Absolutely recommend. I remember working across the street from Quest Fittness at a local coffee shop. I've been pursuing a career with the Grand Rapids Fire Department for over a year in half. One of the challenges of the application process was the Candidate Physical Agility Test (CPAT). I failed it the first time.

He also makes sure you stay safe while still making you feel that you are getting your money's worth. His example has also inspired me to become a trainer, coach, and Taiji instructor. You couldn't ask for a better person to be in your corner if you are serious about becoming a fitter version...
