Fitness Trainer In Straitsville, Connecticut

I wanted to become healthier and lower my blood sugar with diet and exercise . Additionally I wanted to tone my overall body and become stronger and feel better. Marc worked with me to achieve my goals and I never felt better . My blood sugar dropped an entire point and I lost 20 lbs. He is knowledgeable , encouraging, punctual , and professional. The at home trainer is a fabulous concept that saves time and facilitates accountability.

I have had a very positive experience with Marc and the Personal Training Alliance. I have never used a Personal Trainer before and what was nice about this service was that Marc comes out to your home and customizes a program for his clients. I have a long medical background that originated with a spinal cord injury to my neck at the age of 21, and have been dealing with Neurological issues for the past 45 years, and have a great deal of experience with Physical Therapists, but not with Personal Trainers. Marc came out to my home and listened to my latest drama which includes a failed Lumbar Fusion Surgery that left me unable to walk at all, and there was no question in my mind that a lot of therapy and/or training would be in my immediate future. I was not getting the time I felt I needed immediately at a Physical Therapy location in the state that prides itself as being the leader. Marc promised to work with me for 3 days a week, and for an hour each day. He admitted that he did not have a strong Neurological background but thought that many of my issues had to do with strengthening my core and muscles that I still had some control over. And that is where we started, and in the past 4-5 months I have made significant gains in strength which I never thought possible at the age of 67. I was given exercises to do and a routine to practice, and the patient putting in the time and doing the repetitions is a key element in any recovery Marc improvised and created a spot where I could practice squats without needing a spotter. And recently I have been able to stand up with the help of an upright rollator and walk with that rollator through my home. As the saying goes, slow and steady wins the race. The changes and improvements have been slow, but they have been steady. The improvements keep on coming. I am grateful to Marc and the Personal Training Alliance for being patient and working with me to keep coming up with innovative ways of strength training for my unique situation. Mark D.

Where should I begin? Frank has been the absolute best personal trainer I have ever worked with and I have been working with trainers for many years. Not only is he experienced and extremely knowledgeable in the field, but he is truly a great person and a pleasure to work with. He is thorough, reliable, motivating and great at what he does! I am a working mother of two young children and while I was doing my best to stay in shape, in just a few short months of working with Frank I can see a huge difference in my body and strength! I am so thankful to have found Personal Training Alliance and Frank is a true asset!!!

I thank God for every new day and thank Marc for being able to get out of bed every morning! Finding Marc was truly life changing for me. I had been in a car accident which injured my back and neck and surgery was presented to me but I felt it should be the last option. I started physical therapy at the facility my doctor recommended. Eighteen months later I felt I had made very little progress. Yes, I returned to work but I was afraid to move the wrong way in fear I would increase my back pain. I had to stop and think about every move I made and plan how I was even going to get out of bed every morning. I was miserable and definitely not living life. I decided to take matters in my own hands and stopped physical therapy. Fortunately I found Marc and PTA. Hiring Marc has been the best decision I have ever made! Marc’s focused attention to my concerns and strengthening my core has transformed my life in less than six months. I am stronger than I was before the accident, more flexible and have a great deal more stability and stamina to move through my day. My pain is minimal nowadays and I don’t have to overthink every step I take. Marc’s knowledge and experience is tremendous. Always the professional and knows when to push you to your potential, always encouraging you to do your best. If you want your life to change then you need to take action. Invest in yourself. The best choice you can make is to call Marc.
