     Hey Eric,

    I just wanted to drop you a note to let you know how I am doing.  Since we began training two months ago, I have lost 12 pounds, and three inches on my waist.  I feel so much stronger now, and I no longer feel winded walking up the stairs.  Remember when I couldn't even do a push-up????  Thanks for all of your patience and constant support.  You are very motivating and inspiring.  I can't believe I actually look forward to working out :)

    Eric,

    I have been through so much over the last two years.  After switching jobs and being down in the dumps, I gained so much weight and lost so much confidence.  I was really on a downward spiral.  I remember when we first met for our free consult.  You had all of this energy and I thought you were going to kill me.  I could not have been more wrong.  With each workout you gradually made the workout tougher, to the point where now I feel like I am in great shape.  My self esteem is so much better now, and I feel great.  I consider you not only my trainer, but my friend.  By the way, I hate lunges....

    Regarding my Personal Training Experience with Eric Leader:

    Eric and I have been working together for four months now.  We meet for workouts three times a week.  As a stay at home mom, I don't have a lot of flexibility with my schedule and wasn't sure about starting a fitness program.  However, I knew I had to change.  My cholesterol was measured over 200, and I was considered morbidly obese.  I kind of figured I was a lost cause.  I tried working out on my own, but was too bored.  I hate working out!!!  So I figured I'd give Eric a call.  This was the best decision I ever made.  I was really nervous when we first met.  But Eric is very easy to talk to, and makes you feel so relaxed.  We started slow, and before I knew it, I was ACTUALLY losing weight.  It was slow at first, but after four months I have now lost 22 pounds.  I even can see muscles for the first time.  I have more energy to play with my kids and I know I owe that all to you Eric.  Thanks for all your constant monitoring of me, and my nutrition as well.

        Hi Eric,

      I just wanted to thank you for all of the help you have given my daughter.  As a 14 year old, it is very hard to be overweight.  Kids can be very superficial and cruel.  I didn't want my daughter to have to worry about the way she looks and have to come home upset.  The way you helped her, and made her realize that exercise can be fun, shocked me.  Not only did she lose the weight, but she even works out when she does not see you.  She always enjoys your workouts with her, and always comes home with a smile on her face.  In my opinion, that is priceless.  Although, I now have another challenge for you.  Mom, needs to lose some weight....

        Re: Personal Training with Eric,

     It's going great as far as I can see. Daniel really looks forward to working out with Eric. "I've noticed Daniel seems to carry himself a bit "straighter" and doesn't drag his left foot as much. That in itself was worth the money - And Eric's personality fits Dan's demeanor as well - Daniel is also more "self motivated" now to go downstairs and work out even on his own - never did THAT before!!!

SO - so far so good! We MAY need to extend this a while - maybe at two times per week. We'll look at our finances, but in the mean time, we can take what he's learned,  and we can plan on longer term gains on top of the improvements we're already seeing!

        Every Body's Personal Trainer,

    As a business executive, I don't have a lot of time to workout.  My schedule is always in flux, and my free time is extremely scarce unfortunately.  Nonetheless, I knew I needed to somehow find a way to get my workouts in.  My stress levels have always been extremely high, and I knew that with my blood pressure and weight, I was a ticking time bomb.  Your service has been extremely valuable to me.  You have met the demands of my schedule, which is an extremely tough task.  For the first time in my life, I am working out on a consistent basis, and I am noticing the results.  Thank you for getting me back into shape.  I am so much more efficient at work, and my energy levels have really improved.  I look forward to purchasing more sessions and continuing with my progress.

        Every Body's Personal Trainer,

    As an out of shape mother of four, I haven't had the time, or energy level, to stick with an exercise program.  Sometimes I feel as if there is not enough time in the day.  For the longest time, I have wanted to try to get back into shape.  As a birthday gift from my husband, who is also a client, I received one of your personal training packages.  I was apprehensive at first, but boy am I happy that he invested in your services.  It has been two months now, and I have lost 25 pounds!!!  My overall muscular strength has improved dramatically, and for the first time since college, I can see muscle definition.  I can't wait until summer...Thanks for all the help and I wish you all the best.

        Sincerely,

    Every Body's Personal Trainer is the best!!!  I am 15 years old and I made my high school soccer team.  With the help of my personal trainer, I improved my speed and my agility.  I was never very fast, but I am now one of the fastest girls on the team.  Thanks guys!!!

        Every Body's Personal Trainer,

    After tearing my ACL, and giving birth to my two sons, I gained a tremendous amount of weight.  I gained so much weight, I refused to visit my family out in California for the fear that they would make fun of how much weight I had gained.  I knew I did not have the discipline to lose the weight on my own, so I knew that I needed a personal trainer.  I am so happy to now say that I have lost 55 pounds!!!  My knees do not hurt nearly as bad as before, and I feel like I have so much more zest for life than I did before.  I never would have thought I could do it.  Thanks for all of your hard work.

    Thanks for helping Daniel prepare for his high school football team.  I hear him bragging to his friends all the time how much he can bench press.  I can't help but laughing.  Your company provides such a great  service.  Keep up the good work!!!

        Every Body's Personal Trainer,

        As an 82 year old senior, I was hesitant about engaging in weight training.  I knew how important it was for my bone mineral density and osteoporosis, but I had never done it before.  Thanks to you, I now love resistance training and feel so much stronger and more energetic.  I thought you were asking too much having me use 15 pound dumbells, but I can do it!  Thanks for working with someone my age.

        I just wanted to thank you for helping my wife get back into shape.  After having our boys, she gained a lot of weight, and really lost a lot of confidence.  Since working out with Every Body's Personal Trainer, I have noticed a great boost in her self esteem.  Thank you so much for helping my wife Sherry get her confidence back.

        All my best,

        Words do not describe how thankful I am with all that you have done for my son.  Michael's self esteem has been so low because of his weight, that I knew we had to do something.  I was worried that a personal trainer may be too much for Michael, however, I could not have been more wrong.  He has achieved great results, and loves working out with his personal trainer.  He has been having so much fun, he wants me to renew his personal training program as a holiday present. 

        Kind regards,

        Who would have thought you could get such a great workout at home?  The idea of in home personal training is so cool...My girlfriends and I were sick of being overweight and sluggish.  We felt that by working out together, we would stick to a fitness program better.  Having an in home personal trainer work us out was a great idea.  We have so much fun and the results have been somewhat surprising.  I recommend Every Body's Personal Trainer to anyone looking for a fun way to get into shape, even in their very own home!
