"I am a challenging client. I have atrophied muscles, am stiff, and am tentative about doing any kind of exercise because of (formerly suffering a) stress factor and other injuries. Don proved to be more tenacious than I am reluctant. He takes the time to figure out what I can and cannot do.He cajoles and encourages."

"Don also suggested that I follow a low carbohydrate. low-fat, high-protein diet.....I have sustained a regular weight loss since I began, dropping four sizes so far. More importantly, I feel better than I have felt in years. On my initial evaluation, I could not do a modified pushup. At my six month re-evaluation, I did 25. "

"When I came to Don, I was at my heaviest weight and had little muscle mass. Iam still shocked that he was able to to work me into shape and direct me toward achieving my goals in such a positive, pain free and always fun manner."

"Perhaps the most important facet of Don as a trainer, is that he makes you think you are his ONLY client. This ability to be totally focused each moment is rare. Don is a guide who practices his craft with infinite attention to detail. My main focus has been to lose inches, get healthy and become stronger while not injuring myself. This is a challenge, as I have worn out tendons, arthritis, fibromyalgia and am prone to migraines."

"Don's teaching goes beyond the time spent in the gym. He advises about proper food selection, develops a cardio maintenance, plan and encourages home workouts to compliment training session."
