Pumping with Baker Personal Training

Charles has been my personal trainer for 18 months and I am VERY happy with the results! I have definitely noticed improvement in my strength, my cardio endurance and… my waistline! I blame Charles for the fact that I can now wear suits I couldn’t before. Yes, I have worked out with other trainers in the past. However, no one else compares to Charles in his ability to understand where I was when I started, what my needs are and how to get me into the physical shape I needed and wanted to be. In addition, Charles has provided me with a recommended dietary plan along with suggested supplements. He is well worth the investment in ME!

Charles has been my personal trainer for 6 – 8 months. The first time I went to see him, I had no idea that I was in such terrible shape. But Charles has changed all of that. He isn’t into fancy «new» techniques. With Charles, it’s the basics … running stairs, hitting the treadmill, and weights. But it works! My cardiovascular endurance has increased dramatically, my stregth has improved, and I’ve even dropped a couple of inches!
If I would eat the way Charles wants me to (he gives you a guide and then requests that you record all of your meals for his review once per week), I would probably be even thinner. But that’s my fault, not his. You can see from all of my Unilocaling that I’m not exactly seeking out the most healthy restaurants in the country. Oops. :)
I work out with Charles in the gym at the Marsh building but I know he meets clients at other gyms and in their homes, dependant upon his schedule, etc. I can also say that Charles really lives by his mantra «no more excuses». Even though I travel for business, Charles finds a way to work in 2 – 3 workouts with him per week … whether it’s before work. after work, or weekends. For some of his other clients, I think he’s on a more regular schedule. But it sure is nice to have that flexibility for those of us who need it.
Finally, let me speak for a minute on value. 3 hours/​week with Charles does not cost nearly as much as with some other trendy gyms around town. I can’t believe I pay the man to make me sweat and ache the way he does but seriously, it’s clearly worth every cent!
