As a neurotic bride-to-be, I have to admit that I first called Jay mostly because I was worried about how my arms will look in my wedding dress. But since then, he has managed to completely change my outlook on both exercise and diet. After several years of sporadic gym memberships where I would spend 30 minutes on a treadmill three times a week and wonder why I never looked any different as well as lots of money spent on random exercise classes (kickboxing, Pilates, etc.) that were equally frustrating, I finally decided it was time to get specialized help. Like many people, I lacked basic education on how to approach true fitness. And not being an especially active or athletic person, a lot of it did not come naturally. Jay has introduced me to strength training, focused stretching, and healthier eating habits ? all designed to help me get the specific results I want as well as improve my overall health. He has taken the time to understand my individual needs, is very patient with my limitations, and does an excellent job of keeping my program fresh and challenging. I have yet to suffer from the same burn-out/boredom that used to cause me to quit going to the gym. While I can?t truthfully say I love exercising now, Jay is the kind of person for whom you want to do well. He lives and breathes what he teaches, which is inspiring on its own, but he also takes a genuine interest in seeing me succeed. The first time I was able to do several push-ups in a row, I got the feeling he was as excited about it as I was. That kind of dedication keeps me motivated. And after three short months, I am seeing big changes in how my body looks and feels: improved posture, increased muscle definition and greater strength. Needless to say I would highly recommend Jay. Working with him has truly been a life-changing experience which will outlive looking a certain way on my wedding day.
