Dear Vince,

I am so happy to be able to bike and swim again finally after 2 years of prolonged rehab from my knee injury! I finally rode outside a few weeks ago (even the hills) and swimming has become fun again. When I started your Fat blast clinic 5 months ago I still had a slight limp and even activities of daily living were sometimes a challenge for me due to the muscle weakness in my right leg. I couldn't even do a spin class let alone ride outside and though I had formerly enjoyed swimming, even that was affected in a way that took all the fun out of it. I was de-conditioned from a year and a half of limited exercise and really at my wit's end over how out of shape I had become since I injured my knee. I had tried many times before I came to you to get back into exercise but I kept having set backs. Though I had finally been making progress with a great physical therapist, I really needed more if I was ever going to regain any kind of athletic fitness again.

Though my intention when I met you and Tom was to follow up on a recommendation from my son's high school coach, I quickly realized while talking with you both that joining Gabriele Fitness would not only benefit my son, but me as well. I have tried trainers in the past without much success, no one had the level of knowledge and expertise that you and Tom have. I knew we would both benefit from your educational backgrounds in exercise physiology and your professional backgrounds as trainers to professional athletes, not to mention your own success as athletes. Your policy of safety first and of striving for general fitness vs sport specific training for kids made me feel totally confident in sending my son to to you. In terms of my needs, you knew exactly what my exercise limitations were and equally important, you showed me what I COULD do to get stronger, your advice echoed my trusted physical therapist and doctor so I was confident my son and I would be in good hands at Gabriel Fitness.

Not surprisingly, my son and I both gained over all fitness in your programs, which are not only effective, but really fun and motivating with a great energetic vibe. However I was surprised at how quickly I began to notice changes in both of us though. I can't believe how much better I feel compared to when I started. I can swim and cycle in a way I thought I would never be able to again. I still have a way to go, but I feel stronger every week and have happily gotten back to my pre-injury weight while I was at it!

Gabriele Fitness has it all! The staff are all very professional yet warm and I love the energy of the small groups. You guys make us all laugh and everyone knows that's the best medicine! At the same time everyone gets the individual attention they need. I really appreciate the flexibility and variety in the program and can't wait until I have time to do more stretching with Vanessa, the session I had with her made me feel like Gumby! The friends who I have brought to sample your classes have all signed on which is a testimony to how enjoyable the experience is at Gabriele Fitness. Thank you for offering such a unique program, it has really improved my quality of life.

Sincerely,
Michelle Lozina-Cohen

"I have worked out with Vince for the past year and with his training system and nutritional guidance my cholesterol has dropped 40 points! My Doctor is amazed and has encouraged me to continue my program instead of the medication he was sure I would need. Gabriele Fitness and Performance offers a Fitness Coaching program like none other!"

"I never put fun and fitness in the same sentence until I joined Vince Gabriele's Fat Blast Bootcamp. Previous gym memberships and fitness classes all ended the same way with me...routine, boring and with little to no results. After 8 weeks of the Fat Blast Bootcamp, my energy level has increased and my body has been (and continues to be) transformed, all while having fun. Vince gives 110% of his time, energy and expertise, and because the class size is small, he is able to tailor certain exercises to fit individual needs. In addition to being highly motivational and encouraging, Vince also provides nutritional advice and information on healthy eating habits. I highly recommend this class to anyone who wants to get in shape, or add another level to an existing fitness routine."

"As a firefighter, I need to remain in peak physical performance to meet the demands of my job. I need a fitness trainer who understands the physical challenges of my job, and can bring my performance to the next level. I have worked out with Vince for over two years, and he has brought my fitness to a level that has even exceeded my expectations. Vince is very passionate and dedicated to helping me achieve my performance goals. He brings an energy and enthusiasm to every session that motivates me to put forth the best effort possible. Through Vince's vast knowledge and experience, he has created a customized training program that challenges me to reach my full physical potential. If you are looking for an expert trainer who will teach, coach, motivate, and inspire you to greatness, Vince is the one for you!"

"I have been exercising on and off for a long time and have never found a program that I could stick to until now. By attending the Fat Blast class along with a good nutritional plan I have dropped 15 lbs. and 2 sizes! Vince and his team provided me with individualized attention due to their small class sizes and modified the exercises to my fitness level so my experience would be successful."

"I joined GFP's first women's fat blast class and had immediate results. I lost weight, toned up and definitely saw a surge in my energy level. I was seeing these results while having a lot of fun so I decided to continue. What I wasn't expecting were the long term benefits I have gained; my posture has greatly improved, a nagging shoulder injury has become virtually painless and I even lowered my cholesterol. The level of attention I receive at GFP is excellent. It is like having a personal trainer and getting to work out with friends all at the same time. Vince and Tom make sure our technique is always correct, they assign specific exercises to strengthen weak muscles and give us great tips on nutrition and eating plans. I look forward to my fat blast classes for not only the exercise and results I see, but the camaraderie as well!"

"In January of this year I looked at a picture taken of me over the Christmas Holidays and realized how bad I had let myself go. This was further hammered home when my kids and I first attempted the "Wii Fitness" routine and I came out classified as "Obese" - they thought this was quite funny; me, not so much... I was tipping the scales at just north of 260lbs and my lifestyle was about as unhealthy as could be. My wife and a friend heard about the new "Men's Fat-Blast" program and urged me to sign up. I was a little apprehensive at first but then heard some other guys I knew were signing up, so I went for it. Vince and Tom introduced themselves at the first class and their enthusiasm and commitment to the program was clear. The time spent on education about each step of the workout (stretching, warm-up, workout and cool-down), the detailed demonstrations of proper technique and body position, and the nutritional focus in addition to the workouts were unlike any other program I have experienced in the past. During the first few weeks my tongue was hanging out, my heart was threatening to go on strike, and I could barely finish the exercise routines - but surprisingly, it felt good to finally be doing something healthy for a change and the camaraderie of the class actually made it fun. Fast-forward six months. I lost over 40 lbs, my lifestyle and eating habits are so much better, my cholesterol and blood pressure have dropped dramatically, and I am actually getting stronger week by week. Although I have reached several of the goals I set for myself, my wife and four kids are five really good reasons to keep "getting after it" so I'll be in the fall Men's Fat-Blast class for another round. I don't think a simple "thank you" is enough to say how much I appreciate what Gabriele's has taught me about fitness, health and nutrition. However, it's the simple "thank you's" I get from my kids for doing all the things they want to do without my health getting in the way that add up to more than I could ever express to you and your team. Thanks for everything!"

"I have truly enjoyed my Fat Blast classes with Vince! The workouts have been fun. Vince's enthusiasm has been contagious & motivating. I like the fact that Vince was able to tailor the workouts for my ability level. I have seen results in less time than I expected. The workouts combined with Vince's nutritional guidelines have helped me shed fat & shift the weight. I have been able to wear pants I have not worn in over a year. My clothes fit so much better! I really like Vince's ACR philosophy (to take Action, make a Commitment to see Results). I highly recommend Fat Blast for anyone who wants to see results from their workouts!"

"I was a Fat Blaster as I trained for a Century bike ride and the Gabriele workouts were an integral part of my training. Not only did they zero in on my core and strengths abilities but they also gave me a boost in my mental attitude to feel up to the challenge. Thank you Vince!"

- Patricia

"Hiring Vince Gabriele as my fitness trainer is one of the smartest things I have ever done. Vince is the best trainer I have ever had. I have hired other trainers prior to Vince and no one gave me the results I needed. Vince did. Like most people, I had challenged areas that I wanted to work on. I came to him with specific goals & he is the only trainer the helped me achieve them. Vince is knowledgeable and dedicated to his clients. He took the time to get to know what I needed and I saw the results. I am a client that is 100% satisfied with his work."

"I have been working out at Gabriele for six months, lost 33 pounds, four inches around my waist and fit into clothes that had been gathering dust in my closet for (10) years. My trainers, Vince and Tom, make it easy to work out three days a week because of the energy and commitment they bring to each session. Their assistance with diet, stretching and designing a workout program to meet my needs has been the key to my success. I can't wait to read about their next success story!"

- Jack Reiner

"I had the good fortune to work with Vince for three years. Vince did a great job changing up our workouts so that they were challenging and never boring. He kept me on track and on target, and ensured that every minute of my session was productive, even when I wanted to loaf. He's professional, punctual, and personable, but most of all, Vince is a great motivator: I always felt like he was in my corner, and I know we got results together that I couldn't have realized alone. I lost 160 pounds and went from breathing hard after a flight of stairs to running 5Ks. Working with Vince changed my life; it may even have saved it."

"I have enjoyed working out most of my adult life but the quality of this class far surpasses anything else I've ever done. You never get bored - different exercises are taught after only four weeks. And I love that Vince, Tom and Megan know exactly what to suggest to take each exercise to the next level. I think what strikes me most, though, is how EFFICIENT the workouts are - I am enjoying much better results in so much less time. I used to work out much more often before Gabriele yet didn't achieve the results I have now. I think I'm the strongest I've ever been - which is perfect for keeping up w/ my kids! I'll never leave Gabriele!"

"I had never had a gym membership before. Never thought that was my thing. I thought doing the occasional set of pushups and sit ups in my basement was all I needed. But I faced facts after my 40th birthday that staying in shape was not going to be as easy as it used to be and I needed to put more effort into it. Plus my doctor told me I needed to do some real cardio exercise. Gabriele Fitness' Fat Blast Boot Camp is a perfect program for my needs. Vince Gabriele has created a program of exercises that are simple enough to do yet intense enough that I get a real work out. Since joining Gabriele Fitness' Fat Blast Boot Camp, I feel great about myself. I have energy I hadn't had in years. I am more flexible, have better stamina and I feel stronger. The pants fit looser too! Vince Gabriele has created a friendly environment with small classes where the trainers are able to easily supervise the workouts. And the nutrition advice is also a tremendous help in staying healthy. Fat Blast Boot Camp is not just about the workouts, it's about living a healthier, happier lifestyle."

"I joined the GFP Fat Blast Class in late September, 2008 and quickly realized it was different from any other exercise class I've taken. I had been exercising for four years and, while it made me feel good about myself and kept my recurring back problem a memory, there weren't any noticeable changes to my physique or fitness level. After one month of classes at GFP, I took waist, hip and thigh measurements because the class was making me feel better and stronger than I ever had before. Four months later, I took my measurements again and had decreased 1 - 1 1/2 inches everywhere. But, while that is wonderful, what I really am enjoying is the feeling of strength and personal satisfaction I gained. An enormous side benefit of the class is the friends I have made - the trainers and the others in my class have forged a bond around personal fitness, healthy nutrition, and lots of funny moments! I cannot wait for the new session this September."

"I've been doing the fat blast sessions for almost a year now. I've been to many health clubs and they do not compare to the type of workouts you get at Gabriele Fitness. The workouts are dynamic each week and are planned to work specific areas of your body to strengthen and tone each muscle. The intervals at the end burn the fat away. It's fun and having this increased level of fitness helps me to have a healthier lifestyle. "Action, Commitment, Results" says it all. Thank you Gabriele Fitness!"

- Judy

"I enjoy working with Tom and he keeps the workout interesting. He tailors the workout to my needs and I have seen great results. My back hardly bothers me anymore whereas it was constantly in pain prior to working with Tom. I have never been addicted to exercise and never thought that I would actually enjoy working out, but now I do. It is thanks to you, your staff as well as your clients. I would recommend Gabriele's to anyone."

"It was time to change my life at 52; it was time to get healthy and fit. I finally made a commitment to me - and the first step was finding the right environment that would offer good training for my age and support for my goals. Since training at Gabriele Fitness for nearly one year I've accomplished so many things, including 17 lbs., improving my muscle tone and running for the first time. I've completed 3 5K's with 3 more to go before the end of the year. I never would have thought that possible. Gabriele Fitness has been the inspiration for me week in and out to continue my journey until I reach my personal goals."
