Passion for Fitness Exton

Fantastic experience: Extremely knowledgeable about how to safely keep your body functioning for movement ! Joe is so much more than a Trainer, he’s that and PT all in one! Have had back and hip issues for years and now finally am getting what I need from Joe’s training or really retraining !

Fantastic experience: I’ve been working out at Passion for Fitness with the personal trainers- Joe, Neil, and Abigail for 6 months and I have lost weight and toned my entire body. This is not the average gym, it is totally different. It is better because not only do you get results, but it adds to your longevity. Definitely check it out. Ask for Joe!

Fantastic experience: I signed up with Joe approximaptly 5 months ago. At the time I was in an a lot of pain with knee issues and barely able to do stairs. To date my pain management is well under control. After 5 months of barely being mobile I can once again work out and do daily walks making it possible to lose 10 pounds getting my weight down to the normal range for my height!

Fantastic experience: Having had a previous experience with beginning strength training, I have an appreciation for Joe’s focus on developing the form necessary before applying weight. It makes so much sense. His emphasis on patterning and safe techniques goes a long way in the long run. I am pleased to have found Passion for Fitness.

Fantastic experience: Incredible Support and Real Results I’ve been dealing with ongoing pain and inflammation over the past few months, and finding a place that truly understands what your body is going through can be tough. That’s why I’m so grateful I found Joe’s Passion for Fitness Studio. Joe—and honestly, I now call him Dr. Joe—has been phenomenal. He and his team pay close attention to every ache and movement, customizing workouts and recovery techniques that actually work. Joe doesn’t just train you; he listens, observes, and genuinely cares about helping you feel better and get stronger the right way. Thanks to his support and expertise, I’ve started regaining my strength and confidence. The pain has significantly reduced, and I feel like I’m finally on the path to healing. The entire staff Tim and Julie is welcoming, encouraging, and clearly passionate about what they do. Whether you're recovering from something or just looking to get fit in a smart, sustainable way—this is the place to go.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training at Passion for Fitness with their personal trainers, and it has truly made a difference in my fitness journey. I feel much stronger and have gained a lot of strength thanks to their guidance. Joe, along with his team—Julie and Tim—are absolutely wonderful. They work with you at your own pace, ensuring a supportive and motivating environment. I can’t thank them enough for the incredible atmosphere they’ve created. I’m so happy to have found Passion for Fitness!

Fantastic experience: Joe and his team are simply great. I started training at Passion 4 Fitness a few months ago. I feel great and look much better. They take the time to explain what they are doing and hold themselves (and you) accountable. 5 stars all the way!!

Fantastic experience: Serious adaptable training. Passion for fitness took me from 230 pound novice to 170 pound athlete. Joe and his team understand the all aspects of health and fitness, but incrementally climb you to your highest potential, in an incremental safe manner. I never write reviews but if you’re looking for the best you’ve found it. The only question you need to ask yourself is “am I committed?”

Fantastic experience: Joe is an absolutely fantastic trainer and coach who can help any individual trying to lose weight, and gain strength. After years of trying and struggling with my teen who had put on a lot of weight and not being enthusiastic about training or being active, he was able to get to her and get her buy-in on eating healthy and staying active. For the first time in her teen years she is excited for the prospect and future of becoming healthy, active, and dare I say authentic and strong Joe and his trainers at both locations care about their clients individually and if you or someone you know are struggling with eating healthy and losing weight / exercising and keeping that motivation and energy going, then Joe and his team are going to be up to the task for anyone any age. Trust the process that Joe sets for you, follow the playbook and you will get there ! Two thumbs up, way up!

Fantastic experience: I am training for over all balance and strength. My bone density has improved as a result of Joe's program.

Fantastic experience: I have recently started with Joe Ransom at Passion For Fitness. I see him in his Phoenixville and Exton office. I have been extremely satisfied with the fitness program. Joe is very knowledgeable from an anatomic and physiological standpoint to individualize my program of exercise and strength training to improve my physical status. I highly recommend Passion For Fitness for anyone who is looking to improve their physical condition. Joe’s individual, personal approach is safe and specialized and has worked very well for me in my quest for physical improvement.

Fantastic experience: I am in my 60’s, and realized that I needed help getting back in shape. The combination of my age, lack of exercise and my numerous health issues caused me to lose muscle mass. I searched online for a personal trainer, and I was fortunate to find Joe Ransom with “Passion for Fitness”. I see Joe for fitness training sessions in his main studio located in the charming community of Eagleview Town Center in Exton, as well as his convenient studio located in the heart of Phoenixville. Joe has been wonderful, and his guidance and expertise is exactly what I needed. He works with clients of all ages and levels of fitness, and he is able to adjust my training and exercises to zero in on what works best for me. His energy and positive motivation instantly put me at ease. I was impressed with his skill and expertise - not only with what exercises I need to get back in shape, but also how to overcome the challenges I face getting to that point. I continue to look forward to my sessions. Joe is very knowledgeable, and I like the personal attention I receive from him rather than at a large, crowded and noisy gym. I am amazed at how much better I feel, and I only wish that I had reached out to Joe and his staff sooner.

Fantastic experience: I couldn't recommend Passion for Fitness enough! Prior to working with Joe and his team, I was having reccuring and painful back issues (my back went out 4 times in 6 months). I have been working with the Passion for Fitness team for 6 months now and have not had a single back incident. It feels really good to have my life back and to be active again.

Fantastic experience: If you have neck, hip or back pain Joe is your guy! Worth every penny!

Fantastic experience: 5 stars are not enough...Joe and his staff really know their stuff! I've been training with Joe for over a year now. He has helped me learn to train safely to prevent injury, gain strength, improve mobility, and stay flexible. My main goal is to be able to play with my grandkids (which I now can do!) and stay fit into my later years. I'm confident in the team at Passion for Fitness and would recommend them to anyone!

Fantastic experience: My life and body have changed because of Passion For Fitness. I have never had a consistent workout regimen. I started running and had gotten hurt and could not find any motivation to exercise. I met with Joe Ransom and knew that I found a home. I look forward to every workout because they are all different. My days of physical therapy are over. Joe and his team have helped me to stretch and strenghten my problem areas as well as push me when necessary. I could not imagine working out anywhere else. The environment is private and I love the relationships I have built with all of the trainers.

Fantastic experience: Joe is a thorough professional, very knowledgeable about the science of physical fitness, and absolutely the best trainer. He knows how to push you, and how to encourage you. I am glad that I found him, and I have benefitted greatly from his training. I would strongly recommend him to anyone who wants to make sure that they are doing the right type of exercise the correct way to achieve the results they are looking for.

Fantastic experience: If you're looking for a team of personal trainers who are experts at teaching people how to utilize functional movements to build strength and prevent injury, Passion for Fitness is the place to go. They understand that the human body functions as one unit rather than separate muscle groups, and will help you work out safely and effectively. Knowledgable, friendly, and invigorating; I hope to be back to working out with Joe, Josh, and the rest of the team at PFF soon.

Fantastic experience: Joe is incredibly knowledgable about the body and spends a lot of time researching and understanding my unique points of injury and dysfunction. He is methodical, specific, and precise. He knows how to build strength while correcting dysfunction and avoiding further injury. It is clear he really cares about the wellbeing of his clients. He is genuine and extremely passionate about what he does. It feels great to be in good hands and also to be supporting an upstanding small business owner.

Fantastic experience: First time training with Neil. The consistency of excellence among all the staff sets Passion for Fitness apart. Each trainer is really talented and knowledgeable. All the time!

Fantastic experience: After a two year hiatus, I am back to personal training and I am thrilled that I found Passion for Fitness! What makes Joe and his team stand out from my other personal training experiences is the focus on proper form and body alignment first before adding any weight. I thought the pain I experienced in my lower back was a normal part of lifting heavy weights. In working with Joe and team, I realized I’m using my back incorrectly and my form needs to improve. Because of this “form first” approach, I’m happy to say that I don’t feel back pain after a workout!

Fantastic experience: Joe is the BEST. He cares about his clients on a personal level which separates him from the rest. I have been to many trainers over the years, but no one with the exceptional attention to detail that Joe has. Truly a game changer.

Fantastic experience: My 91 year old mother was having issues continuing her daily walking routine as her back was hurting her and severely limiting her mobility. In June of 2021 she started noticing she wasn't able to walk her normal 2 to 3 miles. By August she was only able to walk around the block and was in a lot of pain while walking and sitting. We reached out to Joe to see if there was something he could do to help her reduce her pain and get her back to walking 2 to 3 miles. After the consult Joe immediately identified the issue and said he would be able to help her. She started with 2 day a week sessions on September 28th and now after 2 months she is now able to walk her 2 miles without any issues. Joe also has her working out with 15 lb kettlebells. Her mobility improvement is nothing short of amazing. She looks forward to getting up each day to do her exercises and daily walks. Thank you Joe for doing an outstanding job giving my mother her mobility back!

Fantastic experience: Deciding that I needed to work with a personal trainer was one of the most important decisions I have made in last few years. Because of medical issues, I gained almost 100 lbs and at 69 years old, it seemed impossible for me to lose it even though I tried many programs and plans in the last 10 years. When I did a on-line search in February 2021, Bark opened up and I was able to check out several trainers, one of which was Passion for Fitness. Within a few minutes of putting in my information, I was contacted by Joe Ransom. It was only then I realized that he was on the East Coast and I was on the West coast, but because PFF was doing virtual training, it might work. Talking with Joe was so motivating and he laid out such a cohesive plan for me, that I knew it was a good fit. Since that time I have worked with several members of the PFF team and I have been amazed at the consistency they show. I have enjoyed working with each one of them. Since beginning my training, I have lost 20 lbs. and am feeling so much stronger and healthier. My diet has been a big issue for me and Joe definitely knows how to hold me accountable and yet motivate me at the same time. Joe has had training in the issues older people have to deal with, such as lower back pain, and he has been able to integrate the right exercises to help alleviate the pain that my doctors have been unable to do. I work out 2x each week for 30 minutes with one of the trainers over ZOOM and have access to Joe when there are questions or concerns with my routine or diet. Joe and the rest of the staff take my health very seriously and work hard to help me do the same. Thank you, Joe, Beth, Ryan, Josh, & Amanda for all of your hard work.

Fantastic experience: I feel so fortunate to have connected with Joe and the PFF Team! They are fun to train with and have taught me to truly enjoy working out. I feel myself getting stronger with each session and notice a significant improvement in my overall mood and ability to manage daily stressors. Through strength training, I have improved my balance and posture and have increased my performance in daily activities. I have also lost a significant amount of weight. Joe, Josh, Beth & Ryan have all been my biggest cheerleaders and never let me get discouraged. They have celebrated each one of my achievements and continue to inspire and keep me motivated to improve my health and performance. They have also made themselves available any time I had a question or concern. Prior attempts at working out were inconsistent due to pain and muscle spasms. This has not been my experience working with the PFF team, as they make sure that I am prepared for each exercise and I am able to make consistent gains. I have personal goals that I know I can reach with the continued coaching and guidance of Passion for Fitness. Thank you Joe, Josh, Beth & Ryan!

Fantastic experience: I love it at Passion for Fitness. The staff is topnotch and professional. Joe Ransom instills an atmosphere of "do no harm"...protecting our health and respecting the fact that we have lives to live outside the studio...while challenging us physically and mentally. Definitely recommend it.

Fantastic experience: Joe and his team helped me to lose 20 pounds in the first two months with a balance of exercise and nutritional advice. Focus is on preventing injuries and correcting issues caused by sitting at a desk too much. I feel great and look forward to each session! Safe and effective way to jumpstart healthy living! Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Been going to PFF for about five months and it’s been amazing. Joe and crew are the best!

Fantastic experience: Joe's knowledge and understanding of the human body as it pertains to fitness and health is profound. I'm a fitness junky - I love training, reading and learning about all things fitness - and have been doing so for over a decade. I went to see Joe because I have a herniated disc in my lower back that I've dealt with since high school. And because of my injury, I've always had a mental block with certain movements. The deadlift and squat in particular. In 45 minutes, Joe was able to teach me more about the deadlift than I've learned from several other trainers and online forums. Through breaking down each step in the movement, I was able to not only deadlift pain free, but was also able to increase my weight 50 pounds in my next workouts. Technique is king and Joe wrote the book. Joe is the most knowledgeable trainer I've had the pleasure of working with and my only complaint is that he isn't in San Francisco. If I could, I would work weekly with Joe, as I'm confident he would ensure I meet all of my fitness goals. If you have the opportunity, I cannot encourage you enough to schedule time with Joe. Thanks, Joe. I'm already looking forward to the next time I'm home to get another session.

Fantastic experience: My wife and I have been athletically active our entire lives. We exercise regularly and have worked with a variety of personal trainers. Over the past several years aches and pains were starting to restrict the range and intensity of our workouts. We have been working with Joe for about a month and amazed with our initial results. For the first time in a long time we are experiencing fitness without pain and how to exercise correctly. Joe is a master at identifying and correcting issues affecting our performance. He and his team truly deliver "personal" / customized training. We are thrilled to have found Passion For Fitness!

Fantastic experience: Joe and his team are amazing at making people feel welcome and creating a plan targeted plan to meet your goals. They truly care about their clients and encourage them! I have become so much stronger and confident since starting at PFF! I am so lucky to have found the PFF team!

Fantastic experience: Joe & everyone at Passion For Fitness are excellent! They provide a safe, supportive, and very encouraging atmosphere with a focus on working out without injury. I recommend them highly! It's been a great experience.

Fantastic experience: As my time in the 30’s comes to an end and 40 is right around the corner, I recognized the critical need to pay closer attention to my health now more than ever. With a history of heart disease in my family and cholesterol levels slightly above where they should be despite being in average shape, it was time to make a concentrated investment in my health. Sitting out one evening in Eagleview Town Center, a friend mentioned Passion for Fitness and the incredible results he had achieved by working with the experienced and knowledgeable trainers at PFF. I delayed the decision for a few months, but recently took that step forward to a healthier lifestyle. Understanding that the physical component is only one aspect of a well- balanced lifestyle, I began adjusting my nutrition and consulted with a cardiologist solely based upon my family history. In my first 7 weeks, I dropped just under 8 pounds. Participation with both personal training sessions coupled with the available classes, has made me realize this journey is taking me down a much better path. Our health often times is pushed to the back burner with a lack of time being the primary reason. My time at PFF is now part of my routine because I have made it a priority. I have already seen and believe I will continue to see the results I expect.

Fantastic experience: I've been lucky enough to have been coming to PFF for over 2 years now. The trainers here have been nothing but excellent. I have a form of Cerebral Palsy called Spastic Diplegia and originally just wanted a way to get more activity in my week but they took the time to know me and my disability. Now i'm walking better, standing taller, and feel better about myself then ever before. I'm so glad I decided to reach out to Joe and his team! I would highly recommend them to anyone! Edit: It's been 4 years now and still going strong. The trainers are fun and genuinely care about getting you where you want to be. Because of my CP I'm focusing on keeping my flexibility and mobility in check and thanks to the trainers here they've kept me engaged and keep coming back every week!

Fantastic experience: Why did I join Passion for Fitness? A couple reasons, first off, the owner Joe is a neighbor of mine in Eagleview and we were talking about what gym I belong too and at the time I had stopped my membership at another gym due to the intensity of the bootcamp and overall program for someone over 50 with knee and low back issues. Joe talked to me for 30 minutes about the back, how it works and how we prone to injury the back is if we don't learn to workout correctly. I joined and saw and felt immediate benefits. Then it happened, I was traveling for work, 8 weeks on the road, three to four days a week at least, not good for the back. I ended up in the ER 2x within a month for 10/10 pain in my low back. I herniated one or two Lumbar discs. Ouch! Joe had me come in two times a week to learn how to help heal the herniation and begin to "load" correctly, understand what was happening to my lower back. With knowledge came power and improvement. This is the first time I could see and feel my back healing. After two weeks, multiple sessions and doing my homework/exercises at home, i can now see myself having a healthy back and getting back to the activities I enjoy in life. I live in Eagleview, if you do, get to Passion For Fitness, its not a "pop-up" fad gym, its not a "cross fit" model that only promotes over use of muscles and can cause injury, but a method of healing and gaining strength, core, and confidence! The staff is engaging, passionate and extremely well knowledgeable on all aspects of being healthy from workouts to nutrition, they have you covered! Phew....I have a new, old back and thrilled! Chris Colburn

Fantastic experience: I was looking for an alternative to a team sport for my teenage son when I came across Passion for Fitness. After reviewing their program with Joe Ransom, I decided to sign-up too. We started with a fitness assesment and then set goals based on the results. We both wanted to lose weight, gain strenght and become more heart healthy. Joe and his team put together a program that was geared torward our goals. My son and I changed are eating habits by decreasing our calories (based on Joe's recommendation) and made healthier food choices. Joe and his trainers were excellent at pushing us to our limits, working all muscle groups with multiple exercises, keeping our hearts pumping, all while stressing proper form and technic. After 24 sessions in 8 weeks my son lost 10% of his weight and I lost 8.5%. We both feel much stronger and better about our health and fitness. My oldest son just returned from college for the summer and I signed him up too. I don't think you can put a price on your health and teaching you children the importance of their health. I highly recommend Passion for Fitness and thank Joe and his team for the great job they do each day!

Fantastic experience: I was looking for help to regain mobility to improve performance in a variety of sports after suffering many injuries. In 2 months, i have already achieved measurable performance gains. The training staff is respectful of the issues associated with injuries. The training is laid out as a journey ensuring the motions are done correctly and then gradually loaded with weights. Joe's knowledge of how the body works and how it compensates for injuries/lack of flexibility is second to none. This has been exactly what i needed and recommend it to any athlete with nagging injuries or flexibility issues that wants to train for performance. In addition, the small group classes are excellent. Joe's "honking" bike is innovative and effective. Its cool to be at a place on the cutting edge of fitness, both technology and methodology.

Fantastic experience: PFF is a great place to get in shape and feel better. I have been working with Joe and his team and I feel great! The weight is melting off and I have a lot more energy. Doing small group 4 days a week, its challenging, rewarding and fun! One special note - Joe is an ace when it comes to back problems and in one on one training he can help better than most physical therapy!

Fantastic experience: I have been attending Passion for Fitness for over 7 months. I started with personal training then small group training. I've tried getting into shape by myself several times over the years but never stuck with it. Going to training helps keep me accountable and motivated. In small group training I lift weights, and do body weight exercises. My trainer is always reminding me to use good form and pushing me to try harder. They have dumbbells, kettle bells, bikes and TRXs so I can do a variety of exercises. The trainers there, worked with me to adjust exercises to my ability. I've gotten stronger, improve my posture and overall health.

Fantastic experience: Great experience. Very personal attention to ensure your form is correct, which is especially important as we get older !!! Great staff, knowledgeable, friendly and professional.

Fantastic experience: We have been coming to Passion for Fitness for 19 weeks now. What an incredible place providing top knotch training in a safe and non intimidating environment. The results we have seen have been beyond our expectations. The goals set are now within sight. The trainers are experts in their field. Joe Ransom is not only our trainer, providing accountablity and expertise, but now a friend. This may sound corny..., but our lives have been changed by Passion for Fitness. Jeff and Dayna Leiss

Fantastic experience: I started working with Joe and his team because after trying to work out both with and without personal trainers for many years and not getting much results, I realized that I needed help from someone who really knew what they where doing. This time, it was even more critical than ever before to get good help, because I was recovering from a major surgery. So I decided to give Joe a try with 2 trial sessions. Due to my disability, I have many limitations in mobility and flexibility, but the real problem was that until I met Joe, noboby had the knowledge or experience to really guide me on how to improve those circumstances. From the very first session, Joe carefully observed my motions, and was able to not only explain in great detail why I had certain limitations, but precisely how I could overcome them. For the past 2 months, I have been seeing Joe and his team for 3-5 sessions/week, and I now feel and move better than I ever thought possible. Not only are Joe and his team very knowledgable, and observant, but they truly care. They even help me get in and out of my car on snowy/icy days.

Fantastic experience: I joined Passion for Fitness 4 months ago and I am happy and satisfied with my decision. Having been quite inactive for a while, Joe and his staff helped draft a suitable fitness plan to get me going step-by-step, getting stronger, and motivating me to work out everyday, especially the days I don't go there. The boutique is unique in that the focus is on motivating you to do your best based on your current health, rather than crossing off your list of things to do...

Fantastic experience: I stumbled onto this place looking for sponsorship for a bike team, signed up for a free honking class and fell in love. I thought I was pretty fit but soon found out I needed more fitness in the form of strength training. My areas were quickly targeted and I am on my way to a better me. The team is responsive and passionate about fitness. At age 49 and feeling good about myself!

Fantastic experience: Passion for Fitness is not your average chain fitness studio. They specialize in personal training and small classes. So far I can only review the personal training part of it. It starts slow with assessments according to FMS (Function Movement System). This helps avoid injuries and picking the right exercises for you. Due to the assessments I felt slightly underwhelmed at first. I couldn't wait to get started working out hard. But it got hard really quick after the assessment. They really know how to push you to the max of your current ability without pushing you too hard. Joe, the owner, makes your personal well-being, giving you the right program, avoiding injuries and achieving weight-loss goals his personal mission. On my part, I am looking forward to every session. Overall, I highly recommend checking them out.

Fantastic experience: Great

Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a different kind of trainer, Passion for Fitness is your place. Joe , Tim and staff are unlike any trainers I have ever worked with in the past. What separates them from the rest is mostly their incredible knowledge, observational skills and their individualized approach. The focus is on correct form, preventing injury and moving forward at your own pace. Joe starts with a thorough functional assessment and then devises an individualized plan based on your needs. Honestly, at first it felt slow but as I progressed I began to trust their process ! I initially came to PFF a few weeks before I was having my left knee replaced. I returned after the surgery and months of Physical Therapy but wish I had returned a bit earlier. I honestly think I get a much more individualized, thoughtful treatment regimen from Joe than I did with the PT, which was a fairly "cookie cutter" approach. I have significant amount of weight to lose but have already lost over 20 lbs and feel like I am moving in the right direction again. The staff are enthusiastic, encouraging and nonjudgmental. You sense they want you to do well and are invested in helping you reach your fitness goals and move towards health. You won't be disappointed with PFF !!

Fantastic experience: After several unsatisfied visits to physical therapy for my dropped foot(nerve damage), I decided I would need a personal trainer to strengthen my muscles also boost my confidence level! I wanted someone who understands my struggle. Only ones who have dropped foot problem would understand the struggle. Not even the doctors. Guess what? I found a gem right by me, Phoenixville, PA. I'm absolutely thrilled to introduce Passion for Fitness. They are located in Phoenixville, PA and Exton, PA. Joe , Tim and the team are amazing trainers. When I walked into gym , I felt like a noodle, no strength and low self confidence. Joe right away recognized my situation and he was so knowledgeable , I was so happy that someone actually understands my struggle. Today , I'm already seeing major improvements. It's been only 3 months! Thank you Joe, Tim and rest of Passion for Fitness team. I wish I met you way before but its never too late! All the best and I see very bright future for you all . Hip, Hip, Hooray! Sincerely HS

Fantastic experience: I started working with Joe Ranson and his team after injuring myself running on my own. The PFF Team do an excellent job not only getting you in shape SAFELY, but also motivating you to excel and be accountable for the work or lack or work you put in. That focus has helped me stay consistent in my workouts, has gotten my activity level to new highs, and my diet back on track. I feel better and look better thanks to Joe Ranson and his team. I highly recommend that you stop in a for visit and try for yourself!

Fantastic experience: No gimmicks, no potions: just plain and simple hard work that will show you results. Joe Ransom has an excellent team of trainers that will help you reach your goals. Their formula is simple: Core Strength training, Cardo and a proper diet all lead up to a healthy new you! Remember - this isn't a gym, this is a personal fitness training studio. It's not for everyone, only those that want to get serious results in a timely fashion. I'm glad I have it a try, it worked for me.

Fantastic experience: I have been training here with Joe and his incredible team for 4 months now and it is changing my lifestyle. I love the personal training- the trainers KNOW what they are doing and can help ensure your movements are right so that you get the workout you want without getting hurt. And the Honking classes are an incredible, butt-kicking cardio burn. You have to try out the honking bikes to know what I mean, they are incredible and like nothing you have tried before! All of the workout NONE of the lower back pain. I cannot say enough good things about Joe and his "Passion for Fitness!"

Fantastic experience: I found Passion For Fitness right after graduating from Gettysburg College with a degree in Health Sciences. I joined the team as a trainer and have learned a great deal to add to my education. The team at Passion For Fitness do a great job of meeting the individual needs of each client. It is a great community to be a part of, and the health and fitness benefits are unmatched! I am happy to be a part of the team.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to PFF for about 3 mos now and I am so glad I joined. I had been working out for 30 years and after all that time I have finally found the "smart" way to train. Joe and his team are very knowledgeable and the sessions are personalized to my long term goals. I have already seen a difference and feel so much better than when I was doing the same old routines that were actually harmful in the long run. Joining PFF was one of the best decisions I have made in a long time.

Fantastic experience: I have been training at Passion for Fitness for 3 months and I can already feel the difference! My back and knees are stronger and I have more energy and flexibility. Joe, Tim and Shane are the best!

Fantastic experience: The only reason I left is because of an involuntary job relocation! Familiar with Crossfit (I did it for months, so I am)? Joe provides almost the polar opposite approach to fitness. Form. Form. Form. I had no idea how terrible my form (both in and out of the gym) actually was and I am no novice to fitness. The approach they employ is 100% tailored to each individual and Joe is an absolute wealth of knowledge ranging from nutrition to physiology. I left sweating after each session with a readily noticeable bolstering of core strength. Is it cheap? No. But, how much does your long-term health matter? Not just losing 10 pounds before bathing suit season, but addressing underlying issues which may adversely impact your life further down the road. You can do your own research and attempt a lot of this on your own, but there are such incredibly subtle changes in movements that can have tremendous impacts on your fitness - and some of those changes sometimes need to be taught in person. I went once per week as Joe suggested to both get a feel for his services, but also for economic reasons ($$$). Just once per week gave me enough to more effectively guide my independent workouts. Great place! Highly recommend!!!

Fantastic experience: I have been working with Joe and Passion for Fitness for about a year now. I used to suffer a lot of lower back and knee pain, mostly from imbalances, working posture, and improper form on a lot of exercises. Working with them has put an end to the knee and back pain, and I have noticed a huge improvement over the year in my ice hockey performance. The Tuesday night kettle bell class is not only fun, but very rewarding. The instructors are all extremely friendly and always put safety first.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Passion for fitness (ppf) for almost a year now, it's definitely one of the BEST decisions I've made. Joe and his team of trainers are motivational, and transformational. I am an endurance runner and started getting into the ultra running scene last year. Training at ppf has allowed me to run those long miles injury free! I am a stronger now, than I have ever been - thanks to ppf. The routines are switched up constantly so you never get bored or tired of the same old thing. They always accommodate adjustments to schedules if needed. I highly recommend training with Joe and his team of personal trainers. If you want results and achieve your goals - this is the place.

Fantastic experience: I first met with Joe Ransom and his team in July 2014 when I was approaching the big 60 in the fall. My goal was to hit that birthday feeling better than I did at ten years earlier. I also wanted to get my balance back and walk down the stairs each morning without hurting. I have gone through 24 workout sessions with Joe and his team and the results have far exceeded my expectations. I enjoy the professional approach and the education and learning the last three months. Working out at Passion For Fitness beats any gym I have used. I can honestly say I feel better than I did 20 years ago let alone 10. My experience has been great and I am hooked.

Fantastic experience: I had been inactive for a really long time before I came to Joe and felt pretty bad most of the time. After losing 25 lbs. in last 2 months I feel so much better and I am finally getting healthy. It has become about so much more than losing weight. As my fitness level and everyday mobility has improved I feel so much better and I can't imagine going back to the way things were before. I was tentative at first about making the financial commitment but after these last few months I know that it was money well spent and I will definitely be continuing. I would say the best thing about joe and all the trainers is that maximize your time and effort so that you get the most out of every session. I know that if had just been working out on my own I would never have achieved the results I have had with them. Finally, I want to thank joe and all the staff for their commitment and hard work on my behalf.

Fantastic experience: I have been working out with Passion for Fitness for the last few months and have nothing but good things to say. While I already had a regular workout routine, I was getting minor injuries and nagging aches and pains from my running and exercise class participation. I started working with Passion for Fitness to find a fitness routine that would last a lifetime. Since working with them, I have eliminated my daily aches and pains, improved my strength and flexibility and learned to listen to my body. I enjoy coming to my workout sessions with their enthusiastic and knowledgeable staff. Their encouragement has helped me meet and exceed my personal exercise and wellness goals!

Fantastic experience: Started January of 2012 working out with the trainers at Passion For Fitness to work on muscle imbalances and improve my all over fitness. As an avid runner, I had cardiovascular endurance but needed some help with strengthening and stretching. I have been struggling with injuries for quite a few years which left me frustrated and unhappy. After 6 months at Passion For Fitness, I have learned so much and found that working out with weights is the key staying healthy and injury free! I enjoy working with all the trainers; each focused on helping me reach my specific goals. I added the Boot Camps and Honking Cycling Class to challenge myself and cut back on the weekly running miles. I feel better than ever thanks to Passion For Fitness!!!

Fantastic experience: Joe and his team are excellent. No question, no joke. This is by far the best thing I ever did.
