Testimonials

  "For over 30 years, I worked at a high-stress, desk job and had never exercised consistently until training with Troy. I started training with him at age 51 and now am doing workouts that I never thought possible even at a younger age. Seventeen months later at age 53, I’ve decreased my stress level, weight, cholesterol and body fat index. Meanwhile, my energy level, work productivity, physical strength and self-image have all increased. I truly appreciate everything that Troy has done for me and look forward to training with him in the future. I would recommend him to anyone who is serious about getting in shape and improving their health."

"I signed on for personal training sessions with Troy to maintain my strength and improve balance  now that I’m in middle age. I’ve gotten so much more. Troy customized an evolving workout plan that has addressed those initial issues, but also challenged me to push to accomplish more strength and coordination. Troy explains and demonstrates each exercise so that I understand the muscles we’re developing and the correct form to avoid injury. The results are unmistakable:  I’ve lost weight and gone down two sizes (!) and my health concerns have improved a lot. I feel great. Now, four years in, I’ve stayed with this program longer than any other exercise program. I still don’t “love” working out, but Troy has made doing so enjoyable and purposeful.  Troy has shown me that personal training to build strength is for EVERYONE, and is especially valuable for those of us who want to experience lifelong active health. Thank you Troy!"

"Working with Troy has eliminated the lower back issues that I had for years. Each season he focuses on the strength I need for my recreational pursuits.  In the fall he gets me prepared for ski season and in the spring he works on the upper body strength I need for a summer of kayak touring. It makes pursuing theses sports even more fun because I’m physically well prepared.  The workouts also help me manage my strength and flexibility.  As I approach my late 50s, Troy has been able to help me keep my body and mind young and sharp."

  "I have worked with Troy for over 4 years. He tailors the workouts to be meet the needs of my recreational pursuits of telemark skiing and kayak touring. I marked my 50th year this year and I’m skiing as strong as I ever have. The workouts are strenuous and never boring – even after 4 years. I credit Troy with continuing to motivate me to be strong and healthy and helping me manage the stress of my demanding career."

 "Not only is Troy fully knowledgeable about the body, he can clearly communicate to me the cause and effect of what he teaches me. His workout schemes are creative, motivating, and challenging. He is always prepared with a plan for me. In the three years I have worked with Troy, I have never become bored. With back surgery in my history, Troy has worked with me to regain the strength and agility I feared I would never have again. Along with his no-nonsense approach, he relays his sincere concern for my well being, and encourages me to strive for the best I can be. I feel the benefits of my work with Troy in all phases of my life."

 "I've worked with Troy Johnson for a little over 2 years. Troy's exceptional skills have helped me to regain control of my fitness and health. He has motivated me to set my goals high and has helped me to accomplish fitness goals I never dreamed I would have. Last summer I participated in 2 triathalons and several 5k runs that before working with Troy I never even would have considered. Troy has also been a tremendous resource in helping me understand the value of proper nutrition to help maximize the effectiveness of my workouts as well as my overall health. In the last two years my resting heart rate has dropped 30 bpm, I have lost nearly 50lbs, my cholesterol is lower, my blood pressure is lower, and I feel healthier and stronger than I did 14 years ago when I completed basic training."  

  "Since 1981, I have trained in many types of fitness training and events. Having these varied experiences with fitness training, my body, as well as my mind, can be a bit jaded (and thus unchallenged) when it comes to finding new ways of training. This has proved to not be the case when training with Troy. For many months now I have pressured Troy to push me and make me adapt to any and every new method, exercise, sequence, rigor or pace he can come up with. I have not been disappointed. Each new session of exercises are appropriately challenging allowing me to make the next qualitative steps toward gaining the next level of fitness. Both my body and my mind are equally challenged as I approach each workout, albeit with some fear, eagerly knowing I will be challenged physically and mentally. The awards have been manyfold. Each and every aspect of my life has been enhanced. Stress and anxiety have been reduced while confidence, along with a steadily increasing calm, have taken root in my countenance. I may not be the easiest client to train; but one would never know it when witnessing Troy's competent, along with his spontaneous, methods when responding to my sometimes recalcitrant body and mind. As a man in my fifties and having suffered from some major health issues; I am now eagerly pursuing fitness demanding sports with a greater confidence and way of being that, I can honestly say, I have never known in my life. In a very large part, my recent success are due to Troy's innovative and adaptive training methods."
