Here's What Our Clients Are Saying about our Phone, One-on-One Coaching and Classes!

"I was first introduced to the Lifestyle Fitness Process when I performed an online search for a personal trainer in my area. Lifestyle Fitness was located over an hour away but from our phone conversation, they sounded so different from any other trainer I had spoken to. I had never experienced a personal training process that involved such lifestyle integration. I have been receiving training from Annmarie for the last 6 months and my perspective on how to integrate movement, exercise, and health into my life has dramatically changed. Whereas before, finding an opportunity to exercise was complicated with my very busy schedule, now it is essential and a key motivating factor in my life. Today, I am excited to exercise and look for ways to integrate activity into my daily life."

Ayelet G. Weiselfish, P.T., I.M.T.,C.

"When I first called Kevin, I needed to get into shape and fix a nagging hip injury that had been stopping me from running and working out altogether.  I needed a personal trainer that would be able to create a program that would stretch and strengthen my body, as well as fit into my busy schedule.  (I’m a mother of three and work in NY).

After a few months, Kevin devised a routine that eliminated my hip pain, gave me great energy and helped me gain some fantastic strength.

One of my initial goals that I though I was never going to accomplish was to complete a triathlon.  With the help of Kevin and Annmarie’s goal setting and motivation, I participated in one in 2006 and completed it happily!  They even did it with me!

Thanks Kevin and Annmarie for all your help!  I’m healthier, happier and feel great!"

Hey Kevin!

I want to tell you that you've changed my life. Over the past couple of weeks I've really noticed how much my body, lifestyle and attitude has changed. I now exercise for at least an hour a day, 6 days a week (I bought a TON of Yoga, Pilates, Cardio and Strength DVD's and love them!!) and I really look forward to exercising. I get up and move as much as possible instead of sitting on my butt in front of the TV. I've also been eating REALLY well. I've added fish to my diet, I'm eating 10+ servings of fruits and veggies a day and I'm making better choices altogether. By doing this, I've cut out the junk food almost entirely and the best part is that I don't even miss it!!! I feel so good, so full of energy, I've been sleeping really well and waking up feeling refreshed (I haven't felt that way in a LONG time!) and that makes me want to keep on going. I'm also started to see my upper abs, which I've never seen in my life, and that also keeps me motivated. Your Lifestyle Fitness and Goal Setting program really helped to put me on the right track and everything that's happened in my life since then has contributed to my success. I just want to thank you for your energy and motivation and to let you know that you've really made a difference in my life - something I'll never forget. :) You're great!!!

"With the help of my trainer, Annmarie, I was able to accomplish my main objective:  looking and feeling great at my 25th high school reunion!  I am now turning to my next goal, participation in a biathlon.  As a fulltime professional and mother of three young children, this book forced me to overcome the excuses and just get going...it really works!!!"

Kathy, Southbury, CT

Kevin has helped me be more conscientious of what kind of foods I take in..and portion sizes, too. I have begun taking different vitamins and have learned how to make yummy breakfast shakes! I was not normally a breakfast person, however I now take the time to make sure that I take part in one of the days most important meals!

The goal setting at first was difficult for me. I had to make this collage and stuff and I felt like I was back in elementary school! HA! I finally did it and did understand why it was important to have your goals made visual and put them out right in front of you...so you don't miss 'em!

Now I feel informed and in shape!!! AWESOME!

I really felt that Kevin is one of the most dedicated individuals I know! I have learned a lot from his attitudes about health and fitness, but also about life in general. The funny thing is that even though I didn't work out with AnnMarie once, I felt that I knew her well after a few chats on the phone and I always felt her energy and support! A great team!

Melissa L., Danbury CT

"I recently went on a grocery store tour with Kevin and Annmarie.  They were extremely knowledgeable about the best foods to eat for me and my lifestyle.  I have kids, own a business and don’t have as much time as I’d like to make decisions on what’s good and what’s not.  The grocery store tour helped me with some quick and easy ideas and healthier choices that I could make right away."

Mason Lord - Sherman, CT

"I met with Kevin recently and he showed me some of the most powerful superfoods and supplements that I never knew existed - and I consider myself fairly well versed. After ordering the foods he suggested and incorporating those foods into my regular diet my energy levels have skyrocketed! Which is a serious edge and benefit with the type of job I'm in. Thanks Kevin, and be sure not to tell my competitors!"

David Ashe Bethel, CT

I do look good don't I! I'm so pleased with myself. I'm eating better and have more energy and I'm sure to keep exercising just for my health even after I've reached my goal which I'm not so sure what that is really, 145 was my goal at first but I'm not thinking weight so much now as I am fitness. But I'm happy knowing I don't need anyone to get me there but me, and of course a good trainer to show me the way to go. Thanks from my heart. See you on the 13th.

Kevin, I just wanted to thank you for such a great program. It really fits my needs and my schedule. It's easy to do and I can do it at home or at the office.

Since we've last met, I'm back on a walking schedule and I've done your exercises. I've gotten back on track with my eating habits and started bringing a salad to work. I've definitely lost more than 2 pounds and am looking forward to losing more! Thanks again!

Pat D. Bridgewater, CT

Kevin and Annmarie,

You guys have not only helped me set fitness goals that I thought at one time to be impossible, but your kind motivation has moved me to start changing my negative thinking into a positive attitude! I now have clearly defined goals that I strive to achieve everyday. Your willingness to share your knowledge and experience have made it a comfortable and easy transition into a new and healthy lifestyle.

Jaime B., Bethel, CT

"Until I went to the first Lifestyle Fitness Class--I was not happy, since I refused to believe after years of getting a Ph.D. in Shape, Self, People, Marie Claire fitness articles, I could possibly learn something new.

Fast forward an hour and a few sweat glands later: I was wrong. There was plenty I didn't know. But that wasn't because I was never told, I just never wanted to believe that I was doing anything wrong. This is how I'm made, I tell myself. I'm from a big family. I'm doing the best that I can.

These were all comfort zones for me, and that's where you guys came in: you challenged those comfort zones without alienating me, or turning me off from the program. Sometimes, we just need to talk ourselves out of our own complacency. It's good to hear other people working out their issues too, because even if it's not about the same thing, we all have those moments in our lives when we don't really know if we should, but know that we have to.

I walked into the class as a nonbeliever, but with each class, I was more and more convinced that if I kept up with the exercisers, managed what went into my body, and reminded myself of where I wanted to be, I would get there. Maybe not tomorrow, maybe not next month, but eventually, I will reach my destination. I know it's entirely up to me, and I have good moments and bad moments. And sometimes I don't want to do all 100 Hindu Squats. But now there is that little Jimny Cricket (okay, so it's Kevin and Ann Marie...) saying, just a little bit, a little bit everyday, makes a big difference. And for once, I believe it.

Thanks so much for the class. I've taken more than you'll know out of it. I look at my collages every night (this time, no tears...) and I'm excited and thrilled that I've had the chance to spend a month focusing on what I want, physically and mentally. I look forward to taking the class in January that Ann Marie offers and hopefully by then, I'll be a little more flexible!"

Kevin and Annmarie,

I followed your simple and fun exercises for the last month.  I added some floor stretches to start.  The whole routine starts off my morning by reaching for some exercises rather than some coffee.  I changed thyroid medication, have been eating very healthy food, stepped up the exercise and lost 8 lbs. in a month.  Thanks for making exercise fun and portable anywhere I go.

Justine M., Oregon

"I had the pleasure of attending one of Kevin's 8-session Lifestyle Fitness courses in September. As a Health Education Teacher, I went into the class expecting to hear a lot of information that I already knew. To my surprise, after attending each class I found that I was always able to take away something new. I found Kevin to be extremely resourceful and informative. The atmosphere of the class was very comfortable and once you get started, it is so easy to let this become part of your everyday life. As Kevin will tell you, he gives you his tools so that you can take them and use them to create the appropriate goals for YOU! Finally, a fitness program that understands everyone's unique abilities and talents and uses your own personal strengths to make you a success. This is a wonderful program and I am happy to have had the opportunity to work with such talented and caring instructors. I truly believe this program can work for you, because it is designed for you and by you, with just the right guidance to get you there!"

-Rebecca G. New Fairfield, CT

Dear Kevin and Annmarie,

I have been doing your program for two weeks now and love it. In the beginning I was all about the exercises and loosing weight but had a hard time staying motivated. After speaking to both of you, you help me realize the importance of goal setting. Now with real goals based on being a healthier and happier mother and wife (not just a skinner one); I am motivated to do the whole program on a daily basis. My kids say I smile more and my husband does not remember the last time I had this much energy and motivation. Thanks for helping me get my priorities in order and I look forward to accomplishing my goals.

Lisa M., Monroe Township, NJ

"I enjoy Kevin's presentations because you can tell he really means and feels what he says. He is very passionate about his program and he has an abundant amount of information to make you aware of what you can achieve if you put your mind to it. Lifestyle Fitness is great a program for anyone, whether you need intense training or your looking to just start out. Kevin customizes his program to fit your needs. I totally recommend Lifestyle Fitness to anyone."

-Trish R. New Fairield, CT

Kevin,

I really enjoyed the program. I thought the writing was inspirational and the whole concept of breaking exercise activities down into the point system kept me on track a lot better than other methods I have used.

I thought the Goal Setting section was very well written, I particularly liked getting very specific about the goals and making sure I had identified the "purpose for achieving" - it gave each goal an emotional component.

Thanks Kevin, it's been great and I am glad to have your system as part of my repertoire. I am making progress on my goals.

Joanne M., Newtown, CT

Kevin,

This (program) was very straightforward and easy to understand/follow. I liked the point system, because using minutes intimidates me, and I would never exercise. But if I think of it in terms of exercises or points, it's a lot easier to digest and to stick with the program.

Deana L. Ridgefield, CT

Kevin and Annmarie offered an extremely informative seminar that went beyond expectations.  I walked away with a terrific 10 minute exercise routine, a bunch of easy to implement practical strategies, and a couple of surprisingly simple techniques for promoting overall health. 

Julie H. Danbury, CT

"I liked the point system, because it gives you something to shoot for each day instead of "winging it". Plus, it gives you a guild on what you should be doing on a daily basis."
