"If I could describe in one word what it is like to train with One-on-One Fitness and Michael Sokol, it would be RESULTS. I was unhappy with my body and had very little knowledge about weight training and leading a healthy lifestyle. One-on-One Fitness not only motivated me, but also taught me the principles for how to change my body. Unlike many people who want to get in shape by losing weight, I was skinny, had very little muscle and my self-esteem was in the gutter. Changes to my body were evident within the first four weeks. After twelve weeks, my friends, family and co-workers could not believe my transformation. Michael blends his knowledge in nutrition, weight training and motivation to get his clients the results they want. I've been a client for over two years and I am still achieving new levels of health and fitness. Whether you are a first timer or you want to take your workouts to a new level, training with One-on-One Fitness will get you the body you want."

Eric, age 34, Corporate Executive

"Turning 50 motivated me to find a personal trainer to aid me in building a stronger and healthier body. I began training with One-on-One Fitness and couldn't believe how much I enjoyed working out. My energy level increased, I was building muscle, I was feeling great, my self-esteem improved, my body became toned, and I lost fat. I had a new body at age 50! I had a new attitude and was having fun while improving my health and appearance. The absolute best thing I have ever done for "me." Thanks One-on-One Fitness."

Kathie, age 50, 4th Grade Teacher

"I have gone to many gyms and have had several personal trainers, but nothing compares to my experience with One-on-One Fitness. The knowledge, professionalism and a stick-to-it work ethic that they impart have given me the results I was looking for. I couldn't be more satisfied."

Thom, age 55, Trade Show Manager

"My husband and I have been 'workin' it out' with One-on-One Fitness for over 2 years. No one who meets us can believe we're both much closer to 60 than 50! We both feel, and look, better than we did ten years ago. Thanks Michael!"

Connie, age 57, Business Owner Tom, age 58, Artist

"I have been working with One-on-One Fitness for about a year now, 3 times a week for an hour at a time. I manage to make about 80% of my sessions, and that has been good enough for me to lose 35 pounds, and largely eliminate the nagging lower back pain I have experienced for a number of years. The program is much more than just lifting weights ­ in fact, I think the guidance on nutrition, stretching, cardio, etc., is as important as the resistance training. So now I eat better, sleep better, and even play basketball better! I also have a waist size I haven't had in many years."

Paul, age 43, Management Consultant

"Being a person who has worked out on my own since the age of 15, I have always been a little skeptical about the benefits and value of hiring a personal fitness trainer. I always thought I knew the proper way to train as well as what my optimal diet should consist of. By sticking with these beliefs, I thought I would eventually attain my desired fitness goals. Well, these beliefs were shattered when I had the opportunity to train with One-on-One Fitness for the past month. Under One-on-One Fitness' guidance, I modified my diet and training schedule in such a way that I have seen very quick positive results. My endurance is up, my waist is shrinking and the abs are beginning to show. I am probably in the best shape that I have ever been in since my early twenties. I would definitely recommend One-on-One Fitness to anyone who is at a sticking point and is looking to get to that next fitness level."

Mark, age 31, Partner of Internet Software Development Firm

"I highly recommend One-on-One-Fitness. Michael J. Sokol and his trainers will individualize a program to meet your specific needs; emphasize correct exercise form to avoid injury; set appropriate workout pace/intensity considering your fitness level and age; and review current diet and recommend changes to achieve your objectives. The bottom line is if you follow their advice you will see and feel the difference -- it works!"

Robert, age 50, Executive

"After years of working out, I felt my body had reached a plateau. I thought my pecs were not going to get any bigger and my abs no leaner. I was interested in increasing muscle mass and reducing my body fat percentage and in desperate need of information and guidance regarding nutrition and my diet. At One-on-One Fitness I found a trainer that was not only well educated, but also friendly and down to earth. He pushed me past my plateau and greatly improved my diet. I am in the best shape I have ever been in and am extremely happy with the results. I would recommend One-on-One Fitness to anyone."

Doug, age 33, Physician

"I was referred to One-on-One Fitness by some co-workers who had shown some pretty dramatic results. I was very hesitant to call since I didn't think that I had the "body type" to show the same results. I consulted with Michael Sokol who assured me that I could have the body that I wanted if I put the right effort toward my goals. He was right! Four months after starting with One-on-One Fitness, my body has been totally transformed, I feel less tired, I'm more productive at work, and I enjoy the way I feel after the workout."

Eytan, age 26, Equity Trader

"After several years of pursuing fitness goals on my own, I decided to try the training services of One-on-One Fitness. I was feeling frustrated trying to synthesize all of the information or misinformation regarding exercise. In a very short amount of time, One-on-One Fitness was able to teach me nutrition and exercise strategies that not only helped me meet, but actually exceed, my goals!"

Jerry, age 31, Legal Researcher

"I have been training with One-on-One Fitness for the past year and a half. My experience with One-on-One Fitness has been rewarding and fun. My trainer, as well as the entire staff, are extremely fun, helpful, and professional. My workout program that was specifically designed for me by my trainer has been challenging and ever-changing so as not to be boring. I know I would never have the level of commitment to exercise without having a trainer. I have seen great results and will continue to work with One-on-One Fitness in the future."

Rive, age 29, International Tax Consultant

"I highly recommend One-on-One Fitness Personal Training Service. They helped me establish realistic goals and kept me motivated while I worked towards them. They taught me a lot about the right way to eat and to work out. Since I travel a lot, they helped me learn several exercises that I could adapt to my schedule. Just starting to work out can be very intimidating but One-on-One Fitness made me feel very comfortable and worked with me to build confidence very quickly."

Don, age 37, Marketing Director

"I'd been curious about weight training for a while, but didn't have the knowledge or motivation to learn it on my own. A friend of mine told me about the benefits of having a trainer, so I called One-on-One Fitness in February 1999. In the first phone call, I was asked about my specific fitness goals. Everything we've done since then has been focused on these goals. Now it's 2 years later, and my goals have evolved, so we adjust our program periodically to meet new goals and to keep it challenging."
