I was referred to Abe at Body Fitness after a former trainer retired. After being told I was obese and had high A1C numbers I was motivated to get healthier. However, after seeing trainers on TV berate people and seeing young trainers at another facility have obese people attempting exercises (i.e. burpees, pull ups, high intensity workouts) where they failed or hurt so badly that they didn't come back I was very hesitant about working with a trainer. I met with Abraham and had an open discussion about my personal fitness needs. He has never yelled at me and if there is an exercise I can't do or that is painful he finds a different method for working that muscle. Over the summer he helped create two daytime half hour exercise classes for a group of my teacher colleagues. He and Sally gave us a good workout, in a time period at a good price and with good results. The trainers all have different methods so there is a trainer here to...

My fiance and I have been taking dancing classes with Abraham for the last several months. We absolutely love how Abraham teaches his students. He makes sure everyone has a good foundation to build from and never makes you feel out of your comfort zone. So even if you are complete beginner like we were, you will be able to pick things up quickly! He's also willing to point out and critique issues with your form, footwork, or just overall styling of whatever dance you are doing. If

Abraham has also been extremely flexible with our private dance lessons that we had to move several times due to scheduling issues on our end happening around our wedding. We couldn't be more pleased to work with him and we are looking forward to continuing dance lessons with him in the future!!

Thank you for all the help...

My husband and I have been taking group dance classes with Abe this year and have loved learning swing from him. His teaching style is so approachable and he makes it easy to review what's learned in class by sending videos that you can watch after class. When it came time to take private dance classes for our wedding, picking Abe was a no brainer! We spent about 10 weeks building choreography for a cha cha and practicing weekly with Abe. He helped us to practice our dance until we had it down cold and we had fun in the process and our dance was such a hit with our guests! The whole experience was truly one of the highlights of our wedding planning season. Highly recommend taking classes with Abe, you'll have so much fun and it's the best date...
