Something had to change. At my 30th high school reunion I was overweight and out of shape, my 50th birthday was fast approaching, and I needed two hands to carry one 20lbs dumbbell down the stairs. I attended a Lifetime workshop and was the second least fit person. Afterward, I met with the head trainer and bought a heart rate monitor, metabolic and heart rate testing, nutrition counseling and personal training. I began working with Devon in Fall 2010 and made amazingly quick progress. Within two months a few people noticed the change, within four months everyone noticed! The combination of nutrition counseling, weight training, and cardio worked wonders. 40 lbs just melted off and by summer 2011 I was in the best shape of my life with increased strength, muscle tone, and overall fitness. With Devon’s nutrition guidance, I changed what and when I eat, more protein, good fats, and limited carbs. The secret was tracking every single bite using a free app, very eye opening! Devon also encouraged me to do cardio and I complied with sessions on the elliptical, neighborhood walks, and Lifetime’s Aqua Aerobics and excellent Indoor Cycling classes, all of which I continue to do. Devon is easy to work with and has a huge repertoire of programs and knowledge to draw upon to meet anyone’s goals. He can readily explain the rationale for each of the exercises and the various phases. One of Devon’s goals is for his clients to remain mobile well into old age so we focus on strength, stability, and endurance. During training sessions, Devon works me hard but the results have kept me coming back twice per week! Scheduled sessions keep me accountable and Devon ensures I complete each and every rep. Devon was able to take someone who could not do one pushup and is now almost a gym rat, well versed in equipment and technique. It feels fantastic and empowering to be so strong! Thank you Devon!

Devon has helped transform my life to a healthier lifestyle. His holistic approach is attentive to my goals of strength building and weight loss that build as my capabilities increase. He is very knowledgeable, professional and personal. In the last ten months, I have lost over 35 inches and 80 pounds with my workouts and diet changes. His approach to strength building with custom cardio sessions (I do metabolic assessments every 4 months) has significantly improved my endurance, core, balance, flexibility, and muscle tone. I recently had an injury and Devon was quick to adapt to alternative exercise options. As my journey continues, I look forward to my workout sessions!
