Hi Art,

Just wanted to thank you for offering such an awesome program. I love the group dynamic, and being able to work at your own level. I particularly like the variety of activities and the sense of fun that's built into the program, it keeps it interesting and challenging.

Not to "toot" your horn, but it's nice to have someone who really cares about each of his clients and is truly dedicated to providing the best service there is. You’re professional, energetic, inspiring, and encouraging, and absolutely devoted to your job. I highly recommend this program to anyone wanting to improve their fitness and overall health.  

Thanks,

Dear Art,

I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you. Thank you for developing a program that actually works. I can't even count the number of gyms I have belonged to in the past, not to mention the countless DVD's I've purchased in the endless fight to get in shape. I have sweated through my fair share of spin classes, kickboxing, and step classes, to name a few; spent big bucks on a personal trainer; and I have never been able to achieve the kind of results I have gotten from your boot camp classes. I am continuously challenged every class and because you are always changing up the exercises, it's impossible to get bored. Pair that with your nutritional knowledge and your ability to teach proper eating habits, it's hard to imagine someone not being able to attain their weight loss goals. Your constant motivation and support have gotten me on the right track to achieve my fitness goals and for that I am truly grateful!

I've been strength training for about 14 years.  Up until now, it was always "work" but something I knew I needed to do.  Two kids and much stress later, I found myself struggling to keep the weight off.  I realized that working out on my own wasn't giving me the results it once did.  

Now that I'm part of the Women's Group Training classes at Matrix, working out has never been so fun or productive!  Art combines advanced knowledge in strength training and nutrition.  Many trainers "think" they know a lot, but Art truly does.  And he made it affordable.  Many thanks, I'm committed for life!

I'm not sure if you want me to expand on the fact that I've lost a bit of weight (over 17 pounds in the last 8 weeks).  But there's more to it than that.  I feel so much better than I did just 8 weeks ago.  I feel so strong and definitely more firm than I was before.  I don't cringe when someone hugs me (because I always knew the soft rolls were right there).  I have gotten my eating under control and without all the junk in my diet, I obviously feel better in that department.  No silly cravings.  If I do make a choice that I probably shouldn't have, it ends right there.  I don't start a whirlwind of insane eating and cravings.  I just don't.  

All the things you have said to me about breaking habits in 21 days, and why work so hard exercising and not focus on nutrition have stuck in my mind.  I appreciate your gentle but firm questions about "how are things going?"  I know I have to respond and I always want to be proud of my answers for you.  I still have a ways to go with this, but working with you has been better than any diet program I have tried.  I have tried 5 different, very popular diet programs.  They were all very expensive and didn't work.  I know everyone says the same thing, that's because it's true.  Like you said to me in the beginning, don't diet, just make better choices - always.  And now I do and that's what's working for me.  No diet has ever made me feel this good!!

Thanks,

My daughters started working out with Art this winter.  They were experiencing knee pain and needed to work on strengthening their leg muscles to take the pressure off of their knees.  After assessing their muscle strength, Art explained that strengthening their core muscles would also alleviate their knee pain and recommended a work out plan. 

The girls have been attending a bi-weekly group work-out session and discovered that they love working out!  Art varies each session to make it interesting, challenging and fun for them.  They look forward to their work outs and don't want to miss them - even when friends try to tempt them with other offers!

 Thanks,
