Jolly Good Fitness

As a lifelong athlete I was always skeptical of personal trainers, I didn’t think I could learn that much more to be worth the price. But Tony totally changed my mind, he is fantastic. He obviously is so dedicated to developing a detailed program tailored really specifically to each person’s goals and strengths and weaknesses, and you can tell he really takes pride in his work and cares about his clients, and e knows so much about fitness, training and physiology. The workouts are varied and fun while also taking a long-​range approach with different phases meant to achieve different goals. I had been doing weight training machines for about 15 years without ever improving in strength and after 10 weeks working with Tony I realized a measurable difference in how much I could lift. I totally recommend Jolly Good Fitness!

Top 5 reasons that make Tony Doyle is the best personal trainer (according to me :))
1. Experience and education. National Academy of Sports Medicine certified personal trainer (NASM). He can accurately assess your fitness level, help you figure out your goals and set up a program that will keep you motivated — and more importantly coming back week after week.
2. Supervision. You will NEVER do alone what he can help you accomplish! Face it, you don’t know your own limitations and unless you are an elite athlete (and probably even if you are) you cannot always be aware of your form. For me, with weight training whenever it got hard — instead of calling more on my core — I would throw my shoulders into it for help — Tony ALWAYS noticed and reminded me what I needed to do.
3. Trust. How can you trust yourself to know if you are pushing hard enough or too hard? How do you trust that you can do an exercise correctly to achieve maximum result and not accidentally cause injury? With Tony, I totally trust his judgment — on things that I would have never even attempted myself — never would have thought I was capable of or had the confidence to try.
4. Accountability. Who is going to notice if you don’t work out today? Maybe your buddy will but do you really want to be accountable to him/​her — count on him/​her to stay motivated? Tony works your plan to meet your goals but holds you accountable to show up and do the work. The bonus is my huge sense of accomplishment!
5. Genuineness. Does it matter that your trainer is the real deal? You just want someone that is very good at what they do and have all the qualities that people say they have. Well, that is the definition of the real deal and that is Tony. His genuine interest in what he does shows and hopefully that lifelong interest in exercise has rubbed off on me too. Because of the progress that I have made with the strength training, it gave me the confidence to sign up for a half marathon and his training plan for that will not just help me finish but shave a little off my time!
So now stop thinking about it and — like the commercial says — just do it! You will never look back and I promise you will never be sorry.

I have worked with personal trainers off and on for a number of years and Tony Doyle is by far the most conscientious and knowledgeable trainer I’ve met. When we started he took special care to find out my goals and fitness needs, planned carefully to address those needs, and has modified the plan on a frequent basis to ensure my growth. Each time we meet he has a written program for my workout and he keeps detailed records of my progress. He has also helped me address several special problems with my low back and shoulder. Though he is a demanding trainer, I never feel pressure with Tony – on the contrary, it is his consistent gentle encouragement that has helped me achieve fitness goals I never thought possible. I recommend Tony Doyle to anyone who wants professional support – whether you are a skilled athlete in training or a person seeking guidance for general fitness, Tony will not disappoint you.
