Stephanie's 'See It to Believe It' Results!

I'm on my seventh month of training with Mike (Owner/trainer) at Miller's. This is AMAZING! I'm a 54 year old guy that had a disc removed in my lower back and haven't been able to lift more than 20 lbs. in the years since, without pain. I'm lifting far more, now. And I have lost 40lbs of excess weight! Cholesterol is significantly down...(no meds needed)...sleep apnea is gone...I have more energy...and I can eat a reasonable amount without gaining weight.  

Mike is knowledgeable, patient, and motivating. He's also a smart businessman to keep his fees affordable for the 185th street neighborhood.

I have been training with Mike Karban and the Totally Toned Personal trainers since the end of November, 2013.  Words cannot express my gratitude for Mike & his TTPT Team.  They are truly professional, dedicated, passionate, and committed to your success in meeting your health and fitness goals.   

Mike is extremely supportive and he is an amazing motivator.  With every workout, he brings a lot of positive energy and makes them fun!  As I became stronger, he continued to challenge me with new exercises and goals, and instilled in me the discipline I need to continue to improve myself.  I work very hard to demonstrate my ability to meet and exceed those challenges.  Last fall, I had a broken collarbone.  Mike continued to work with me throughout my healing process.  He modified our sessions through my 8 weeks of healing, keeping me motivated and on track so I wouldn’t be discouraged because of this setback. 

Although our workouts can be intense, they are paying off.  I have lost close to 100 lbs. working with Mike and many, many inches overall.  What a rush it is for me to see how far I’ve come since my first workout with him!  I have accomplished so much with Mike’s guidance.  It is truly a team effort, and he is an awesome coach!   

If you want to get toned, fit and healthy, and have fun while doing it, I would highly recommend the trainers at Totally Toned Personal Training.  They are amazing, will make it happen for you & will change your life for the better!

Several months ago, I attended an orientation presentation on the fitness equipment at the Brunswick Rec. Center given by a Totally Toned personal trainer.    I was very impressed with their knowledge of the equipment, as well as the enthusiasm they showed regarding the benefits of weight training as part of an overall workout regimen.  

After getting the specifics of the training options, I decided to sign up for an trial period. Even after my third consecutive 20 session program, I have continued to resign because of the benefits I see in working with a personal trainer, especially one as knowledgeable and encouraging as my TTPT trainer.  They always seems to present a varied and challenging workout, and their knowledge in the area of weight training is not limited to just the equipment. They are clearly aware of the anatomical challenges each machine can provide, and the benefits of certain repetition programs.  In addition, they seem to instinctively know when to push the envelope a little further, and when to back off a little.   More importantly, they possess a key attribute that all good coaches, teachers and trainers seem to have, and that is the ability to motivate.   I believe motivation is the basis for not only achieving more than expected, but for having fun in the process.   

  Sincerely,

 Hi….my name is Randy. I am a 55 year old resident of Brunswick and have an annual membership to the Brunswick Community Recreation Center. I have been coming to the Rec Center for over a decade and have been enjoying all that it has to offer me and my family. I was fortunate to meet Mike Karban of Totally Toned Personal Training a few years ago in the fitness center during a training session with a client. I will say that one meeting has changed my life dramatically.    

Mike Karban is a people person. I was extremely impressed, excited, and motivated to get started on a fitness program with Mike after spending some time talking with him. Mike understands, to the personal level, what people are looking to try to accomplish in the fitness center. I was always reluctant to use the equipment and the free weights in the gym on my own. At my age it is intimidating not knowing what I should or should not be doing. Having a personal trainer is more than just getting instructions in the gym though….it’s a way to build confidence, consistency, and endurance while being professionally guided and guarded from injury. Also, you will be guided on nutrition and sleep. It became clear very soon that Mike, and Totally Toned Personal Training, would be the key to my success in the gym, and for my overall health.    

Here we are over three years later and my feelings have not changed one bit. I have worked with all the trainers of TTPT. Mike has top notch people on his staff.  I have missed very few workouts, and I I come even when I feel bad and leave feeling great.  I really am amazed at the gains I have made. Most importantly though ….I FEEL GREAT!!!  I am in the absolute best shape of my life….at age 55.    I am so glad I signed on with Totally Toned a few years back. I love coming to the gym and working with my trainer. I know that I would never have worked this hard, or got these results, on my own. I want to thank Mike and TTPT for getting me to where I am today on my fitness level. My doctor has nothing but praises for how I have helped my overall health.

 THANKS TTPT !!
