“Matt is an excellent personal trainer. From the onset, we talked about overall health journey and weight loss transformation goals with strength training. Matt knows his stuff. He builds on each session, ensuring progressive overloading and muscle strength, while keeping a calm and supportive demeanor all the time. Six weeks in and already I have overall reduction in inches. I'm grateful to have found Optimal Fitness.“

“Turning 60 was a big milestone for me with a planned retirement, cycling trips and more leisure time on my line up. What I did not expect was a sudden non traumatic knee injury that would stop me in my tracks, cause me unbelievable pain and prevent me from doing almost anything that involved my legs including going up and down stairs, walking for any distance, driving....you name it.

I did all the things that I thought would help: Iced it, rested it, used NSAIDS and spent hundreds on various knee braces. Three months went by with zero improvement. I felt old and demoralized and was absolutely sure that this was going to be my new life. It was devastating.

My sister, a physical therapist, recommended that I meet with Dr. McGovern and see if he could help me. She heard that he recently had started using Shockwave and had seen good results. I figured, what the heck?

Kevin did a movement assessment and evaluation of my knee, and we started both the Shockwave therapy, and exercises to strengthen my muscles which had apparently atrophied over years of sitting at a computer for work.

The results have been life changing! I am back to cycling 30+ miles daily on the weekends, walking several times a week on rugged terrain and doing water aerobics 3-4 days a week. I've lost 30 pounds and feel younger than I have in years. I continue to see Kevin a couple of times a month to ensure that I maintain my gains and continue to improve, using Shockwave as a means of ensuring that I don't develop similar problems in the future.

Kevin's approach of individualized instruction, utilizing multiple therapies concomitantly, and giving me tools to strengthen my other muscles to prevent future injuries has been a real game changer for me. I am looking forward to an active and enjoyable retirement that I was truly worried was going to be impossible for me just a few months ago.

I highly recommend Dr. McGovern! He helped me get my life back!“

“I absolutely love CK Fitness. The training experience here is truly unique. He is incredibly focused, talented, and has a rare way of pushing you to be your best without making it feel overwhelming or forced. Every session feels intentional, motivating, and tailored to help you grow stronger both physically and mentally. You can tell he genuinely cares about your progress, and that makes all the difference. Highly recommend CK Fitness to anyone looking for results with purpose and expert guidance.“

“Love this gym ? it's small but everyone is friendly and I look forward to my gym sessions. There's a decent variety of equipment and it never feels like people are fighting over stuff or waiting a long time for something.“

“I have been a member for 6 months and my transformation has been fantastic. I was researching what fitness program to join. I had done PT with Alicia at Orthopedics Plus. I was deciding between a huge fitness chain and Spectrum. I emailed Alicia for her opinion. She did not trash the competition but pointed out the benefits of small group training coupled with the symbiosis with Orthopedics Plus.
I did have a physical issue unrelated to my training and had to do PT at OP with Alicia. She and my trainer Brett put together a coordinated plan so I could heal while still doing fitness training.
I am 69 years old. I have lost 25 lbs, was counseled on how to change my diet and feel in better shape than I have felt for years. My trainer Brett is great. He is able to make sure everyone in the group is busy doing exercise all the time tailoring each group members activities specifically to the individual. The group members are constantly supporting and cheering each other on. The flexibility of having to change your schedule due to vacations etc is made easy by the office coordinator Tiffany. It’s a totally supportive situation and I give it my highest recommendation“
