Client Testimonials

"This testimonial is extremely easy to write on my personal training experience with Gary. He certainly puts the “personal” in personal training every session we meet. I have worked with Gary for the better of seven years and have made great strides in strength, endurance and overall health. His simple adjustments to a session based on how my body and my mind are feeling are always spot on. Gary has been able to focus on some of my weaknesses, work on them and make them into strengths in my fitness regimen. His training does not end when the session does; constant check-ins, home workouts, nutrition and sleep conversation are frequent in between our meetings. I continue to meet my goals and stay in the best shape of my life, and the main reason I am able to say this is from working with Gary 2-3 times a week."

"I’ve been a consistent personal training client of Gary’s for over 7 years and during this time my life and my personal training needs have continuously evolved. Gary’s strength as a coach lies in his ability to see long-term and short-term goals simultaneously. As a coach he listens to my needs while asking thoughtful questions to help me hone in on what will serve me best as long term goals. At the same time, he shifts our plans from week to week depending on the stresses or obstacles I may encounter. His coaching incorporates nutrition and recovery, and he sees the whole picture (not just what happens in the gym). Overall, Gary and his coaching continues to be a part of my overall balance and well-being."

"I am writing this testimonial to review the job that my personal trainer, Gary Blackledge, has done for me. We have been working out together for almost 9 years now. That speaks volumes to the job I feel Gary does, but I will be more specific. The focus of my training is highly concentrated on the improvement of my golf game. Gary is a TPI Golf Fitness Level 3 and TPI Power certified trainer. He incorporates a high level of knowledge of the mechanics of the swing combined with his vast knowledge of the physical aspects of the swing to formulate a highly efficient, productive, and successful regimen that has paid off for me in incredible ways. He also utilizes a robust knowledge of diet and nutrition, as well as being certified in FST stretching to round out a total, all-encompassing program to maximize my performance. With all of these tools at his disposal, Gary has helped me overcome an arthritic hip that was eventually replaced as well as the many other challenges a middle-aged golfer incurs. I feel more flexible, energetic, and strong as a result of our work. And although I have aged, I feel as athletic and prepared to play well as at any time in my life, which I fully attribute to the work Gary has done with me. I endorse Gary and his work without reservation. He will make you better whatever your goal."

"I’ve been training with Gary for over five years. He was recommended to me by a good friend of mine who is an avid golfer and liked the sessions because they were geared towards helping his golf game. Gary first completed a TPI golf-related physical assessment but also spends time listening to my golf issues to determine the best program for my golf related needs. He develops personalized training sessions every week that have helped me reduce my physical golf-related limitations. My training is geared towards mobility and flexibility constraints, but Gary also mixes in general strength and stability exercises. He is also very good at explaining why certain exercises will improve fitness in specific ways. If you are a golfer, or just interested in individualized personal training that addresses your goals and objectives, I recommend you give Gary a call."
