Amazing!!!
"Punctual, well equipped, and knowledgable - Gilbert is helping my Mom regain her muscle mass, after she was diagnosed with arthritis that gave her limited mobility. Gilbert is not only helping with the exercises, he has developed a good rapport with my Mom and is giving her a lot of encouragement and confidence with each session, that promotes natural healing. Thank you Gilbert!"

Thankful for Gilbert
"Gilbert is the best! He has been very attentive with my problems that I have with my back and foot. I have sciatica that flairs up often if I don't exercise the right way. I have always been active and love to workout so i was very happy to find Gilbert, he has taught me how to exercise correctly. There was a time that I didn't think I could continue to workout but now I'm back at it and loving it! Especially since I have also developed plantar fasciitis and can't walk as long or as far as I used to. I would recommend his services to anyone who has had to limit they're exercising due to injury or conditions that hey have developed. It's never too late or hopeless, you can see that with Gilbert's clients that are in their nineties!

Hire Gilbert - he's amazing
"We hired Gilbert 3 months ago as a personal trainer and we have been extremely happy, and plan to continue to work with him. He has a great personality that is encouraging, supportive and very professional. But what really differentiates Gilbert from most trainers, is his extensive physical therapy knowledge, so that you know he's going to constantly physically push and challenge you, but its age appropriate and you won't be injured along the way!"
Thanks Sue and Steve! It is Awesome for both of you to make your health a priority despite a busy family and work schedule. I am highly committed in your fitness and wellness goals! Submit

"This was a surprise for my elderly dad. Gilbert's thoughtful demeanor hit the perfect notes of professional and friendly conversation to put him at ease for his first ever massage.
It was a lovely afternoon and your massage therapy was part of what made it so pleasant."

Just what I needed!
"Gilbert identified my areas of weakness and taught me movements and exercises to specifically address these. He challenged me but did not 'push' beyond my comfort level. He was very watchful and insured that I was moving correctly. He even monitored heart rate and oxygen flow! I now have an inventory of exercises that really help. My stamina, flexibility, balance, and range of movement are much improved."

Thank you Sue Ellen! I am so very proud of your dedication to your health and independence with the fitness programs tailored for you. Your perseverance in learning and desire to perfect techniques make training even more enjoyable! Submit

"Gilbert is awesome at revising workout to your individual level and comfort. He encourages you to push yourself, but not to the extreme of hurting yourself. I have had some trainers that acted like I was being a "baby" when I said something didn't feel good. Gilbert just finds another way for you to do it, or a different exercise all together. It may not seem like you are doing much, but when you check your heart rate you really are working!!"

"Gil is a gifted personal trainer. He is well trained and experienced and very intuitive about what his clients need. Not only that, he is personable, creative, patient and a lot of fun. Two years ago my now 97-year-old mother-in-law could hardly get out of a chair by herself. After working with Gil she was able to walk well with a walker in a very short time. She now can go up and down a flight of stairs (important in an emergency). Her balance and strenghth are improved and she is really proud of herself and more confident. He has greatly improved her posture and stamina. He also taught her how to fall and how to get up off the floor. In the beginning she had no interest in doing anything like this. However, after a short time she began to really look forward to working out with him. After all, some of his balance and strength exercises are done by dancing with Glenn Miller in the background! She now loves to brag that she has a personal trainer. We have referred many people to Gil and highly recommend him."
Respond
Thank you Judy! Wow! It will be two years this coming September 2016 training with Ruth. I truly enjoy her personality, perseverance and wisdom. I am very proud of having her as my oldest client and friend! Submit

"I have never been a "gym" person, or regularly stuck to an exercise routine. After I ended up being dx with an autoimmune disorder that actually prevented me from being in group workout settings/classes and I was getting more and more Inactive, I searched for trainers that might come to me. Vital Fitness's quote was very reasonable, and Gilbert's background in rehabilitative fitness was a plus.
His consultation was thorough, and my first session went REALLY well. Instead of someone just barking out commands, he takes the time to explain the movements, the benefits, tracking your heart rate..etc.
Another potential initial concern for me was having a "stranger" come to the house. Gilbert is professional, personable and within minutes I could tell that he was a trustworthy person.
So, if you're just waiting to FINALLY push the button and get yourself in shape..lose the excuses, and give Vital Fitness a shot. It's the best investment you can make in yourself."
