Testimonials

I have been able to help many people with their bodies and love of sports. Here are comments from some of my clients.

Horse Rider - Patricia H.

Marvin has been my personal trainer for almost two years now. He has helped me perform better as an athletic, and on a personal level, through balance, strength and endurance training. I am a self-motivator but there is no way I would put myself through the workouts Marvin does. I am in better shape now than when I was younger. I won't say they are fun, but Marvin is a pleasure to workout with. I would highly recommend Marvin to anyone who is serious about getting into better shape and feeling great about themselves.

Former Marathon Runner - Danielle F. - Age 30

Self-determination and discipline can only get you so far when it comes to achieving and maintaining your physical health goals. Precision custom workouts, external motivation, and a few laughs will leave you amazed at your results!

Six weeks with Marvin Dove as my personal trainer has transformed me from squeezing into a size 8 and wearing long blousy shirts to having to alter down a size 4. I have lost 15 lbs, significant body fat, and have achieved the elongated muscle definition that I have always desired.

It doesn't take yoga or Pilates to look long and lean. It takes a professional with the know how to get the job done right.

By the first week I felt tighter, by 4 weeks I fit back into my "skinny " clothes and by the 6th week, I had to buy a new wardrobe. Interestingly, the clothes that I fit into when I was even 5 lbs lighter are too big for me now. Marvin has bettered my posture and transformed my body by losing fat but gaining the right kind of muscle, shaping my body into its best form to date.

I am a former marathon runner and have worked with several trainers throughout my life without ever really being satisfied with by body. I would end up getting bulky or bored.

I was hesitant to begin working out with a trainer again but a 20 pound weight gain made the decision for me. I had observed Marvin working with other clients at our gym. Every work out looked much different than the next. Impressed by his technique and the smiles on his client's faces, I made the decision to give him a shot. After my first work out, I was hooked. Turns out, I was doing all of the wrong exercises for my body type. Who would guess that any kind of a workout could be working against you?

Marvin Dove works with every client on his or her level. He customizes workouts for each individual to meet and succeed their specific goals. He understands body types and can foresee the potential. Marvin is an expert in health & fitness. His vast experience, education and proven results have paid off for me tenfold.

He continues to motivate me by challenging my psyche, switching up my routines and entertains with a great sense of humor. Marvin is a very sincere person and someone that delivers with integrity. I truly believe that Marvin takes great pride in his work and is happiest when his clients succeed.

Returning To Exercise - Mary W.

I am pleased to recommend Marvin Dove. I have worked with Marvin for over a year and a half, four times a week. The first thing that struck me about Marvin is his personality. Being a woman in her early 50's it was very important that I felt comfortable. Marvin fit that bill completely. I immediately felt comfortable, and his wit keeps me laughing all the time.

Marvin's knowledge base is quite extensive, and within that base enters sensitivity. He is very sensitive to my needs. For example, there are certain things that I don't want to do in the main gym area, so Marvin takes me into the workout room and we workout there. He is sensitive to my strengths and weaknesses. He expands my strengths and encourages me on my weaknesses. Marvin always asks how I am feeling and is in tune with my needs and adjusts the workout accordingly.

When we work out his attention is totally focused on me. There is never a cell phone call taken nor does he carry on conversation with other people while we are working out. His routines are always new and fun and he definitely keeps me motivated.

Organization is an area where Marvin is a master. He makes sure that the cardio and weight training are covered at all times during our sessions. Marvin is never late, nor have I shown up for my appointment and found that I have been assigned to someone else. He is always ready, willing and able. He makes me feel like I am his only client.

I highly recommend Marvin. I am an extremely happy client.
