks of being on the new diet and working out with Gerry twice a week, I was getting much stronger than ever before in my life. Not only did Gerry spend his personal time creating workouts specifically for me, he was giving me workouts to do the other five days of the week I wasn't with him. He made himself readily available at all hours of the day for whatever I needed. If I texted him asking "what should I eat today?" or "what should I do for a workout today?"  he answered me promptly. If you are for someone to push you and help you be your best athletically, look no farther, because Gerry is the best there is. I can wholeheartedly say that working out with Gerry has given me a whole new attitude towards my diet and towards my training, and I cannot recommend him highly enough.
