“I originally began the nutrition and exercise program with Neil at Trench as I needed some extra push to get back into shape and feel more comfortable in my own skin. 24 weeks later I have accomplished that and so much more – both physically and mentally.

After meeting with Neil at the start of my program, I knew I was in for some tough days that would pay off in the end. The first few weeks were by no means easy, but once I began to see results I was excited to see what I could do with every passing day and week. Neil was able to manipulate my nutrition and training which allowed me to consistently lose weight, while gaining muscle. The nutrition was easier to follow than I had first anticipated and was set up in a very manageable way. The exercise program had me excited to get into the gym for every work out and constantly had me working to improve. I was held accountable through my program and with this saw the results I had hoped for. Neil provided a level of support that pushed me, but also supported me to get better.

What originally began as a goal to lose some pounds and feel better, has turned into so much more. I have developed a passion for the gym and a knowledge of nutrition that has me continuously wanting to learn more. More importantly, the past 24 weeks have allowed me to learn about myself. I have gained confidence and realized what I am capable of accomplishing thanks to the knowledge and support that was provided by Neil. There is no value that can be put on what I have learned and will take with me going forward – a huge thanks to Neil and Trench Fitness for having such a positive impact on my life!”

“Before I started my program with Trench, I was spinning my wheels. Continuing to eat a plant-based diet and running everyday, the same routine that had helped me lose a good amount of weight over the previous couple years, was not working for me anymore. Not only had my weight started to creep back, but I was also plagued with chronic injuries and was just generally feeling run down …. ALLLLL THE TIME! It was beyond frustrating knowing that I thought I was eating well and knew I was exercising regularly, but still wasn’t moving towards my goals. What’s more, my inner voice had reached a new level of awful. Saying that I was hard on myself is an understatement.

I reached a point where something had to give. I hated the way I was feeling and hated how hard I was being on myself. I chatted with a friend who had heard some good things about Trench, and we both decided to give it a go.

Here I am, 12 weeks later, an the only thing I regret is not starting this program sooner. This program has not only helped me achieve my weight and fitness goals, but more so, has made me feel like I am in total control of my diet (for probably the first time EVER)! Figuring out that I don’t need to kill myself at the gym everyday in order to achieve results was liberating, and this sleeping-in from time-to-time thing is AMAZING!

Generally I am a lone wolf who likes to do things on her own, but I have to say that having a friend do this program with me was imperative! Having someone to bounce ideas off of and share all of the triumphs and challenges that one is bound to experience throughout the program was extremely helpful!

This program is simple and straight forward, all you have to do is follow it and be patient. Seriously, that’s it! That in and of itself is not rainbows and butterflies, and it’s definitely not always easy, but it’ll get to you where you want to be.”

“The past number of years has been a very stressful time in my life. Both my personnel and work life has been overwhelming and I felt like I had totally lost myself. I was always extremely tired, was eating unhealthy foods and not exercising. I was in dire need of a change and this past spring, I got to a place in my life where something major had to change. I had heard a lot of positive things about Trench and decided to check it out – that was the best decision I had made in years!! As you know, I struggled the first week to get my head wrapped around eating more food than I was used to but once I let go of my preconceived thought processes and trusted in you and the program, it all seemed to come together! Each week as I gained strength, I gained more confidence. I was surprised in myself how much I was able to do, especially with my past knee issue. But with your guidance and support I felt like I could challenge myself every week. I have rediscovered my passion for working out and have realized that my commitment to a healthy lifestyle is so much more important than any short term gratification of eating high calorie/fat foods. It has also helped me deal with the stress in my life and I now have a different mind set about things. I have learned so much from you and can’t thank you enough for helping me along this journey!! So after 12 weeks, I lost 16 pounds, gained muscle/strength and at the same time, gained a totally new perspective on life!! This is just the start of my journey and feel like I can accomplish anything I set my mind to!! I am continuing to follow the program with the goal of losing another 35 pounds. I thoroughly enjoy this program and would recommend it to anyone looking to make a positive change in their lives!

Thank you again for your encouragement, positive feedback, support and guidance! You have truly made a difference in my life!”

“I began training with Trench Fitness in December 2011 with aspirations of becoming a competitive natural bodybuilder.  Neil’s approach to training and dieting is second to none.  No non-sense, no gimmicks, just results.  Neil doesn’t just provide you with a diet or a workout plan-but rather he gives you the tools and knowledge to live a healthy lifestyle.  Neil has been such an amazing coach, mentor, motivator and friend throughout this entire journey.  Neil’s techniques and approach to contest prep are proven to be both safe and effective.  Throughout my contest prep Neil was always there to monitor my progress and make adjustments from week to week.  Neil also took the time to give me quality feedback and was always available to answer any questions I had.  His diet strategy was easy to follow and I never lacked energy or felt like I was starving at any point throughout the prep.  The workout plans were always challenging and helped me maintain my muscle mass while achieving extremely low body fat.  In my first season I competed in 4 events, placing in each event including 3 first place finishes.  Competing this year was such an amazing experience and I couldn’t have done it without Neil’s help.  I will continue to work with Neil and Trench Fitness in the future and would recommend his services to anyone who is looking to make a positive change in his/her life!”

“Neil – Just wanting to thank you for all of your help and positive support to me when I was on my journey to eating better, taking off a few pounds and getting active!

I have lost more weight then I thought I would! Once I got the hang of the program it was easy and I have continued with it as a regular part of my daily cooking and meal preparation! I am excited to tell you that it has been 2 1/2 months since I finished the nutrition program and I have maintained my new weight. I went through Halloween with true ease and now coming into Christmas with all the goodies and parties, I have no cravings for all the “extras” that come with this time of year. I now find that when I don’t make good choices about what I feed my body, I feel like garbage! So I just don’t anymore!”

“I started the 12-week nutrition and training program with in January and began seeing steady changes very quickly. Within the first 2 weeks I had more energy and had dropped more pounds than I had expected. Neil continued to modify the program to fit my needs throughout, and I started to gain more size and definition. Upon finishing the 12 weeks, I have adopted a totally new lifestyle – one where I am completely in control of what I eat each day as I continue to track my diet and progress at the gym. It didn’t feel like the end of a program; instead I started to continuously set goals for myself and work towards them. I am very happy with the results and excited to continue my new, healthier lifestyle while sharing the information I’ve learned with others along the way”

“You really have been instrumental in teaching me that eating healthy is not hard at all.  My eating habits have changed like night and day.  I am very aware of what I eat now, and our grocery shopping has totally changed.  Your program has taught me that I don’t have to starve myself to lose weight!!!  I feel privileged to be in your program and will contact you in the future, thanks for all you have done.  Lots of people notice now that I have lost weight and ask me how I am doing it, of course I tell them to check out your website to see what you offer!!”

“To summarize what Trench Fitness offers is to summarize what every fitness company should strive to provide to their clients. I have tried numerous forms of physical training in order to lead a healthy lifestyle and challenge myself, but the past 16 weeks I’ve trained in Trench’s strength training group have been the most productive and rewarding I’ve yet to experience. Neil and the amazing trainers at Trench are dedicated to their clients and work hard to provide one on one advice and encouragement within their group sessions, helping to bring motivation and confidence to every workout. Their attention to proper form while training was also valuable to me as it helped to prevent injury and maximized the results I gained from the circuit training program. While working out in the Trench facility, I found it impossible not to benefit from the positive environment that is created by Neil and Bryce’s support and the encouraging energy that came with working in a group setting. Before beginning my training at Trench, I was nervous about whether I’d be able to survive even one class, but now I feel confident in how strong and capable I have become, and I owe all the fitness goals I’ve reached to my time at Trench!”
