Personal Training Success Stories

Brian Mc.

Mr. Rick Sikorski,

I wanted to let you how impressed I am with your franchise in Geneva, Illinois. I am a 35 year old male who at the age of 19 underwent lung surgery due to a still unknown cause. The swelling left me with scar tissue and I currently have 50-60% of normal lung capacity. Over the past 16 years I have had many breathing tests and am constantly monitored by doctors. For me it was hard to start training. Breathing heavy is apart of physical training and for a long time I avoided exercise to avoid be reminded of my lung problems.

After meeting with Brian and with Erick I knew I was in the right place at the right time. I decided it was now or never and took my fears head on. I am currently training 3 days a week with Erick. He is obviously an expert in his field, but more importantly he makes your feel comfortable. He is aware of my lung problems but does not let me off the hook. He gives me time to catch my breath but pushes me hard. I am confident that continued training will yield even more results.

Today after 3 months training with Erick I am now in the best shape ever in my life. Recently I had my best breathing test in years. My doctors were very pleased and could see the results of training. I feel as if I have my physical life back. I no longer fear stairs and other physical activity.

Thank you for a great place to work out and am ready to sign up for my 3rd workout package. Even though I do the lifting it nice to have people like Erick to help. You should be very proud of a franchise like Geneva.

Thanks for making me a believer. At 68 years of age, I now enjoy activities I considered too strenuous ten years ago. Two years ago my lack of flexibility and core strength limited my garden work. This past week I planted several hundred bulbs and finished my day with a nice mile run.

Although I am a woman in my mid 40's, I enjoy approaching life like a 12-year-old-I play something every day, I get lots of fresh air and I have always recognized the important roles muscle strength and aerobic fitness play in the way I feel each day. (Especially as I age!)

A while back, I suffered a serious kayak-induced shoulder injury. I was devastated because the injury curtailed all of my outdoor activities. I was the (un)proud possessor of concave muscle mass for the first time in my life! When I was ready to start working on recovery, I shopped around to find a trainer who knew what he or she was doing and who could help me get back to where I was. I did not want to come back the wrong way and end up with a chronic or recurring situation. With his knowledge, method and ability to understand what motivated me, Erick immediately seemed to be the credible professional I was seeking.

I am now well past recovery and stronger than I was before my accident. Also, my endurance has vastly improved. The training is one of the best decisions I have made-I simply refuse to stop playing-or giving up activities that are really important to me. The way my body feels now, I feel like my ‘engine' is hitting on all cylinders.

I cannot say enough about Erick's integrity and the efficacy of his approach...and I enjoy the pleasant atmosphere he and Brian (and the rest of the staff) create. I hate the typical mass market gym approach, so FT works great for me and the format truly keeps me motivated.
