"My goal was to be able to keep up with my very active children, and still have the energy to run a high volume restaurant. Jim Cleveland created a "life-style" program of fitness and nutrition designed for those challenges, which have proved to be very successful for me. My sessions with Jim allow me to relieve stress and increase my strength and stamina. He keeps my workouts challenging which keeps me motivated! At 54 years of age, I am able to keep up with my children, my employees and the restaurant, everyone! I highly recommend Jim Cleveland to anyone who is serious about his or her health."

"Jim has the extraordinary ability to change the way his clients think about their individual health and well being. He has challenged me to reach a level of fitness I couldn’t imagine attaining on my own. He inspired me to establish a goal (completing a marathon), and directed my progress in a way that made it realistic. The training was so paced and incremental I never felt overwhelmed or discouraged. But when there were setbacks, Jim was always there for support. He never doubted what I could attain, so I never knew to doubt myself. The feeling of wellness and accomplishment as I crossed the finish line was overwhelming. The entire journey was so positive, I know I will take charge to maintain the gains I have made through Jim’s training. "

"I have been managing my own company for many years and that leaves very little time for any thing else beyond family. During this time not only my company had grown but I had as well. After I turned 40 I realized that I needed to do something to improve myself physically before it was too late. With great trepidation I went to a gym for the first time since high school. Although I was severely over weight and concerned about how I would be received I inquired about a physical fitness program for novices, (I had no idea how to go about using the machines much less how to structure a program.) Before even attempting to utilize the machines, Jim Cleveland interviewed me to determine what my personnel goals not only short term, (losing weight) but also my long-term goals, which naturally included keeping the weight off, and toning my body. Jim was able to take my goals and gradually work me into a program that while demanding was personalized to help me transition from an inactive overweight body to a physically active body, which improved with each session. Jim's efforts not only consisted of implementing a training program while working with him, but to make me comfortable about using the gym for cardio workouts on days I did not train with Jim. This was then transitioned into recommendations, which included timing of meals, types of meals, and an overall psychology that transformed my life. That was almost 4 years ago and although I have achieved my initial goal of doing something to improve my physical fitness, the experience has provided me so much more. I now carve out a set time each day for self-improvement, which starts with feeling good about your self. This I was able to achieve due to the positive personalized coaching techniques utilized by Jim in his program which helps clients like me not only meet our short term goals but obtain an attitude which is designed to last your life. The extra unexpected benefits from working out was an overall improvement in my confidence level which helped me to stay focused at work, which had a direct effect on my productivity meaning less hours spent at work because when I was there I was focused on producing. This I was able to achieve only with the consistent positive input of Jim Cleveland. "

"I am a daycare provider and a mother of 3. My friends ask me how I did it and I tell them that I have been working out with my Personal trainer, Jenny. They are surprised that I am able to afford a Personal trainer and I explain that losing 40 pounds by working out with a trainer is the best thing that I have ever done for myself. Jenny holds me accountable and has been a huge encouragement. She has taught me that fitness and nutrition are the keys to a healthy lifestyle."

"Jenny is a great motivator and always challenged me to do my best. Jenny has a great demeanor and works me at a great pace. Jenny really put herself into training so I feel like I am getting something out of it. She makes sure I am not making mistakes on form and therefore not wasting my time in the studio. Since starting to work with Jenny, I have lost 6% body fat and 10 inches, plus several pounds. My goal is to keep up the pace and lose more weight but just as important, keep my cholesterol levels down so I do not have to go on medication. I feel so much better physically and even better, I feel so much better about myself."
