Ok yall where do I start? I don't want to ramble on and on about how great my experience is going thus far but Joe makes it hard NOT too so I'll do my best to condense this review. Joe checks ALL the boxes of a magnificent trainer. He's driven by passion and goals and although unfair to himself, he measures HIS success by his CLIENTS success! He's reasonably priced in comparison to other trainers for ALL that you get. He offers competitive prices and flexible packages to fit various schedules. He's knowledgeable and wants to share his knowledge. His LOVE for his craft is palpable. The atmosphere is welcoming and his energy is contagious! He's a GENTLE Drill Sargent LOL. What I mean is he's NOT going to YELL as some trainers do but he's GOING to ENCOURAGE YOU AND PUSH YOU TO DO BETTER AND BE BETTER AND TELL YOUR STRONG AND PUSH YOU TO CHANGE YOUR MENTALITY TO KNOW YOU HAVE MORE IN YOU TO BE THE BEST PHYSICAL VERSION OF YOU YOU CAN BE because after all, that's why you're there!! I decided to seek out training because I needed someone to hold me accountable and I told myself, IF I PAY SOMEONE I'LL SHOW UP, well, yes I'm paying someone but I WANT TO SHOW UP and on my days where I'm exhausted and I drag myself into that gym, I'M ALWAYS GLAD I WENT because I was PUSHED and ENCOURAGED through my TOUGH workout AND I LEAVE W/MORE ENERGY than I came w/. My husband always asks when I'm done, how was your workout? My answer is always the same, TOUGH BUT GREAT! I can't say enough great things about Joe. Did I mention in ONLY 6 weeks I got my first 5 UNASSISTED Pull Ups FROM NOT BEING ABLE TO DO 1, ASSISTED? YALL, I WAS PUMPED AND OH SO MOTIVATED AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, EVEN ANOTHER GYM GOER WHO WITNESSED IT GAVE ME A HIGH FIVE!! IF YALL WANT A DOPE TRAINER AND VERIFIABLE RESULTS, GIVE JOE A TRY! YOU WILL NOT BE DISSAPPOINTED! And I said this would be condensed,...

Mr. Hall is one of the most influential people I have ever encountered in life! I first met Mr. Hall at a commercial gym. I was lost and confused. I didn’t know how to use the equipment, afraid of the awkward stares, and very clumsy. He approached me with a willingness to help. At that time in life, things were out of control, and it manifested physically! I had an array of health problems, I had never been physically active, and I had no idea where to start. I knew Mr. Hall was the perfect addition to my health journey goals when he modified exercises that produced results. There was an instance where he asked me to jump rope. I felt defeated, I was unable to get my feet off of the ground at the same time. He swung the rope just below my feet so I can hop over it! That experience gave me a new found confidence I’d never experienced physically before! He instilled positive affirmations daily with me to provide a strong foundation for my fitness journey. Like many people, I felt like if I can just get my life, career, finances, and relationships under control I can then start self-care and work on tackling my weight and health. God had different plans. Working with Mr. Hall gave me the zest to lose weight and gain life! I am forever in debt to him. The motivation, the discipline, and the positive reinforcements has changed me forever. I lost a total of 139 lbs in 5 months!! While my results are unusual, it was possible with strict diet and exercise, I did not have surgery or take any pills to retrieve the weight lost. He never gave up on me! So I didn’t give up on myself! The picture provided, was at the very beginning of my journey, the other half is current as of July 8th 2024!...

I had the pleasure of working with Joseph Hall as my fitness coach, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. Joseph is an awesome coach who pushes, motivates, and encourages you to reach your weight loss goals. His workouts are never easy, but that’s what makes them effective – you have to put in the work to see the results.

What sets Joseph apart is his genuine humility and dedication to understanding your individual needs. He takes the time to focus on what you want to achieve and works around your weaknesses. Personally, I have a knee issue, but Joseph provided substitute workouts that allowed me to continue exercising and still meet my target goals.

The workouts are not only effective but also exciting, creating a great atmosphere to work out in. I highly recommend Joseph Hall for anyone looking for a fitness coach who goes above and beyond to tailor workouts to individual needs and pushes you to achieve your fitness goals.

Thanks, Joseph, for your dedication and...
