"I have not utilized a personal trainer before so I have nothing to which I can compare my experience.

However, I have lost about 13 pounds and about 2 inches in my waistline and have much better strength. Jim is an easy-going, good guy to work with. I would suggest that you can be confident in connecting him with your clients. Thanks!"

Tom Goodwin - Bethesda, MD

“About 8 years ago, I lost 117 pounds.  I did it the old fashioned way, diet and exercise.  Over the last 7 years, I've played the yo-yo game.  Gaining 20 pounds, losing 10.  I tried every quick fix out there from Ephedra to Weight Watchers, all worked for a short time, but I ultimately gave up.  This Christmas, only 20 pounds shy of my all-time highest weight, I knew it was time for a change.  I asked my husband for a personal trainer for Christmas, through the gym I already belonged to.  When he researched the options, he quickly learned the trainers were not long term and not necessarily qualified to assist in a well-rounded program.  He started looking on-line and stumbled across Achieve Fitness.  He was impressed with the website and put in a call to Jesse Cannone.  After explaining my history to Jesse, my husband decided to go ahead and get me a 6 week gift certificate.

After Christmas, I called Jesse to get started.  He was both helpful and prompt.  He found someone who met my needs and we got started right away.  I have to admit, I was a bit skeptical, like I said, I've tried it all before, but I went into it with an open mind.  When I first talked with Steve Roy on the phone, he asked a lot of questions about my history and my goals.  When we met for the first time, I was very impressed with Steve's knowledge.  He started developing a plan specifically for me, read over my food diary, gave suggestions, and gave me some reading materials from Jesse.  I highly recommend the reading materials from Jesse, they made complete sense and gave me even more incentive!

I am officially 4 weeks into my adventure and completely satisfied with my results so far.  I've lost 13 pounds, have already dropped a size and am feeling stronger every day.  I know that this time is going to be different because with the support of Achieve Fitness, I am making a lifestyle change.  It's not a quick fix, it's not easy, but it's working!  The fundamentals I am learning now will help me throughout my life maintain this healthy lifestyle.”

Michelle Hurst - Leesburg , VA

"Now with help from you and adding strength training to my workout plan, I am now up to a 33 inch loss, woohoo! 10 yes that's right 10 inches off my butt alone!!!! Anyway, you have been lots of help, and I still have about 12 more inches over all to go, it doesn't feel so much like an up hill battle anymore!!! LIFE CHANGE is what I like to call it, never going fall into those lazy old habits again!!!!!!!"

Thanks for all the great info and help,

Devona Wells - Shepherdsville, KY

"I really want to thank you.  Your program has been just amazing for me!!!   I managed to lose 10 lbs. in weight effortlessly with a little cheating thrown in for good measure.  I also lost inches as well and dropped one dress size in the six week period that we met.   But the most beneficial aspect of the whole program was the stretching and exercise regimen you designed for me.  I am almost pain free having suffered from arthritis in my lower back, spine, shoulder and knees!!!"

Marie G - Washington, DC

"If you are looking for a personalized fitness program that includes both exercise and diet information, Jesse Cannone at Achieve Fitness is for you. For me, an update on the latest exercise techniques and diet tips was what I needed.  Over the last three months we were able to create a more effective routine for me to yield the results that I wanted.  I would highly recommend Jesse at Achieve Fitness."

Shannon Z - Chevy Chase, MD

“I never thought I was capable of working so hard!  I’m finally able to stick to my exercise program and be consistent.  I’ve noticed great improvement in my endurance and I rarely feel winded.”

Gaylynn M - Mt. Airy, MD

“I just went to the doctor and he’s worried because I gained 7 pounds, too bad he doesn’t realize it was all muscle!  Those strength-training techniques you showed me have really worked well.  When we first worked together my dumbbell press was at 60 pounds and I’m now using 90 pounds for the same number of reps!  It’s amazing how strong I’m getting.  The stretches you taught me also eliminated my shoulder pain in a matter of days!  I had been suffering from that shoulder problem for months.  I can’t believe how much I’ve learned in just 3 sessions, and how much progress I’ve made since we worked together.”

Terry H - Mt. Airy, MD

“I truly am enjoying my workouts.  Thank you for the encouragement!  I never thought I was capable of working so hard.”

Donnis K - Mt. Airy, MD

“Hey Jesse - Just to let you know, I have lost 15 pounds and become a regular member at the Health Club in Mt. Airy. I wanted to thank you for getting me on the right track.

My back has never felt so great!  I’ve noticed a huge difference in how I feel when I get up each morning.  I used to be very stiff – now I wake up feeling great!  I’ve made so much progress and I feel as if I haven’t even been trying that hard.”

Heidi S - Mt. Airy, MD

“This is great!  I never thought short workouts could be so effective.  I’ve learned so much already.  Now I know why I never saw the results I wanted, even though I was exercising five days a week for 2 hours at a time!  I’ve learned so much from your program and I feel great.  I feel so proud of myself.  I’m very grateful.  Thanks again ”

Sandy A -Olney, MD

“Jesse… Thanks for the wealth of information found in the newsletter.  The exercise program you developed for me has been working great.  I’ve even been implementing changes in my routine as you suggested and am noticing continuous improvement.”

Peta T - Mt. Airy, MD

“I’ve been working out consistently now for 8 weeks and I’ve lost 7 pounds!  I feel I’ve been using proper form, going slowly, and pushing myself more and more.  Things are going well and I feel great!”

Julie C - Mt. Airy, MD

“I can’t believe it!  I didn’t think I was doing well.  I felt like my eating habits were pretty bad and I didn’t see or feel like I was making much progress.  It’s very motivating to know that I’ve lost 5 pounds of fat in just 2 months.  Plus, I now understand that I can’t judge my progress on the numbers on the scale.  Thanks for everything!”

An Amazing Success Story: Jim Pantos

Germantown, Maryland

When I began working with Jesse Cannone in November, 1998, I weighed nearly 230 pounds and was over 20% body fat. I had lower back pain and forearm tendonitis commonly known as tennis elbow. When we began, he immediately took an aggressive approach to help me to not only alter my own daily fitness practices, but he began to educate me in the right way to address things like nutrition, cardio workouts, frequency and timing of workouts and long-term goals. He emphasized the importance of incremental progress and the integration of fitness into every aspect of life.

Jesse has been extremely flexible in crafting workout and nutrition programs that not only suit my own personal needs, but also that can work with my own home equipment and facilities, and can succeed around my own work and personal schedule. I have become a firm believer that an effective fitness and nutrition program can be successfully combined into the lifestyle of anyone who is willing to commit themselves to it's success. Jesse has helped greatly in shaping my attitude from one of frustration to one of determination by demonstrating a formula that has shown proven success first in his own results and then in mine.

After less than three years, I now weigh around 190 pounds with a body fat level around 10%. My back is almost completely pain free and I cannot remember the last time I felt any pain in my forearm. This has happened without any medical attention whatsoever. And these gains have happened even as I have gotten three years older, which makes it even more valuable to me. There is every reason in my mind to believe that this progress will continue. I have benefited tremendously from his skill and knowledge. It is not just some small improvement in the way I look and feel. It is a substantial gain in the quality of my life.
