Dead lifts, kettle bell swings, Romanian lifts, lunges, and squats were all very intimidating to me. I knew I needed strength training in order to improve my running times and softball performance, but I didn’t know how or where to begin. Jonathan Pierce from Fix Body Group suggested that I make an appointment with Luke DePron at Fix for a workout session. I am very glad that I followed his advice. From the beginning, Luke has been a knowledgeable, kind, patient and gifted trainer.
He understands my needs and has focused on sport-specific strength exercises that have improved my performances in both master’s track and senior softball. Weight training doesn’t come naturally to me, but Luke has been very patient and always has an encouraging word. His intense focus on form and his attention to detail motivate me to work harder. His excitement over a well-executed dead lift is contagious, and when I get it right, he makes me feel like I have just won a gold medal.
At first, I had planned to workout with Luke for a few sessions, and then I would workout on my own; however, Luke’s professional manner and his expertise has changed my mind. I learn something new in every session, and I value the knowledge and encouragement I get from our workout sessions. I look forward to improving my technique and form, as well as my strength, with Luke’s guidance.
