Testimonials from my clients

Joe Savoia of Ridgefield is making sure today's stars never looked better. In recent years, the former body builder-turned-celebrity trainer has helped notables such as British singer Lulu and actor Laurence Luckinbill stay in tip-top physical shape with tailored workout regimens.

I have issues with my knees and in the past trainers would overwork them depsite my pain -- or just ignore my legs completely. But, Joe has given me exercises to keep my legs toned and fit, and go easy on the knees.

"At the suggestion of my husband, who knew that I wanted to get in better overall shape, I have been consistently working out with Joe for about 1-1/2 years.  My 13 year old son quickly saw how much fun it seemed and asked to join in. Consequently, not only has he become noticeably stronger, as have I, but he trimmed down considerably in weight as he was looking to do.  It has helped both of us with our stamina, strength, as well as energy level, improving our performance in both summer and winter recreational sports. Furthermore, the accountability of knowing that Joe is coming is key, especially on those days when it would be easy to skip a work-out!

“I have been working with Joe since February, 2008. Joe’s focus is on customizing my individual program to help me build strength, lose weight, and burn fat calories. Since the training occurs at my own home, Joe has kept me accountable. During these last 8 months training with Joe, I have lost approximately 20 lbs., feel stronger and there has been a noticeable difference in my physique and well being. Additionally, my endurance has significantly improved through his aerobic and resistance training. Since I am over 50 years old, an additional personal benefit has been the use of a heart rate monitor during the work-outs, which allows us to optimize the pace of the training. I am happy with my results and look forward to continuing to work with Joe in the foreseeable future."

My 13 year old son Jack and I have been working with Joe for the past year and we are extremely pleased with our progress. Joe's personal training regimen has transformed Jack's physique and helped to elevate his self esteem and confidence while I have increased both my strength and flexibility. Joe brings enthusiasm, encouragement and a vast knowledge of training technique into our home twice a week. We look forward to our sessions with Joe and highly recommend his services."

“Joe helped our son (age 15) get into shape for his High School Ski Team tryout.
Joe developed a custom program that helped Terrence concentrate on strengthening the specific muscle groups that he needed to be a competitive ski racer.  Terrence says that the training was challenging but fun! Joe is a professional and kind.  We would recommend him to any student athlete.”

"As I reflect on my first year of personal training with Joe, it has truly been a life changing experience.  My goals were to increase my overall conditioning with a focus on my core, flexibility, muscle tone and aerobic capacity. Not since college have I been this disciplined in my consistent workouts which I directly attribute to Joe's accountability and flexibility to adjust his schedule based on the challenges of my day.  The fact that the workouts are held in my home or gym at the office provides the ultimate in convenience and time management.  Joe's knowledge and energy that he brings to each workout is contagious.  He is the Jack La Lanne of personal trainers."
