We deliver guaranteed results by instilling our trademark Body of Excellence program that features a holistic and progressive approach to each client’s individual goals, needs, limitations and current fitness level.

We take a very “hands-on” approach where one of our certified professional fitness coaches expertly teaches, motivates and guides you to maximize every movement of every repetition of every exercise of every workout.

Before getting into our intensive Body of Excellence exercise program, we perform an evaluation for every client – which includes a baseline intake of full body circumference measurements, current bodyweight and body fat…as well as a nutritional assessment.

The nutritional component of our BX program is just as important if not more important than the exercise component. That’s why we make it a requirement for all our clients participating in the 1-on-1 program to follow a customized meal plan AND we hold them accountable to eating properly on a consistent basis to maximize the fitness results.

I developed the Body of Excellence program after years of extensive research, practical application and personal experience with fitness experts, coaches and colleagues.

I developed the 1-on-1 component of the BX program to answer the growing need for integrating a safe, productive and most importantly individualized fitness and lifestyle plan for each person….something I discovered and felt was severely lacking after working in a massive commercial health club for 2 years.

I saw so many people in this meat market environment getting lost in the shuffle…people needing, in fact, craving personal and professional attention. I thought “why do you need to be intimidated or embarrassed to exercise?” EVERY ONE desiring to improve one’s health, fitness or lifestyle deserves better.

There is NO unsupervised exercise at Excellence In Fitness. Every client has a scheduled appointment time with one of our certified fitness professionals every visit to one of my studios. We meet with clients anywhere from 2 to 5 times a week with our 1-on-1 program.

We are so confident in the success each one of our clients will get following the Body of Excellence program that we back our 1-on-1 program with a 100 percent money-back guarantee.

1.) Restricting your water intake causes your body to retain fluid. The less water you drink, the more your body feels deprived and the more water it stores.

2.) Restricting your water intake promotes fat retention. Since your body uses water as the major component of blood to transport nutrients and wastes a lack of it can cause your body to perceive it as a major stress. To adapt your body will preserve fat.

3.) Restricting your water intake makes you constipated. When deprived of water, your system pulls it from the lower intestines and bowels, thus creating hard stools.

Try to consume at least half your body weight (in ounces) of water a day (8 ounces = 1 cup). Be sure to drink extra water when you excerise or when it’s hot outside. Aim to get at least half your daily quota from water itself, the rest from organic fruits and vegetables.

“ I started training with Joe after having my first baby. He helped me tone and sculpt my body back into shape. During my second pregnancy I continued to train with EIF. I was nervous about weight training while pregnant, but Joe provided a routine that fit the needs of my pregnant body. Also, I always felt safe during the workouts and could let him know if we needed to slow down or adjust the routine.”

“As a multi-sport high school athlete, I always thought that I was in good shape. After completing 1 full year at Excellence In Fitness, I now know what it feels like to be in great shape. I’m bigger, stronger, and faster now! All of the trainers at EIF are great guys to work with and they really care if you are doing well. I can’t thank them enough for helping me realize my goals and giving me the self confidence I now have. I want to especially thank Justin Mullen for all of his help and treating me like a brother. Thanks again! ”

“The trainers at EIF have really helped improve my strength and flexibility. Aside from my enhanced health and fitness, I have improved my golf game considerably. Since I started the ‘Body of Excellence’ program, I am hitting my irons 5-10 yards longer. I also have increased my driving distance 15-20 yards, as well as being more flexible. I am looking forward to taking my game to the “next level” with the guidance and hard work of Excellence In Fitness. ”

If any of those problems have your training regimen at a standstill, or if motivation, lack of accountability, or simply knowing where to start has you in a training rut, a personal trainer may be your answer. A qualified personal trainer has the expertise to guide you in the direction you need to go to accomplish your goals. As your trainer becomes more involved in your training, he can suggest changes that may be slowing your progress, such as dietary or rest habits. In addition, if your present routines do not fit your goals he can adjust your program. He knows different routes to the same destination, thus you won’t be bored. The two of you can devise routines that include short and long-term goals in order to motivate you. Your mutual interest in your progress makes you accountable to him.

The training agenda she plans for you will challenge you, as she urges you to set higher standards for yourself on a regular basis. If you enjoy working out at home, she will teach you the art of exercising alone. In addition, if you have an old injury, or present health problem, she can adjust your regimen to compensate for them. Your personal trainer will be well-versed in programs that produce the best results, in the least time, with the lowest risk of injury. Thus, he will be familiar with high intensity strength training, which meets that criteria, and was developed in the 1970’s for professional athletes. You will find access to more information about high intensity strength training, and other physical fitness questions at excellenceinfitness.com.

Think about it.  In your heart you know the truth.  There is no quick fix, no magic potion, special pill or wiz-bang exercise equipment that is going to suddenly make you fit.  The infomercials and advertisements you are bombarded with daily are produced by multi-million dollar companies that know how to push your emotional buttons.

They know how to get you to pull out your credit card.  But once you get their shake or pill or abdominal machine, you realize that you have been misled.  Because it’s not the pill, the potion, the fancy gym membership or the expensive equipment that will get you healthy and fit.  The ONLY thing that works is commitment to a healthy diet and regular exercise.  You’ve got to burn more calories than you consume – simple as that.

But there is only one way to internalize your commitment and cultivate your motivation:

You must personally experience results!

And the quickest, most foolproof way to experience those results is to have a coach guide you.

If you are honest with yourself and recognize that exercise and proper diet are the only ways to achieve the results you want and you are ready to make a lifestyle change… If you know you’re fooling yourself by paying for another gym membership, piece of equipment, shake, potion, exercise video, diet, or pill… then I can help you.

Through my experience, education and extensive study, I have developed an approach to exercise motivation that has enabled many average individuals to achieve amazing weight loss, health and fitness results.  It’s a program that will support you in becoming laser focused on the results you want, empower you to accept responsibility for making effective exercise part of your lifestyle, and provide you with the tools you need to reach your fitness goals.

And it’s only requires 5% of your available time – just five percent!

Is that too much to ask of yourself to improve and protect the most important thing you have – your health?

This program has provided many people with a new life.  If you have had trouble getting or staying motivated, you will now look at exercise as fun, have the tools you need to foster motivation, achieve your weight loss and fitness goals and actually enjoy your exercise program.

‘Body of Excellence’ is different from any other fitness program you’ve ever seen.

You don’t need a gym membership or expensive home fitness equipment.  You don’t need fad diets, doctor prescribed (or over the counter) medication.  You don’t need videotapes, books or manuals.  You don’t need anything but the guidance, support, motivation and accountability I’ll provide.  That’s it!

And I am absolutely certain this program will provide results for YOU.

That’s right, I’m absolutely certain.  So sure, in fact, that I guarantee you can achieve measurable, incredible results in just 12 weeks!  That’s right, I fully guarantee your results or your money back.  You won’t get that kind of guarantee anywhere else that I know of.

The bottom line is this: you will have to engage in a moderate exercise program and you will have to eat a more healthy diet in order to safely, effectively and rapidly lose weight – and keep it off permanently!  If you’re not ready to hear that, if you are still in search of some kind of “miracle” – then I can’t help you.  Because I promise you, based on years of trial and error, years of study and years of real life application…

…there is no “miracle” weight loss program out there.
