Personal Victory

Testimonials

"Earlier this year, after years of broken promises to myself, I made the decision to get in shape. I had no idea where to start. All I knew was I was getting soft, lazy, and unmotivated. I sought Phil's help. He designed a plan according to my needs.

Week one I was bench pressing 135 pounds. By the end of 4 weeks I was benching 235. He gave me the encouragement and knowledge I needed. After seeking his help I've lost 20 pounds. And find that I have a lot more energy, strength and confidence.

Thank you Phil. And Thank you Personal Victory."

"I came to know Martin nearly 3 years ago at a unprecedented weight of over 350 lbs. I was desperate and he helped to MOTIVATE me to start the long journey back to a healthier condition. With my need for a more regimented environment, he provided one that was fun and effective that grew to feel more like a friendship rather than a service. Martin not only conditions the body but enlightens one's mind and emotions. Without that I would have undoubtedly failed at my goal which is still an ongoing battle. This included a set back where I was diagnosed with cancer and required a major surgery. Martin again rose to the occasion creating a training program to specifically focus on recovering my injuries and side effects of the surgery. To date I remain 70 lbs down from my initial weight, the cancer in check, but more over and most important I continue to hope and see a future."

When I first made the decision to hire a personal trainer, I really had no idea what to expect. Martin has given me the guidance, knowledge, and inspiration to make a healthy change. Martin took time initially to understand what I was looking to achieve, and designed a program around those needs. Since then, I have lost fat, gained muscle, and increased my cardiovascular. I could not have done this without his direction.

Thanks for everything Martin!

The personal training I received from Philip Reid was both fun and effective. I started to see and feel results after only 3 sessions. Phil was able to create an exercise program that was not only perfect for my body but fit perfectly into my schedule. I would highly recommend him. If you want to tone, build muscle or just add exercise to your daily life for a healthier lifestyle, then Phil can help you make it happen.

I wanted a trainer that would be motivating and tough but also keep in mind my goals and my situation. I came to Martin after I had my first baby and together I was able to get back to my pre-baby weight. I continued working out with Martin while I was pregnant with my second and his knowledge and expertise helped me to stay healthy and fit so that after baby number two I am way ahead on the road back to my post-baby body. Martin is very supportive, and his workouts are intense but enjoyable. He fine tunes each workout so that I never get bored. I can't wait to start my training again.

"Martin's personalized training program and coaching got me to the start of Ironman Lake Placid and more importantly across the finish line! His attention to specific training needs is allowing me the opportunity to compete in my third Ironman in Florida this year."

"I would highly recommend Martin as a personal trainer. He got me out of a workout rut and has taught me to get much more out of my training and has made it more relevant to my current lifestyle and recreational priorities. He is energetic and fun to train with."

"When I started training with Martin 2 years ago, I couldn't even do a single push-up. I had no upper body strength. Now, I can do 3 sets of 15 reps. My upper body strength has increased dramatically - I even surprise myself with the exercises I can now do. Also, when I first started training I had absolutely no balance and core strength. That also has greatly improved to the point where I don't even have to hold on when working out on the elliptical machine which is something I always had to hold onto when working out. Martin, challenges you to become who he knows you are even when you don't think that's who you are. I love training with Martin and would recommend him to anyone whether you're a beginner or advanced in your training."
