Annie L Weight Loss Testimonial

Annie L.

"Seventeen months later and 35 pounds lighter, I feel 25 years younger! I have energy, muscle tone, and am stronger and in better shape at age 47 than I have ever been before. And I actually believe I can stay that way."

Through setting specific achievable goals for nutrient intake, growing motivation with weekly check-ins, and building on healthy foods I already liked (hooray for smoothies!), he helped me create a diet that worked for me and was actually sustainable, even with my finicky limited palate. I now also have a much better understanding of how my body responds to what I put into it, so I can make informed choices about what I eat every day.

"Barrett has been an essential part of my fitness journey." - Quincy B

Barrett has been an essential part of my fitness journey. He’s balanced in his approach as both cheerleader and coach, matching your level of commitment 100 percent!

With an aging body, my lack of energy and motivation is sometimes a barrier to my fitness goals. Barrett does well to manage those challenges for me , modifying workouts to best match my abilities and gently pushing to help me improve.

He’s been a joy to work with.

"Long story short —- Do I recommend him? For sure!" - Maria M

The overall focus for me were a couple of things: weight-loss, toning, balancing and building habits for my nutrition, and learning to use the gym machines/exercises. He’s been a coach and also a guide through it all, not to mention a very encouraging cheering-squad all on his own, and it’s honestly been a great experience! Even through a few set-backs in the past few months, he’s been very attentive, receptive of concerns, and mindful to accommodate the focus of the exercises we go through, and well – he’s made the experience of going to the gym a lot more bearable! Specially keeping realistic goals in mind and acknowledging each time it’s been met.

"In just 3 months following his health and exercise advice I’m down 13 lbs from 197-184, I’ve gained strength, and - I can’t say this enough - I feel better than ever!!" - Jason K

“I feel better than I ever have! I have always been an avid gym goer. I first reached out to Barrett for a little motivation when I noticed thicker love handles growing as my gym motivation was waning. All I wanted was a workout program I didn’t have to write myself, and someone to call me every week and make sure I did it. I got so much more! I didn’t just get a list of exercises, I got an explanation of the reasoning behind doing them, and doing them a certain way. He patiently coaxed me into taking some nutrition advice, which (once I agreed to watch what I ate) he added for no extra charge. He really listens when I tell him how I felt exercising and eating throughout the week and makes smart adjustments. He’s encouraging, super flexible, and keeps me ACCOUNTABLE.

"He is the ultimate compliment to your own drive. He not only gives you the tools to win, he guides you to the win." - Richard M

The recipe for succeeding at the gym is simple. It comes down to two parts. Part one is the motivation that you have from within yourself. The determination to trust the process, work hard and make yourself accountable. Part two is Barrett. He is the ultimate compliment to your own drive. He not only gives you the tools to win, he guides you to the win. You don’t work with him. He works with you. And that is important.

"At 50 years old, I'm now much more flexible and the physically strongest I've ever been in my life!" - Steve C

Working out with Barrett for the last few years has been the only exercise regime I have been able to sustain. My sessions have been exclusively virtual, mostly in my small kitchen, but Barrett has been creative in the best way to use the limited amount of space and equipment I have. At 50 years old, I’m now much more flexible and the physically strongest I’ve ever been in my life!

Barrett is a wonderful trainer. He gently inspires me to go beyond what I think I can do. I’m constantly amazed at how much stronger I’ve become. Also, and very important to me is that I don’t dread the workouts. His friendly and easygoing manner makes the time go by quickly. I cannot recommend training with Barrett enough.

"I have continued to get stronger and my relationship with my body has improved as a result." - Kateri B

“I was hesitant about personal training because I thought I knew what I was doing at the gym and I thought I was already strong enough, but I decided to give a personal training session with Barrett a try. That was a year ago and I have been working with him weekly ever since. I have continued to get stronger and my relationship with my body has improved as a result. Barrett somehow manages to maintain a balance of being super chill while also being encouraging, challenging me to try my hardest while also respecting my limits. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to better their health!”

"Now, every time I lift, I am breaking my own strength records!" - Jawanza L

“Having Barrett as my trainer has been a real eye opener. Initially, I didn’t see the results I was looking for because we focused on core, balance, and developing a strong foundation. Little did I realize the importance of focusing on core work. Now, every time I lift, I am breaking my own strength records! Barrett always keeps the training professional and helpful. During training, he is encouraging, present and focused on making sure you are doing the movement safely and correctly. I’d recommend this guy to any and everyone.”

"Best of all, I challenge myself to lift heavier in between our sessions, and he recognizes and supports my gains." - Anna M

“I’ve been strength training virtually with Barrett since July 2021. Our sessions have been critical to my attempt to build a habit of working out 3-4 days a week. Barrett coaches me on nutrition but is also supportive and non-judgmental in my efforts to pursue non-scale measures for health and fitness. He is responsive to my nerdy fitness questions and he is direct when something isn’t in his wheelhouse. When we started, our sessions left me depleted; now, I usually get a burst of energy about half an hour or so after I work out. Best of all, I challenge myself to lift heavier in between our sessions, and he recognizes and supports my gains. Barrett knows the struggle and that the journey sometimes sucks, and really the only thing to do is pick up your dumbbells again the next time. Discipline > motivation, consistency > perfection.”

I am very satisfied how far I have come. I have gain balance, and gain muscles. I know that we’ve been going through these hard times with this pandemic there’s haven’t been single moment where Barrett have not lot hope, now is where I have work extra hard to continue maintaining my goal. I am really honor in my progress and really want to thank you for all the support, and everything you have done until this point. A million thanks!!! Thank you for being part of the change I wanted to see in me.” – Kelvin A

"I don’t think I would be where I am in my journey without Barrett." - Brett M

“I’ve been training with Barrett for almost a year now, 3 days a week. Before I started going to the gym again in June 2019, I’ve hit a low point, I didn’t like where I was living, my work hours were getting to me and I just felt disconnect.

When I moved to Bushwick I saw that my new apartment was blocks away from a Blink and I made the decision to start going to the gym and really start focusing on better myself and put my health first. That’s when I started working with Barrett. He has helped me tremendously with my journey. He has taught me workout techniques I never would have done without his guidance. Each session we focus on a different workout routine, each focusing different parts of the body.

"Now I feel much healthier, stronger, and more comfortable with going to the gym." - Lasha A

A couple of months ago I was living a very sedentary lifestyle. I had finished college, gotten a job and my life had turned into a series of sitting in chairs in different locations. From my car to my office chair, back in my car to get home and sit at my desk and repeat all over again the next day. It was getting to the point were going up a flight of stairs was tiring. I always thought about going to a gym, but it seemed overwhelming, and I didn’t really know how to use all the equipment.

Luckly, I found Barrett’s business card at a local barbershop and gave him a call. He was very helpful and patient with me and taught me a lot. From how to use equipment at the gym, to plenty of different exercises, as well as how to pay attention to what I was eating and track calories.
