I found Joe by referral 4 months ago. I was a 75 year old healthy but out of shape lady. I am going to Ireland next week on a hiking tour and Joe has done wonders with my body’s muscles. I am ready to go and I feel confident I can climb those beautiful hills.
It is also important that I trust and respect Joe. He has guided me so well each session. Even when I didn’t think I could do it, I could because he knows what I can do and he creates as we go. A truly unique experience each session.
I will continue working with him when I return, because I like him as a person, too. He has helped me to become my fit self.’

I've been training with Joe since October 2019. From the onset, he's been amazing about listening to what it is I'm looking to get out of our sessions and finding the right balance of pushing me to grow and improve without being overly aggressive or pushy. He's incredibly focused on you as a client and will go out of his way to support you both in and out of the gym. He makes your sessions fun, always keeping things different - I sometimes feel like I never do the same workout twice - and his sense of humor and engagement while you're with him makes you feel like you're hanging out while working out. And as for results, I couldn't be happier with what he's helped me achieve… read full review

I've never wanted to see/need to see a trainer for my own health. However, due to Dr's orders and a lower back injury, I found Joe / Fitness Republic on Yelp and the reviews were spot on.I lucked out finding the reviews on Fitness Republic. Joe is one of the few trainers that knows his trade, shares & explains the "why" and knows how to make his clients feel welcome. Even with Joe's help to stabilize my core and spine, my injuries had progressed too far so I still had to have back surgery but as soon as I am ready, I'm definitely headed back to have Joe whoop me back in shape. If you're looking for a trainer, look no further.
