"I'm not gonna lie - I was skeptical when I first contacted Curtis. I'd been burned by so many 'fitness experts' before who just wanted to sell me some cookie-cutter program. But man, was I wrong about this guy.
The first thing that shocked me? Curtis actually LISTENED. Like, really listened. When I told him about my back pain and how I couldn't even touch my toes, he didn't brush it off. He did this whole assessment thing and found out my hip flexors were basically concrete and my shoulders were a mess from years of desk work.
I'll be real with you - the first month was tough. Not because Curtis was some drill sergeant (he's actually super encouraging), but because I was finally doing things RIGHT for the first time. He checked in on me constantly through his app, and whenever I wanted to skip a workout or grab fast food, there he was with exactly the motivation I needed.
Six months later? I'm down 28 pounds and I actually LIKE how I look in photos now. My wife says I'm a completely different person - more energy, better mood, and I'm not complaining about my back every morning. The crazy part is, it doesn't even feel like 'dieting' anymore. Curtis taught me how to eat in a way that actually works with my life.
Look, I'm just a regular guy from Elmira who was tired of feeling like crap. If Curtis can help me get my life together, he can help anyone. Stop making excuses and just call the guy."

"Okay, so I'm gonna be completely honest here. After having two kids and working full-time, I felt like a complete stranger in my own body. I was exhausted 24/7, nothing fit right, and I had zero time for myself. My husband kept suggesting I 'just go to the gym' - like it was that simple!
When I found Curtis, I was honestly desperate. I'd tried those Instagram workout challenges, bought every supplement that promised quick fixes, and even did one of those crazy juice cleanses. Nothing worked, and I just felt worse about myself.
What I loved about Curtis was he didn't make me feel stupid for not knowing what I was doing. When he did my assessment and found all these muscle imbalances (apparently carrying toddlers for so long really messes with your shoulders!), he explained everything in a way that actually made sense.
The best part was how he worked around my crazy mom schedule. He set up my workouts so I could do them at home with just resistance bands and dumbbells while the kids napped. And when I texted him at 9 PM panicking about meal prep for the week, he actually responded with helpful ideas instead of some generic 'you got this!' message. months later, I'm down 32 pounds and wearing clothes I haven't fit into since before my first pregnancy. But honestly? The biggest change is how I FEEL. I have energy to chase my kids around, I'm not constantly exhausted, and my husband says I'm like the woman he married again.
Curtis didn't just help me lose weight - he helped me remember who I am underneath all the mom guilt and exhaustion. If you're a busy mom who feels lost, trust me, its atleast worth a sit down.

"A year ago, my doctor sat me down and had one of those conversations you never want to have. My blood pressure was through the roof, my A1C was borderline diabetic, and she was worried about my heart. She said I had maybe six months to turn things around before we'd have to start talking about serious medications.
I was scared. Really scared. I'm only 48, and the thought of being on pills for the rest of my life... it just hit me hard. My doctor mentioned this trainer in town, Curtis, who worked with people like me - people who weren't just trying to look good in a bathing suit, but people who needed to change or face real consequences.
When I first met Curtis, I was honestly embarrassed. I could barely walk up a flight of stairs without getting winded, and I felt like such a failure. But Curtis never made me feel judged. Not once. He listened to everything - my medical history, my fears, how frustrated I was with my body betraying me. Curtis broke everything down into small steps I could actually handle.
Those first few months were emotional, not gonna lie. There were days I wanted to quit, days I cried in frustration, days I felt like it was too late. But Curtis was always there - checking in, adjusting my plan when I was struggling, celebrating the small wins when I couldn't see them myself.
A year later, I just got back from my doctor's appointment. My blood pressure is normal. My A1C is in the healthy range. She said whatever I'm doing, keep doing it, because she's never seen such a complete turnaround. I actually cried in her office - happy tears this time.
Curtis didn't just help me lose 45 pounds. He literally helped save my life. My kids are going to have their dad around for a lot longer because of what he taught me. That's not something you can put a price on.

"Look, I'm not one for long stories, but this needs to be said.
Two years ago, I couldn't hike more than half a mile without my back seizing up. Couldn't fish all day because sitting in the boat killed me. Had to watch my grandkids play instead of joining them. It sucked.
Found Curtis through a friend. Told him straight up - I don't want to look like a bodybuilder, I just want to do the stuff I love again without pain.
He got it. No BS, no fancy gym equipment. Just resistance bands, dumbbells, and exercises that actually helped with real life. Fixed my hip mobility, strengthened my core, built my endurance. Eight months of consistent work.
Results? Just hiked 5 miles in the Adirondacks last weekend. Spent 3 hours fishing without my back complaining. Played tag with my grandson until HE got tired.
Curtis gave me my outdoor life back

 I failed with Curtis twice before this worked.
First time, I lasted three weeks. Got swamped at work, missed sessions, stopped tracking my food. Just ghosted him completely. Second time, made it two months before a big project consumed my life and I bailed again.
When I reached out the third time, I was embarrassed as hell. Expected Curtis to tell me to find someone else. Instead, he said 'Let's figure out what went wrong and fix it.'
This time was different because Curtis actually listened to my crazy schedule. I'm in sales, work 60+ hours a week, travel constantly. Instead of giving me some perfect meal plan I'd never follow, he taught me how to make better choices at airports and gas stations. Instead of hour-long workouts I'd skip, he gave me 20-minute routines I could do in hotel rooms.
The game-changer? When I started making excuses again around month three (because I always do), Curtis called me out. Not in a mean way, but real talk: 'You're about to quit again. What's different this time?' That conversation saved everything. I'm down 35 pounds and actually have energy after long days. My clothes fit better, I sleep better, and I'm not constantly exhausted. The crazy part? It fits my life now instead of fighting against it.
Curtis stuck with me when I didn't stick with myself. Just don't expect him to let you make the same excuses forever."

"I'm not good with this stuff, but Curtis said I should write something, so here goes.
Met Curtis through a buddy who wouldn't shut up about this trainer who 'gets it.' Honestly thought it was just another fitness guy trying to make a buck. Boy was I wrong.
First thing Curtis did was ask about my old football knee and why I walk funny sometimes. Nobody's ever noticed that before. Then he starts explaining how that's probably screwing up my whole body - and he was right. My hip's been killing me for years, and I just thought that was normal.
What I like about Curtis is he doesn't sugarcoat anything. When I showed up hungover to a session, he didn't lecture me. Just said, 'This is gonna suck today, but we're still doing it.' And when I was making excuses about meal prep, he called me out: 'You spend 20 minutes scrolling your phone every morning. Use 10 of those minutes to pack a decent lunch.'
The guy remembers weird stuff too. Like how I mentioned my daughter's soccer games, and three weeks later he's asking how her tournament went. Or when I was stressed about work layoffs, he actually checked in on me outside of our sessions.
Seven months in, I'm down 28 pounds and my knee doesn't hurt anymore. But honestly? The best part is having someone in my corner who actually knows what they're talking about. Curtis isn't just some trainer - he's become a friend who happens to know how to fix broken people.
